The Palace was bustling with activities. Everyone was getting ready for the SWORD DANCE FESTIVAL.
It's a festival normally organized for communication with the Supernatural and defense against evil spirits.
Everyone was busy, the servants were arranging the necessary equipment while the selected performers were practicing their sword dance in their training ground.
Gabriel has been so excited for today, he loves it whenever it's the SWORD DANCE FESTIVAL. He really cannot wait to be grown up and start practicing with the sword.
"Oh Heavens! Gabby can you please tell me why you are hyperactive today? This is not the first or even second time of you watching the sword dance" Gulf confusedly said to his son who was practicing with a stick in his room
"Mom,servant Jing was selected this year to perform,I watched her yesterday and she's sooo good, she promised to teach me when I grow up. I can't wait to watch her perform, you will like her mommy" Gabby excitedly said
"Seems like you made a friend while I was away, you speak so highly of her" Gulf said pretending to be jealous
"She took care of me when you weren't here mommy, Grandma appointed her to take care of me, she was very nice, during the sword dance I will show her to you okay" Gabby chuckled and kissed his mother's face
"Alright son, now stop playing with that stick, it's dangerous okay. The festival would soon start, come here let me prepare you and your sister" Gulf said taking Gabby by his hand with Ava in his other arms to have a bathe.

"Do not fail me today my dear, it would be our only opportunity to terminate him, the earlier we make them weak the better for us and very soon the kingdom would belong to us" a woman spoke seriously
"Trust me mother, I never failed whenever I gave King Mew the charm potion so be rest assured that this would go well for us, after he is gone, the other would definitely weaken" a younger woman said with a smirk
"I trust you and remember to make it look like an accident. Let's go..it's time" and they both left for the festival.

A knock was heard from the outside of Gabby's room door.
"Gabby please check on who's at the door" Gulf said as he dressed Ava up for the festival, Gulf and Gabby were already dressed and ready to go
"D-daddy???" Gabby muttered,somehow he felt distant towards his Dad, he couldn't help but miss him too, after all his Dad has always been sweet and good to him before he suddenly turned wicked and heartless. He was surprised to find his father there.
"May I come in son?" Mew gently asked, he felt like he was talking with a total stranger, the bond between the father and son was gradually getting thinner
"Who's that at the door??" Gulf asked as he approached there to check as Gabby had wasted a little time. He was kind of scared to see that it was Mew
'Is he here to throw my daughter and I out again??..does he want to take Gabby away from me??" Gulf thought
"Can I come inside? Uhm I have something to ask of you" Mew calmly said with his gaze on Ava who was in Gulf's arms, Gulf then shifted aside for Mew to enter
"What do you want to ask?" Gulf went straight to the point when Mew had entered
"Uhm I know I have no right to ask of this from you but uhm..Can you and Ava please seat with Gabby and I during the festival, like in the Royal stand?" Mew asked calmly but he was anxious inside of him
