Turning her head to the left, Natasha’s blue eyes were then looking at a thin, dark-haired boy and was shorter than both her and Lucas. He looked to be about around twelve to fourteen years old and just like Lucas—as Natasha noticed—was clad in a similar apparel of a loose pasty white shirt and brown rumpled pants.
“You’re awake!” the boy beamed and Natasha caught his inflected accent.
“Yeah,” Lucas responded, introducing Natasha to the boy. “this is Sang.” -“Hi, Sang,” said Natasha - “he’s the one who found us when we-we. . .got here.”
“Already walking,” said Sang, his light brown face still beaming, looking at Natasha, “that progress very good.”

Don't know where to start—”His voice trailed off and he turned his head towards the open wooden door.Both Natasha and Lucas followed his gaze and were soon staring at a tall man of slim built but a lean body covered in large baggy brown pants and a long white shirt with a Mandarin collar similar to that of Natasha's silk dress. The shirt had its sleeves rolled up to his elbows and was holding in his right hand a bundle of three silvery slabs that glinted sleek in the light. They were fish.The man said something to Sang that neither Natasha nor Lucas could understand, but Lucas suspected he was speaking in Nepalese.Sang spoke back to hi

Natasha, Lucas and Sang were setting down a small round table at the heart of the village which was one of the many similarly placed tables—about twenty of them—all positioned in a circular manner such that there was a vast empty space in between. Sang had gone on to explain what was particularly happening that night. The night that had Natasha wear an immaculately flowing dark red dress, decorated with white lotus flowers and large jade buttons cascading from the Mandarin collar at her neck all the way to her ankles. Even her blond hair had been done, pulled t

She then got the urge to pull herself out of bed after which came the hard part—standing. Natasha heaved herself up ever so painfully, fighting through her upset legs and finding the walking staff that Sang had give her, propped its arm rest under her right shoulder and the pressure on her legs loosened. She exhaled and made for the door. Outside, Natasha could see people going about their business in the rising sun that was barely visible over the horizon. She realized that she had gotten up a bit earlier. Cows were being herded out onto the small patches of grass while others were being milked.

He had said shortly before summoning all of his might and burst through the wrecked ground, moving so fast that debris was sailing all around him. He had just witnessed the supposed death of Viper and Lucas, having seen how Elektris had used Reign on them, destroying them to nothing.

I really do hope it coined a spot in your libraries and with all that said, don't forget to drop a comment, a vote and also share this story to your fellow readers.Thank you.All characters, products & locations depicted in this literal set are fictitious and derivative of the writer's imagination. Any similarity to actual persons living or dead is simply coincidental; no infringement inferred.&nb

She was about to go inside when—"Diana, over here, " she spun around to spot Nick seated on one of the tables set outside the restaurant. There was a couple talking and laughing in one; a mother wiping away a drop of ketchup that had dripped on her son's shirt and then there was Nick."Hi," Diana said, taking a seat and facing Nick."Hey," his dark hair was short, matching his dark eyes as he beamed at her."Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you," Diana bit her lower lip that was as red as her hair.Nick rested his hands on the table, ushering her to go on.
