Spinx Bazel kept away from Amarah’s home for a while, after he saw that DJ flip built an underground room, near the river cave to her house. Not only was the house Amara’s home, but it was Flip’s home plus the property. They were living together and married, but Bazel could still spy on Amarah from a distance up high in the rocky mountains. Up high, he could look down and see everything.

 Sometimes Bazel would go down the mountain to get to the river cave to go for a swim, but it would only put him in grief to see what Flip had built. It wasn't easy to get closer to Amarah anymore. The walls of the underground room blocked his view. It kept Amarah inside and the glass windows were tinted from the outside.

 In the meantime, Bazel sat high spying and thinking how he had to leave and go back to Egypt with Katrina. He began to hold hatred in his heart for Flip wishing it had been him that Amarah had married. Bazel thought about how to get Flip out of the way so he could have Amarah.

 Suddenly, Bazel began to hear a small faint voice in the cool breeze.

Voice:  Noooo brother Bazel.

Bazel  began to look around. He looked up and saw the clouds moving.

Voice:  Thou shalt not.

 In anger Bazel began to speak out loud:  I'm going to kill Flip! He took away the woman I love!

Voice:   You didn’t love her before, and now you covet. And now you want to kill. If you kill, you will be punished.

Bazel:  Get away from me! I'm going to kill Flip if it's the last thing I do!

 At that very moment, Bazel looked and saw a dark shadow covering the house of Amarah, and he saw something go down into her swimming pool with a tail of a giant seahorse.

Bazel asked:  What is that I see? 

And the voice that spoke to Bazel said: Great evil has come!

Bazel: I must go down and see.

Voice: Stay away Bazel. Stay away!
