Outer space -As they pulled her past Earth's atmosphere, Mira noticed that her captors were pixelating and slowly vanishing piece by piece. She thought they would take her down the same route that she used to travel to the Chemorian borders. However that was not the case. After crossing the earth's atmosphere, it started to feel like they had entered a different dimension. It's matrix was not the same. Mira could feel it. Even her own body started to feel heavier and strange. " Where are you taking me? Why? " She tried to utter but no word left her mouth. That same feeling of helplessness that she often experienced in her sleep, was back. Mira felt like she was getting sucked back inside her nightmares.The space around them was unusually dark even for the outer space. The further they went the weaker her captors became. Mira thought it might be her only chance but she was mistaken. She tried to summon her fire but nothing happened. Little did she know, she had already entered t
"Sacrifice who? "Braze forgot all about his mother. His hands were around Robert's collar and he demanded an answer. " That girl they took... that Chemorian... She... She isn't a normal girl... we cannot let her die. Her death will usher in endless darkness. A Darkness that no one will be able to ward off. "Robert was shaking so much Braze had to let go of his collar and hold him instead. "Mira? Are you talking about Mira? I thought you were a Watcher... why do you look so concerned about her? "Kian came forward. " I think he knows something beyond what we know... look at his eyes... "Robert's whites were gone when he had had his vision but they were gradually returning. " Kian, we don't have any time to lose. Let's get that Heartstaff and find Guardian Yvonne. Every second we lose, puts Mira at risk... "" They are waiting for the right time... "Robert murmured. " What? " Braze turned around to look at him with irritation. " They are waiting for the stars to align... with
" It should have been right here... "Braze was digging through the cave like a mole. They were back to the Mountain of Forgetfulness, but without any fruitful results. They had been going around in circles around the place. They looked inside every crook and creek, went around every bend and corner. But it seemed like all their attempts were futile. " This was the cave... wasn't it Xen? Tell me... why are you not helping? Don't you care about Mira? "Braze was on the verge of losing his sanity. Xen didn't mind him pouncing on him and punching the air. " Yelling and shouting is not going to take us anywhere."Xen pulled his hand away from his collar. " Do you care about her or not? Time? Who knows how much time we even have... don't tell me you believe the shit that Watcher spewed. He looks like a psycho. He is waiting for a dead woman to come back to life... What is she? Jesus? Like...that psycho looked very capable of killing her... I don't trust him ... not even a little bit.
" Thank you mister. I cannot believe I had to go through all this just because I had agreed to this engagement. "Betty could not stop spewing as Robert helped each one of them up and out of their bondage. " Well Betty. I had given you the option. I told you that I had no control over how Kian felt. If he isn't going to go ahead with your relationship... I can do nothing about it. " Kian's grandfather looked absolutely fed up with her tactics. " He didn't even stop to check on me. He went away as if I didn't even exist... all because of that witch... serves her right... abducted and sacrificed.... that's how it should be... " Apparently, her sharp ears didn't miss any part of the story. She was rooting for the Dark Mages and was met with nothing but frowns. " Betty... just go home and rest. I do not have any more strength left for this. " Kian's grandfather caught Robert's arm and whispered. "Please tell me how I can help my grandson. I don't understand what is going on but I can
" Never thought I was going to ever come back here. "Kiara sighed as she stood outside the Chemorian border. She knew it was a once way ticket. Once she entered that realm while still using her human flesh, she knew she could never get it back. But it was necessary. " Anything for my child. "She heaved a deep breath before penetrating the atmosphere as her flesh caught fire with the friction. Unlike Mira, she had borrowed flesh. Kiara tried to muffle the screams that threatened to escape her lips as she grew new flesh in place of the old ones that were getting wiped off." Argh!" Kiara tried to bear the pain but groans slipped out of her tongue. " Caleb, I am going to make you pay for this. If you touch even a strand of her hair, I am going to rip those pretty eyes off their shocket if you, " She was trying to channelize her pain into more anger. " Heavens forbid, I am not late. That cannot be. Caleb, do you listen to what I say! You better keep your distance from Mira. "Kiara
" Lord Kilian, you must not suffer like this. "Sitara placed her hand over Kilian's shoulder affectionately but one sharp look from him was enough to get her to move it. " What does it look like? " He asked the medical practitioner tending to Kiara's wound. The practitioner shook his head. " She will not survive. All I can do is give her some sedatives so it's less painful. " Kilian sat down beside him and looked in his eyes, " Is there nothing that we can do to help her? "The practitioner shook his head." I am afraid not, Lord Kilian. She must have known it was suicide coming back inside Chemorian atmosphere after taking on a human form for so long. What was she thinking? "Kilian sat there in absolute silence as the practitioner administered some Intravenous injections making her groans subside. " How long does she have? " Kilian asked, his expression difficult to read. " It's impossible to say. It would be safe to say she lives as long as she keeps fighting with her dying b
" Is she sleeping? "The Dark Lord stood at the periphery of the bubble that kept Mira enclosed. It was his first time laying his eyes on his treasure, his own flesh and blood. It would be untrue to say that Caleb never loved Kiara. In fact he loved her so much he was on the verge of abandoning his mission and thinking about a mundane future with her. She had him wrapped around her fingers. Had it not been for the Dark Forces, reclaiming his heart, he would never have achieved the heights of greatness where he presently resided.The weak insignificant Caleb inside him was long dead and gone. Or so he thought. Nobody knew that he was there. Nobody needed to know. He needed to stay away from her, untill the right moment, to avoid any kind of contamination before the ritual. However, something inside him didn't let him sleep. " She is so close. She is finally here! "The voice inside his head spoke when no one was around. " Come on, now. One look. Just a glance. You have been in
" Boys, can you hear me! "Kilian's voice made all three of them drop whatever they were doing, even Kian paid his full attention while dodging one swing after another from Razzak's spade. " I have mobilised my troop. We don't have much time. I know Mira is still alive because they are waiting for the stars to align but that does not guarantee her safety. Do you have the Staff with you? "" No! But I think I am close. Can you hear what I am saying? ”Kian yelled at the air which left Razzak surprised. " Whom are you talking with? How? ” She leaped at him but he effectively dodged her again this time. " Don't worry, I have tuned into Chemorian frequency and I can hear you guys just fine... at least for some time. "" Kian, are you sure that you are close?Where are you? Shouldn't we get to you and help you instead of hunting in the dark? " " Xen he can't hear you directly. I will have to let him know. Let me ask guide you to where he is. We don't have much time.Let me help you while
