“Answer, where did the king disappear to? His cowardice is not foreign to me” a man wearing a green robe spoke venomly eying me up and down.
“I demand his presence. His oddity is farfetched, it is rather childish of a man his standards. I am more like his king when I am here and he is not even here. Such a disgrace”
He stood angrily like he was waiting for us to action. Realizing we were unmoving, he yelled in a harsh powerful voice as he reached Philemon’s neck with his right hand. He lifted him up, dangling him like an empty sack.
“I gave you an order…” he did not finish his sentence as he tossed Philemon at the far end of the kings meeting chamber, clearly showing his wrath making all of us squirm in fear.
“My Lord, he has travelled to find Luca for himself” one of the men sent by the Lordships blurted out shockingly.
‘The king knew about this and he did not alert us. Why would he hav

No one’s P.O.V: eON years ago The city of Gods had been peaceful for millennia. Their life was filled with gold, literal gold. All the lands of the city were made with gold and greenery. It was a place of paradise where people, well gods and their keens with the city’s people could live in harmony. All was beautiful and quite.The king had ruled for centuries, it was time he stepped down. He was descending to the afterlife to the other kings. It was believed that when the king descended he went to join the other kings in the other world, a world where their creator existed and lived amongst them in harmony. Everyone in the city was said to descend to the gods when they died, no matter how small they lived in the city, in the afterlife they would become equals. All kings in the city lived in harmony. Their father Gothroan had three sons, and eight daughters. It was said he was privileged with children. The three sons loved each other, they

“Esmeralda, grace us with your truth, what did our brother here, the king to be, do to you last fall. Speak with truth, you are in front of the high king after all” Nicolus stated venomously, quoting the king tittle sarcastically making the king turn to him in utter shock. “He....he laid with me, but did not force himself on me….and you….” “See father, I told you long before, that he was not worthy of your status” “Be still Nicolas. Son, tell me this news is not factual!” the high king stood up and approached Marcus and cupped his face with sadness awaiting his reply. “Father, I will not lie to you…..this is the lady my heart…..” “You see father, so unworthy, he lays with servants, a king to be. Guards tell the people of Nubi we are to begin our coronation, but there may be changes” “My son, Nicolas you are too hasty to make decisions, which is why your brother is to be king……Marcus my son…..” ‘Bang……..thud’ The high ki

Maya’s P.O.V The anticipation was killing me. The suspense. ‘Could all be real? Could they be separating?...but why would my mother bring a stranger to our home? No matter how much she wanted to move on, or hate my father, she would never allow such a situation. She’d rather just sneak around. What if he is here as a distraction?’ “Ahem!” Sebastian woke me from my train of thought. “So, you are saying my father is what dead, and my mother lives with a man I know nothing off, sharing the same bedroom. So you are telling me that they are sharing my father’s bed, in my father’s chambers? You are really not taking this situation, me seriously!” I was beginning to fume. My anger was on the highest scale known to mankind although, I could tell it didn’t phase Sebastian. He was busy fidgeting with his fingers. He looked really worried and serious. I turned around frustrated and turned back looking at him, studying him. He just shook his head side to side with a discontent face. “Agh! S

Melisa’s P.O.V“I'm worried. Who was that girl in our son’s room?”“Michael I'm talking to you” I repeated, he seemed to be lost.“I don't know” He shrugged his shoulders going to our son’s dresser.“Maybe we can find something that can tell us who she really is, and how she knows our son” He continued rummaging through his drawers.“Enough!....” it was too overwhelming.“I can't take this anymore”“I don't know what's going on too” Michael exclaimed embracing me.“Why do I feel so empty inside?” A question I didn't see coming pondered my mind making me jittery.We had been sitting on the sofa for what felt like forever. I looked at Michael, he wasn't the best husband, but he was there for me. I shook my head and stood up, and left for my room. I didn't know why but I felt really

THE NEXT DAY The next day felt different. Hopeful, so to say. We had been sitting in the lunch tables for what felt like forever. My eyes were scanning each and every one, taking in information. I was a good listener, just a weird one. No one noticed, but I could focus on so many things at a time. I was deep into multitasking. “Yo, you good, you look dead tired, like you haven't slept for days?” Suddenly I was taken by that simple act. It seemed she noticed how I would zone off from time to time. ‘Why is she nice to me?’ “Dude, you are my friend now, for better or worse” she shocked me more, like she read my mind. ‘She looks genuine enough to trust her...’ TWO YEARS LATER “Hey…..you know you do that a lot” “What?” I acted oblivious. Cie just shrugged her shoulders and started walking. It had been two years since I’ve known her, and she still asks what’s bothering me, every time I go silent. ‘I think it’s about time I tell her everything’ ‘Are you sure?’ my conscious barge

Max's P.O.V ‘You ever wonder why you, because I do!’ I huffed. ‘I am sitting here, wondering where to next. I mean, Cie practically threw me out of the window. Maybe it was her father, he got the best of her, as usual, but eventually she will show up, I'm sure’ I was still worried though. ‘I need to stay out of sight for now. I mean, those men, they can find me anytime. I need to find a place to lay low, until Cie comes looking for me, or maybe I’m just lying to myself, and she won’t come’ I strolled to the next big tree I saw, to lean on it. ‘...but, I have to come back here, to make sure she doesn't miss me’ I turned and looked at Cie's bedroom window. She wasn't there, I could tell. I waited for a minute, just hoping I to see her pop up at the window, but she never did. ‘Mmhh...I need to leave a message for her then. She’s probably just busy’ I crouched down and took a stone that was small, and turned to a log that looked like it had been there for decades and wrote on it

Max's P.OV‘In my mind, it feels I'm constantly running. Like today. It never stops. I know it seems meaningless to wonder now, but I’m sure things could have been different if he was around. I forgave a long time ago. I didn’t want to hold on to hate, that might end up poisoning me. The way my mother treats me, how my father left, the residue left by their treatments, they were my scar, and reminder of how lonely my life is’‘Wonder how my mother is right now! Why do I bother anyway? She denied me as her daughter the last time we saw each other, but where will I go? I don't know who to turn to. Well, I know there is God, but didn't he give us people and family as companions?’ I shook my head realizing I have never felt anything but responsible.‘…so why do I feel that they are rather my responsibility than companions?’‘Ohh, how it hurts when someone doesn't see nor act oblivio

Maya's P.O.V “So tell me, what I am missing Sebastian? What is it that I don't understand about you showing up, here?” He looked troubled and in deep thought. “Are you sure you want to hear this?” He asked giving me a wired look. “Look, you are wasting my time. I'm sure you think telling me a story will make me want to go back home, but I'm sorry to say I'll disappoint you on that one” “I know why you left, and I understand why you don't want to go back there but....” “Sebastian, just cut to the chase, Ok! I don't want my life's history, all I want to know is why you are here, if not for us” His demeanor was confusing, and I wasn't ready to invade his mind yet. “Alright! “Thank you” I sat down next to him. “I'm all ears!” I motioned he went on with the story. “First of, I must warn you. This is a fable, but I feel it might to be true” I laughed at his seriousness. He seemed surreal about

Maya's P.O.V “Hey stop!” Sebastian shouted at Max.She had just jumped out of the car and rand like a shooting bullet.“Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian drive!” I roared, they were catching up on us.I saw Naya waving at me with a wicked smile.“We are dead!” Sebastian was trying to lose them.“I said drive faster!” He was taken back like I was.“What about Max?”“We'll catch her later, now drive faster” I shook the steering wheel like the car was going to move any faster.Panicked, the tires screeched as we drove off faster.As we drove, we were silent. I was thinking of the next move, and Sebastian was hyperventilating.“Quit it!” I was angry.‘He got me into this hot mess’“Sorry!” He mumbledHe was making me sick in my stomach.I hadn't taken bloo

PRESENT DAY ‘Fuck this’ I got out of the car, and I ran as fast as my feet could take me.Maya's P.O.V‘Why am I suddenly interested in a girl, and that kind of a girl?’The feeling of anxiety was creeping on me, I felt myself getting weak on the knees.‘Well she doesn't look like a girl, but still, she is a girl. I need to see this girl clearly. I need to get closer’ my thoughts were raging as I made my way out of the car.She was running away.“Maya!....” I could hear Sebastian calling. It was faint, but I was too troubled to entertain him.‘Isn't that her brother coming back with a male figure? I guess that's not their father, and she probably has trust issues with the police, but why did she allow the brother to drive there from the start? Uh, why am I cracking my head over this girl’ I scratched my head as I felt a small head

Panic hit me.“I don't know them” I answered, ignoring the sting on my left cheek.“You are lying to us” the male officer holding my hands slapped me really hard. I felt that one, it was all up in my face. I ignored the pain again.I realized that I was in their world. I had to play their game, or I would find myself in a dire pickle.“I'm serious, I don't know them. Where is Sydney?What did you do to him? I want to see him. He will assure you I don't know anything” I assured looking at them one by one.I don't know why, but it was like i was watching a movie of myself. I couldn't feel anything at that moment, but anger.I felt a hard slap again on my other cheek, and another and another. It started to sting some more, but I was numb inside. I could tell they were not going to entertain my innocence. They just wanted the truth, their own way.“Where are the computers?” A male offic

FOUR HOURS AGO Maya's P.O.V “I couldn't get them.Damn kids of this days, they are so fast”Sebastian huffed facing down trying to catch his breath.“Getting old? I asked”It was funny to watch him struggle.“Definitely not!” He coughed for a moment.‘Well that was a bust’ I sighed.I mean, the whole reason we were there was for those two.And now that we don't have them on sight, I guess it was back to square one.“Did you see him?” Sebastian interrupted my train of thought.“Ummm...”I truly didn't see him.I was too busy gawking at the girl the boy was running with. She looked so familiar.So warm.“You weren't paying any attention were you?” Sebastian asked, but I was still zoning.‘Why did she look familiar?’&ld

No one's P.O.V “I. need. To…” Sam was trying to catch his breath.“Listen, I need see your boss” Sam tried getting attention from the lady in front of him, but it was no use. She was too engrossed to entertain him.“I’m sorry Sam, your father is busy right now. He's with someone important” The woman pointed at the door to the chief police’s office.“Listen Wonder....” Sam tried reasoning, but the woman in front of him wasn't having it. She was adamant on her responses.“Sam...” She huffed looking tired, realizing that Sam wasn’t going anywhere, nor was he promising not to bother her.“...you should take a seat” she finished, clearly not interested in what the young man had to say.Sam decided to obey and take the sit he was offered. Whilst sitting, he was busy fidgeting with his fingers, like he was about to break them. As he sat, his nerves got the best of him. He looked down, his right hand rubbing his palms. It seemed they were sweating, he was suddenly rubbing them on his trouser

Max's P.O.V We were rushing through the corridors. Sam had decide to follow me, for some reasons I didn't know about.The moment he saw me leaving he followed.“Why are you following me? Damn!”I was agitated by his presence. I didn't know him that well. I had so much to deal with, than to deal with him too.For all I know he could be with them.“Ding!” The elevator opened.“Wha…”Maya's P.O.VThe elevator doors opened revealing a unique face.A face that intrigued me more.“There...”Sebastian took off running chasing after them. I just stood there dumb folded. It was like I couldn't move.My whole body felt heavy and warm.Max's P.O.V‘It's them. Wait, Miss Johnson!’“Run!” I turned to Sam to give him a heads up.

Maya's P.O.V “Ummm, where are we going now?” Sebastian kept glancing outside the window as we passed the streets. It seemed he wasn't sure about the destination either.“There are some flats they said I will encounter up the heel” he confirmed my thought dismissively. “Who said?” I was still pressing matters. He was glaring ahead not giving me a second chance, not even a glance.“I think this is it” he motioned as he packed his car.“Shall we?” He asked as he tilted his head outside to look at the building.Yeah! And I didn’t forget that he ignored my question, I just chose to let him be. I wanted to see if his story was going to pen out.“Yeah, I think this is the place” He locked his car after we got out, and tossed the keys to his jacket pocket.Suddenly I felt dizzy. It was like I was about to puke. I held my waist as my other hand leaned on his car. “My Q....Maya are you alright?” Sebastian questioned as he held my back rubbing it a bit. It wasn’t helping in any way, ins

Max's P.O.V My mind was fuzzy. I had been waiting for the elevator to open for minutes. ‘Why can't it open?’ I arrived at my destination, not sure how I got there though. “Oh, Max. Jeremy says hi...” “Johan, nice to see you, hey Jeremy” I waved “He doesn't get it does he?” Johan inquired looking at Jeremy, then back at me. “Nop!” I waved one last time, then shifted my gaze back to Johan “He too desperate. It's not cute” “I know! Can you occupy him while I try running away from his stare. You know if I don't leave he'll come here, and he will start talking nonstop, until...” “…until you reach your destination. I know. Anyways let me help you with the elevator” Johan took out his card and opened the elevator. Only to find a couple inside the elevator making out. “Mmhhhh!” Johan murmured. I just laughed and felt bad for them. ‘Johan can be crazy at times’ “You two out!” He pointed to the couple. “...you in!” He pointed at me. He was authoritative like that. Too nice

PRESENT DAYMaya's P.O.V“Sebastian, I was there remember? I wasn't even young to forget”he was dragging the whole story.“Yes, but you were never outside that day. You do not know what happened next”“What do you mean?” he caught my attention.“When the Oracle got outside, you remember my great grandfather left to monitor the dining?” Sebastian inquired creasing his eyes together.“Yes, father asked that he foresee if food was prepared” he was consistent with dragging me along with him. It was taking forever.“Indeed, but surprisingly when he got to the feast he found out that the oracle had told some of the people of Redland the same story”“What story? This is dreading Seb...”“Patience!” He hushed me.“The story was about a child who would be born touched by God. T
