Daughter of the Damned Decision
" What happened to her mother? Why didn't she tell me? " Braze was about to push Kian aside and rush out of the empty amphitheater but Kian pulled him back by his collar. " Probably the primary reason being that you might react like this... I shared this only because I wanted us to find a way out of this for her... not bombard her with more questions... she's disturbed.... we all are... we are still trying to adapt with our physiological changes... it surely will be difficult to handle emotional ones... "Kian was able to forcefully make Braze sit on a chair. " What are you suggesting? " he finally asked calming down a little bit. " She said she couldn't go back to her old home... " Kian began, " she is still a student. She needs to study. She is already in a school. Why would she need to go someplace else? Can't she stay here? Just like she is at the moment. "Their eyes met in a clash. " You want her to become a regular at Pamora High? Have you no clue about it's tuition? Oh, I
Daughter of the Damned Similarities...
Braze's phone vibrated in his pocket as he angrily strutted out of the amphitheater. He pulled it out, very annoyed, because it won't stop buzzing even after trying to switch it off for a few times with his finger inside the pocket. His eyebrows narrowed as he saw the name. It was the lady vet. " Hello... " He immediately put his air pods on, thrusting the phone back inside his pocket again. " Oh, Hi Braze! How are you doing? " She asked. " All good. Thank you... and you? " " Good good. All good. Umm... I called to share very important news. I think I have been able to draw some similarities between your conditions and an old patient... I was just checking his blood behavior when it struck me how similar it was to yours. I can't give you all the details over the phone. Can you please come down to my office? " She asked. " Now. Right now? " Braze looked at his watch. It was way past school time. The campus was deserted. It was well past afternoon. Layla returned to her files. She
Daughter of the Damned Remembrance
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Braze stammered, "Let me get you some ice or something."Layla, her lips swollen and bleeding, hesitated for a moment. "No, no, I'm fine," she replied, attempting to hide her discomfort. "It's just a small cut."Braze hurriedly fetched a tissue to help stem the bleeding from Layla's swollen lip. His hands were shook slightly as he gently dabbed at the cut."I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," he said, still visibly flustered.Layla managed a weak smile despite the discomfort. "It's alright, accidents happen."But the sight or perhaps the smell of her blood was making him uncomfortable. His throat dried up. Or perhaps it was the fact that he was too close to her face, his breath bouncing off her face. The silence between them grew increasingly awkward and we know it wasn't for the first time. As Layla looked up at Braze, her eyes fluttered. She looked away and then looked back when he wasn't looking. Finally, raze mustered the courage to break the tensi
Daughter of the Damned Missing???
" What's the emergency? Why are you calling in the middle of the night? This was my first night of peaceful sleep after so many weeks , boy... why did you have to ruin it? "Xen was still rubbing his eyes as he picked Kian's call. " Braze is missing ... Mira and I have been trying to reach him... His phone's switched off... I am standing in front of the house he is staying at... the house lady says he hasn't come back... I don't know where he could be..."Xen sat up, adjusting his neck. " Why are you so worked up? He is a grown ass male. He could be anywhere... it's not like he is missing for days... "" No. It's not like that... But it's urgent... We had a small fight... with the Watchers around, it's making me worried.... I have a bad feeling about this... and so does Mira... "" Okay... okay... "Xen cut him short, " I'm on my way. Gosh! Are you a married couple? Like seriously dude... had a fight... worried about him... Ewww! You make it sound so tacky.... "Xen hung up, leaving
Daughter of the Damned Into the woods
It took Xen only a few calls to pin point Braze's last location. " He went to that mountain... "Xen declared as he put his phone back in his pocket. " Alone? "" To the Mountain of Forgetfulness? "" Is he mad? What was he thinking? "Xen chose to ignore their shocked gibberish and walked forward, leading their small pack. Mira chose to keep her distance, hurdling the food pack in her hand. " What was this summoning spell Mira was talking about? Are you really a wizard? You can conjure people? " Kian was a little lost. He had no clue what had happened between Xen and Mira that night. To be fair, even Xen had no clue. What were the roots for those unholy vines of temptation that did creep all over his existence , wrapping in their intoxication? Or was it spontaneous affection that welled up from the abyss of his maligned past? He would have long forgotten about it and buried it with the other misdeeds of his past, had only Mira not reciprocated and responded to his touch. He had l
Daughter of the Damned Reveal
Xen's head was hammering from the inside. It was that constant sound of metal clinking which was making him go deaf. " Don't be scared... I'm here... don't be scared... " He could hear the voice of his sister fading as the sound of the metal began louder and louder. He could feel their presence. He had no clue who they were but he knew they were not human. He was scared.And so was his sister. But sje shielded her with her body while Xen twitched and turned under her weight. " Calm down... little brother.... we cannot go out... " And then they heard their mother scream. Panic over took their little hearts and minds. " Noooo.... " His sister pleaded with her eyes but Xen could not restrain himself and let out a guttural war cry but all he wanted to do was vent out his fear. His sister hurriedly stood up and shoved her brother out of the dog-door. " Run and never come back.... " She warned as she mimicked his voice exactly and sprang out of her hiding stop in an attempt to deter t
Daughter of the Damned No regret
***At Chemora - Several earth-hours after Mira's birth***Kiara lay on the ground. Her crimson feathers scattered all over the ground. Torn and plucked mercilessly as they slowly lost their colours and then withered away in front of her eyes. He had left her for dead. Kiara could still not believe it. The one whom she had once loved so dearly. The one who was the father to her child. As she tried to move a little, blood spilled out through her mouth and nose. It seemed like she had broken her rib cage in that fight. She knew her powers were nothing compared to his. " Kiara, why are you making me do this? " He flung her across as if she was nothing more than a mere insect. Kiara was no ordinary mage, yet she was the most vulnerable, the most helpless at the moment. His hands extended, his dark powers formed a circular grip around Kiara's neck and the diameter of the ring slowly compressed. " Kill me! Just kill me already! " Kiara yelled through her pain, locking her eyes direc
Daughter of the Damned My sweet angel
Kiara's POV " Mira??? What is she doing here? " It had completely skipped my mind that she was in that neighbouring country as an exchange student. In running away from her, in keeping her safe, I had in reality, brought the Dark mages, right at her doorstep. Like an idiot I ran. There were a lot of them. And I was not the Kiara who was one of the best warriors that Chemora had. I was weak, I was vulnerable, barely a notch higher than those average humans. I ran harder, even though it was difficult with my feet bleeding and the thorny vegetation scraping my skin. I could feel her. She was just a few feet away from me. And I could feel them as well, swirling around the spot, scattered for the time being, for some reason. I ran and ran and then finally I bumped right into her. We both fell on either side of the bush. " Mamma? " I heard Mira's voice as I tried to get the dirt off my face. " Mamma... is that... is that really you? You came for me??? Mammaaaaaaaaa! " She fell righ

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
Daughter of the Damned Birth of star
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
Daughter of the Damned Start of a New Dawn
" 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
Daughter of the Damned Mating in the Stars
" 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
Daughter of the Damned The final countdown
" 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
Daughter of the Damned Scattered incidents
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
Daughter of the Damned Kilian
" 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
Daughter of the Damned Moving forward
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
