So the next day they prepared for the burial rite of the midwife, many people wiped because they can't bare the pain of loosing a very generous woman. Everyone was drinking and eating that day, but the son of the midwife could neither eat nor drink because he was the cause of his mother's death.
The midwife son suddenly leave the scene, he went into the forest and sat down on a root of an iroko tree wiping in pain, and he shouted "while did I betrayed my half brother and mother because of money ", he didn't know there was a guard from Jericho passing nearby.
The guard overheard him, then he quietly moved to the direction of the voice and behold he saw him.
The time the midwife son showed them the location of the wizard and Alex location, he was paid the actual amount but out of greed he stole away a huge some of money, and since then the guard's have been looking for him.
Instead of him to use the money for the betterment of his life, he started gambling with the money, drinks all day and that made him useless to him self that he lost all the money he had within a twinkle of an eye.
The guard approached him, and he said "where is all the money you stole the day you completed a task for us?". The midwife son tried to run but the the guard was faster than him, they started fighting but the guard out matched him after all struggles the midwife son was beheaded.
When Alex and others were till in the burial ceremony of the late midwife, they discovered that the midwife son was out of sight. Some people began to search for him, after searching all round the vicinity there was no trace of him. Some minutes later, they saw an hunter heading towards them sadly meanwhile, the hunter was watching the fight within the midwife and his son but he decided not to intervene when he heard about there conversation, and he took it in mind that the midwife son is a traitor.
He explained everything that happened in the forest to them, they quickly ran into the forest to search for the corpse of the son, a lady who was among them saw it first and shouted, when they all heard the scream all of them went towards that direction and they were frightened that they was no head to be found.
Meanwhile, the guard already took the head of the son to the castle of queen Elixir, when the queen saw this she was very happy but wasn't happy enough because it wasn't the head of the chosen one(Alex), but although she rewarded him because of his loyalty.
Alex and some villagers that went to find the corpse of the midwife son hurriedly carried the remaining body and went to the house were the funeral is being taken place, as they arrived there was a deep silence in the air that nobody said anything.
When everyone discovered it was the midwife's son, they started sobering and they was an high volume of noise in the atmosphere. They buried him next to his mother in same day, this was a very great tragedy that day that the news spread wild many villages.
The next day Alex, the witch and the wizard began there journey to the city of Jericho, that was where the castle of queen Elixir was located and that is the original birthplace of Alex.
When they were about to leave many of the villagers doesn't wants Alex to leave, he brought joy to the community he also doesn't tolerate injustice, he fights for the weak and he is the brother to all kids in the community and they loved him for that.
The death of the midwife flashed into his head an that made him speechless for a moment. She took care of him like her child, she never allowed him to lack even though she is not materially fit, he started to remember all they went through in the cost of living. This made Alex to feel a tremendous pain in his heart that he became more quiet, Alex started blaming his self that he couldn't saved her the only moments she needed his help.
After all thinking's Alex asked for permission from the wizard and the witch and he said "the greatest and last wizard from the tenth order, before we begin this journey I will like to visit the grave of the midwife". The witch wanted to decline his offer because there is no time but the wizard replied saying "Alex son of the greatest wolf of Jericho you may leave but don't be too long because the time is ticking".
So he quickly went to the grave of the midwife, he stood there for sometime and after a while he made a speech and said "why did you leave me now when the road is so narrow, you took care of me since childhood birth but I wasn't given a chance to repay the kindness, why did you leave so soon!! why!" And he yells.
He heard a voice that said "even if we're in different parts and different dimensions now i will always be with you and protect you". When Alex turned his head towards the direction of the voice, behold it was the he midwife ghost. He wanted to move closer but the midwife told him not to come further.
She told him to remember who he is that he should never be afraid of his fears, she also told him that she was solemnly behind him, after saying that she vanished into thin air, Alex called her but there was no response and he heads home firmly because seeing her ghost made him relieved.
When he got home, the wizard and the witch was already preparing the things that would be used for traveling, so they began the journey to Jericho.
