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
"We approach the Nexus." Rozelle announced. The Nexus, a hypothetical realm where time and space intertwined, where the fabric of reality itself quivered with anticipation. There, amidst the swirling tempest of energy, lay Mira, imprisoned within the depths of oblivion.It seemed like it had manifested in their route out of nowhere but that was where they were headed. The ship streaked through the void, a symphony of light cutting through the shadows.Before they made the plunge, the beautiful world of Chemora graced them with its presence. They could only momentarily see it before moving up ahead because there was no stopping. Time was expensive. The light from their home planet, cast an eerie shadow on their faces but they quickly moved away, heading straight towards the ladder because it was time for them to head out. But even as they approached, tendrils of darkness reached out, threatening to consume them whole."We are not alone," Xen's voice echoed with urgency, sensors a
"Scatter, you pests! "The force field that erupted from his cloak , pushed everyone away from the core where Mira lay. " The Hour is here. Begin the process. "There was not another moment of hesitation for Xen, Kian and Braze. " Stay away from this if you want, but Mira is my personal concern. "Braze told his brother as they plunged themselves inside the core. " What's with this girl! " Brian wondered as he decided to withhold the troop for the time being. Kilian dived inside with his fleet as they began taking on one Dark Mage after another. The Dark Lord had attached himself with Mira. The sacrificial process had begun. " You need to work together to make use of the power of the Staff! It is useless, no matter how much you work. "Kilian poked Xen but he refused to pay any attention. " This is the Dark Lord. He will have what he wants. My troops are not infinite. He will lose ground and Mira, unless you take action. Merge your powers. Attack together. " Kilian tried to tel
George looked around for his sister. She was walking back towards the spaceship carrying the battered body of Robert, just like himself. " I need to make sure if he is breathing. " Rozelle looked lost. A pair of hands snatched Mira from his hands. " Give her back, human! " It was Brian. " This is really amusing. What are your earthlings doing here with these fish tanks on your head? It keeps getting amusing... Shit! She isn't breathing. Is she dead?"Brian exclamation made everyone's head turn. " No! That's not possible! "Braze leaped beside him and pulled her out of his grip. He pressed his head against her chest. It was still. His face turned white. He began to pump her chest with both his hands , desperation making his heart jump out of his mouth. " No... Mira... No! This isn't happening! "Kian no longer had anymore strength left to fight. He fainted on the spot. " Quick! Grab the prince and take him back to the tribe. How job here is done. "The Marines lifted him up
