" 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
The three of them carried Razzak out and put her beside the road with a 'Help Me' sign stuck on her back. " Should we move to the coordinates that were provided? " Kian asked flexing his wrist though there was visibly nothing on them. " I think we should. But are we sure that we can control this now? "The three of them looked at each other. " Let's give it one last try! "Xen opened his leather jacket and pulled out what seemed like a pen. But before anybody could blink an eye, it turned into a mighty Staff and the bracelets on Kian's and Braze's wrists became visible. " Seems like it works fine! " They quickly put it away and left for the designated coordinates. Upon arrival Braze was shocked as he witnessed vet Layla up and alive, getting mauled and manhandled by not only Robert but another person. He was forced to believe the Gala theory that was put forth but it was never easy watching someone whom you knew as a human getting hurt. As soon as they neared , the Gala sensed
" Where is Braze and Kian? "Xen yelled as they almost heckled him and took him to another chamber. His hands were cuffed even though they said they just wanted to talk. It irked Xen a lot and he felt like punching each one in their face. The ones who had brought him there, left without answering his question, leaving him fuming with more rage . " Calm down dear boy! Rage is not good for those that come from your tribe. "Xen looked around but saw no one. Then the door flung open and a very old looking man entered. He smiled at Xen and then closed the door behind him and it was only Xen and himself, in that chamber. " Let me introduce myself dear boy, I am a retired Watcher and I used to go by the name, Big Boy. "Xen did not reciprocate his smile. " I believe that you might be well aware of your roots. "He stared into Xen's eyes as if reading his thoughts. " Not a problem dear boy. That's what we are here for. Let me show you something. Something that I had documented mysel
Braze and Kian had been yelling at each other. They were kept in adjacent chambers but both fell silent when the same old man, with the same welcoming smile and oval glasses on his eye, entered their rooms, simultaneously. They too , were shown snippets of what was supposed to be documentaries on their tribes. Kian learnt about Azura, the mighty jinn who aided his father. Braze was told about the struggles his tribe faced due to the others. They too were sucked inside those spiralling lights that took them to a world inside their heads, which they didn't even know existed. ***" George! Georgie! Wake up Lazy ass! "Rozelle literally kicked George at his balls while he was dozing off in blissful slumber. " The hell! What happened now? Did the earth split apart or do you have another bug crawling inside that big head! " He pushed her head back with one finger as she stared at his face. She pressed him mouth and tackled him as he struggled. " Keep it down. I am not supposed to be
Mira was dreaming. It had been awhile since she had that pleasure. Those nightmares had been clogging her brain and soul but she was feeling strangely free and elevated. She was floating. But there were knots tying her down. She could feel those knots at her pit.They did not hurt but sure they were uncomfortable.She saw herself sleeping in her dream but she was floating as she slept. The wind tool her over the clouds and from there the earth sparkled below. It was blue and green. Gradually she saw it's colours changing. There were myriad mists that started hovering over it like fog. Mists of all colour and shapes, as if they were part of a rainbow. Mira kept sleeping as the landscape below her transformed. It was no longer earth but the terrains of her home planet, Chemora. Mira reached out to cover her eyes, because the sun shone too bright and it seemed like it had come closer. She tried to lift her head and see where she was but a pair of gentle hands thrust her down.
At the Watcher Head quarters-" How did two people, manage to take down an entire troop? An entire building full of the best Watchers and AI guards, could not take down a couple of fugitives? This is beyond humiliating.I don't know how I am going to report this to the president! "A voice asked the gathered seniors at the Watchers headquarters along with their humanoid counterparts. It seemed like they were in a video call but the face of the one speaking was hidden. " This was a deliberate move. There is no malfunction involved.Please ask Mr.President to rest assured that he will get the desired results.After all the process does not matter. What matters is that we reach our goal and in the shortest possible time. " A humanoid guard finally answered. This took the Watcher head by complete surprise. " I beg your pardon? Deliberate move? What do you mean? "He pushed his chair and stood up, stopping himself from shaking because he definitely looked embarrassed. " Yes, Watcher hea
Xen was running for his life. There was a giant chasing him and it kept calling him.He was back in his nightmare in a narrow, lonely alley. He found himself trapped in his own thoughts. Darkness surrounded him, making it hard to breathe. He felt like something bad was about to happen.Then, he saw a flickering streetlight ahead, making creepy shapes on the ground. There was something on the floor—a sharp knife. It looked dangerous, shining in the dim light.He felt drawn to touch it, even though he was scared. When his hand met the cold metal, he felt a shock through his body.The metal morphed and shifted, just like his own hand. His hand no longer looked human neither did the metal look like a knife, it was a Staff all along. He knew that he was sweating. He knew that he wasn't awake. Yet he failed to wake up, instead he travelled to another dimension. There lay the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, lying on clouds, unaware that he was staring.He went closer. He wanted to f
The gong had been rung. The Heartstaff was coming home. It could mean only two things - end of hostilities or utter destruction in its wake. The entire Chemorian landscape was active. The tribes were on high alert. It was time for the Royal homecoming. The shoes were brushed and the harness was checked. Every weapon was shined and greased and each soldier was given a double dose of their usual supplement. The leaders sat inside their circles working on their core. Strengthening their strategies and working on their magic that was going to wreck havoc on the opponent. Chemora was gearing up for war. " It's near! " Layla's remark caught everyone's attention and they turned around only to hear her laugh. " He is here. He is coming for you. " She erupted into another hysterical laughter. " Did you all think that you forced me to bring you here? Hell no! I brought you here! This was my mission. You are doomed. You all are. This is your end. "Her laughter kept getting more and
