" Lord Kilian, you must not suffer like this. "Sitara placed her hand over Kilian's shoulder affectionately but one sharp look from him was enough to get her to move it. " What does it look like? " He asked the medical practitioner tending to Kiara's wound. The practitioner shook his head. " She will not survive. All I can do is give her some sedatives so it's less painful. " Kilian sat down beside him and looked in his eyes, " Is there nothing that we can do to help her? "The practitioner shook his head." I am afraid not, Lord Kilian. She must have known it was suicide coming back inside Chemorian atmosphere after taking on a human form for so long. What was she thinking? "Kilian sat there in absolute silence as the practitioner administered some Intravenous injections making her groans subside. " How long does she have? " Kilian asked, his expression difficult to read. " It's impossible to say. It would be safe to say she lives as long as she keeps fighting with her dying b

" Boys, can you hear me! "Kilian's voice made all three of them drop whatever they were doing, even Kian paid his full attention while dodging one swing after another from Razzak's spade. " I have mobilised my troop. We don't have much time. I know Mira is still alive because they are waiting for the stars to align but that does not guarantee her safety. Do you have the Staff with you? "" No! But I think I am close. Can you hear what I am saying? ”Kian yelled at the air which left Razzak surprised. " Whom are you talking with? How? ” She leaped at him but he effectively dodged her again this time. " Don't worry, I have tuned into Chemorian frequency and I can hear you guys just fine... at least for some time. "" Kian, are you sure that you are close?Where are you? Shouldn't we get to you and help you instead of hunting in the dark? " " Xen he can't hear you directly. I will have to let him know. Let me ask guide you to where he is. We don't have much time.Let me help you while

" Where is Braze and Kian? "Xen yelled as they almost heckled him and took him to another chamber. His hands were cuffed even though they said they just wanted to talk. It irked Xen a lot and he felt like punching each one in their face. The ones who had brought him there, left without answering his question, leaving him fuming with more rage . " Calm down dear boy! Rage is not good for those that come from your tribe. "Xen looked around but saw no one. Then the door flung open and a very old looking man entered. He smiled at Xen and then closed the door behind him and it was only Xen and himself, in that chamber. " Let me introduce myself dear boy, I am a retired Watcher and I used to go by the name, Big Boy. "Xen did not reciprocate his smile. " I believe that you might be well aware of your roots. "He stared into Xen's eyes as if reading his thoughts. " Not a problem dear boy. That's what we are here for. Let me show you something. Something that I had documented mysel

Mira was dreaming. It had been awhile since she had that pleasure. Those nightmares had been clogging her brain and soul but she was feeling strangely free and elevated. She was floating. But there were knots tying her down. She could feel those knots at her pit.They did not hurt but sure they were uncomfortable.She saw herself sleeping in her dream but she was floating as she slept. The wind tool her over the clouds and from there the earth sparkled below. It was blue and green. Gradually she saw it's colours changing. There were myriad mists that started hovering over it like fog. Mists of all colour and shapes, as if they were part of a rainbow. Mira kept sleeping as the landscape below her transformed. It was no longer earth but the terrains of her home planet, Chemora. Mira reached out to cover her eyes, because the sun shone too bright and it seemed like it had come closer. She tried to lift her head and see where she was but a pair of gentle hands thrust her down.

Xen was running for his life. There was a giant chasing him and it kept calling him.He was back in his nightmare in a narrow, lonely alley. He found himself trapped in his own thoughts. Darkness surrounded him, making it hard to breathe. He felt like something bad was about to happen.Then, he saw a flickering streetlight ahead, making creepy shapes on the ground. There was something on the floor—a sharp knife. It looked dangerous, shining in the dim light.He felt drawn to touch it, even though he was scared. When his hand met the cold metal, he felt a shock through his body.The metal morphed and shifted, just like his own hand. His hand no longer looked human neither did the metal look like a knife, it was a Staff all along. He knew that he was sweating. He knew that he wasn't awake. Yet he failed to wake up, instead he travelled to another dimension. There lay the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, lying on clouds, unaware that he was staring.He went closer. He wanted to f
