" Lord Kilian, you must not suffer like this. "

Sitara placed her hand over Kilian's shoulder affectionately but one sharp look from him was enough to get her to move it.

" What does it look like? " He asked the medical practitioner tending to Kiara's wound.

The practitioner shook his head.

" She will not survive. All I can do is give her some sedatives so it's less painful. " Kilian sat down beside him and looked in his eyes, " Is there nothing that we can do to help her? "

The practitioner shook his head.

" I am afraid not, Lord Kilian. She must have known it was suicide coming back inside Chemorian atmosphere after taking on a human form for so long. What was she thinking? "

Kilian sat there in absolute silence as the practitioner administered some Intravenous injections making her groans subside.

" How long does she have? " Kilian asked, his expression difficult to read.

" It's impossible to say. It would be safe to say she lives as long as she keeps fighting with her dying b

    " Is she sleeping? "The Dark Lord stood at the periphery of the bubble that kept Mira enclosed. It was his first time laying his eyes on his treasure, his own flesh and blood. It would be untrue to say that Caleb never loved Kiara. In fact he loved her so much he was on the verge of abandoning his mission and thinking about a mundane future with her. She had him wrapped around her fingers. Had it not been for the Dark Forces, reclaiming his heart, he would never have achieved the heights of greatness where he presently resided.The weak insignificant Caleb inside him was long dead and gone. Or so he thought. Nobody knew that he was there. Nobody needed to know. He needed to stay away from her, untill the right moment, to avoid any kind of contamination before the ritual. However, something inside him didn't let him sleep. " She is so close. She is finally here! "The voice inside his head spoke when no one was around. " Come on, now. One look. Just a glance. You have been in

    " Boys, can you hear me! "Kilian's voice made all three of them drop whatever they were doing, even Kian paid his full attention while dodging one swing after another from Razzak's spade. " I have mobilised my troop. We don't have much time. I know Mira is still alive because they are waiting for the stars to align but that does not guarantee her safety. Do you have the Staff with you? "" No! But I think I am close. Can you hear what I am saying? ”Kian yelled at the air which left Razzak surprised. " Whom are you talking with? How? ” She leaped at him but he effectively dodged her again this time. " Don't worry, I have tuned into Chemorian frequency and I can hear you guys just fine... at least for some time. "" Kian, are you sure that you are close?Where are you? Shouldn't we get to you and help you instead of hunting in the dark? " " Xen he can't hear you directly. I will have to let him know. Let me ask guide you to where he is. We don't have much time.Let me help you while

    The three of them carried Razzak out and put her beside the road with a 'Help Me' sign stuck on her back. " Should we move to the coordinates that were provided? " Kian asked flexing his wrist though there was visibly nothing on them. " I think we should. But are we sure that we can control this now? "The three of them looked at each other. " Let's give it one last try! "Xen opened his leather jacket and pulled out what seemed like a pen. But before anybody could blink an eye, it turned into a mighty Staff and the bracelets on Kian's and Braze's wrists became visible. " Seems like it works fine! " They quickly put it away and left for the designated coordinates. Upon arrival Braze was shocked as he witnessed vet Layla up and alive, getting mauled and manhandled by not only Robert but another person. He was forced to believe the Gala theory that was put forth but it was never easy watching someone whom you knew as a human getting hurt. As soon as they neared , the Gala sensed

    " Where is Braze and Kian? "Xen yelled as they almost heckled him and took him to another chamber. His hands were cuffed even though they said they just wanted to talk. It irked Xen a lot and he felt like punching each one in their face. The ones who had brought him there, left without answering his question, leaving him fuming with more rage . " Calm down dear boy! Rage is not good for those that come from your tribe. "Xen looked around but saw no one. Then the door flung open and a very old looking man entered. He smiled at Xen and then closed the door behind him and it was only Xen and himself, in that chamber. " Let me introduce myself dear boy, I am a retired Watcher and I used to go by the name, Big Boy. "Xen did not reciprocate his smile. " I believe that you might be well aware of your roots. "He stared into Xen's eyes as if reading his thoughts. " Not a problem dear boy. That's what we are here for. Let me show you something. Something that I had documented mysel

    Braze and Kian had been yelling at each other. They were kept in adjacent chambers but both fell silent when the same old man, with the same welcoming smile and oval glasses on his eye, entered their rooms, simultaneously. They too , were shown snippets of what was supposed to be documentaries on their tribes. Kian learnt about Azura, the mighty jinn who aided his father. Braze was told about the struggles his tribe faced due to the others. They too were sucked inside those spiralling lights that took them to a world inside their heads, which they didn't even know existed. ***" George! Georgie! Wake up Lazy ass! "Rozelle literally kicked George at his balls while he was dozing off in blissful slumber. " The hell! What happened now? Did the earth split apart or do you have another bug crawling inside that big head! " He pushed her head back with one finger as she stared at his face. She pressed him mouth and tackled him as he struggled. " Keep it down. I am not supposed to be

    Mira was dreaming. It had been awhile since she had that pleasure. Those nightmares had been clogging her brain and soul but she was feeling strangely free and elevated. She was floating. But there were knots tying her down. She could feel those knots at her pit.They did not hurt but sure they were uncomfortable.She saw herself sleeping in her dream but she was floating as she slept. The wind tool her over the clouds and from there the earth sparkled below. It was blue and green. Gradually she saw it's colours changing. There were myriad mists that started hovering over it like fog. Mists of all colour and shapes, as if they were part of a rainbow. Mira kept sleeping as the landscape below her transformed. It was no longer earth but the terrains of her home planet, Chemora. Mira reached out to cover her eyes, because the sun shone too bright and it seemed like it had come closer. She tried to lift her head and see where she was but a pair of gentle hands thrust her down.

    At the Watcher Head quarters-" How did two people, manage to take down an entire troop? An entire building full of the best Watchers and AI guards, could not take down a couple of fugitives? This is beyond humiliating.I don't know how I am going to report this to the president! "A voice asked the gathered seniors at the Watchers headquarters along with their humanoid counterparts. It seemed like they were in a video call but the face of the one speaking was hidden. " This was a deliberate move. There is no malfunction involved.Please ask Mr.President to rest assured that he will get the desired results.After all the process does not matter. What matters is that we reach our goal and in the shortest possible time. " A humanoid guard finally answered. This took the Watcher head by complete surprise. " I beg your pardon? Deliberate move? What do you mean? "He pushed his chair and stood up, stopping himself from shaking because he definitely looked embarrassed. " Yes, Watcher hea

There was something on the floor—a sharp knife. It looked dangerous, shining in the dim light.He felt drawn to touch it, even though he was scared. When his hand met the cold metal, he felt a shock through his body.The metal morphed and shifted, just like his own hand.

    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.

    " 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.

    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.
