“Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives, put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us”- Unknown
Neville knew the ride was going to be a long one, he had planned for them to take a brief tour around the city. He wanted to give Aurora a brief glance of the entire city since she loves it, before they set out to experiencing it’s lifestyle. Aurora being kept in the dark, pondered on what Neville had planned for the rest of their day. Not wanting to have an awkward ride because she was already feeling unease, she started a conversation.‘ What are the odds, that we would come out in similar wear’ Aurora said smiling.‘It just goes to show that we have similar fashion sense', he replied winking at her.‘ Hope I didn’t cause any form of uproar, cause I noticed your brother’s reaction when I walked in', he said.‘No you didn’t, we were already in a hot conversation before you came in’ she replied. Neville didn’t think that was just all, he had a feeling he was in that topic but he choose not to push the topic. This doubt didn’t pass Aurora but she didn’t want to push it either. ‘So where are we going to', she requested.‘Technically, we would end up in some places but for a first I am driving you around town, showing you key places’, he responded.Aurora was excited, though she was sure she had been to some of the places but she didn’t mind experiencing it anew. They took a road trip a bit out of town, towards the hills which was hovering around the city. Aurora had always wanted a sight of the city from the top of the hills but she didn’t want to go alone, and sharing this experience with Neville pleased her a lot. The highest of the hill had built up road that lead to the peak, it was an active spot as it was designed as a tourist view. It had a bar a restaurant, a bar, a lounge all built up on the trees, it was like a suspending structure, held up by mother nature, which she didn’t understand how it was possible. It was a magnificent view, the trees were filled with lighting and the environment popped out like it was from a magazine. They stepped into the trunk of tree, which carried them to their cottage on the tree, they had the one that was at top most part of the tree facing the entire city. The view was breathtaking, Aurora couldn’t hide her excitement.‘This is the most beautiful sight I have seen in a long while’, she said joyfully.‘’I couldn’t agree more, it is the most magnificent sight I have seen’, he responded, staring at Aurora all through his statement… He couldn’t deny under the lighting Aurora glowed like a cleaned gem, the charm was emanating through her smile. She could sense that Neville was not referring to the view, so she turned her head to realize he was starring at her all along. She was speechless as she didn’t know what responds was befitting, but it was at that moment she decided to give whatever it was they felt for each other a chance. She knew she had a lot to know about him, she doesn’t just go all in blindly, she wanted to be sure he was worth it. She smiled at him, and then said;‘tell me about yourself'That thought Neville unawares, as he was expecting her to be this direct. But he was happy, she was making that bold step, as he knew those are steps to take when getting to know someone better.‘Well, I am an orphan from the lowest part of the city, that has nothing much to say about life than all it’s bitterness it’s got to ‘ he responded.Aurora felt pain in his statement and she could imagine how hard it was for him to say it. That got Aurora, he saw the need to say something to her, even though he could have ignored her. It should that he was ready to let Aurora in, but she didn’t want the pain to spoil the mood.‘I can sense that’s not a topic you enjoy talking about, I wouldn’t mind letting it go till you comfortable enough to let me in’, she said.‘We could talk about things you enjoy doing, so we can get to understand ourselves better', she added.That was a great relief to Neville and she sensed that, she didn’t want to bring back past memories, she wanted to enjoy every bit of the moment because it wouldn’t be there forever. They got talking and she realized they had a lot in common, he loves reading as she does, quite ambitious, loves his space and wishes to achieve as much as he could from life. He was purpose driven and knew exactly what he wanted from life, which she is certain is what got him this far. He had great sense of humor and wasn’t as uptight as he made everyone think. She felt his past shaped the kind of man he was, probably that’s why he is always wants to be in charge of any situation, always assertive and never giving people a chance, she the universe failed him, cheating him out of an home and family. She sensed all his form of brokenness and damage he hid but she didn’t mean mending them one scare at a time. They had drinks and food at the top view, they chatted till the sunset after which he ushered her out for the next adventure. This was Aurora definition of a first date, in as much as she loves adventures, it was a means for them to bound deeply. There some cable connections at the side of the hills, it went all the way gown across the lower hills, it passed some part of the city. Though she had come across it but wasn’t curious about it. Seeing she had the ability to transport herself in a second, she took a liking to the ground in this universe. Apparently, it was a means of transportation, and it was linked at strategic spot in the city to aid movement. It was mostly used by couples and lovers for some romantic date; which made Neville thought it was the best means to reach the city fair. ‘ What about your ride? How do you intend on getting it?’, she asked. She knew going down without the car could lead to it sleeping at the park up the hill, which isn’t the best idea.‘once we done down below, we could still come up here to view the city and night’, he responded.She liked the idea and went on with the plan. Moreover, he planned the date, he definitely knew what he wants. Neville stretched forth his hand to lead Aurora into the cart, she took his hands and entered the cart. The cart was designed for only two people per cart, which gave couples their privacy. Settling in, Aurora realized she hadn’t let go of Neville’s hand and he wasn’t letting go either, instead he interlocked their fingers while he used his thumb to caress her hand. His actions sent sensual waves down her spine but she kept cool and absorbed herself to to the moment. She was literally in her best moment, a great view of a city she loves with a man she was attracted to, sending her signals down her spine, she didn’t wish to let go of this moment but she knew all she could do was enjoy the moment.Neville was enjoying every moment as much as Aurora was, he didn’t want the evening to end so quickly and so the reason he planned for an after adventure. He didn’t just want them to head down to the fair, he wanted to create more moments with her, and in a way, he possessed a strong urge to just be around her; to feel the warmth of her company, to watch her smile, which shines like the star in the sky, which makes him feel uplifted each time he gets a glimpse of it. The cable ride moved once they were relaxed, it travelled west of the hill, which wasn’t towards the fun fare. Aurora noticed this, and was not certain what was happening, in her inquisitive nature she had to confirm what was happening.‘I thought we taking the cable that will lead East-part of the hills”, she said‘Yes, we supposed to. But I have got something else planned”, he responded. The cable ride travelled down west of the hill, it went over lower hills, across valleys with thick woods below them. The wood ha
The city was now so close, as the lights were illuminating right in their faces. At that point, they both wished they had worn some shades to protect their eyes from the glaring lights. Nevertheless, the view was A-MA-ZING, the whole city lit up below their feet, it seems like the stars were now beneath them as well as above them. They could hear the busyness of the city but was far away from it, which was certainly a great place to be. Everyone was scattered like ants, trying to fulfill their role of creating a great community, all part of a bigger picture. She hoped sometimes they do come up here, taking a break from all of it to see what they are part of; this could help them get a sense of belonging. This gave her another great but obviously she needed to pass through Neville, since it’s his firm.“Neville”, she called out to him“Yes”, he responded“What do you think about this view”, she askedJust like her, he saw it as a bigger picture of everyone trying to play their little r
Love, as we all know can be likened as a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Like they say, there is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moments. The cart was approaching the fun fair but none of them realized it as they were both caught up in their feelings, deep in their thoughts, no one saying a word, one could possible hear the chipping of the birds as far away as within the woods. Their souls understood this moment, as they sat quietly and enjoyed each other’s company.The area designated for the fair was a large ground, situated at the outskirt. It could be seen at the east downside of the lounge at the hill, this was an area where carnivals and large events takes place, to accommodate a vast number of the community. Loud music and screams could be heard from the cable way above it. This loud entertainment cut Aurora’s attention, though it was still far away, the experience could be
‘I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful. An endless prospect of magic and wonder’ –Ansel Adams‘I can’t seem to have enough of this sight’, Aurora said. She was at her favorite spot in the whole of Bellona kingdom, at Biase Mountain, the highest point in the kingdom. Of all the magical sights within her universe, this struck her the most. The view was a magnetosphere decorating the sky with a blend of graceful colors, a glorious ray of interwoven colors of different shades stitched into the sky. From whence, her name ‘Aurora’ was coined, as the spot was known as Aurora Biase. She always wondered if her keen admiration of the view was as a result of their shared name. The magnificent display of dynamic patterns of brilliant lights , which appeared as a curtain in the southern realm, as spirals in the Northern realm, as rays and flickers of varying colors in the Western and Eastern realms of the Kingdom which lit up the s
“Her beauty was a divine delicacy that I could only hold within my dreams. I tested my dream of her beauty, and I whispered her grace to the angels. The sounds of heaven replied to me, telling me that her beauty transcended not only in my dreams, but even heaven” – Lionel Suggs.Aurora’s alarm was set for early dusk of the morning.

Olamide Obong sent an internal message to all his children: Kingsley, Ini, Ismael, Aurora and Eya through his bloodline. The bloodline possesses gifts varying across its generation. Amidst Olamide’s children, Aurora possessed the most, across several generation. She possessed the gift of teleportation and the ability to read emotions even when disguised, which came as a result of her mother being of royal blood.

“Be brave enough to live the life of your dreams according to your vision and purpose instead of the expectations and opinions of other” – Roy. T. BennettAurora spent most of her time in her father’s library, reading, studying and learning new stuffs about the universe, the guardian, the royal line and the founding fathers’. These books and script could only be found in two places ; the king’s personal library and the her father’s personal library, which is strictly out of bound and only open to the chosen beings, having the ability to teleport herself, aurora was able to gain access into them as no one dares enter the libraries to avoid the death penalty. In the course of her research, aurora realized that the king was expected to constantly visit all other universe to be able to bring law and order across the universe without giving away the ancient secret. She realized that, not just the King but the guardian as well, needed t
“Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other” – Paulo CoelhoThe sun was setting as Aurora was lying at the park staring at the sky. She appreciated Hebe for their ability to see the wonders in nature by developing several park, this sold out to her sky gazing personality. The memories of her first meeting with this universe were still fresh in her head, the tall trees stretched out across the vast land, the happy birds chipping, and the broad blue skies above the trees, stretched out in a private magical forest that was owned by the royal family. Across the five parallel universes, the land in which the ends of the portal from the Bellona universe were found, was automatically owned by the royal family, by the structure of the foundering father’s to aid in curbing the possibility of the portals being found. Aurora was mesmerized by the vast land with the view of the deep blue ocean; she appreciated how
“Love doesn’t always come barreling down on you like a train engine. Sometimes it sneaks up on you like spring overtaking winter. The chill winds begin to warm and suddenly the trees have leaves and the flowers are blooming”- Ann H. Gabhart Everything seemed normal several days after the confrontation; Aurora was peacefully minding her business while exploring the city. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen around her and she enjoyed every moment of it. She thought about Neville, his employees and his business. She felt there were better ways to run his business, to command as much respect as he wants as well as providing a healthy environment for his employees to grow. ‘He is way too adamant to listen to anything outside his voice’, she said laughing, ‘why am I thinking of him?’ she said. ‘It’s not like, he could listen to some else’s point of view, and moreover he thinks I am too inexperience to offer h

“To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love is everything”- Unknown. The morning was shining as bright as it had always, if not brighter than normal. Aurora woke up to the reminiscing of the previous day, Neville’s touch on her skin, his blue hues eyes. His blissful kisses, the way her body responded to her, she noticed her body was arching to her thoughts of him. She hadn’t felt this way to any being before, and she wondered the magic his fingers could create. Her mind went to the different possible way he could make her feel, but she was yet to understand why she was drawn to him this bad. Not wanting to be in her thoughts, she got up to refresh for day.‘I so need this extra rest’, she said.‘Am so thankful Neville was thoughtful to give me a day off’, she added.She did some stretches to aid her in releasing some of her stiff joints, working had
"There's all kinds of reasons that you fall in love with one person rather than another: Timing is important. Proximity is important. Mystery is important." - Helen Fisher. The silence that comes with one’s deed cannot be told, it feels like grave yard but this was a pleasurable stillness as they both sat down in their space stealing short glances at themselves while they wait for closing hours. Aurora wondered what this means and the next move and she knew they had to talk about it, but he seemed so busy so she decided to keep it till the end of the day. Aurora got up not wanting to spend her whole time glancing at Neville; so she decided to go assist her friends. As she stood up to leave, Neville on the other hand didn’t want her to leave.‘Please don’t go’, he said.At that moment Aurora heart skipped a beat, the words hit her but she knew she wasn’t leaving him i
“When age chills the blood, when our pleasure are past for years fleet away with the wings of the dove the dearest remembrance will be the last. Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love” – Lord Bryon. The feeling that comes with desiring someone seems so hard to fathom, how can ones heart arch for another touch? It feels like the souls have somewhat been intertwined as one by the gods. The heavens bringing to bear our innermost desires, for our souls to finally acknowledge it, thereby causing a longing in our heart for the other soul. It becomes our meaning of existence, a meal for our souls to feast on, and an adrenaline rush for our hearts. The arch in her heart to draw closer to Neville was what she couldn’t understand, it was a reflect action, showing her hidden desires. As his lips touched hers, her eyes clenched savoring his taste, but her mouth naturally parted to his coaxing. Aurora couldn’t express herself, she didn
“Courage is a love affair with the unknown” - OshoThe days flew by as fast as a waterfall, rushing with Aurora ensuring her strategies were put through to the letter, she knew she had to finish up as fast as she could because Kinsley, her brother informed her the previous night of their plan to move on to the next universe. She really didn’t want to leave Hebe universe, she had made friends and created a bound with Neville, who she hadn’t spoken with since she resumed work. That was one thing she knew she had to talk about before leaving, no matter how much she tries to avoid it, but instead, she choose to concentrate and pour all her focus into her task first. Aurora created a sub-team that would be able to control the implementation of her policies, and reported to her daily, aiding her to ensure thorough navigation within the entire chain of businesses. This created a lot of free time from her end, which she loved spending with Sydney and dell
“Every new friend is a new adventure… the start of more memories”- Patrick Lindsay. ‘First day wasn’t so bad’, Aurora said.Though she knew was still upset with him, he didn’t seem to give a penny about her. Aurora thought why he started acting up, she was certain she didn’t say anything wrong and she knew for a fact he was okay with the new set-up, unless he wouldn’t have shared the same space with her.‘Is there any other snacks you would like’, the waitress said bringing her out of her thoughts.‘No thanks, I am fine with this’, she said pointing to the snacks on her table. Aurora after closing went over the lower floor to grab some evening snacks with the manager and waitress. She truly needed someone to talk to, one who will aid her in getting out of this mood she found herself in. Watching the waitress made her realize that she had no
