After that searing pain, there was a calmness that Elena felt for the first time. The others were still astonished and clueless on the past events. Where they were was an absolute mystery in itself. There was no human being on sight but a population had inhabited this place for some time before. Skeletons, human skeletons, found lying next to the room they were locked in. A torch was burning at the very center of the hall and next to it was a chair deserving of a Royalty. Somehow, she felt that it was hers and it was calling her. Memories? Were those some part of her? In the past life? Magicians did not believe in reincarnation but Travelers know that spirits do travel. It might be here in a minute and then gone many years ago. What differed were the bodies these spirits entered into. That was why no one could remember. The human brain only remembered those it remembered. What the spirit knew were the hunches. It was like pinching her on the gut

He was old and he's tired. He did not know where to go except search that Paradise. Los Barrios would not be home to him again - maybe, until this time, or maybe this time would be his last. He had followed Albert with the throng of these lost people from the crash. The Siren was leading them and Albert knew that the child he was carrying wasn't a child but an immortal who had role in this coming war. Miranda had been at last the Constant of the Night Children and Albert had no need to worry about that. What Albert lost did not equal to the glory that was waiting him. Home. Rudolf did not need to shapeshift. He was an Arium and what he only needed was his magic to hide his face. He didn't need to hide his face from the people too. He knew they didn't need him to be real. They were as hopeless as he was. He hid only his face from Albert. Albert was an immortal who did not have any idea about the timelines which didn't become

Repetition made some things bearable. She thought she knew it all. In theory, she did and it was harder to make it worked than theorizing it.She kept on telling herself that she was good at it - even better than the other realities she participated. She remembered all the faulty efforts of the Phoenix on healing time. She never forgotten it, but what she's afraid was knowing that she never learned something from it. Didn't she learn something? She knew she had learned something but somehow, it seemed that it was not good enough anymore. She's facing reality. And, it was harder than she thought it would be. Being her as a Constant was just new to her. It was when the time turned and everything was new. She had to make a decision now. The Night Children was hopeless and they needed a leader - not just like Albert. They needed someone who was better than Albert. He was too sentimental and even  the smallest change of habit was a di

She struggled to see that the world she went in was too beautiful to be so confusing. She heard music - beautiful as it was but it held a language she could not understand - like listening to a good tune but on a different language. She could not describe it. It was perfect. It was a Paradise but it made no sense. She realized there was no light of day there and there was no night. She was enclosed on a planet of pure magic. She could feel it vibrating on her skin and seemed to be her blood telling her that she knew this place very much. She faced the woman who bore the same face as hers. The only difference they had was the manner of their dressing. She was a Magician from Los Barrios. The Palace housed the twelve tribes from the lines of angels who went to Highlands to reproduce. A very long time ago, deities could come and go to Highlands and enjoy the pleasures of men. Angels were sent as messengers and since they spoke a diffe

The lights were blinding but it did not bother her to know what an imposter Elena was. She manipulated her to come over here and in her agenda, it included meeting the Phoenix. Somewhere here, the Phoenix was roaming and as a Seer, she could feel her essence vibrating over the place. Elena was with the Phoenix! What a great transgression was it to be linked with the cause of everything! The illness that scattered over the land knew no limits and it hurt her to think that the person she trusted most, especially now, hid her face on so many faces. Faceless. Elena was an imposter! The person who brought her here was nowhere to be found since she never was with her. She's just a channel and Elena needed it most so she could reach the place. Joy was just a necessity and Elena thought nothing of sending her back to earth. It was a mistake following her. She's just too persuasive and she's
