Not Alone
Mira literally sprang out of the window as soon as the teacher left after the period. She sprinted straight to the office and surely in front of it stood Braze, Kian and Xen laughing and whispering. She breathed hard trying to restrain herself, hoping not to set the entire building ablaze. " What do you think you guys are doing? There's a Watcher inside the school. Perhaps more than one. "" Mira, relax. Meet my new cousin. " Braze pointed at Xen as he bowed. " Mira, we found everything out. He doesn't recall anything." Kian tried to explain. " How can you guys be so casual? Can this not be a trap? Men are so simple headed. "The three of them looked at her as if she had just stabbed their hearts with a dagger. Mira walked away after shoving her way from the middle of them. " Don't you think she is over reacting? " Xen asked. " Something is bothering her. " Kian put in. " There's no way she is going to tell me. " Braze smiled. A sad smile, full of pain. Kian gave his shoulde

The other connections.
" Let's go to Layla. She will give you some pills to relax. You need to sleep if you want to function properly. You can't just let another panic attack set in. "Robert hated doctors. It was a reflection of their unbothered attitude towards his problems. Most dismissed his physical ailments as mental issues and referred to psychologists. They could be of no help either because he could not share his secrets with them. Layla was an exception. She was a vet. She believed in divination,believed in the paranormal and most importantly, was always attentive to Robert's needs. Oh, I forgot to mention, she was also Quill's ex-girlfriend. Quill missed her terribly though she had already moved on. He always found issues with Robert just to go see her and spend a few more minutes watching her talk. They went to her hospital with prior notification so they had to wait. " My goodness. Robert! It has been quite long...Hasn't it?Come inside. " She called them inside her chamber the moment she arr

Decision
" What happened to her mother? Why didn't she tell me? " Braze was about to push Kian aside and rush out of the empty amphitheater but Kian pulled him back by his collar. " Probably the primary reason being that you might react like this... I shared this only because I wanted us to find a way out of this for her... not bombard her with more questions... she's disturbed.... we all are... we are still trying to adapt with our physiological changes... it surely will be difficult to handle emotional ones... "Kian was able to forcefully make Braze sit on a chair. " What are you suggesting? " he finally asked calming down a little bit. " She said she couldn't go back to her old home... " Kian began, " she is still a student. She needs to study. She is already in a school. Why would she need to go someplace else? Can't she stay here? Just like she is at the moment. "Their eyes met in a clash. " You want her to become a regular at Pamora High? Have you no clue about it's tuition? Oh, I

Similarities...
Braze's phone vibrated in his pocket as he angrily strutted out of the amphitheater. He pulled it out, very annoyed, because it won't stop buzzing even after trying to switch it off for a few times with his finger inside the pocket. His eyebrows narrowed as he saw the name. It was the lady vet. " Hello... " He immediately put his air pods on, thrusting the phone back inside his pocket again. " Oh, Hi Braze! How are you doing? " She asked. " All good. Thank you... and you? " " Good good. All good. Umm... I called to share very important news. I think I have been able to draw some similarities between your conditions and an old patient... I was just checking his blood behavior when it struck me how similar it was to yours. I can't give you all the details over the phone. Can you please come down to my office? " She asked. " Now. Right now? " Braze looked at his watch. It was way past school time. The campus was deserted. It was well past afternoon. Layla returned to her files. She

Remembrance
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Braze stammered, "Let me get you some ice or something."Layla, her lips swollen and bleeding, hesitated for a moment. "No, no, I'm fine," she replied, attempting to hide her discomfort. "It's just a small cut."Braze hurriedly fetched a tissue to help stem the bleeding from Layla's swollen lip. His hands were shook slightly as he gently dabbed at the cut."I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," he said, still visibly flustered.Layla managed a weak smile despite the discomfort. "It's alright, accidents happen."But the sight or perhaps the smell of her blood was making him uncomfortable. His throat dried up. Or perhaps it was the fact that he was too close to her face, his breath bouncing off her face. The silence between them grew increasingly awkward and we know it wasn't for the first time. As Layla looked up at Braze, her eyes fluttered. She looked away and then looked back when he wasn't looking. Finally, raze mustered the courage to break the tensi

Missing???
" What's the emergency? Why are you calling in the middle of the night? This was my first night of peaceful sleep after so many weeks , boy... why did you have to ruin it? "Xen was still rubbing his eyes as he picked Kian's call. " Braze is missing ... Mira and I have been trying to reach him... His phone's switched off... I am standing in front of the house he is staying at... the house lady says he hasn't come back... I don't know where he could be..."Xen sat up, adjusting his neck. " Why are you so worked up? He is a grown ass male. He could be anywhere... it's not like he is missing for days... "" No. It's not like that... But it's urgent... We had a small fight... with the Watchers around, it's making me worried.... I have a bad feeling about this... and so does Mira... "" Okay... okay... "Xen cut him short, " I'm on my way. Gosh! Are you a married couple? Like seriously dude... had a fight... worried about him... Ewww! You make it sound so tacky.... "Xen hung up, leaving

Into the woods
It took Xen only a few calls to pin point Braze's last location. " He went to that mountain... "Xen declared as he put his phone back in his pocket. " Alone? "" To the Mountain of Forgetfulness? "" Is he mad? What was he thinking? "Xen chose to ignore their shocked gibberish and walked forward, leading their small pack. Mira chose to keep her distance, hurdling the food pack in her hand. " What was this summoning spell Mira was talking about? Are you really a wizard? You can conjure people? " Kian was a little lost. He had no clue what had happened between Xen and Mira that night. To be fair, even Xen had no clue. What were the roots for those unholy vines of temptation that did creep all over his existence , wrapping in their intoxication? Or was it spontaneous affection that welled up from the abyss of his maligned past? He would have long forgotten about it and buried it with the other misdeeds of his past, had only Mira not reciprocated and responded to his touch. He had l

Reveal
Xen's head was hammering from the inside. It was that constant sound of metal clinking which was making him go deaf. " Don't be scared... I'm here... don't be scared... " He could hear the voice of his sister fading as the sound of the metal began louder and louder. He could feel their presence. He had no clue who they were but he knew they were not human. He was scared.And so was his sister. But sje shielded her with her body while Xen twitched and turned under her weight. " Calm down... little brother.... we cannot go out... " And then they heard their mother scream. Panic over took their little hearts and minds. " Noooo.... " His sister pleaded with her eyes but Xen could not restrain himself and let out a guttural war cry but all he wanted to do was vent out his fear. His sister hurriedly stood up and shoved her brother out of the dog-door. " Run and never come back.... " She warned as she mimicked his voice exactly and sprang out of her hiding stop in an attempt to deter t

No regret
***At Chemora - Several earth-hours after Mira's birth***Kiara lay on the ground. Her crimson feathers scattered all over the ground. Torn and plucked mercilessly as they slowly lost their colours and then withered away in front of her eyes. He had left her for dead. Kiara could still not believe it. The one whom she had once loved so dearly. The one who was the father to her child. As she tried to move a little, blood spilled out through her mouth and nose. It seemed like she had broken her rib cage in that fight. She knew her powers were nothing compared to his. " Kiara, why are you making me do this? " He flung her across as if she was nothing more than a mere insect. Kiara was no ordinary mage, yet she was the most vulnerable, the most helpless at the moment. His hands extended, his dark powers formed a circular grip around Kiara's neck and the diameter of the ring slowly compressed. " Kill me! Just kill me already! " Kiara yelled through her pain, locking her eyes direc

My sweet angel
Kiara's POV " Mira??? What is she doing here? " It had completely skipped my mind that she was in that neighbouring country as an exchange student. In running away from her, in keeping her safe, I had in reality, brought the Dark mages, right at her doorstep. Like an idiot I ran. There were a lot of them. And I was not the Kiara who was one of the best warriors that Chemora had. I was weak, I was vulnerable, barely a notch higher than those average humans. I ran harder, even though it was difficult with my feet bleeding and the thorny vegetation scraping my skin. I could feel her. She was just a few feet away from me. And I could feel them as well, swirling around the spot, scattered for the time being, for some reason. I ran and ran and then finally I bumped right into her. We both fell on either side of the bush. " Mamma? " I heard Mira's voice as I tried to get the dirt off my face. " Mamma... is that... is that really you? You came for me??? Mammaaaaaaaaa! " She fell righ
