Mira's POVThis brings us back to the present. Life hasn't been normal for a couple of months now.We are now living with our new identities which Guardian Yvonne helped us forge. Braze and Kian were hit the hardest when Yvonne told them that it was best for their families to forget about them for awhile. He fed Braze's mother and Kian's grandfather a potion and instilled in them through hypnotherapy,the notion that their boys were off to study and explore foreign shores. Our focus has been on getting rid of the dark mages lately.Keeping ourselves well hidden from the Watchers and the Darklings came next and of course, trying to get back to our roots, to Chemora.None of the boys were able to get past the first barrier.I ended up reaching the peripherals of our mother planet, while chasing one of the Dark Mages, after it attacked us in his human form. This was a new nuisance. Even Guardian Yvonne failed to understand, how they acquired such transformational powers, under the Watche
Trigger warning ( sensitive topics like self hurt )-The Dark Lord pulled his nails out one by one. He seemed like he was relishing in that pain. Every time he pulled his flesh out along with each nail, a new one grew, almost immediately in its place. His legs were grazing above the fire and chewed on that metal blade. It was the same for all his organs. Every time it got severed it immediately regenerated as if adding salt to his sadistic fornication. As he repeated it again and again, his eyes rolled up and he arched his neck back, as if reaching his climax. " How dare you filthy b*tch? "He erupted into a frenzied shiver. " How dare you still hold me captive with those fierce eyes?" He gritted his teeth as tremors shook his entire body. " You saw me looking at you, didn't you? " He was rolling on the thorny floor as the thorns ripped tiny spots off his flesh. " You ran away not because you were embarrassed." He laughed like a mad man. " How dare you! " His emotion immediate
Robert had his hands full. The Watchers had too much on their plate with the influx of the Dark Mages who were almost untraceable. He did not have time to think about the fight he had with his brother.A fight that left him all alone in the true sense of the word. " Why is it that you always ruin everything for me Robert? " That was how Quill began his offensive while Robert was busy interrogating Layla and her motives. " You always hogged the limelight Robert. Everything I owned, everyone I loved... you somehow sidelined me in my own existence... "Robert had no time for his emotional outburst. He tried to push his brother out of the way so he could wring more information out of his suspicious doctor. " Why did you not tell me about him earlier? How many of such creatures are you in touch with? You must be honest with me Dr.Layla.Its a matter of security. Our planet is at risk... "Robert tried to gently shove Quill out of the way but Quill seemed unnaturally volatile. " I... I wa
***Back to the Present***Mira and the boys , just finished taking care of the rogue Dark Mage at the eastern cemetery. Mira had not been very talkative lately. The four of them walked back in silence as the sun slowly set in the back drop and evening enveloped them. The boys did not miss the unease in her breast despite her smiling face. She had been having sleepless nights because of those dreams. All her attempts had been futile. She was unable to coax Yvonne into helping her decipher those dreams. He neither divulged any information regarding her father nor did he give her any concoction that could help her irregular slumber. " Just try to ignore it and focus more on working out how to use your powers. "That was his repetitive solution and Mira slowly stopped discussing her problems with him further. Cultivating her powers, took her to the peripheral realms of Chemora in no time. Yet her questions were unanswered. She found herself distant from her reality. An unseen void w
" Uncle Kilian... " Mira inched in closer with a wide smile on her face as she dried her sweat with a towel. The workout had been intense but they definitely enjoyed it a lot. " Yes , Mira... " He smiled at her taking a sip of a cup of hot tea. " Will you be visiting Guardian Yvonne ? " Mira asked settling down in the chair beside him. " I might. Why do you ask? " Kilian looked nonchalant. " Ummm, nothing as such. I thought you might want to meet mother. " She added. " I bet I must... but it can wait. My time here is limited. I need to use it with you guys more than I need it with your mother. " He leaned forward. " I bet there might be questions that you need desperate answers to but you will not have any access to their answers except to through me, for the time being at least. "He winked at Mira and leaned back. She needed no more green signals. " I have been meaning to ask you about my father. Guardian Yvonne always ignores the topic and mother hasn't been very useful...
Mira was sweating again. Even the blanket felt too heavy. But she couldn't bring herself to move it from her body. She felt paralyzed. " Mira... What happened? Are your dreams getting worse? "Braze flipped the blanket away and scooped her up in his arm. He supported her head with one hand and held her waist with the other one. He gently shook her several times trying to wake her up. Mira woke up as if she was choking. Kian rushed in with a glass of water. " Mira... what's happening? " They looked genuinely worried as her face continued to turn red as if someone had cut off her air supply. Mira spit the water out as they tried to feed it to her. " She is out of breath. Should we make her lie down? CPR? " Xen asked anxiously. " She's awake , can't you see... " Logic wasn't working because all of them were getting paranoid. After what seemed like some intense seconds, Mira gulped down air as if she was just back from underwater. She held tightly onto Braze and caught up on her
" No contamination found... I repeat...No contamination found...the chopper is good to land. "The Watcher, completely suited in his safety gear, yelled in his receiver after thoroughly running his scanner around Rozelle and George . The rescue team had arrived. " Why didn't Robert come? Was my message not clear? I mean...he is better gifted... " Rozelle asked as the chopper swirled away towards the Watchers' Tower. " He isn't responding to any of our messages... he applied for leave not sighting the number of days or any reason... We have been repeatedly cut off whenever we tried to wire him in. "The Watcher informed. Rozelle spent the rest of the journey in silence and with a frown on her face. She marched straight inside and after reporting their initial status, went to look into Robert's profile. She got hold of his Watcher transmitter. Luckily, it was still active. Rozelle immediately sat down to dial his number. But there was no answer from the other end.Rozelle heaved a
" Mira wait... Mira wait up... " Kian ran after her as she stormed her way out of Yvonne's place. " Leave me alone... I don't feel alright. "Mira yelled. Her tears were big and they fell relentlessly. " Mira, I know how you are feeling... " That was a mistake. She suddenly stopped and turned around, colliding on Kian's chest. " You could never possibly understand how I am feeling Kian. " She poked at his heart. " I feel like dirt. People have been telling me how I was a big mistake that my mother made... I mistake that she was forced to love... My father.... oops sorry... they call him my birth giver... they call him Devil.... tells you what they think of me doesn't it? They don't say it because of my mother... but they say it with their eyes.... Do you think I am blind? I can see it Kian... I can see it alright. "Mira was panting so heavily, the air around her began to heat up. Kian noticed the moisture from the land around them evaporate. He knew he needed to act quick. Mira'
