Around the Stars Chapter 9 - Cid Turns Into A Giant Eagle
Morning in the Land of Devoid is extremely quiet. I can’t hear anything, like no creatures live in this forest. I see all trees and sky in different color, sunlight gives them life. Think layers of fog surround us. Despite how mysterious and dangerous this forest is, it just looks like any ordinary forest in the dawn.I am carried by Leon on his back. Ceasar is at the front rapidly clearing out the road. Cid is behind us, using his extraordinary sense to monitor around. From afar, I sometimes can see Jason, Legolas and Finn appear behind tree leaves. They really are like shadows, fast and light as a feather.No one speaks, we are focused on the road.We are on our way moving fast to the second base that is at least 100 kilometres away. We need to get in contact with the group lead there.After I was awakened by Leon this morning, he told me that Cid got a message from Colonel Edward using a confidential signal stating that by the time when Cid receives this message, he has been assa
Around the Stars Chapter 10 - Flying with Cid in the Air
That’s why they are not human!I can’t believe what I just witnessed. Cid is actually an eagle that can turn into human, or human that can turn into eagle, doesn’t really matter.Strangely, I can’t really say that I’m scared after all things happened. I am more excited than finding it creepy.I guess it is because the Eagle form of Cid is so beautiful; when he stretches his wings, they easily block the whole sun.I once saw an American Eagle in the zoo, but it is nothing compares with Cid.Cid is like the guardian legendary giant eagle in many myths. I am totally speechless.“What are you waiting for?” the Eagle speaks to me, “If you are too slow, I won’t wait for you.”I clearly wasn’t trained on proper ways of getting on an eagle’s back, but thanks to Leon who holds my upper thigh (how embarrassing) to give me constant support while I am climbing, so I could struggle less.Cid’s feather is so soft. At one second, I want to rub my face into it, but I refuse to let it happen.So, here
Around the Stars Chapter 1 - Who is Calling?
I swears to God that I must have slept for over 100 years. This is the only reason I could think of that explains why my whole body is stiff and my bones are cracking.This is all Jenn’s fault… If it wasn’t Jenn, I would never try that bottle of liqueur she stole from her dad. I wasn’t really interested in putting some random liqueur collected from God knows when into my mouth, but Jenn convinced me; it truly was my convocation yesterday.I was probably knocked out right away after that first sip. I shake my head trying to stay awake. Without opening my eyes, I realize my room smells different now. Did mom buy a new set of fragrance candles? It smells nice, like I’m surrounded by fresh trees. Out of no where, I feel a tiny raindrop fell right on the tip of my nose. The coldness gives me great chill. It must be my little brother’s prank. His name is Jack, and he has always been into pranks.“When are you going to be mature, Jack?” I finally sit up and tear my eye lids open.I almost b
Around the Stars Chapter 2 - A Mysterious Man
This is strange. I am speechless, I never had this feeling before. I am drowning in his eyes finding my breath taken away - not only because his eyes are beautiful, but also because I think they are familiar. Maybe they are right that all encounters are reunions after a long separation.I probably look so stupid, lost and dirty. The man narrows his eyes at me.“Still keeping your camouflage on?” He put his sword back, “Why didn’t you take the action? You had it at perfect timing.”The dead giant python’s head lies on the ground behind him. Thick blood keeps running into the ground. He looks ruthless.“It’s only a 3-point monster, should be a small piece of cake for all of us.” Suddenly, a small transparent screen showed up near his chest. He is scanning at the screen. I can’t see what is written on it clearly, but I really am having a hard time comprehending everything.Does this technology exist?I wants to talk but I have so many questions in my chest that I don’t even know where
Around the Stars Chapter 3 - Land of 'Devoid of Light'
The man looks back at me questioning if I was seriously wanting to stay back alone. “Don’t get me wrong, I will come with you as that might be the only way I could get answers for these all.”I explain to him, “I know I’m not guilty, and I hope this civilization that you are from that owns a giant part of a galaxy is kind, reasonable and well-managed enough to listen to my story and help me find my family.”The man surprisingly smiles, it was ephemeral, disappearing as soon as it appears.“The Imperial Army of Xerecadent Empire is dedicated to serve the public wholeheartedly.” He even does a small casual salute, “when all doubts are cleared, we will assist in any possible way to help your family reunion.”“…then I shall give my trust.” I clear my throat and ask him to carry me on his back. It really hurts when he holds me by waist. I swear that the man’s eye colour changed right after I asked him to carry me on his back.Oh damn, did I really make a big request? Under his cold eyes
Around the Stars Chapter 4 - Are They All not Human?
Apparently, the one approaching knows Leon. They seem to know each other, as Leon doesn’t even move.In the pure darkness, I can’t help to feel isolated. I am the only one in this world that don’t know anybody in here. I guess that is one of the reasons why I am holding Leon so tight.“It’s not like you.” The unfamiliar man continues approaching, “Shouldn’t you already be back before sunset and watch us crying on our way back?”Leon watching other cadets crying on their way back? From his words, Leon seems to be a top cadet in their group.“Says who? At least I’m not the one who laughed at others then got beaten badly.” Leon fights back in his words, secretly laughing at him, “How’s your wound? It shouldn’t be healed this quick.”Well, this is what you call true friendship. I hide behind Leon, quietly listens.That person clearly is unhappy now, he tells Leon to shut up and he is tired of Leon’s impassivity. While talking, he immediately figures that Leon is hiding things on his back.
Around the Stars Chapter 5 - Why is the Female Treated Differently
Leon said Ceasar’s speed is gifted by his species, but Leon himself doesn’t seem to be any slower than Ceasar.Very soon, I see lights one after the other brightened up the forest. I can finally see my surrounding in here.We are now officially entered the military base.Under the lights, there are easily over 20 large tents randomly placed around the giant trees. I can tell that they were set up properly but not in any specific organized way, as if they only care if there is a shelter above them when they fall asleep at night.I would think that a military base is much neat, tidy and organized. But in here, it is definitely not the case.I almost feel bad to say this but this base looks like those parks that are filled with homeless people’s tents.But what else could I ask for? A luxury hotel with king beds, feather duvet and pillows, and hot showers?I am already thankful enough.“Hey Leon, you are finally back.” A young cadet with the same type of uniform approaches behind the tre

Under the light, the shade becomes a uniformed robust blond man.“Shut up Jason. Thanks to your slow ass, we could’ve completed our daily duty hours ago.” Another shade complains.In the light, that shade reveals to be a long-haired cadet with a pearl earring.How could it be allowed in a military training facility? I am shocked by their appearance“I was only chilling.” Jason disdains.Long-haired cadet clearly wants to punch his face, but another shade stops him.“Seriously, can we not have one second rest?” That shade signs. Finally, someone speaks what I want to say this whole time. The shade slowly turns to a comely boy who I doubt to be older than myself.But Jason is disgusted.“Look, Finn is on his cute and innocent tricks again.” Jason despises, “Honestly, who are you playing with? Thought we are knowing you for the first day?”“Wait! Oh my, what a cute lady you are hiding!” the long-haired cadet suddenly points at me.“Legolas, you are out of your mind.” Jason didn’t even fe
