Kiara had so much more to tell Mira. There was so much they needed to catch up with but their sweet little reunion was cut short by a terrified howling wolf. " That's Braze! " Mira immediately sprang to action, looking at Kian. But as soon as they turned to chase the howling , those creatures whom Kiara mentioned as Dark Mages,reappeared, attacking them from all directions. " Kids, move. I will distract them. " Mira, Kian and Xen(who was slowly getting back to normal) , watched in amazement, surprise, shock and wonder as Kiara spread her raven black wings, ascending above them like the archangel. The matted discolouration of the feathers were screaming testaments of her ailing powers. But the kids had no clue. They were just watching a live supernatural elegance in action. " You mother has wings? "It wasn't a question, more like a statement that Kian made.They scurried their way inside one of the hollows but Mira paused to take another glance at her mother who stood like their p

Kian's phone started annoyingly ringing again right after the air hostess asked everyone to switch their phones off. Kian switched it off and shoved it back in his pocket. " Who is it? Your grandfather? ” Xen asked. His grandfather had every right to be worried. He had just purchased four first class tickets to the end of the world, literally to the deserts,after mysteriously vanishing from school. He wasn't even available to pick up his calls or text him back. It had been Mira's call and the boys followed her without any question. The address on the post card was a North African state. But it looked shady. Nevertheless, they decided to investigate. Mira and Braze were two seats behind Kian and Xen, eyes closed, sitting with an awkward silence. They had barely flown for half an hour when suddenly there were some jolts, as of the aircraft was facing some disturbances. Braze moved the blinds and looked out of the window. The weather looked absolutely fine. He looked around to

Mira fell on the chair and was about to throw hands," Who are you? Where are we? "She looked around Yvonne's tiny enclosure. " You are safe. Your friends will be joining you soon. I am Yvonne. I believe, you came looking for me. "Mira sat up. Could it be the Guardian they were so desperately searching for, was actually standing in front of her. But why did he take her away from the battlefield and run away? Were they not equipped enough to ward off those things? Yvonne thrust a bottle towards Mira and ordered, "Drink. You need it. "Mira had not noticed but she had been staring at Yvonne's jugular vein. One sip from the bottle and her thirst disappeared. She bowed at him with gratitude and then went straight to the point. " Since you know me, you might also know why I am here. "Yvonne nodded. " Do you know my mother, by any chance? I mean she was the one who asked us to find a Guardian... what's a Guardian? Where are you from? Are you from earth or somewhere else? " She asked

" Where are those kids Master Yvonne? Are they gone for good? " It was clear Martha did not like the four of them , in fact she saw them as competition for her master's attention. She took unnatural pride in her service. Yvonne smiled at her. " They are where they need to be. The sooner they figure out their purpose on this planet, the closer they will be towards their destiny... " He murmured settling down on his chair, putting on his glasses and scribbling something on his desk. " I feel sorry for the girl. She has so much on her shoulder at such a tender age... She doesn't even know, it all started with her... "Yvonne leaned back after putting his pen down. His hands folded behind his back. " Why did you have to choose him, Kiara... Don't tell me, you don't feel responsible for Mira's fate." He sighed heavily and turned around. " The poor girl has no clue. I am sorry Kiara. She is still looking for herself. I could not bring myself to tell her the truth about her father. I co

" Mira, are you alright? "Braze had been staring at Mira, frozen but with his full attention, in case she reacted adversely to the medication. So far, she just stared back at him without blinking for a couple of minutes straight. Finally, she let out some consecutive hiccups, followed by a giddy smile.Braze quickly reacted as she tried to suddenly get up. She was about to fall face down but he supported her with his back. " You gained a lot of weight Braze... he... he! " she slapped his butt and poked him from either sides at his waist, tickling him. " You became so chubby. I don't remember you being so fat. What have you been eating boy? " She laughed aloud at her own joke, leaving Braze flustered. Mira sprang forward like a leopard. She was gone in the blink of an eye. " Mira! " Braze yelled and tried following after her, but even with his animal instincts , it was hard catching up with her." Mira! Mira where are you? Mira come back... You don't seem alright... Mira can you he
