Mira's POVDANG! My back was hurt bad, very bad! I stood up as I tried to rub it with my hands. I looked around. Those familiar mountains were at the back. A feeling of excited guilt chocked me from the inside. I was looking forward to what was coming next but was also a little ashamed of my action. Would uncle Kilian be mad? Nah! I really didn't care. I did not dare to take the leap today to worry about him. I was already doing that everyday. Today would be different. I kept walking. The ground under my feet actually felt nice. I took one leap after another. My body , that always used to feel so rusty, was beginning to feel lively and light. I laughed for the first time, or so long that I remembered. One leap after another and I was flying across the landscape. I lost track of time. There was endless land in front of me and limitless things to find. I ran and floated and jumped and fell. Soon the landscape changed and I was crossing undulated greenlands. My eyes
It was normal for Chemorians to attend summits where they discussed absolutely nothing significant. It was just a lavish party where the heads of each and every tribe would come to showcase their power. Xen had no interest whatsoever to attend. Xorons never frequented gatherings of those kinds but ever since the dynamic shift in Chemorian power, they made it a point to show up. " It's for our sake of our existence Xen. Do you want us to go extinct? That man yields the power of the Staff even though you have in inside your heart practically. Nothing will stop him from using it against us and obliterating all of us, unless we put up a strong face. We cannot show anyone that we are easy. "Xen paid no attention to the narration. The Heartstaff or its power made him hate himself. What was the meaning of everything that he went through, if in the end he could not protect the one for whom he fought with all that he had. He sat silently in the corner, sipping his wine. He sensed Kian w
Kilian's eyes met all six of their as he hung up. Then they turned towards each other, for the first time since that fateful day. Before they knew it, they were jumping over the seating arrangements and coming towards Kilian. Kilian had a look of suspicion and hostility in his eyes as he approached them. " Where is she? " All three of them froze in their tracks when Kilian asked that question. Kilian pounced on them and repeated what he was saying. " I am not playing around. You think you can outsmart me, huh? I will not hold back this time. "None of them fought back. Their expressions went from aggression, to shock to realisation. Their eyeballs revolved so fast in their sockets that it finally sunk in Kilian's mind that he had unintentionally given his own secret away. He immediately let them go. " I am sorry. I was just feeling triggered. Excuse me! "He turned around as Sitara pulled him in her arms and they hurriedly walked back to their ship. It was too much for the
" My Lord!My Lord! Dark... I mean Lord Calex, look what I brought! "Layla yelped from afar. Calex was relaxing inside his cave. His day was spent in hard labour and meticulous calculations. He rolled his eyes at Layla's yell. " That b*tch knows too well that she is not allowed to bring any visitors here! She might have a death wish! "He stood up before coming out of the cave and straining his eyes to look at her. With his powers gone, the only difference between him and an ordinary human was that, he could still breathe without an oxygen cylinder on Chemora. His eyes popped as Layla gradually came into view, dragging poor Mira by her waist. "Mira! "Calex gasped. Layla literally threw Mira at her father's feet as she went inside the cave. " Mira! Mira? Goodness gracious! How is she with you?"He asked as he held Mira by her shoulder and made her stand up. " You don't look surprised! " Layla yelled again from inside the cave. " Of course I am " Calex looked at Mira just as
The skies of Chemora soon started looking like a battle ground. There were spaceships and surveillance pods zip-zapping all over the surface, bearing flags and symbols of all the four major tribes. " How can she simply disappear without any trace from her room? This is impossible! "Kilian yelled as he banged the receiver for the fifth time on the ground. He had been calling the pilots after every half an hour with the same disappointing feedback. Sitara felt like she was back in her old days. She was running back and forth between stations looking at statistics and clues. She no longer was the delicate queen who got to enjoy the luxuries of life. " Damn that girl! " She cursed under her breath and then quickly looked around, just to make sure that nobody had heard. She knew she would become the prime suspect if her hatred for her became public knowledge. ***" Brother, you need to go slow. Crashing into the other ships will not make her appear out of nowhere. "Brian pleaded fr
"What is that planet? It's so blue!"Mira came forward towards the control panel and strained her eyes to look at the beautiful planet that rotated on its axis. " It's called the earth. You don't remember earth? " Layla asked as she chewed on a gum. " Not at all? "Mira looked at her with a blank expression. " What do you mean? This is my first time seeing it. Isn't it? " She didn't look very sure. " It is what you think it is. Don't worry too much about it. Brace your selves everyone. We are going to meet a new friend. He is waiting for us just outside the earth's atmosphere. " Calex took the controls in his hand as the rugged old spaceship took a turn. When they reached a spot, the spaceship hovered in space as Calex climed out of it and greeted a man. " It's been long. " Calex said. " Yes, indeed. " The man nodded. " What made you leave that message for me? " Calex asked, rather curious. " Just intuition, I guess! " The man shrugged as Calex hugged him and then brought him
Mira's POVI woke up in an empty room. I looked around to see where the rest of them went. Nobody was there but there was food on the table and a note. " Eat up if you are hungry.You can take a stroll around if you are bored. "So I ate and washed because I was obedient. It took me some time before I started to feel curious because staying in a room was not going to bore me that easily. I was too used to doing it everyday. I pulled up my hoodie, slipped on the shoe and walked out of that room into what looked like wonderland. It took me some time to get accustomed to walking on this new planet called earth. It was different from Chemora in more than one way. After walking for a few minutes, I came cross a very crowded place. There were people yelling at everyone who passed, apparently trying to give them something. Some had beautiful clothes, some had fruits and some that shoes and slippers. I failed to understand why the other people refused to take such wonderful gifts. M
Mira's POV" You need what? " My father looked very concerned and shocked when I said what I said. " I said I need money. At least tell me where to get it or how to get it. "Guardian Yvonne started to laugh from the back. " What's so funny? " I asked rather confused. " A man almost got me into trouble because I didn't have any money. Thank goodness, a girl named Stella dropped by. She said she knew me and she gave the man wha the wanted and then he let us both go. I don't want to be in that situation again. Stella wanted to take me to a hotel tomorrow. I need money. "Guardian Yvonne's smile suddenly vanished. He sat up on his chair and looked at me with frow between his eyebrows. " Who want you to take where? A hotel? Why? "" To meet someone I apparently know. I want to go. Please, father. " My father froze when I turned towards him. " You told me I had to pay a prize for my memories. I want them back, so bad. I remember want to remember what my life was back in this planet. I re
