She followed the sound of the voices and found the people speaking. They stood close to the great Saphire fountain and talked loudly like they were sure they were not being heard. She drew closer and it seemed like they were in a heated argument but she still couldn't see their faces because it was dark and the lights around were not bright enough but just to make sure the school does not run out of colors during night time. "Hey!" she called to them when she got close enough that they could hear her. "What are you guys doing out here and why are you disturbing the peace of the school?" she asked boldly but received no reply except that one of them opted to walk closer to her but the other held him back. "She must be sleep walking" he stated but it was clear in the sound of his voice that he was lying. "Don't cause a scene" he warned. Wait! That voice, she knew it very well. "Andreas? Is that really you?" she called hoping it was really him but that seemed like it was a really
" First, Rain against Linthorn then Lilith against Florate, Lyra against Steve, Nex against Dodge, Shevan against..." "Combating each other?" Lilith scoffed "What a wonderful way to congratulate us for making it to the final level". "Why are you so irritated Lilith" Florate's voice sounded a lot deeper than it was four years ago. He was now even taller with broader chest and shoulders and he looked very handsome as well. He had his muscled arm hung over Rain's shoulder and it seemed to be weighing her down but she didn't complain. "Are you scared that I will beat you" he smirked at her. "Oh please" she snorts. "Get over yourself Florate. How about you try the other way around". "Oh my, I am so scared" he mocked. "Just you wait, when it's the both of us within that circle l will make sure your tall body falls to the floor in the most painful way" he clenched his fists, with his green orbs glaring directly at her purple eyes and giving it a message he was very sure she could unders
Thank you for giving this book a read. Love you ❤"Five, four, three, two, one! Ready or not here l come". Lilian, a young woman in her early thirties calls aloud as she uncovers her eyes. She was playing a game of hide and seek with her five year old daughter Lilith in their small apartment. "Now where could you be" She asked rhetorically as she looks around the sitting room, behind and beside her cushions, under the center table, behind the fridge, and every where else in the sitting room with a slight look of fustration on her face. "Honey" she called out to her baby girl. "You know you were supposed to hide only within the sitting room and l suppose you are not here at all" she continued still looking around with her eye balls rolling around the sitting room. From up to down, left to right, till her eyes met something she was drawn to. A small cupboard beside the all screen TV. 'That's it!' She said to herself with joy. That's where Lilith was hidding, and she was sure she could
"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
"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

Lilith scoffed "What a wonderful way to congratulate us for making it to the final level". "Why are you so irritated Lilith" Florate's voice sounded a lot deeper than it was four years ago. He was now even taller with broader chest and shoulders and he looked very handsome as well. He had his muscled arm hung over Rain's shoulder and it seemed to be weighing her down but she didn't complain. "Are you scared that I will beat you" he smirked at her. "Oh please" she snorts.

Lilith had been staring at her own reflection in the mirror for quite some time now. She had retired to her room since early that evening only to find it empty till now. Andreas was no where to be found and she was starting to get worried. She had even skipped dinner just to wait for him but he was out of sight. "Where could he be?" she wondered with her eyes still focused on her reflection. She wasn't really looking at any thing in particular, nor was she admiring herself. She was only too bored and settled to look at herself. "OK that's it". She gave up on looking at herself in the mirror and stood up from where she sat. She walked to her window and looked outside to behold the beautiful night sky, so peaceful. She rolled her eyes round the serene environment to find that it wasn't so peaceful anyway. She spotted about three people down the training arena which was totally normal because every time here was training time. The grounds and training equipments were open to a
"Where is she?" "I have not seen her since after the class" Lilith sighed. It was Rain. She had left them abruptly after the class and has been out of sight since. They suppose it must be because of the discovery they made earlier during the class, concerning their dominant emotions. It was not weird that she was spacing out afterall, her dominant emotion was the only disturbing one. Lilith's was love, Lyra's was appreciation of beauty, Linthorn's was interest, Steve's was amusement, Nex's was desire and Florate's was admiration. It was really awkward that her's was fear and maybe she decided to space out a bit she must be in a very bad mood now. But what could she be afraid of? "l will go see if she is in her room" Florate suggested before leaving Lilith who simply nodded at what he said. "Oh and..." he stopped and turned to her. "Yes?" she raised a brow. "When l return with Rain in a better mood, prepare to tell us the reason why love is your dominant emotion, l am quite sure
"l cannot believe l am sharing a class with him" Lilith looked at Nex with disgust written all over her face. Out of the two hundred and sixteen level one aspirants that took the test of courage, seven of them passed with distinction and fifty six others passed with credits making it a total of sixty three level two aspirants. Lilith and her team members got the half bar reward they were promised and it indeed made them top aspirants now. Hence, they were put under the care of one sensei, sensei Helia including Nex who passed with distinction as well while the others were shared fourteen aspirants under each sensei.Throughout their first class, Lilith, Rain and Florate felt so uneasy having Nexine there with them. They were not comfortable at all with his presence and their reasons were totally understandable, judging from what happened at the test, who knows, he might do what is worst now."Me neither" Rain concurred. "l feel this shadow of thread tying my whole being whenever l l
"l am very proud of you". Andreas stroked Lilith's loose hair as he spoke. "l had no doubts you would pass the test with distinctions". "Yes l passed the test of courage but..." she looked up at him to meet his eyes. "But what?" he asked her as he cupped her face. Even though it was dark, the light of the moon that had it's way through the window into her room illuminated it, making him able to see her face clearly. "lt's my emotions" she breathed. "What about them?" " l made an 'A' in all other bars but got a 'B' in my emotional mastery". She looked away from him disappointed at her own self. "And why is that?" he traced her jaw line as he spoke. "lt's Nexine". At the mention of his name, Andrea's face turned sour. "What mayhem did he cause this time?" "He had abducted Rain during the test and l have no idea why but l honestly believed it was because of me so l felt this hurt within me that Rain was in danger because of me. I lost hold of my emotions, believing l brought th
"Linthorn?" Florate called as he could not spot him any where. He just wanted to make sure they were successful and he really hoped they were because having Nex win was not something he was going to enjoy. "Lyra? Steve?" he called again but no answer. He looked at Nex and saw that he too was searching for his so called trusted teammates but at least he found them, they where lying on the floor like the other maimed ones. But where were his team. He glanced at Rain and Lilith and found out through the look on their faces that they too had the same thoughts, where were they?. Before he could talk to them about it, a door they didn't even know existed opened at the north wall of the room and Linthorn, Lyra and Steve walked out of it. " Guys!..." Linthorn called out in joy but was shut up by the next loud voice they heard which was surely the grand sensei's. Sense Velskud. "Congratulations to you seven. I now pronounce you level two aspirants of Triven. You have all past the t
Florate? He is here! She squealed within her in joy but didn't make her loose gaurd. Nex was distracted, she could feel it and now the right time to attack! She fluttered her eyes open and as fast as she could act, pulled Nex's head down to hers and gave him a hard head bump. She didn't wait for him to yelp in pain before she gave him a hard kick which brought him down on his back and she did not hesitate to get on top of him and began raining on him a very hard punches upon punches. He was still receiving the blows before Shevan came to his aid, though a bit too late but he really needed the save. "Rain watch out!" Lilith yelled from where she stood before she made to help her out but Rain didn't seem like someone who needed help in handling the situation. She was pulled off Nex by Shevan but she gave him a hard elbow blow on stomach and as he cowered in pain, she hit his head hard against a tree beside him which made him drop on the floor. "Rain are you alright" Lilith
Rain was reganing consciousness bit by bit. She was not fully aware of what was going on around her at the moment but she could tell she was in someone's arms. Florate? No his scent was different and so were his clothes. Florate's gi was green but the one who was carrying her now was in a black gi. She tried to look up to his face but the sun blinded her eyes however, she managed to catch a glimpse of his hair. White! This was definitely not Florate, where was he?' Did he leave her? she asked herself with worry. She was still down with the thoughts before what should have been her priority at the moment clicked in her head.' Who was carrying her? She asked herself. White hair? Black gi? Now who wears a black gi and has a white hair?' she thought quickly within her before finding her answer :Nex! What on Omania would he want from her? Or was he planning on killing her instead of maiming her? Whichever it was, she has to find out first before acting because jumping out of his hand
