Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband

Maureen had a way of bringing a dark cloud at the right moment and adding bad news to an already bad moment. Everyone was thinking about the demon army when she asked if they were doomed.

David was recalling the day his mean had faced off against the demon in Humphrey. Phoebe had called it a minor demon. His men with their training and guns, had failed to fight off a minor demon. What would they do when faced with an army of the major players?

Rekha was thinking about Azur--thinking back to the day he killed her parents. One Azur had overturned a car, what an army of demons like him do?

Phoebe was thinking about the ice cream she had left on the table. Now would be a good time to eat that pistachio ice cream.

"We are not doomed." Rufus said slowly. He was trying his best to sound enthusiastic and he was already coming up with a plan. They needed spell weavers, stronger guardians, expert hunters, witches.....shamans. He looked at Phoebe, she was a shaman, and she was powerful.

"God, I hope you are right." Maureen sighed. "I can authoritatively tell you that Azur and his demons have been searching for the location where Ravana was locked and hunting for the mystic keys. We do not know how many they have in their possession as of yet." She poured herself more whiskey emptying the bottle.

Without waiting to be asked to bring more alcohol, David took the initiative. "There is more where this came from." He placed two bottles on the table.

[This is why we need to know how many keys you have grandpa Rufus. We should know where we stand and who is winning so far. We can also tell how much time we have until the supernatural war.] A thought appeared on Phoebe's forehead.

A sigh of defeat came from Rufus. "So, this is why you all wanted to know if I was in possession of the keys. As the Saxon's we have protected the key that was entrusted in our care. And also, there is one stowed in the coffers of the academy making them two." He confessed to them.

"Two! Oh, thank goodness." Maureen placed a hand on her chest and let out a huge exhalation.

A wave of relief washed over the spirit's entire being, the frown on its face disappearing.

Some of the people in the room just could not understand why the others seemed relieved. Those were just two keys. Maybe Azur and his side had the other four.

"What is happening here, am I the only person that is worried that this Azur could be having the other four keys? Four beats two unless my math has suddenly decided to take a vacation right now. So, why are some of you acting relieved?" Rekha dropped a question; her thoughts were similar to those of the two men in the room.

The spirit quickly answered. "We are relieved because I know of two keys and where they are. You don't need to ask me where, just know that they are in the safest place in the world." It revealed. "We need to get our hands on the rest of the keys before they are snatched."

"Four out of six, that means that the odds are in our favor. We can assume that Azur has two but that is not a number to brag about because it means we are winning. I can see why you are relieved." Rekha slumped back in the chair, releasing breathe that she did not know that she was holding.

A faint, almost involuntary smile touched David's lips. "That is great to hear but this key at the academy is it still there? Grandpa a while ago you said that there were moles, and someone released Azur from prison so how do we know that the key stowed there is safe and sound?" He asked, airing his concerns.

With everything that he had been occupied with, Rufus had not for once suspected that the key would not be at the academy. But now that David had spoken about it, worry began to consume him immediately.

He wished he had wings to fly there and check immediately but that was complicated too because to access the vaults, at least four people needed to put a password.

"The storekeepers are the most trusted guardians in the academy. From my investigations so far, they have remained loyal and true to their mission. There is no way that key was stolen under their watch. Besides, the key is floating inside a magical ball that is full of energy left there by the grand guardian. That energy will kill anyone that attempts to access the key, I am certain that it is there even though I have not confirmed with my eyes.

Phoebe shifted to the edge of her seat. "I want to see it; no I have to see it for myself." She made a demand.

Arching an eyebrow, Rufus stared at Phoebe. "Is that necessary especially since your father does not want you near that academy? Do you plan to just waltz in there, say hi to the storekeepers and enter the vault as if it is the Mayfair manor? I am sure that someone will mention it to your father." He scoffed like it was all a joke.

"Sneak me in if you have to, I will even wear a disguise, but I have to be sure about what you are telling me is the fact." Phoebe answered swiftly, the desperation in her tone got him interested.

Rufus continued to study her, his instincts warning him that there was more that she was not revealing. "Why? Tell me the real reason and I will speak to Edward myself in case your visit to the academy brings trouble." He made a reasonable proposal.

Looking at the spirit as if seeking for permission, Phoebe's eyes shifted to Rufus after the spirit nodded. "Those two keys Zephyra told you about are in my possession and the keys are not the only way to unlock burial Ravana's place." She revealed.
