"You should not have sent him out like that your grace” lord Gerrant let out a sigh as he spoke in disapproval of what the king did. "He is still the prince of our world and his dignity must always be respected".
"Oh please, spare us the sermon lord Gerrant" lord Varnaak definitely did not want to hear any of his words of empathy. "You saw what the prince did, he failed terribly in an ordinary task that was handed to him long years ago. I agree with the king that prince Andreas must not return to Gorgor again until he has found the mutant with the illumination ability". "But what if the prince was right. He is very powerful and strong enough to find the illuminator. His fighting skills are worth it and the range of his powers are outstanding. I sternly support prince Andreas that the mutant may not be from Triven, but from other planets in Omania. Let's be certain of our words, so as not to make rash decisions". Lord Gerrant was for sure not accepting defeat from Lord Varnaak especially not when he was sure he stood for what was right. "That is so absurd of you lord Gerrant. Your words are nothing but ridiculous ranting to the ears of the whole counsel and our king. Do not make me say that you should be relived of your position as a "... "Enough!" King Radia shunned, calling his counsel to order and stopping Varnaak from say the despicable. "I have given my order so shall it be. If any one has an issue with my decree, then he should prepare to join the prince in his temporary banishment. This counsel is dismissed!". At his last words, all the lords and ladies of Gorgor stood and left. the counsel room one after the other, leaving king Radia alone to leave at his own will. "Lord Varnaak!" He called to the lord before he could leave the room last. "Yes your grace” lord Varnaak turned to the king and bowed to him. "I do not trust the prince" king Radia spoke slow and calm as he stood from his throne and walked closer to where Varnaak stood. "I do not trust his loyalty to Gorgor anymore. He has always loved the people of Omania at large and made their worry priority over the cares of Gorgor. I believe he is hiding something from us all. I suspect that he has found the illuminator but chose hide him from us all and secure him instead of bringing him here to light up the core" he sighed deeply. "What do you want me to do? Your greatness" "l want you lord Varnaak to spy on him. Know his every movement and report whatever you realize to me immediately. Find out what or who he is hiding and bring him to me at once. Is that understood?". "Of course your grace”… *Nerwin, Triven* (The institute) " You look ravishing tonight Lilith. I would have said you were perfect too but you are terribly late. The speech us already over" Nexine said to her as he took her hand immediately she walked into the hall. She was wearing a sliver gown with an evident touch of purple, with glittering silver heels. She had tied her purple hair into a bun with her neck, face and ears bare because she didn't have any jewelry or makeup to put on them. But that didn't make her any less beautiful. "I will take just the compliment, thank you Nexine" she smiled as she took his hand while walking beside him into the hall to take a seat. "Ehmm, Lilith just call me Nex ok. I find it more suitable to me than my full name" Nexine requested, as they took a seat round an unoccupied table. The speech was already over as Nex had said. They only sat down and enjoyed the snacks that were prepared while the music was going on and the dancers were already on the dance floor. They had barely sat down sat down before a handful of other girls walked to the table they were at. Some where older than them while the others were about their age. They perched around Nex like flies perching around rotten food, touching him all over as they flirted with him. In no time, they got all of Nex's attention as he enjoyed being the center of attraction, always proud of his father's name 'sensei Velskud. They took the empty seats around Nex and even pushed Lilith off hers just to have all of him to themselves, and they did succeed. "Shoosh out of here purple head" a blonde girl that was definitely older than her age said harshly to Lilith after she had pushed her from her seat. "You look pathetic purple idiot" she mocked loudly, which got every ones attention and they all began to laugh at Lilith. She simply ignored their laughter and left them to another side of the hall. She went to another empty seat that she was lucky to have seen. She sat quietly on it, trying to keep her cool. She was really offended with what the girl said to her, but just tried to control herself. "Whew" she breathed as she took a glass of water from table before her and walked out of the hall abruptly. She walked to the trees a bit far,away from the entrance, where she was out of sight to anyone getting close to the hall because it was the dark of night already. She stood there alone, looking at the bright moon as she gulped the water whole. She was about to get back to the hall and drop her glass before taking a befinitting stroll round the trees, but she felt someone pull her hair very hard. "Oh our purple freak came here to be all alone like the little baby she is" the blonde girl from before she was really becoming unbearable to Lilith. "Let go of my hair!" She whimpered in pain as tear drops fell on her cheeks because she pulled her hair really hard. "What if l say that l won't! Huh! What are you going to do?!" Miss blondy was really a taunter, but Lilith was not ready to get intimidated. Without giving any more chance to act on her own will, she used the glass in her right hand and smashed on her head, giving her temporary freedom from her hold. "Aaaah! You little scum you will pay for this!" She cried in anger as blood tickled from the wound on her forehead which the smashed glass gave to het, down her already pink cheeks. "Aaaah" she launched an punch attack immediately on Lilith, which she doged by bending down and return drew her close to her and gave her hard shoulder. Kneeing her in the stomach and giving her a nose breaking punch which made her fall unconscious on the floor at the instant. "What a weak bully" Lilith sighed irritation as she looked at the unconscious girl lying before her. She went close to her and leaned over her, to know if her heart beat was still there but it wasn't . 'What! It wasn't? Did she kill her? But she only smashed a glass on her head, kneed her stomach, gave her a hard shoulder and punched her nose. Maybe she did it a little bit hard. Oh what had she done. She was sure going to get into deep trouble for this, She opted to get back inside the hall but realized that her dress was already ripped. "Dammit! " she cursed within her. Now she couldn't return to the hall and pretend like nothing happened. She was sure going to get expelled for this if anyone finds her here. She looked around for any security cameras, but found none. 'Good at least she was safe from that. "What do l do?" She asked herself as she rubbed her face. "What have you done Lilith? You are a murderer"..."What do l do?" She asked herself as she rubbed her face. "What have you done Lilith? You are a murderer"."No no no Nex" Lilith cried. "It was not intentionally, l didn't mean to do any of this. Please Nex you have to believe me. It is not my fault". "Oh really Lilith but you just murdered Lrya in cold blood. How could you even be capable of such. I might be your friend, but l won't conceal evil. I am reporting this straight to sensei Moran". He said with a serious face as he walked out on her. "I am so sorry Lilith". "No Nex please. Not displine sensei Moran. Please Nex don't do this to me. I might get expelled or even worst, serve a nation wide punishment. Please Nex". Lilith fell to the floor as she cried her eyes out to Nex but all her pleas fell on deaf ears as he just left her there all alone. "Oh no, no no!" She screamed into her palm out of fustration. Why was all this happening to her, why did she make the mistake of hitting Lyra. She placed her forehead on the ground i
"Ranger aspirants of Triven, gather around". It was morning and all the aspirants of the institute gathered outside to be assigned to their masters and also given their level up bracelets and start their journey to fully becoming rangers of Triven. Each sensei was assigned to 18 aspirants to train, and help them get to the next level. And by the end of every session, the best aspirants under each sensei would compete against each other for the ultimate prize of the year; grand aspirant. It was also accompanied with a huge level up, as the winner can skip two levels which is within one year, at most if he wishes to from the eight levels they have to pass through in the institute. Lilith silently prayed within her that she would get a good sensei. Someone she could understand and have a connection with. And she also wished she will not be assigned to the same sensei with Nex. She really didn't want to see his face anymore, after what happened last night. Plus in the kid rangers
"Punches! Blocks! Kicks!" Sensei Helia commanded his students as they obeyed the command accurately. They have been practicing those basic moves for two hours now and they all wondered in their minds why the sensei was making them practice the basic moves they already have at their finger tips for such a long time. "Concerntrate! Focus on the energy that revolves around you. Harden your fists! Hold your defenses, straighten and harden your kicks!" The commands kept coming from the sensei as he sat on a wooden chair he got from the cottage, hitting his cane on the ground in a definite rhythm. They continued practicing the moves till the alarm for lunch time sounded loud in the whole institute. They all were just so exhausted and didn't wait for their master to dismiss them but just left to pick their things and leave on their own. "Meditation class everyone is two hours before dinner. Do well to fill your stomachs now for it won't be nice to hear the roars of the monsters in y
Lord Varnaak was given till the next dusk of Triven to find out what the prince Andreas was hiding by king Radia. He thought of a perfect strategy to carry out the king's orders of following the prince after he had assigned him to do so. He knew very well he couldn't be seen by the people of Triven but he was sure the prince was going to sense him, one way or the other and for sure see him. So he had to do something exceptional like use one of his rare abilities, making illusions! Yes that was his strength and he was very sure it would be of great help to him now. But to be able to pull that off, he had to hatch a very effective plan so that he can outsmart the prince. He thought following him around, lurking around his own dark self so that he won't seem it strange that he saw him or sensed him wherever he went. He already knew that the prince spends his imaginary times in Omania at Triven and he was certain he mostly stayed in the ranger institute at their capital, Nerwin.
But he really hoped the prince will fall for it, and he did, leading to his now state. He had come back later after he was sure the prince had gone to Babu to carry out his father's orders as he had made him believe. He moved to the dorms immediately, searching all the rooms there for anything that could be likened to prince Andreas. He had just finished his search in the first and second dorms in his illusion as the prince. He was about to move to the third before he sensed the prince's presence there in Nerwin. 'He did even stay as long as he thought or was he the one who lost track of time?. He looked at the sun and realized it was already past mid day for Triven. Dammit* he must have spent so much time searching the other dorms. Immediately, he took the form of one of the flags there just to fool him, even though he knew he was the only one who could see him and would definitely know that something was off with the environment. But that was just to pass. As the flag, he staye
As the water from the shower poured on Lilith's hair to her skull, the thoughts of the boy she met earlier outside her door kept coming to her. Something about him was just odd but she could not spot what. She would have mentioned him to Andreas but she felt it wasn't relevant and besides, she had other reasonable things to talk to him about other than that. She did not rush her bath as she scrubbed her skin slowly, taking a deep breathe with each scrub. She did not know why but she had this serene calmness within her and all she wanted to do now was to leave the shower and get a good long nap. She was still fantasizing about how long and endearing her nap will be till she a strange bird flew into her bathroom through the open window. She felt startled at first but then realized it was just a bird and she had nothing to worry about. She carried the bird on her palm and opted to show it the way out of the bathroom before it's feathers get wet but then she noticed it was no ordin
'Meet me at the foot of the orange oak tree, if you want to know more about your father'. These were the words contained in the paper that the bird delivered to Lilith in the bathroom. They echoed in her heart repeatedly as she hastened her foot steps to the orange oak tree. She opted to run there but she realized that she might draw unwanted attention to herself as the whole place was really busy with the institute staff, senseis and other aspirants who were just leaving the dining hall. She acted normal like nothing was wrong and waved back at those who cared to wave at her. "Lilith!" A female voice called to her in a sweet tone. She turned to the direction of the voice and found that it was coming a girl, her sister from their training. They shared the same master hence, she saw her as a sister as well as the others. But she was not sure what her name was. "Lilith" she called again, as she walked fast to where she stood in a halt the first time she called. "Lilith. Hi""Hi..
"I did not believe that you would be brave enough to come alone". A voice from behind the oak said. Lilith turned to direction of the voice immediately to meet the last person she wanted to see now 'Nexine!"Nex?""Yes Lilith. It is l. Are you surprised?" He gave her a dirty smirk. "What are you doing here? We’re you the one who sent me this?" She took out the piece of paper and showed him. "Yes Lilith... I was the one who sent it to you, just to get your special attention". "Why would you want my attention Nex? What do you know about my father?" Lilith was so desperate for answers now that she could kill Nex just to get it, if she had to. "Ehm... About that, l know nothing about your brave father Lilith" he said in a serious tone. “Except for the fact that he died in one of our wars against other worlds. Any other information apart from that that you believed l could give you, it definitely not happening because he is only a tale to me just like you would be soon". "If you kne
Florate just had to let the tears fall. She was right. Her quiting the match even though it was worth it would make her to repeat a the previous level. Her stats would be brought down and she would join the current level seven aspirants and train better to get to her original level although that would be when her mates must have graduated. That was the main reason why he had Lilith get him disqualified instead of just quitting. Also, she was also right with the point that none of them would want that. In as much as they wanted her to leave the match, having her become reduced by a level won't be nice at all. So she did well by bearing the pain and he was so proud of her right now. "But I did it right?" she continued. "I got a point at least, didn't I?" "Although the sensei saved the results for later. As you both were injured but left for me, I can proudly say that my girlfriend was incredible. I am so proud of you Rain" he kissed her hair again. “I am so proud that you are mine
"Nanny Adelaide!" Florate screamed, obviously perplexed about Lilith's condition. "Nanny Adelaide!" He kept calling his nanny immediately he enter the main doors of the clinic and couldn't stop yelling till he found her. She was not attending to anyone, so she was free and walked around to check how the others were doing. She was startled clearly with the way he was screaming her name but before she could ask why, she noticed he was carrying a lifeless girl in his arms. "Oh my goodness!" she gasped before running towards him immediately while he too ran to meet her. “Thelma?" she called a nurse she had been walking around with. "Yes nurse Adelaide" "Get a stretcher immediately!" At her order, the young nurse left to do as she was told. "Nanny..." Florate found it hard to explain when he got close to his nanny he was already out of breath to. "What is it Florate? Tell me! What happened to her?" "Nanny this is my friend Lilith. I don't know, I just found her like
"Hey Nex!"Nex had beaten Dodge in their match against each other. He beat him both judging from the match and judging from their stats. It was not a surprise to anyone, Nex was strong, muscled and agile. He could easily over power his opponent if the person was not very resourceful as Dodge was not. He was strong too but Nex was always a step ahead of him during the match and that granted him victory.He had just received his handshake from his most proud father, not like he (Nex) cared and was now heading back to his room before he heard some one yell his name. He turned back to see who it was and he was not surprised at all."What do you want Florate?" he asked with a relaxed and calm voice. He looked like he did not know why Florate had to stop him and also pretended they were just casual people who stopped each other on the way to say one or two things."And why would I ever want anything from you Nexine?" he retorted, returning an angry frown for the calm expression on his face
"What has every one on Omania got to do with bringing light back to Gorgor?" Lilith furrowed in confusion. "Everything Lilith. Everything. Once light is restored to Gorgor, We will be free from the abyss Triven put us in and we will finally spot our location in the galaxy and you know what that means?" She shook her head, still not comprehending what she was trying to say. "It means that the door has been made open for my father to take his revenge on all of Omania especially Triven. And trust me Lilith when I say that with the height of the rage burning within him, it would be a death sentence for you all and sweet revenge for him. So no. I won't tell you how to restore light to Gorgor, for the sake of greater good" he said sadly. "Is there no other way to relieve you of the darkness?" she asked again, not really hoping to hear something good but she had to ask. "There is no other way Lilith". "Then we shall go with the first" she blurted making him almost believe she w
"It means I might kill you if I try to go beyond the kisses. You might die Lilith". "What do you mean by that? I will die? Why?" She looked a bit scared. "Listen" he held her both hands as he spoke "I once told you that i am not really here, that l am still stuck in a star with the rest of my world". "Yes" she nodded. "But I can see and feel you". "That is only because you have me in here" he touch her head like he did the first time they met. "I am confused Andreas. If you are in my head, then why can I feel your touch, inhale your scent, hear your breaths, Just why? And why will I die if you try to touch me?" she had lots of questions going on in her head right now and she needed reasonable answers to them all. "You only have those feelings around me Lilith because you welcomed me into your head. You made my story your favorite story because you loved me. I have always felt this attraction towards you since you were born and I remained stuck in your shadow till I found th
"Is that really a necessary question Florate? Well if you must know, I am here to see my girlfriend, Rain". "Your girlfriend?" Florate was now loosing his cool. "Let me remind you Nexine incase you are having some kind of memory loss, sight loss or brain issues. That girl lying on that bed" he pointed at the bed where Rain lay "is Rain Flake, my girlfriend. So you better get yourself out of here before I make you leave myself" he clenched his fists. "Don't be ridiculous Florate" he scoffed. "We both know that Rain truly loves me and not you. She has eyes only for me. She is only with you because I allowed her to be. But now, I want her all to myself so just drop whatever moronic claim you have on her because she is mine! Isn't that right Rain love?" he touched her cheeks as he spoke which got Florate really fired up. He had purposely got himself disqualified with Lilith's help only so he could get the chance to see Rain, to be with her. But now this idiotic Nexine is here! Claimi
"What about it?" "I felt this shock when I touched it. Does it hurt?" she asked with much concern. He kissed her jaw before answering her question. "No" he said with the most sexiest voice she has ever heard. "Then why did I feel that jolt?" "I guess we should stop here" he let his hands fall from her body, placing them by his sides and waiting for her to stand from him but it did not seem like she was in any mood to. "Stop here? Why? What did the jolt mean?" she asked again. "Trust me Lilith you don't want to know" he said simply still waiting for her to get up but she wouldn't yield. She rather drew closer to him and touched it again. "Ouch!" she flung her hand. "The tension just increased. What is going on? Are you alright?" "Lilith don't push me" he said lightly as if pleading to her. "Don't push you to what Andreas? I am not scared" she widened her eyes. "Tell me what the problem is? Why is your mark electrocuting me?" "You are not ready for that yet Lilith" he
"Congratulations Lilith" Lilith was cheered by many other rangers and sensei's as she stepped down the stairs after she got a handshake from the grand sensei. “Thank you" she faked a smile. To be honest, she really did not feel good about this winning. She knew she did not deserve it, she did not even do any thing, Florate just let her win only so he could see Rain. She wondered if she was ok. She tapped her bracelet to view her stats and was indeed pleased with what she saw even though she wasn't sure how she earned them. Lilith Amnell, LEVEL 8: Responsibility: 100%, exceptional self-defense skills 96% attack skills 100% emotional mastery 78% respect 99% honor 99% discipline 100% courage 95% strength 89% empathy 100% speed 85% counter attacks 78%. However, the smile on her face changed to a frown when she remembered that Florate's stats would be drained seriously after the disqualification. 'Oh my' she slapped her face, looking sad. What was she doing here anyway, she should go
Lilith gave it a quick thought…But why would she do that. That was going to drain his stats big time, did he not care? She stood up immediately and glanced at the timer. They still had three whole minutes and two seconds till the end of the match. She looked directly into his green orbs and shook her head slightly at him. He understood what she meant immediately. She finally got his message and wasn't willing to do it. "Please" he whispered to her and with a sour face, she nodded. She really had no choice, he was begging this of her and she had to fulfill it as a good friend. She took deep breathes through her mouth before running towards him with a grievous attack, the knee kick. She raised herself from the floor with all strength in her and hit him hard on the jaw with her two knees, one after the other making him stagger backwards and almost out of the circle. He would have just stepped out but deliberately leaving the circle would get the both of them disqualified and he did
