MY JENN HUSBAND

Chapter 13. NURA'S AND DOGO GROW UP

*CHAPTER 13: NURA AND DOGO GROW UP*

Ten years later.

Nura was now fifteen years old. She was beautiful. Her golden eyes shone like the sun. Her hair was long and black like her mother.

Dogo was also fifteen. He was tall and strong. His wings were now big and white. He was no longer the scared boy from the hole. He was now the protector of the forest.

Every morning, Nura and Dogo went to the village together.

Nura healed the sick. Dogo carried water for the old people. Everyone loved them.

But one day, something strange happened.

A dark cloud came over the forest. The flowers started to die. The birds stopped singing.

Nura touched a flower. The flower turned black in her hand.

"Mama!" Nura shouted. "Something is wrong!"

Asabe ran out. She looked at the sky. Her face became serious.

"This darkness..." Asabe whispered. "I have felt it before. It is not from our world."

Zayd also came out. He looked at the sky. "It is coming from the Old Mountain. The mountain we closed ten years ago."

Dogo flew up to see. He came back quickly, breathing hard.

"It is true!" Dogo said. "There is a man on the mountain. He is wearing black. He is opening the dark gate again!"

Asabe held Nura's hand. "Nura, listen to me. The darkness you see is the same darkness your mother fought before you were born. It feeds on hate and fear."

Nura looked at her mother. "What should I do, Mama?"

Asabe smiled. "You already know. You don't fight darkness with sword. You fight it with light. With love."

That night, Nura, Dogo, Zayd, and Asabe went to the Old Mountain.

On top of the mountain stood a man. His eyes were red. His hands were full of black smoke.

"Who are you?" Zayd asked.

The man laughed. "I am the son of the darkness you thought you killed. My father was defeated by Asabe. Now I will destroy her daughter!"

He threw black fire at Nura.

"Nura!" Dogo shouted. He flew in front of her and blocked the fire with his wings. His wings burned.

"Dogo!" Nura cried. She held him.

Dogo looked at her, in pain. "Nura... don't cry... I am your brother... I will always protect you..."

Nura's tears fell on Dogo's wings. Her tears were not water. They were light.

Suddenly, Dogo's wings healed again. But this time, they became wings of light. Shining white. Stronger than before.

Nura stood up. Her whole body started glowing. Brighter than the sun.

She walked towards the dark man. She did not shout. She did not fight.

She put her hand on his chest.

"Why are you angry?" Nura asked softly.

The man was shocked. "What... what are you doing?"

"You lost your father," Nura said. "I understand. I also would be sad. But hate will not bring him back. Love will heal you."

The man's red eyes started to change. Slowly, they became normal. Brown.

Tears fell from his eyes. Black tears. Then clear tears.

"I... I was alone..." the man whispered. "Everyone left me."

Nura held his hand. "You are not alone now. You are family."

The dark cloud disappeared. The sky became blue again. The flowers bloomed again, more beautiful than before.

The man knelt down and cried like a child. Dogo hugged him. Zayd hugged him. Asabe hugged them all.

Nura looked at the sky and smiled.

"Mama," Nura said, "You were right. Light is stronger than darkness."

Asabe hugged her daughter. "You did it, Nura. You did what I did. But you did it even better. Because you did it with love, not fear."

Zayd looked at his daughter proudly. "The Child of Light has become the Woman of Light."

And from that day, the Old Mountain was no longer called Old Mountain.

It was called *Mountain of Nura* - the mountain where darkness became light.
