“Her beauty was a divine delicacy that I could only hold within my dreams. I tested my dream of her beauty, and I whispered her grace to the angels. The sounds of heaven replied to me, telling me that her beauty transcended not only in my dreams, but even heaven” – Lionel Suggs.
Aurora’s alarm was set for early dusk of the morning. As tradition compels, * the royal and guardian bloodline train together to ensure seamless locomotion* when defending the system. Olamide Obong sent an internal message to all his children: Kingsley, Ini, Ismael, Aurora and Eya through his bloodline. The bloodline possesses gifts varying across its generation. Amidst Olamide’s children, Aurora possessed the most, across several generation. She possessed the gift of teleportation and the ability to read emotions even when disguised, which came as a result of her mother being of royal blood. A major bone of contention in which the royal court fought against her parent’s entanglement, as they believed the bloodline mixture could produce a force to reckon with. But due to her parent’s strong will, Zainab and Olamide were able to have a great love despite the odds. A story she admired so much. After getting the alarm, Aurora got up, stretched, freshened up and teleported herself to the portal chamber, where she kitted herself and waited for others. Ini came in next and seeing Aurora she joked about how unfair it was that the rest of them had to walk all the way to the chamber. The portal chamber was found at the deepest part of the royal castle, sealed from everyone’s view, it was four floors beneath the ground. It was described as the devil’s home; it had minimum guards to avert attention to the portal within and is only visited in the earliest hours of the morning on founder’s day. Aurora laughed and said; ‘I am sorry, I didn’t mean to cause any envy on, besides you didn’t actual walk down because the lift is functioning’. Ini replied; ‘I think I’ll prefer being able to get to anywhere in seconds’. They both laughed as others trooped in. As per custom, everyone is expected to share their knowledge on the universe history before combat training, as this will aid to inculcate the knowledge that is needed to be passed on and King Sosa and Olamide saw to that. Every royal underwent this training and until a successor was chosen and a new generation formed. Aurora was properly adorned as she wore a dress made of the best silk, hand stitched with precious gems, delicately accentuating her shapely body. Her skin were of bronze like and her burgundy hair with a silk like texture that could be considered the eighth wonder tied up, with a curly strand left to bounce on her face. After being satisfied with her appearance she left for the ballroom. As she arrived, the room was filled with beings and creatures of caliber, dressed in the best of their apparel chanting, laughing and engaging in playful conversation. Striding down the stairs, she grabbed everyone’s attention as she was a rare gem, her sight as marvelous as that of Aurora Biase, even the Iris were disturbed by their inability to fully capture her beauty. However, the only thing more captivating than her looks was her character out, second to none except in her position as a daughter. Never had a maiden been made this perfect, vibrant like a light beam reflected from the moon, jealous of the sun in a purple night, as beautiful as a bed of roses hanging on a bill board of awe. Aurora showed no concern as to the attention she was getting, as that seemed like a common occurrence. She saw her beauty as a blessing and a curse. All she ever wanted was to experience the sort of genuine love her parents shared every day. Getting to the last stair, she met her bestie, ‘You almost blinded us’, Hephzibah said. ‘Are you sure you weren’t switched at birth?’ They both laughed and Aurora said; ‘Well, I am royalty due to my mother’s lineage but I don’t really care for it ’, How much have I missed?’ she asked. ‘Just right in the time for your speech, you are up next after this boring old performance by the giants’, Hephzibah replied laughing. Why do I have to be the one to give this speech, I am the fourth in line to the title, she thought, not so long after, she was called on stage. With the stage light on her, Aurora glowed even more as she captured the attention of her audience. She was known to be resilient, a force to be reckoned with, a great advocate for injustice and sustainability. She was adored by everyone she came across. She got a standing ovation for the speech she just delivered, giving more reasons as to why she should be worshipped. Getting off the stage and going to getting a drink at the wine spot, her father approached her with a beam on his face, showing how proud he was of her and said; ‘that was a great speech Aurora, it couldn’t have gone any better’, she replied; ‘Thanks Father but I am still not interested in taking over from you’, she knew these tactics. ‘But why don’t you want to Aurora? You possess the most gift, adored by everyone, there’s no one better in the universe, the best person to take on this responsibility’, he replied, showing his innermost intention. ‘And I never asked for any of that Father, I just want to experience the universe and share my story to my kids just like you did’, she responded. Ever since she grew into her powers, Olamide had been grooming Aurora to take over from him but she had been adamant as she believed Kingsley being the first born was the rightful heir to the universe. Ever since she could remember, she had dreamt of seeing the other four universes and experiencing a great love story and she knew with this responsibility, none of her desires could be possible. ‘Aurora, just give it a thought, you could see reason as to why just as everyone does’, he said calmly and left, as he knew being forceful wasn’t going to work on her. Aurora understood her father’s concern but she had her happiness to look out for, moreover it doesn’t seem fair to her, for her Father to skip all three children and hand over the title to her, she loved her siblings so much and didn’t want anything to come between them. She was aware how hard Kingsley toiled because of his birthright; she knew it wasn’t right to snatch it away from him. Being the most gifted had its demerits; she knew she didn’t have to take the title to utilize her potential. Seeing how the party was gradually dying, she stepped out to the private garden to receive and stared at the sky, after which she teleported herself to her Father’s library, which is her second favorite space in her universe as she gets to read and learn more about the other universes.“Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of other” – Roy. T. BennettAurora spent most of her time in her father’s library, reading, studying and learning new stuffs about the universe, the guardian, the royal line and the founding fathers’. These books and script could only be found in two places ; the king’s personal library and the her father’s personal library, which is strictly out of bound and only open to the chosen beings, having the ability to teleport herself, aurora was able to gain access into them as no one dares enter the libraries to avoid the death penalty. In the course of her research, aurora realized that the king was expected to constantly visit all other universe to be able to bring law and order across the universe without giving away the ancient secret. She realized that, not just the King but the guardian as well, needed t
“Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other” – Paulo CoelhoThe sun was setting as Aurora was lying at the park staring at the sky. She appreciated Hebe for their ability to see the wonders in nature by developing several park, this sold out to her sky gazing personality. The memories of her first meeting with this universe were still fresh in her head, the tall trees stretched out across the vast land, the happy birds chipping, and the broad blue skies above the trees, stretched out in a private magical forest that was owned by the royal family. Across the five parallel universes, the land in which the ends of the portal from the Bellona universe were found, was automatically owned by the royal family, by the structure of the foundering father’s to aid in curbing the possibility of the portals being found. Aurora was mesmerized by the vast land with the view of the deep blue ocean; she appreciated how
“Love doesn’t always come barreling down on you like a train engine. Sometimes it sneaks up on you like spring overtaking winter. The chill winds begin to warm and suddenly the trees have leaves and the flowers are blooming”- Ann H. Gabhart Everything seemed normal several days after the confrontation; Aurora was peacefully minding her business while exploring the city. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen around her and she enjoyed every moment of it. She thought about Neville, his employees and his business. She felt there were better ways to run his business, to command as much respect as he wants as well as providing a healthy environment for his employees to grow. ‘He is way too adamant to listen to anything outside his voice’, she said laughing, ‘why am I thinking of him?’ she said. ‘It’s not like, he could listen to some else’s point of view, and moreover he thinks I am too inexperience to offer h
“Stop waiting. Feel everything. Love achingly. Give impeccably. Let go” – David Deida. Aurora searched within her wardrobe for that perfect outfit for her date, which was later this evening. She didn’t want to seem so provocative but to enhance her feminine charm to ensure she made a long lasting statement on his mind. ‘Aahaa!! There’s nothing in here for the occasion, how can I have so much apparels but nothing for proper a date’, she cried out. She remembered how she acted like she wasn’t interested in the date, ‘Was he expecting me to give him a call after he dropped his card, hell no! Not going to give him that satisfaction’ she laughed. Aurora knew that Neville dropping off his card with her was for her to reach out to him, in order for both of them to set up a date. But Aurora being herself and understanding Neville, choose not to, to avoid being tagged “stuck up on him” probably i
“Kindness is universal. Sometimes being kind allows others to see the goodness in humanity through you. Always be kinder than necessary” – Germany Kent. The weekend came as fast as it ended, as aurora had only but memories of their interaction. She was beginning to have a different picture of Neville, which scared her but it seemed exciting also, she wondered the possibility of them being together. ‘That’s way too soon, I barely know anything about him’, she thought. Aurora having agreed with Neville, was in charge of implementing the new policies, she needed to meet with the appropriate management body. She had been thinking about the possible things that could go wrong with the meeting, she hadn’t worked in this sort of space, where she was acquainted with the chief executive prior to the business plan execution. She thought of the right outfit to put on, she wanted to get Neville’s attention as well as respect the
“To live in love is life’s greatest challenge. It requires more subtlety, flexibility, sensitivity, understanding, acceptance, tolerance, knowledge and strength than any other human endeavor” – Leo Buscaglia. The office area at the upper floor was still busy as she walked in, the office receptionist seeing her, recognized her and mistook her for coming for a follow up confrontation. With fear in which aurora could sense from the moment the lady sighted, she said;‘I am sorry ma’am, the boss will be too busy to attain to any of your complain’.Even though her complaint brought positive change the previous time, she knew today wasn’t the right day for it. Aurora understood the whole scene and was certain none of them had an idea of who the representative was. She smiled and responded;‘There’s no need to be sorry, I am not here for any complain, I have a meeting with the man
“Every new friend is a new adventure… the start of more memories”- Patrick Lindsay. ‘First day wasn’t so bad’, Aurora said.Though she knew was still upset with him, he didn’t seem to give a penny about her. Aurora thought why he started acting up, she was certain she didn’t say anything wrong and she knew for a fact he was okay with the new set-up, unless he wouldn’t have shared the same space with her.‘Is there any other snacks you would like’, the waitress said bringing her out of her thoughts.‘No thanks, I am fine with this’, she said pointing to the snacks on her table. Aurora after closing went over the lower floor to grab some evening snacks with the manager and waitress. She truly needed someone to talk to, one who will aid her in getting out of this mood she found herself in. Watching the waitress made her realize that she had no
“Courage is a love affair with the unknown” - OshoThe days flew by as fast as a waterfall, rushing with Aurora ensuring her strategies were put through to the letter, she knew she had to finish up as fast as she could because Kinsley, her brother informed her the previous night of their plan to move on to the next universe. She really didn’t want to leave Hebe universe, she had made friends and created a bound with Neville, who she hadn’t spoken with since she resumed work. That was one thing she knew she had to talk about before leaving, no matter how much she tries to avoid it, but instead, she choose to concentrate and pour all her focus into her task first. Aurora created a sub-team that would be able to control the implementation of her policies, and reported to her daily, aiding her to ensure thorough navigation within the entire chain of businesses. This created a lot of free time from her end, which she loved spending with Sydney and dell
