THE ONE

"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 moustaches to control himself because he was still before other members of the counsel, not just his son. "And l am beginning to believe that you care more of the people of Triven than your own people. What is it that those worthless aging beings have enticed you with to make you want to turn against us, your true people".

"I apologize deeply again father and l promise to dedicate more of my time in setting us free and bring us back to Omania". He was already getting tired of his father's scolding, but just had to put up the so called act of a prince. 'A prince indeed' he scoffed within him. How can he see himself as a prince, when no one else sees him as one. If only his father had listen to him at the time when his words would have been more useful to their people, they would not be in this regrettable situation now. Living a life in a place they can't even spot in the galaxy and being invisible to the species of humans on Omania. Lurking behind the shadows of their valid people most especially the humans on Triven, while acting as their cause of nature. Being responsible for most of their unfortunate happenings as they see it as a way to get back at them and pour out their perpetual sorrow for being mapped out of the universe.

"Remain on the stance of your words prince Andreas" a member of the counsel lord Gerrant said calmly, as if giving him a fatherly advice. "Always keep your priorities straight and keep to them". He exhaled deeply before turning to the king. "Please king Radia let's get on with the counsel for it is of better cause than scolding the prince".

His words seemed to have extinguished the burning fire in king Radia as he sat down again with his hand still straightening his moustaches. He stay calm for long seconds and so did the whole counsel before he spoke again.

"I suppose that you being late today Andreas means that you have found the one we are looking for?" He asked his son as all eyes turned to him.

Oh great! How could he have forgotten the task handed to him few years ago after the death of so many innocent people already. 'THE ONE. The one that possess the special ability to revive lights, lights of lost world like theirs. The one that that his father has killed many Triven rangers searching for because he believes that he must be a mutant since nor normal human on Omania could possess such power. He was very sure that it must be among the mutated rangers of Triven and so he has been searching for him ever since and has even killed those he suspected them to be the one but disappointedly, there were not. Just like Phil Lilith's father. And for a fact he enjoyed every kill because it was a point to him and a minus for Triven.

But after the death of Lilith's father, he gave himself, that the task maybe assigned to him because he was fed up with all the unnecessary deaths his father was causing.

But unfortunately, he has not found him. That was exactly what got him lost before Lilith and restless since the day before.

He had his suspicions though… something within him strongly believed that it was Lilith that he had been searching for but, he had to wait four mores years to find out because that would be when she was going to go through mutation. When she will eighteen. Triven mutated their rangers at the age of eighteen. Sadly, he was sure his father could not wait four years to hear from him, so he had to think of something to say right now and he was be fast about it.

His heart sank, his fists clenched and his mind just seemed to black totally, void of any interesting ideas. He always felt like that whenever the constellation day was drawing near, not just because it reminds him of bad memories but because he was already running short of words to use to cover himself up, just like now.

"Eh.. Em" he starmmered before clearing his throat and beginning again. "I have not found the mutant that weilds the light ability in Triven. Perhaps, the mutant we are looking for might not hail from Triven but from other worlds in Omania".

"That's nonsense prince Andreas" lord Varnaak objected. He was another member of the counsel and a very troublesome one. "The people of Triven where the ones who used their powerful convergence against us last time and ever since then, our core has refused to bring forth its light to redeem us from this darkness and help us find our way out. I strongly believe that the light mutant is among their silly rangers and you have just failed to find him!".

"Calm down Lord Varnaak" Radia tried to make him hold his peace before he spoke. "I agree with you. The people of Triven have the light powered mutant among them but we just have not found him because someone has been lousy lately" he gave Andreas a glare showing how disappointed he was at him.

"Hmmm" he breathed deeply, as he supported his forehead with his left palm with his elbow rested on the arm of his chair. "Leave my sight" he declared at last, obviously to Andreas which got the whole counsel shocked.

It has never been heard of that the prince of Gorgor was sent out of the noble counsel. Infact, he was in charge of the noble counsel and should lead it, not be sent out of it. But however, Andreas did not argue with Radia. For he knew better than to stand there and utter words that would be meaningless chatter to his father. And the other members of the counsel knew how stubborn he was and didn't bother to talk to him. He simply bowed to his honor and turned his back to leave but stopped on the words of his father.

"And never return till you are certain that you have found the mutant. I will only allow you here if you bring him to me alive and well, ready to do my bidding. Now leave before l make you lost too!" Radia yelled after him obviously angered and raged.

Andreas didn't reply to his words nor did he show any act of plea. He exited the counsel room and went back to Omania, straight to Triven. He understood his father’s anger and was sure he had failed him and his whole world too. He really hope to restore their world and if he was to succeed, he sure was at the right place. Where the mutated rangers of Triven are being trained and formed to become the so called heroes they are.

He must not fail! He must discover the light mutant and bring him to his father, whomever it might be and whatever it might cost!
