2020-02-16 01:53:58General Isoog and Daraton bowed their heads. Yes, it was the King. My heart pumped so hard against my chest. I felt that Ponpon peered upward to look at the King, too.
We were ordered to turn around and bowed to him. He was several paces away from us, as usual. It was because of the law that he made himself, to protect himself, of course.
He looked at me like he was mocking me. “Xerra, I wish to talk to you alone, child,” he added.
I glanced at the General and he nodded. Then, he ordered everyone to leave while he and Daraton stepped farther to give me and the King some space. I remained where I stood, waiting for him to say anything more. I kept my face neutral. I hoped it was not a resting bitch face.
I wondered what it was he wanted to talk to me. Then, I remembered Rugien’s words about his father looking for another Queen. My fists clenched tightly at my sides as I looked at the King but with a straight face.
“You’re not going to ask me what it is?”

I was assigned to guard the palace hall together with Jegosh and Frith for three days now. Frith was near the door while Jegosh and I were near the walls that were on either side of the throne.I wondered why Frith was with us when he was not a rookie like us. It was a not-exciting job. I’d rather be outside of the palace grounds or the palace gates where it would be busier than to watch the King’s empty throne, especially at this time which was early morning. Our schedule was graveyard. It was too quiet and I was already bored to death.At around this time, I would have been done with my running around the Aiglean Forest, already took some bark juice for my sister… I suddenly shook my head mentally. The thought of her made my heart feel heavy and wary. I wondered what she was doing right now, if she was safe, and if she was doing house chores like any ordinary days. I also wondered if she just stayed at home or visited some friends and neighbors just like she does somet

Rugien’s piercing green eyes shifted to Jegosh’s. “And who do you think you’re asking, warrior?” he asked coldly.Jegosh’s throat muscle bobbed up and down. He didn’t know if he would answer it or not and how. I felt sorry for him. We all knew that Rugien was acting like the Grand Crown Prince that he was and it demanded respect. But I was different. And it was different for me. I couldn’t call it anything whether it was respect or freedom, which didn’t matter for me at all. And yet, being civil was also necessary whenever time and situations call for it.“He… he doesn’t mean it. Please forget what he said, Grand Prince,” I butted in instead, without looking at him but straight ahead.He looked at me but only for a moment. Then he ordered Frith and Jegosh to get out, leaving us alone in the huge hall, although Jegosh hesitated for a moment or two. It made me nervous—this side of him. But why? I didn’t know if I’d act normally or not. I didn’t know how to deal with

Rugien chuckled and slowly let go of my hands though he didn’t seem to want to. He put them inside his pockets to keep them from touching me again. I slightly bit my lower lip and smiled at him as he gave me a glance after he called out Frith and Jegosh to come back to their respective posts. After a moment or two, the two warriors were back and stood alert, as the prince gave them an approving look.Rugien took a couple of steps and stopped to look at both warriors. “Listen carefully both of you. And if possible, you tell the others that none of you can touch Xerra in any manner, whether or not it is necessary, whether or not I’m around, and whether it is accidental or not. I will not tolerate that any of you touch what’s mine. Understood?”“Yes, Grand Prince,” the two answered without hesitation. Their backs were stiff as a stick.I rolled my eyes and chuckled but didn’t say a word. Rugien gave me a smile and a wink before he left without another word, but it sti

Just when I quietly went out of the double doors, a warrior spotted me. I cursed and ran away as he chased me down the seemingly endless hall. Others followed him and suddenly he was before me. I abruptly halted. How could he be so fast? It was like he just teleported.I swallowed as I was surrounded by five elite warriors like me. Judging by the first warrior who spotted me, he wasn’t a weakling at all. With his remarkable agility, he could be a better fighter than me.I slowly took out Ponpon from the scabbard. “Are you sure about this?” he asked in a loud whisper, looking at the warriors who took out their own weapons that I’d never seen before.They had high-tech guns that would surely destroy me if I got hit. But I guess what they had in their hands were far more high-tech and sophisticated than the ones I saw at the Banatan. I heard that some of these were laser beams that would turn something—or someone like me in that matter—into nothingness—like it had nev

I was so worried. My sister was all alone. And… and the King might take the chance to… I refused to think about it. I mentally shook my head. Then I looked at Rugien, scowling.“It didn’t occur to me to tell you about it. Besides, you didn’t ask the King’s whereabouts. You didn’t wonder why he wasn’t sitting in his throne for the past few days? You’ve been assigned there for more than three days now.”Yes, it just occurred to me when he said all this. The days that I was assigned to the palace hall where the throne was placed was empty. I didn’t even have any idea why he wasn’t there. Right. I was too busy thinking about Rugien and the preparations for the selection of the Grand Crown Princess. I was too blind to see why the King wasn’t present there at all. Really! I acted so stupid and illogical lately.I slapped my forehead, feeling dumb. “Can I go out of the palace?”Rugien looked at me. “You can’t. It’s against the law. If you’re not ordered to do

How could Rugien read my mind while blocking his? I wondered once again. I caught his sly smile while looking at me. I pursed my lips.“You know what? You’re so unfair!” I complained.He snorted to tease me more. “Are you done eating? Are you full?”“You keep shoving food into my mouth. Yes, I am! Why?” I raised my chin, feeling irritated on how he was treating me right now.He then took my hand, raised it, and kissed it. It was so sudden that I was speechless. The subtle electricity traveled all over my body, stopping in the centermost of it. He stood up and almost dragged me out of the Warriors’ Hall.“Don’t you have to change so we can discreetly go out of the palace to visit your sister?” he quietly asked and glanced at me with a toothless smile.It was like he was playing with my feelings, taking things lightly even though they mattered a lot to me. I wanted to cry all of a sudden because of his teasing and playing at my expense. The corners

Right, Shahrae didn’t know the story yet. So, I explained it to her. She was speechless with amazement. I laughed at her then.“I didn’t know this would happen. But you know what? I do really love him. And… and I know that he feels the same… although it’s too fast, isn’t it?”But my sister just slowly grinned with a dreamy look on her face. Right, she was a hopeless romantic. I should’ve remembered that.I cleared my throat. “But I have no doubts about it. And… he’s done everything for me… to keep me safe… to help and support me even though I don’t ask for it… He’s just amazing, Shahrae.” I told her everything what I felt for Rugien—that this wasn’t superficial or anything that was fake or impossible or even infatuation. This was real. Everything was real between the two of us. Fast-paced it may be but I had no complaints about it. I was feeling lucky with him and to have him. I wouldn’t feel like this if I weren’t. I just knew it for myself. Deep inside in my hear

After a few moments, I asked Rugien that we go to Zelian’s house. I explained to him that the elder was the only one I could trust that could protect my sister while I am not around. And he could do something about this situation, too. I was sure of it.Zelian welcomed us in his home, which was only a couple blocks away from ours. It was near the farm field where he grew his favorite hot spice plant. It was known to be not from our world but I had no idea where it came from. I had already tried eating it mixed with some dishes and I loved how it burned my mouth as I kept on eating it. It was like a challenging food.From the kitchen window, the wide farm looked bountiful and nice, with the red-orange sun bathing the refreshing view of the beautiful horizon. The green plants bore small yellow and red fruits, which were hot and spicy.I sipped the glass of fruit juice that was offered to us by Zelian’s wife, Dalrina. I thanked her with a smile and she exited to leave

The celebration was held at the palace ground that very same night. Foods and drinks were served in a matter of less than thirty dots. It would last until midday. And before that was over, the prisoners of Uzob were all freed and joined this rare celebration. It must have been a very historic day for everyone in the Aryan world.But before that, Miryeob and my sister Shahrae, together with Kaiyahv, had a priceless reunion. It filled my heart with warmth and joy as they embraced each other. I smiled watching this happy moment for our family. I watched them with a smile on my face. They were talking animatedly like they really had a lot to talk about. Well, I thought that was true since it had been a long time since they had been separated from each other. Thinking that my sister’s father was already dead, there was indeed a lot to catch up. The whole evening would not suffice it, I’m sure.Rugien embraced me from behind, watching the scene that I was focused on. The King

“Free all the prisoners in Uzob. The only thing they did wrong was go against the impostor king. That means they’re all innocents,” Rugien said. He then informed them where Uzob was located.They nodded. They were about to go when Rugien halted them. “One other thing.” He glanced at me first before he continued. “Frith’s body.”“We’re going to take care of it,” Bullox said. “Right now, he’s going to be washed clean by a couple of our fellow warriors before he’s going to be sent to his family. That’s the least we can do for him at the moment.”However, Rugien shook his head. “No. Frith can still be brought back to life. Will talk to Healer Ulf regarding this matter.”I snorted. “Huh? Are you saying that he still has the chance to be alive even after his life source is sucked by the Creyer?” I asked Rugien about that unbelievable suggestion.He turned to me and all eyes were on him now. “The old palace healer has found something in their research, Xerra.

It was then that Rugien and I grabbed it at the same time that it was taken away from Isoog like his strength diminished. Together, we thrust the staff through his chest and to his heart. Blinding light erupted from within and it seemed that he just melted into a mist, into nothingness, only to appear the real King.I knew it the moment his green eyes were settled on Rugien. The Grand Crown Prince could tell it, too, that it was his real father.“Father!” He embraced the older man.The two males looked happy with this reunion. Well, who wouldn’t? I looked at the staff that was now solely in my hand. I couldn’t feel its surging power now. But I didn’t care. All is well now. My eyes met Zelian’s who stepped closer to us. He bowed to the two royalties and so did the others, including the Furezos and the remaining elite warriors. It looked like there was less than half of their number that was still alive.“Zelian! It’s been a long time since I last saw you,” the

As the General told me his real name, he attacked me with a whip that he manifested. I barely realized that the name of his brother’s staff was Creyer, which was taken from his name after all. The impostor loved his brother dearly—it was crystal clear to see. It was quite admirable. I could understand since I had a precious sister that I loved so much.Anyway, it was good I was fast enough to dodge his attack. My poniard blocked it the second time, which was caught by it. In turn, I pulled it and slashed it. His hold was broken. I quickly bluffed a thrust but attempted to slash his leg. He was quick to dodge both times it was amazing. He was amazing. I gave him that. However, he just got motionless all of a sudden.I whipped around to look behind me to see who it was. Of course, it was Frith. He used his favorite weapon, the needle, which made the General paralyzed. I smiled, satisfied, at the unmoving Crey.I then paid attention to Rugien and the King who are stil

“Or you’re going to break my neck? Is that it?” I sarcastically told him but my hand was still tightly holding my weapon. I refused to be threatened by him despite of the current situation.Rugien suddenly made a more-than-a-superbeing move. He stood right in front of us in less than a split dot. His face was grim that I’d never seen before. His eyes burned with fire as he looked at the General of the Elite Aryan Army.“Ah, my son!” The King followed as well after a dot passed by.I looked at his Creyer. With this distance, I could probe into the King’s mind. However, it was blocked somehow. He looked at me with a mocking and evil grin. He shook his head unaffectedly.“I know your ability, Xerra. However, you cannot use it against me.” He paused. “Even you, Rugien. No matter how powerful you are.” He turned to the Grand Crown Prince.Rugien reached out to my mind, I realized. I let him probe into mine. Now he knew what I discovered. His face went grimme

The Furezos spread out quickly and with agility that I’d never witnessed before. I realized that they indeed worked hard to be able to defend themselves and to protect their land against the King, although it was unsuccessful until now. The King and General Isoog just got out from the flying capsules, which obviously warped from the palace to get here quietly and quickly.I ducked when a flying sword was aimed at my direction. I quickly ran to take cover behind a tree. The leipods or simply called as follow-the-enemy flying weapons were deployed all over us to automatically track and attack us. They were as big as an Aryan hand with a triangular shape and steel gray color. They flew without sound, hence perfect for surprise attacks as well. Once it sees and locks in on its target, it won’t stop until the target is terminated.“Execute all the rogue warriors and the rebels!” I heard the King’s command.I swallowed and looked at my poniard that was in my hand.
XERRA Chapter 51
I thought it was me but Kaiyahv commanded her people who were about to attack me and Kalith. My troop, on the other hand, surrounded us even though we were literally outnumbered. But we had advantage of the technology of the Elite Aryan Army. If what we had would be used properly, combined with our own powers and skills, there was no way that we’d be defeated by the Furezos. The Elite Aryan Army was named as so.“I just need your head to be delivered to the King,” I said.“But you heard what Harrupero said! We didn’t and hadn’t raided the Nazian tribe!” Kaiyahv insisted.I decided to probe into her thoughts to know if she was telling us the truth, if she hadn’t ordered it so. But what I saw in her thoughts surprised me. I saw Miryeob’s younger version, saw her talk to my mother before she became a Queen, and grieved when she heard about her brother’s fake death as well as my mother’s.“What do you see in my mind, Xerra?” she demanded, haltingly as my hand was

I was really astonished upon hearing that. Their leader was a female Aryan being? Well, that was interesting. Indeed!Wait, was it her that I saw in the mind of the Furezo who got imprisoned in Uzob?I signaled Kalith to come to us. He did so in an instant, leaving Bullox and the others to gather the captives, while some injured elite warriors did their best to revitalize their energy. They still had to hear what order I would give them after this. Belatedly, I decided to call on Jegosh as well.“You deliver this message to the King. Tell him that I will meet the leader of the Furezos and I will negotiate for him,” I spoke with the playful Jegosh. I believed that something would happen if I were to send him, judging by his personality. “If I cannot get back to the palace, I’ll have Kalith deliver a message as soon as possible. For now, don’t make the King do anything against the Furezo tribe for an entire day.”Jegosh nodded although his forehead formed some

Other elite warriors who were not expecting it were caught by the smoke. They already coughed and groaned. Well, I could just imagine how they feel now, as I experienced it at the Banatan. I knew they felt like dying right now.I transformed into my Arcturian self, using my black aura to cleanse the smoke. As soon as the air was cleared out, my fellow elite warriors that were affected got back their strength and were healed. Then they used their clear helmets as well.They dashed toward the Black Forest where blazing arrows kept coming at us. It was like more than hundreds of them. However, the elite warriors easily managed to parry them now and those were rendered useless. I could now make out the people who were as black as the black trees of the Black Forest. No wonder why it was called Black Forest and why their hiding place couldn’t be found even after numerous raids that the King had made all these years. Thus, only the innocents were killed. That was indeed a pity
