"Gorgor. Long time ago, from the blue east star, beyond the surface of our planet Omania, there was an existing world of aliens known as Gorgor. It was known as the world with the brightest stars and skys because its core shone the brightest more than that of other worlds... "
"Mommy?" Lilith interrupted with a sleepy voice. "Yes darling" Lilian creased her face. "You haven't told me what the people of Gorgor looked like, or are they just like us?". "I don't know baby but the diagrams in this story book tells me that they look like sticks" Lilian said with a confused look on her face as she flipped through the book's pages to see that all the diagrams it contain were stick drawings. "Sticks?" Lilith was a bit surprised. "If they were sticks mommy, l am sure their bright stars would have burned them already" she focused her bright purple eyes on her mom's face, awaiting her reply. "You know baby" Lilian held her left hand and creased it gently. "This happened a very long time ago, so no one alive knows what the people of Gorgor really looked like, but it is certain that they were not from our planet and they looked totally different from us. Can l continue the story now?". "Yes mommy". "Good, now where was l... Hmmm" Lilian scanned through the pages of the book before she found out where she was before Lilith interrupted. "Ah ha! But Gorgor became a story when their powerful King, king Radia became power thirsty and seeked dominance over other worlds in Omania. He conquered so many worlds and extinguished their existence with their bright stars, and expanded their boundaries, over their lands. However, his son prince Andreas was never in support of his fathers lust for power and he always thought of ways to change his mind but all was to no avail. The young prince spoke with words, wrote in notes, sang in lyrics to his father's listening but all his efforts were futile as the bad king refused to heed to his words. Prince Andreas was now helpless as he let his father do as it so pleased him. The king destroyed and dominated worlds upon worlds upon worlds, till he decided to dominate Triven. Our great ruler, Lord Agrippa the first at that time, fought bravely with all the human and natural resources of Triven. Our technology and nature's gift were all used in the battle against Gorgor. But most especially, our rangers. They fought bravely and defended our world. The war ended with Gorgor becoming lost in a star, by the convergence of the powers of all our rangers which they could not stand up to. And till today, it is not known which of the stars of our planet Omania that contains Gorgor but its constellation that bore it's symbol never left the sky. The end". Lilian closed the book to behold her already sleeping daughter. Of course she couldn't stay awake till the end of the story, she never does but always insteaded on hearing it every night. "Good night sweetheart" she kissed her for head. "Tomorrow is going to be a great day for you". Of course it was, it was her first day at the Triven's kid's ranger institute and she has dreamt of going there and becoming a ranger like her father. She didn't want to attend the kid's science institutes nor the kid's adminstrative institute. Those were the three bases of Triven. Martial arts, science and administration and it is a law that every citizen of this world must indulge in at least one of these three strongholds because if there is some thing every world on the planet agreed on, it would be that there is no mercy for the weak and the only ones that should survive are the fittest. For this reason, Triven has set it to be a law to lay a solid foundation from the creche that every of its son or daughter must be enrolled in any of these schools once at the age of five so that they can be fit to defend their world against external rivals in the future. She (Lilian) had enrolled into the administration institute and was trained to become a part of Triven's ruling teams. Those from the science institutes were the brains behind their worlds technology and those from the ranger institute like her late husband where the brawn and defense of Triven. All had a crucial role to play in the building and growth of Triven, why it has remained unbeatable. She smiled at the thought that her little Lilith would join the rangers tomorrow as all she was enthusiastic about was to be a ranger and a superhero like father. She stood from the chair and it drew back under her drawing and colouring table where she had brought it from as she kept the storybook back in its place on the shelf. She turned off the lamps by the two sides of her cute bed and left the room, shutting the door lightly behind her. The night remained calm till it was midnight. Someone suddenly appeared in Lilith's room, watching her from the door where he stood. It was dark to his features, but it was certain that his white robe glittered and sparkled in the dark. He crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned on the wall, with his whole gaze focused on Lilith. After some time, he finally decided to come closer and get a better look of her. He got her bed and examined her closely. She lay on her bed face up, still asleep as her breathes were slow and steady. She was indeed a beauty, even at this very young age. Infact, she looked like a toy with her cartoon like facial features. Her purple long wavy hair, her big eye balls with perfectly carved brows and long lashes. He could wait to see her breathtaking purple eyes. Also, her small pointed nose and finally her pink soft plump lips which he could resist the temptation to touch and even kiss them. He felt her face with his fingers, as the trailed over her soft smooth skin. He felt down her face to her lips, and stopped there. He touched her soft lips as he fought so hard to resist the temptation not to kiss, and he lost. He gave in. He leaned over her immediately in attempt to kiss her, but stopped when he felt her move under her sheets. He stayed still for while,seizing his breathe and waiting for her to calm down and drift to sleep again, and she did after tightening her sheets around her again. He exhaled deeply, without realizing that it might wake her up. And before he did know, it was already too late as Lilith had already opened her royal purple orbs widely to meet a very colorful pair of eyes even in the dark of the night that she didn't find familiar. "Mommy!"..."Mommy!" She screamed with all the air in her lungs. "Aaaaaaah!". The man looked very confused and didn't know what to do. He drew away from her quickly and took a few paces backward to the foot of her bed and stood there. He look around for how to calm her down, but found nothing. And before he knew, the door of her room flung open and her mother rushed inside with the most perturbing look on her face. She switched on the light's of the room and met her immim"What is it darling?" Lilian scooped Lilith in her arms immediately, with fear all over her face. "Mommy look over there" Lilith panicked as she pointed at the strange man who stood tall at foot side of her bed. " there is someone in my room". Lilian was very confused, because she could not see anyone in the room. Despite the fact that the lamps were switched on and whole room illuminated. But, still there was nothing or no one in sight. Who then was Lilith talking about? "But baby there is no one here" she said being c
"Who are you?" She asked him in confidence and boldness. "I would have said you were my daddy but my mommy said that my daddy has my purple eyes and hair and l have seen his pictures too to know what he looks like. So who are you?". 'Bold' he muttered to himself still staring at her in astonishment and not speaking a word. "Mister? I asked who you are" Lilith repeated as she didn't get a reply the first time and neither did she get any this time. Without speaking too, she stood from her bed and walked to her door to open it. "Where are you going?" The man finally spoke. His voice sound so rhythmic that little Lilith was very enchanted by it. He words where as if he was singing, as it had this very soothing melody. But that didn't make Lilith forget why she was at the door. "I am going to tell my mummy that you are back, so that she will tell me who you are since you have refused to me anything". "Hahaha" he burst in to laughter. His laughter was even more enchanting than his
"Lilith" Lilian called from outside her room as she knocked lightly and came in. She saw her lying on her bed and sleeping peacefully. Of course she wasn't aware that it was morning already and the beginning of the most wonderful day of her life so far. "Wake up sleepy baby" she drew her curtains to give the peeking light more right into the room as the beautiful world of Triven came into view. She tapped her a bit, trying to wake her from her slumber. "Wake up baby, it's morning already". "Hmm, hmm" Lilith groaned as she fluttered her eyes open like the wings of a butterfly, turning round her bed like she wanted to feel every part of it. "Wake up baby its morning and your first day at the institute". 'The institute!' Lilith opened her eyes immediately and stood from her bed. "Mommy l need to get ready for my first day at the institute!" She squealed. "Of course baby" Lilian chuckled "let's get you washed up first". She carried her straight to the bathroom, to get her showered.
*Nine years later*"I am so sorry baby. You were still too young to know of what happened to your father. I hid the truth from you, not because l wanted to but because l didn't want to see you hurt and ruin your childhood with your knowledge of your father's death. Please Lilith try to understand me and forgive me. Please baby would never hurt or wrong you on purpose. Please stop crying now"... Lilith sobbed to her pillow profusely, as her mother’s words reoccured to her. She just couldn't believe how her mother had hidden her in the dark for such a long time. Telling her lies that her father was a ranger among the Triven warriors. She had grown up, hoping to meet her father one day, not knowing that he was long gone. How could she have kept het in the dark for so long. She felt so hurt and pained as if her heart was about to tear apart. She still couldn't accept that her father was dead and she never got to meet him. Why was this happening to her? Not now that she had finally gr
"Hmmm something is not just right here" Lilith paced in her room with her hand creasing her chin. She just arrived at Nerwin and was trying to settle in before it gets to dinner time that they would be called to the dinning hall for their meal. She was done unpacking and she was sure she put everything in its right spot but she still wasn't satisfied with the look of the room. Although it wasn't big because it was just one of the institute's single room but she was sure that wasn't the problem because she found it just right and comfortable. The bed was cosy and the view from her window was the training ground, which was totally awesome because she would always stay training conscious. 'Then what was the problem?' She asked herself, with her eyes darting round the room like she would spot it with one roll, but she didn't. "Andreas l feel something is not right, but l don't know what it is" she turned to Andreas who just lay comfortably on her bed with crossed legs, not caring to k
She got a hug! By who? She froze for some seconds before drawing away from the hug to get a better sight of the person who hug her. "Nexine!" She called out with joy. "H... how come you are here?""Oh come on Lilith are you not happy to see me?" Nexine asked as he made his way to her bed to sit comfortably on it. "But l am" she hurried to say as she closed her door and went to sit beside him. "I am, l just wonder how you got to know my room because it has not been long l arrived". "I can't believe you just asked me that Lilith" Nexine looked at her displeased. "I am the son of grand sensei Velskud, and he is the head of of Triven's martial art's institute and all its aspiring rangers. So all l did was seek your file and and find out the room you were given and date for resumption, and here l am easy peasy" he smiled proudly, showing his perfect white teeth which really went well with his white hair, and added flash to his black eyes. Lilith looked at him with admiration. He was
"The most crime of a prince is being late to a noble counsel" king Radia raged on sighting Andreas walk through the door. "Why are you just arriving?" "I am so sorry father" he bowed to him in apology. "I take the blame for my actions and will willfully accept any punishment you wish that l suffer". "You know Andreas l have just realized that you care nothing about saving our world from this abyss, but only focus your mind and will on the useless people of Triven! You hardly spend time here with your people, nor do you search for ways with our star specialists to spot our location on the galaxy and set us free. Infact, it irritates you to help build our cosmic lumens in the reviving of our dead core. What kind of a prince are you?!" "I deeply repent of my actions father and l shall surely put my enthusiasm on bringing our world out of this void space". "Your apology changes nothing Andreas" Radia thundered again, now rising from his seat. His anger made him comb his pink mou
"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 espec
'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..
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
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
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.
"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
"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
"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
