CHAPTER 5

The Eggs of Life

Early in the morning, Dalila woke up and found out that Sarah was gone. Her mind quickly ran to what her mother said about Sarah. Then she immediately started going to join her mother at the entrance of the mountain. She ran as fast as she could and finally got to the place at the right time. Her mother was right at the entrance, looking worried. They stood there and waited for the mountain’s doors to open.

When the doors opened, they had the chance to get in and ran straight to the place where lie the eggs and the ring. Suddenly, her mother stopped and pointed her finger at the eggs and said,

—There, over there lie the eggs and the ring you’re looking for, while I’ll watch over you because we don’t have much time. Now, go, get them fast and let’s leave this place now before Kumba notices our presence and end your life here.

—Mother, why don’t you come with me and let’s do the process together. I still need you.

—You are the one sent to accomplish this mission. You’ve been brave among all your mates all this time when I wasn’t around. This is your last step, and do not put down all this effort. Do as if I’m not here.

—Mother, I know all that, but since you’re with me, I don’t want to do it without you, but I will do as you said.

—Go faster. Kumba will soon be here, and if she finds us here, it will turn to something else. You might end up like I did, and I don’t wish that.

Dalila did as her mother requested. As she was walking, she had a lot going on her mind. Every step she made made her think about the pain and suffering she endured before getting to where she was at that moment. As she arrived where the eggs lay, she looked at them and touched them for a while, and suddenly, tears came out of her eyes.

—My daughter, why are you crying? You should be laughing and not the contrary. You succeeded, so be proud of yourself.

—Mother, tears of joy, my tears are tears of joy and victory, so this is the truth, Mother? On my right hand, I’m holding the eggs and on my left hand, the ring. So tell me whether this is a reality or a dream. So this will happen one day, I still can’t believe it.

—It’s all true, Dalila. It’s all your destiny, and it’s all right, let’s get out of here fast.

As Dalila’s mother finished talking, the sound of handclap came behind them, and they immediately turned back, and there was Kumba sitting on a high chair and Sarah right next to her.

—This is arriving to the right place at the right time, said Kumba. Seems like I interrupted an interesting mother and daughter conversation, but I want one of the two of you to tell me something. What does the mouse do when it is fed up of living?

Dalila and her mother kept quiet and turned down their heads.
