" 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
" Watcher George... Watcher Rozelle... "Their headsets went off at the same time, bringing both George and Rozelle back to consciousness. " Reporting... "" Reporting... "They answered in a chorus, dusting off the debris that covered both of them. " We lost them. " George looked around before helping his sister up. " They were nothing like normal Chemorians or any other extraterrestrial we have encountered this far... It seemed like they possessed no body... "" What about the students? " Asked the voice from the other side. " They were allies. It seemed like they were the targets these creatures are pursuing... " George reported" Hhhmmm....The encounter at the foothills now makes sense...Both of you should come back to safety and report the development...We will need to work with new strategies..."" Yes sir. " George looked at Rozelle who did not look convinced. George quickly switched off his headset and then bent down,coming closer to his sister and asked, " What's on your
" 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
" You dare to return empty handed yet again! "The roar reverberated through the depths and lengths of the dark trench where a voice made all the Dark Mages shudder with fear. " We almost had her my Lord. " One of them fell on their knees. Their faces remained hidden behind their long veils and their hoodie clothes made it impossible to gauge their actual structure. " This time, the ball wa sin our court, there was no doubt about it. We went in our full strength and even cornered her for good but... "Another Darkling stopped in the middle of his speech. " But what? "The growl grew wilder and more fierce this time, sending a chill down their spines, making every nerve in their bodies tremble. " But she lead us directly to the treasure... " Complete silence followed with angry snarls. The owner of the blood curling growls finally emerged out of the shadows. The Dark Mages retreated out of fright but frozen after taking a couple of steps back. " The treasure? You had both of the
" I thought she was with you. " Braze hit Xen hard on his chest. Xen was yet to recover from what had happened. He wasn't ready to respond to Braze's aggression. "She was... But then... she was gone... "Xen could not tell Braze for everything under the sun, what had happened between the two. " Hhhmmm, this tastes good. " He was shocked when she thrust ber finger in his mouth and then licked her own finger dipped in his saliva. She relished it like an exquisite dessert. If it wasn't enough, she went ahead and began unbuttoning him and playing with his Adam's apple. " Mira... You don't seem alright. Let's get back and figure this out... "He found himself blabbering once again. But Mira giggled and thrust herself between his legs. She traced his growing bulge with her hips and said, " Why do you want to take me back? Do you want to do me with the other two? Should we have a foursome? How does it work? I don't have any experience. Will you teach me? "Mira literally jumped onto h
Mira found herself running in her dream. It was very stuffy and hot. She found herself sweating as she kept running in that darkness. After moving several steps forward, she found herself stopping to check her surroundings. She placed her hands around the walls. She was in a very narrow and constricted space, that stretched forever forward and back. It was almost like a metal tunnel not completely that. Mira could hear echoes of her own footsteps following her as she moved forward. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she heard a voice," M-I-R-A... " ,a distant voice, calling her name. A voice that felt very warm. A voice that felt like home. She looked around, trying to locate the source but she could not pinpoint it. It seemed like it was coming from all around. " Who is it? I can hear you. Where are you? "Mira called out in her sleep. " Come to me my little one. I know you have been searching for me. Come to me. You must... "The voice whispered and growled , all at once. Mira felt a
Mira's POVThis brings us back to the present. Life hasn't been normal for a couple of months now.We are now living with our new identities which Guardian Yvonne helped us forge. Braze and Kian were hit the hardest when Yvonne told them that it was best for their families to forget about them for awhile. He fed Braze's mother and Kian's grandfather a potion and instilled in them through hypnotherapy,the notion that their boys were off to study and explore foreign shores. Our focus has been on getting rid of the dark mages lately.Keeping ourselves well hidden from the Watchers and the Darklings came next and of course, trying to get back to our roots, to Chemora.None of the boys were able to get past the first barrier.I ended up reaching the peripherals of our mother planet, while chasing one of the Dark Mages, after it attacked us in his human form. This was a new nuisance. Even Guardian Yvonne failed to understand, how they acquired such transformational powers, under the Watche
Trigger warning ( sensitive topics like self hurt )-The Dark Lord pulled his nails out one by one. He seemed like he was relishing in that pain. Every time he pulled his flesh out along with each nail, a new one grew, almost immediately in its place. His legs were grazing above the fire and chewed on that metal blade. It was the same for all his organs. Every time it got severed it immediately regenerated as if adding salt to his sadistic fornication. As he repeated it again and again, his eyes rolled up and he arched his neck back, as if reaching his climax. " How dare you filthy b*tch? "He erupted into a frenzied shiver. " How dare you still hold me captive with those fierce eyes?" He gritted his teeth as tremors shook his entire body. " You saw me looking at you, didn't you? " He was rolling on the thorny floor as the thorns ripped tiny spots off his flesh. " You ran away not because you were embarrassed." He laughed like a mad man. " How dare you! " His emotion immediate
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. " I was in love with Kiara before I was
