" Uncle Kilian... " Mira inched in closer with a wide smile on her face as she dried her sweat with a towel.

The workout had been intense but they definitely enjoyed it a lot.

" Yes , Mira... " He smiled at her taking a sip of a cup of hot tea.

" Will you be visiting Guardian Yvonne ? " Mira asked settling down in the chair beside him.

" I might. Why do you ask? " Kilian looked nonchalant.

" Ummm, nothing as such. I thought you might want to meet mother. " She added.

" I bet I must... but it can wait. My time here is limited. I need to use it with you guys more than I need it with your mother. " He leaned forward. " I bet there might be questions that you need desperate answers to but you will not have any access to their answers except to through me, for the time being at least. "

He winked at Mira and leaned back.

She needed no more green signals.

" I have been meaning to ask you about my father. Guardian Yvonne always ignores the topic and mother hasn't been very useful...

    Mira was sweating again. Even the blanket felt too heavy. But she couldn't bring herself to move it from her body. She felt paralyzed. " Mira... What happened? Are your dreams getting worse? "Braze flipped the blanket away and scooped her up in his arm. He supported her head with one hand and held her waist with the other one. He gently shook her several times trying to wake her up. Mira woke up as if she was choking. Kian rushed in with a glass of water. " Mira... what's happening? " They looked genuinely worried as her face continued to turn red as if someone had cut off her air supply. Mira spit the water out as they tried to feed it to her. " She is out of breath. Should we make her lie down? CPR? " Xen asked anxiously. " She's awake , can't you see... " Logic wasn't working because all of them were getting paranoid. After what seemed like some intense seconds, Mira gulped down air as if she was just back from underwater. She held tightly onto Braze and caught up on her

    " No contamination found... I repeat...No contamination found...the chopper is good to land. "The Watcher, completely suited in his safety gear, yelled in his receiver after thoroughly running his scanner around Rozelle and George . The rescue team had arrived. " Why didn't Robert come? Was my message not clear? I mean...he is better gifted... " Rozelle asked as the chopper swirled away towards the Watchers' Tower. " He isn't responding to any of our messages... he applied for leave not sighting the number of days or any reason... We have been repeatedly cut off whenever we tried to wire him in. "The Watcher informed. Rozelle spent the rest of the journey in silence and with a frown on her face. She marched straight inside and after reporting their initial status, went to look into Robert's profile. She got hold of his Watcher transmitter. Luckily, it was still active. Rozelle immediately sat down to dial his number. But there was no answer from the other end.Rozelle heaved a

    " Mira wait... Mira wait up... " Kian ran after her as she stormed her way out of Yvonne's place. " Leave me alone... I don't feel alright. "Mira yelled. Her tears were big and they fell relentlessly. " Mira, I know how you are feeling... " That was a mistake. She suddenly stopped and turned around, colliding on Kian's chest. " You could never possibly understand how I am feeling Kian. " She poked at his heart. " I feel like dirt. People have been telling me how I was a big mistake that my mother made... I mistake that she was forced to love... My father.... oops sorry... they call him my birth giver... they call him Devil.... tells you what they think of me doesn't it? They don't say it because of my mother... but they say it with their eyes.... Do you think I am blind? I can see it Kian... I can see it alright. "Mira was panting so heavily, the air around her began to heat up. Kian noticed the moisture from the land around them evaporate. He knew he needed to act quick. Mira'

    At Rozelle and George's place -" I thought we were taking 'days off'! We just got back home... Why are we packing our bags again? Where do you plan to go? "George asked as Rozelle scurried through the secret vault in their basement. She understood that it would be difficult to get her desired kind of a response from the Elder Watchers. She had Robert's coordinates jotted down. He was the only one who would understand what she meant. " You have the details of those kids... don't you? "Rozelle turned around at George who was still comfortably tuckedon his recliner. " Kids? Oh, you mean 'those kids'... yeah... yeah... of course I do... " He was taking his sweet time getting up but Rozelle literally got up on him and demanded he sat up. " Good. I need to know everything about their private lives and their families. Hand me the papers. "She extended her hand. George gave her a high five and sat up, putting on an innocent smile. " Papers? Who uses papers anymore? I have it in the s

    " Kian... Do you hear me? I am scared. They have me tied up... My hands have bruises, my leg hurts...They won't let me go until you come here. "A very squishy voice came through the loudspeakers. Kian was up on his toe. The rest of them looked around but the other passengers or officials were unbothered. It seemed like they didn't hear that voice or they heard something else. " Good Lord! I swear that's Betty? What's happening? " He looked around at the others. Just then there was a shuffling sound. It seemed like a mic was passed around. The voice that spoke in it made Kian grab his hair and sit down on the airport floor. " Kian, I am so sorry my lad. Betty is just scared. Don't pay any attention to her... no matter what you do, don't come here. We will be fine... (smack)! " A loud punch disrupted Kian's grandfather's speech. The group hadn't recovered from the initial shock of it when another voice yelled in the microphone. "Braze, listen to the old man. Don't come here no m

    ***At some distance***" What? Is that Rozelle? Did I hear that right? "Robert turned around at Quill and asked him, amused and surprised at the same time. His brother had his hands and legs tied up as he lay in his back. Robert went around him in circles as they talked. It had been like that for days. That was how Robert forced-fed Quill to keep him alive. He was absolutely resilient. Robert had no choice but to act that way since his brother would not believe otherwise. In front of them was the body of Layla. Even though it had been days at a stretch, there was no decomposition or decay in it. But Quill was unable to see that in his madness. " How dare you do this to me Robert. I am your own flesh and blood. Was it not enough that you killed Layla for your stupid ego? You stoop so low as to disrespect the dead? Why would you not give her a proper burial? What do you want from me? You took her away from me forever. At least let me bid her a proper goodbye. "Quill had sobbed l

    At the Mafia's den -Xen eyed the helicopter stationed at the helipad through the tiny holes in the worn out warehouse. His old boss wasn't in town, he had just flown in. It was his private chopper right there. It seemed like the Watchers had tried reaching him for collaboration, which he turned down in hope of higher profits. Like they said, these scumbags are used to selling their souls to the devil for money... all the love he professed for Xen was gone when money dangled in the border. " You know what, there is something that I have been keeping from you... " Xen whispered, his voice almost inaudible as his hands morphed behind his back. " Come again son? " The boss brought his ears close to Xen's lips when suddenly Xen pulled him under him and grabbed him with his giant limbs. Shouts and yelled went about as stray gunshots hit here and there. " No shooting. Ask your men to drop their weapons or I rip your head off . " Xen ordered. "Screw you.... you son of a b*tch.... wha

    Robert and Rozelle were deep in conversation when the commotion outside caught their attention. Both of them ran out. Rozelle looked at her brother walking in with one hand around the shoulder of a Chemorian lad , instead of arresting them. " George! What are you doing? " Rozelle yelled. " What do you think? He is injured... knocked out... I am trying to help him. " George was too innocent to be Rozelle's brother from the same mother. " You should have helped yourself instead and arrested him while he was out. He is an alien, George. Gunshots will not kill him. " She walked up to him, probably to take the custody of Xen, herself. But something terrible happened in the next few moments. Both Rozelle and George suddenly froze in their tracks. Their eyes started turning black as their hair started to turn all white. " What's happening... "" What's going on? "Whispers and astonishment started filling the air. Mira was only half way down the ladder and she watched them, while d

    Several Years Later At Chemora -"Baba! Baba! Who is that girl? Why does she have a star over her head! ""Sssshhhh! " The little girl asking the question was instantly hushed. " Don't you know dear that we don't talk about her? Not in the night. No, my little darling. Never. I will tell you all about her in the morning. Alright? "But the little girl looked very angry at her mother. " But why mother, was she not the one who brought peace and tranquility over our planet? " Her tiny voice was fierce and strong. The woman quickly pulled the blinds around her place and closed her windows. The little girl had been looking at a statue at the Central Square. It was snowing in Chemora and the snow made the star above her head absolutely white. " I will tell you the story. I will tell you the story again. But not during the hours of the darkness, my little angel. It is not safe. You know what's going on. " The mother begged. Almost terrified. " Alright. I will wait till the sunrise. Yo

    Braze had his eyes glued on the telescope There was something happening amongst the stars. Something that he had been anticipating but could not really fathom. He was yet to complete his research papers. They were due for submission within a month . He has been lost in stargazing lately. Particularly gazing at a distant star. His phone rang breaking his undivided concentration. " You must come over at the observatory , Braze. Something phenomenal is happening with your star. You cannot miss it. The telescope at your place is not strong enough to capture this miracle. " What is it? "Braze asked as his breath picked up pace. Even though he could not properly see what was happening, he knew something was different about his star that day. Braze hit the brake hard as the voice from the other end hung up after telling him that, " It was the birth of a star. "***From the depths of the cosmic cradle, a celestial ballet unfolds as if orchestrated by unseen hands. Through the lens

    " It's time to say our goodbyes, my sweethearts. Let's meet again in the next life. "The boys opened their eyes as they sat up with a jolt. They were under the stars. There was darkness everywhere around them. They were on top of the highest peak around. Their clothes were around as they sat there and looked up at the twinkling wonders above their heads. A particularly bright star shone so bright that it made every around them as clear as the moonlight. They looked at each other and then they looked up above. They could not understand what they were doing. They immediately ran towards their clothes when the realisation of their n*kedness finally hit them. " Do we know each other? "One of them asked as the others looked at him with more confusion. " I think we do. Are we waiting for someone? " Another one asked. " I think we are here because of that. " The third one pointed at the Southern Star. " My knights! "They turned around as they heard a voice. " That's her. She i

    " Why are we back here? "Xen called out in astonishment as they found themselves inside the enclosure from where they had retrieved the Heartstaff. " Hello boys! Hi Mira! Thank goodness, you didn't keep me waiting. "Razzak's voice startled them. "Why is she here? " They asked in unison immediately coming in front of Mira like a shield. Razzak laughed as she shoved them to the side and went ahead and hugged Mira, who reciprocated the action with a smile. " Thank you for giving my memories back. "Mira was looking extremely refreshed and strong. The fear and unease that was darkening her face was gone. " You don't need to thank me. I took my chance. I always wanted to know more about you. Stella made it possible. I went against my ancestors in stealing that stone for you. I but all my eggs in your basket Mira. And I am glad that I did. "She smiled. " I will leave the rest to you. I think you might need some privacy. "She hugged Mira once more and winked, before leaving. " Wha

    " So you figured a way around, huh? Do you think the power of the Heartstaff can keep me away? It literally runs in my veins as well. "Mira was in the centre and the boys were around her. She clung to her father, scared, afraid, unable to understand why the universe turned so violent ? And it seemed like it all revolved around her. " Attack! " One blow after another sent tremors all around as the boys fought hard to maintain their defense. Even with their collective effort, it was difficult for them to counter so many successive attacks. " Mira, you can end this! " Kilian yelled from the other side. " All that I ask from you is to come back with me. Everything can be like it used to be. Just come back to me Mira. "Mira grabbed her father's shirt tighter as one blast sent Kian reeling behind. Calex kissed Mira on her forehead, " Always listen to your heart. " And without another word, he darted off towards the Kakarian formation. " You fool! " Kilian personally sent one blast af

    Earth had become a ragging battle field. There was news about random blasts and terrorist attacks all over the news. There was a frenzy everywhere as people ran indoors to hide inside their homes and basements. The Watcher Headquarters was going crazy, trying to handle calls from all the Presidents and Prime Ministers. It was true that they were answerable but the situation had blown out of proportion. They had no other choice than to call back their very best. Rozelle, George and Robert, walked back in the building, matching their steps. "Never thought that I would be back in business! " George stretched as the humanoids greeted them with coffee mugs. " Who would have thought that Gala had developed such a wonderful anecdote. She is talented, isn't she? " Rozelle read Robert's expression closely as she asked the question. Robert knew that he was in a tricky situation. He had to praise Layla for her credibility but he had to do so without making his lover jealous. " Life, my d

    " Why did we stop here? We should be running. This place is not very far from Guardian Yvonne's place. Kilian can catch up at any moment. "Xen yelled, paranoid. " Wait! Martha is relaying a message. We wouldn't get it if we crossed this perimeter. Ssshhh! Listen carefully, it's Yvonne. Is he... is he talking with Kilian? "Calex looked concerned. There was absolute silence as they listened to their conversation carefully with the help of the connection that Martha had created -" There was a time when I used to admire my sister. I used to look up to her. But then they began to shower unnecessary praises on her while all she did was sneak out to meet with men. Like I didn't know what she was doing in the name of training for strength. "" What rubbish! Kiara never saw any men apart from Calex.And your tribe ostracized her for that. " Yvonne tried to counter Kilian's claim. " She did a lot more than that. I saw her myself with Netera... "" You cannot be serious.... " Yvonne fumed

    " We will talk about this when you get back! " Kian's mother had just left when the front door almost blasted open. " He is coming. Where is Mira?"It was Xen. It seemed like he had run a million miles but he went straight for her, scooping her off the ground and kissing her in front of them all. " We need to get her out of here. Kilian is on his way. He is coming with his army. "Xen turned around at Braze and Kian, as if nothing had happened." How did you know that we were here? "" How does Kilian know? "Came the dual accusation. Xen signed and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pointed towards his chest. " I did not know that we could still use this but when Kilian was chasing after my ship and wrecked it into half, my instinct kicked in. I could feel the two of you. And the power of the Staff manifested from my chest. "Xen pounced over the two of them and grabbed them into a bear hug with both his hands. " I missed you both! "His words came out of nowhere. " So it was you

    They had been sitting beside each other for hours but neither had been talking. Finally Calex took the initiative to break the ice. " I am sure you father would understand. "Braze was startled by his statement. " Love makes us do all sorts for stupid things, " Calex continued as Braze looked at him with confused eyes. " I hope you are not being too hard on yourself. Guilt is a very dangerous weapon. It keeps cutting you from the inside while nobody get to know how you are exactly feeling. " He tried to smile at Braze and that definitely made Braze feel more awkward. " You know, I used to love Kiara, Mira's mother, just like you love Mira. " Braze could tell that he was putting real effort into that conversation. His voice was shaky and his eyes were turning red as he spoke. The topic was sensitive, yet he was willing to make things clear. Guardian Yvonne had gone to look for Kian and the Marine Queen while Mira was sleeping in her room.
