The Beginning
Last Updated:
2021-09-20 23:39:44An ancient and deserted cottage emerged from numerous thick clusters of some gigantic, wild trees in the corner of a city. It had been given up almost hundred years ago and it had some rumours for its look, as no one was living there. But the most strange thing was, there was a very significant, annihilating machine concealed by some people. No one knew about that except the subduers of this planet, apparently.
And except him.
He removed his jet-pack and walked briskly to the mouldy cottage. He was secretly very nervous, although he tried to look simple-hearted. Nobody paid attention at him that much and they kept working, walking or doing their own things. Suddenly, a kid riding a flying bycycle almost hit at his back, then quickly landed beside him.
"Hey, I'm so sorry!" the kid balanced the cycle and glanced at him. "I'm not very good at this, but I keep practising, don't I? Sometimes it's very difficult to control, it just goes beyond my hands and so I've already created...like five accidents. But they weren't so serious, just some stitches on my body!" The kid spoke breathlessly, panting and beside him, while he was wondering what the hell was wrong with this little boy.
Brain malfunction? Sudden nerve attack?
"I've also earned a red sign in my cycle for my reckless driving. But what can I do, tell me? I love to fly my cycle. Anyway, you didn't get hurt, did you, eh?"
He shook his head, feeling slightly irritated.
A cheerful smile immediately appeared in the kid's face and he grabbed the handles of his cycle, starting to paddle. A few moments later, he flew over a palm tree and lost control again and crashed on the ground.
"Nice job, kid," he simply commented and began to walk on his way.
He went at the back of the cottage, hiding himself behind a tree. He pulled out a pair of spectacles from pocket, which could detect any invisible object or any infrared rays. He wore them with his slightly shaking fingers, then realised that his suspicion was true.
A silvery robot was standing near of the cottage, his hands were clenched and its mechanical blue eyes were alert, moving vigorously.
"Bloody hell!" he muttered and kicked the black stem of the tree, but it didn't make any sound. His brain started to think about what he should do next. Maybe he should have gone back to his dormitory, to hang out with his friends. But his mind didn't agree with that, so he slowly roamed eyes around the place and it was peacefully quiet, except the birds sweet humming and fallen leaves sounds. The robot walked to the front door and he knew he couldn't vanquish that broad-shouldered robot with his strength. And at that moment, fortunately, he discovered a tiny window was opened of a bedroom.
He smiled.
Although the window was too small, he could manage to enter in the room and jumped into it without any sound.
And there was the TIME MACHINE.
The room was dark, because the natural satellite Nool's light couldn't reach here for the deep forest around. But the slight light was enough for him to recognize the machine.
The machine was round-shaped, blue-colored, glittery and glowed with some buttons. This was invented by an unknown scientist and it had some difficulties, too. His heart began to beat very fast and he stared at the blank, white screen for which he had come here, with his life hanging in the balance.
"Just one minute." He whispered, "then I will see my mother. Only one minute."
He started to write on the screen by his index finger, he could feel his skin sweating hard. He tried to think what would happen because of the thing he was doing then, both good and bad.
"The Time War, 13 February, 1979." He wrote.
Then he closed his eyes, waiting for to return in the precious past. He was waiting for the moment to disappear everything around him, that filthy cottage, the giant robot outside, the smell of beeswax, nothing but his mother's pretty face would appear before his eyes...
But instead, he felt a firm hand gripping his shoulder.
"What the heck do you think you're doing, you little stupid Plancee?" a bald-headed person said through gritted teeth, standing behind him, that man's eyes were red and horrible and intense.
And he wanted to prepared himself for the worst.

Illusion The Ban
I lay behind my back, before the boat, and into darkness I must row. I rowed with weak arms, watching my hands to make sure I kept hold of the oars, for I could not feel my grip. I came thus into rough water and the dark, out on the open Gulf. There I had to stop. With each oarstroke the numbness of my arms increased. My heart kept bad time, and my lungs had forgotten how to get air. I tried to row but I was not sure my arms were moving. I tried to pull the oars into the boat then, but could not. When the sweet light of a harbour patrol ship picked me out of the night like a snowflake on soot, I could not even turn my eyes away from the glare.They unclenched my hands from the oars, hauled me up out of the boat, and laid me out like a gutted blackfish on the deck of the patrol ship. I felt them look down at me but could not well understand what they said, except for one, the ship’s master by his tone;

It's almost midnight. I quietly climb up the stairs to the rooftop. There is a little garden of flowers, now they are starting blossoming. I inhale deeply the sweet scent of them, crossing my arms across my chest. The air is cold but refreshing, it starts to calm my mind and I slowly stare up at the sky. It was my father who first taught me about the stars and constellation. I used to climb up a banyan tree beside our house, then jump at the roof. Dad also used to say that it was dangerous for me to go to the roof at night, but when I capriced to him to teach me the names of stars, he couldn't deny me. It's a moonless night, yeah, there is my favorite star, Rigil Kentaurus. I sigh again, watching the large constellation Ursa Major. Why am I sighing? Shouldn't I be happy tonight? Is something bothering me?"Watching stars?" a male voice says behind me, his footsteps approaching. "Tonight it has a nice view, I see."

Moriah opened his eyes, blinking at the light. Everything around him was white just like vast space, except there wasn't darkness. All around the place was so bright, but there was nothing except him as if he was floating on there alone, in the middle of nowhere. 'What happened? Where am I?' He slowly lifted his head up, it was pounding like a hammer. Of course, he found it slightly ridiculous that he was sitting on nothing or perhaps on an invisible seat. He should have been scared and worried and felt lost, but since he was unaware of those feelings, he became wary. "Slept well?" A female voice made his head jerk to the other side. Moriah grimaced. Hadassah muttered something under her breath, and the next moment he fell from that place. He opened his mouth to scream, but the air was rushing him down, he could feel the unbelievable weightlessness of him. He squeezed his eyes shut, a second later he heard the desperate shriek which could be his own voice... Crunch!

"Ah...." Celandine observed the man curiously who just came out from the chamber, going downstairs. She noticed the small hand batch on his black robe, wondering what that might be meaning. Suddenly everything around her changed. They traveled dawn to dusk, past woods and orchards and neatly tended fields, through small villages, crowded market towns, and stout holdfasts. Come dark, they would make camp and eat by the light of the moon and the lamps. The men took turns standing watch. Celandine would glimpse firelight flickeringthrough the trees from the camps of other travelers. There seemed to be more camps every night, and more traffic on the kingsroad by day. She somehow knew it was a dream. Morning, noon, and night they came, old folks and little children, big men and small ones, barefoot girls and women with babes at their breasts. Some drove farm wagons or bumped along in the back of ox carts. More rode: draft horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, anything that would walk or ru

The morning air was dark with the smoke of burning goods. The old dry wood and countless layers of paint and varnish blazed with a fierce hungry light. Heat rose shimmering through the chill air; behind, the gargoyles and stone dragons on the castle walls seemed blurred, as if Moriah were seeing them through a veil of tears. Or as if the beasts were trembling, stirring . . "An ill thing," Hadassah declared, though at least she had the sense to keep her voice low "Silence," said Moriah. "Remember where you are.

The drapes kept out the dust and heat of the streets, but they could not keep out disappointment. Dany climbed inside wearily, glad for the refuge from the sea of Qartheen eyes. "Make way," Jhogo shouted at the crowd from horseback, snapping his whip, "make way, make way for the Mother of Dragons." Reclining on cool satin cushions, Xaro Xhoan Daxos poured ruby-red wine into matched goblets of jade and gold, his hands sure and steady despite the sway of the palanquin. "I see a deep sadness written upon your face, my light of love." He offered her a goblet. "Could it be the sadness of a lost dream?" "A dream delayed, no more." Dany's tight silver collar was chafing against her throat. She unfastened it and flung it aside. The collar was set with an enchanted amethyst that Xaro swore would ward her against all poisons. The Pureborn were notorious for offering poisoned wine to those they thought dangerous, but they had not given Dany so much as a cup of water. They never saw me for a qu
