"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. * After getting her ready in her favorite color, a purple top and purple crossing belt shorts. She tied her purple long wavy hair into a beautiful ponytail, and her feets were covered in black boots. "You look great darling" Lilian admired her own daughter, giving her a sweet peck. "Thanks mommy" Lilith smiled sweetly to her mom and turned to her mirror to look at her own reflection. She believed she looked beautiful and loved the fact that she was looking good in her favorite color. "Mommy where is my backpack?" She asked suddenly as she turned back to her mom. "Oh baby sorry l forgot, l will go get it now its in my room". Lilian hurried out of the room to get her backpack, leaving her alone in her room to keep admiring herself in the mirror. "You look gorgeous Lilith". Lilith felt her soul jump out of her flesh from fear as she saw that her reflection wasn't the only one visible in the mirror. It was Andreas, he squatted right behind her and his head was peeking from the crook of her neck with his eyes staring directly into hers through the mirror. "Andreas!" She turned to him immediately and gave him a tight hug. "You scared me to death, don't ever do that again" she pouted. "Sorry dear Lilith" he said with a smile. "Its ok" she drew away from the hug. "Its my first day at the kid rangers institute of north east Triven, my region. I want to study and become a powerful ranger in the future, just like my daddy" she said proudly with her hands on her waist and her nose in the air. "Well that's thrilling" Andreas breathed. Of course she wanted to be one of the people that had him and his people lost in a star. However, she was just a little girl and didn't yet understand alot of things. This was just her big dream and the only thing she probably desired from him was support, and he was sure to give it to her awaiting the day she shall be able to understand the real world, as it really was not from the pages of her story book. "I am happy for you, and l am sure you will make a great ranger even better than your daddy". "Thank you so much Andreas. I will not let you, my daddy nor my mommy down" she hugged him again but drew away quickly when she heard the sound of her mother's voice, she was approaching her room. "See you later Andreas" she whispered, waving at him as he just disappeared into thin air winking at her. "Honey l have your backpack!" Lilian announced as she entered the room. She put the bag aside on her bed and carried her straight to the dinning table. "Time for breakfast darling. Your ride will be here soon". "Oh yes the air bus" Lilith was very excited. She has always wanted to take a ride on the air bus, everytime she saw the other Triven children that were of age for kid's institute hop in to be taken to their institutes. Well now, she was going to enter the bus herself and ride on the air 'Cool!'. She thought with a smile. She rushed her breakfast, it was pancakes and milk. "Easy baby. You might choke on your food" Lilian teased. Lilith didn't bulge at her words as she munched on the last piece of her pancake and rushed to her room to carry her backpack. "l am ready mommy!" She railed down the stairs, standing before her mother with pride. "Good baby girl because the air bus is here!" "It's here!" She ran to the front door and swung the door open to behold the bus waiting at her doorstep. "Hop in Lilith Amnell" the bus driver beckoned, and she didn't waste time to hop into the bus. "Good bye mommy!" "Bye baby! Have a splendid first day!". * The kids ranger institute of north east Triven was a sight to behold. They were children here and there that were dropped by the air buses that came in and out of the institute. Within minutes, all the children formed a single file by the institute staff, as they stepped into the main building by the order of the sensei in charge of taking in new kid rangers and assigning them to their various classes. "Attention children" a voice echoed from the loud speaker that was high up the main building. Everywhere went calm as the sound caught the attention of all the children. "Please step forward to bare your ranger names and take your level up bracelets". The staff of the institutes helped them remain in the order as they walked to the sensei one after the other. "I am so excited to be here" a boy behind Lilith spoke by her ear. "Me too" she turned to him with a bright smile. "I am Nexine" he offered his hand to her in friendship. "Oh ok, l am Lilith" she took his hand. Their discussion was about to go futher but Lilith realized she was directly before the sensei. "Hi" she smiled at him but he didn't return the smile. "Lilith Amnell" he called sternly. "Here is your level up bracelet" he put the black bracelet on her small wrists. "Your progress in this institute during your stay here will be projected from it through your level up bars. Enter the kid rangers institute, get assigned to your class and determine to be a ranger of Triven"...*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
"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
'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.
