In a barren land where multiple fissures surfaced, the cloud loomed over two creatures facing each other. No living things could be seen within the perimeter; swept clean.The armageddon had served its purpose, making the woman with red eyes grin in contentment. It had been long ago since she gazed into that blue orbs, now fainting grey."Mherkealla," she whispered. The lady, whom she called panted and fell on her knees. The wound she procured depleted her energy; she couldn't stand. Her hair dangled, but was too drained to even move a finger."Give me the book," Olga demanded. Her voice echoed, like a strong wind going with a storm. Mherkealla smirked. "I swear to protect this book with my life, Olga. If I die, I'll take it with me," Mherkealla said, hoarsely. Her consciousness was slowly fading. Another drop of blood.Olga traced Mherkealla's being and a sly smile formed from her lips. She found the bravery an obtuse act. If only Mherkealla could understand better, things wouldn
"Rohama! Rohama!"My hands desperately fumbled around my bed for a pillow to cover my head. However, I wasn't able to grab one. All of it must be on the floor since I slept like a baby changing position every minute.The banging continued. It appears like the one knocking aimed to bust my door. It didn't take long when my mom's face materialized in my mind like a hologram screaming my name. The heck! "Rohama!"The yell was longer than the first one, indicating her annoyance and a warning saying the words: move your butt, lazybone.I jolted out of the bed, and with eyes still half-closed swung the door open. Lailanie, my mom, stood firm with her plump body facing me directly. Her gaze scrutinized my whole being, like I'm some kind of report material for a thesis.Jeez! It was so early in the morning. Bet the sun was still warming up to rise."Yes, mom?" I managed, suppressing a yawn. My body still ached for sleep. My eyes were tired as well. I glanced at my bed, and it was shining, a
Silence. A few strand of his business cut hair fell in the middle of his deep set eyes, he arranged them emulating a shampoo model I've seen in TV commercials.I winced upon the sight and regretted that I did. His shoulders moved, followed by a long hearty laughter which reverberated inside our small home."I win again," Rob said, still giggling."I can't stand such ugly face," I reasoned, it made him laugh even more. I intend to vex him using sharp comments but it never happened. I was always the one getting riled even involving simple things. I frowned."We have the same genes. Don't you forget, all people see our resemblance and can easily distinguish we are siblings."He got a point. Hence, it made me wonder why we were still different. He, for example had a lot of friends. When I say a lot, the numbers were serious. He had friends even at the furthest corner of our district, and I can't even keep one. He loved going to school, attending seminars, joining contest and many others
"Dèbè fìhwè àgkìlò.""Minmenàì aßloþ ba ďeķìa?"Distinct voices and strange sounds."Hiò ģrìòĺè fìeŕbe abìmò. Mhìeeď hìòhjer aĺem?""Amèkìko?"My eyes were heavy, as if I had gone into some strenuous work and was now on the process of recovering. I was sure the sun was up. I could feel its gentle warm dabbing my skin. I thought it would be cloudy today. The weather forecast said so. Well, I guess climate change was doing its work pretty serious. Lazily, I opened my eyes but then shut it again. Was I in an open field? The light was blinding and that luminous celestial body seemed to be sitting just around the corner. As if it was possible. For moment, I stopped thinking and relaxed my mind as a mild pang settled in.The blabbering continued. I was forced to finally lift my eyelids and sat in haste. "Ouch!" I slanted my head while holding it with both arms. I just felt dizzy. "My, did I fall while walking?"I looked around. I'm in the middle of a forest which without doubt, not famil
My body seemed to float, like a feather being cradled by a mellow breeze and. . . wait. . . float? Feather?I instantly opened my eyes, but instead of seeing a familiar ceiling, I'm looking at a triangular shaped roof that was new to my sight. Was this lost in wonderland part two? I haven't remembered falling in a rabbit hole. Well, my mom told me stories and I regret not giving full attention before. But it was really fascinating. I mean, what's above me was made of brown leaves stitched together with mastery. I got keen eyes and impressing me would be a hard stuff but, where did they get a leaf as big as that? And second, how were they able to do that? Admirable!Okey, Rohama. You're asking no one. Better get on your feet."Geez! What am I doing drifting at the middle of this room?" I was shouting. Consternation filled my being, spawning a vacuous reaction. It was already late when I realized that I might be held as a captive. The incident flashed in my mind all at once. Gosh! Wa
The mystery of the world was fathomless. Everyone would agree. The amplitude was so great that it engendered immense curiousity to people's mind.Studying the universe was one of the many exploits humans do to satiate their wonders. As long as there were questions, answers should be found as well, even if it means risking their lives. I admire them, really, but I didn't plan to be like them.And ofcourse, I never intend to explore this I-don't-have-any-idea planet, thinking that even a flower could be a danger.Now, my thoughts were troubling the ephemeral peace I've felt a while ago. Might I be in Mars? I recalled having an accident.Humankind sifted evidences with the intent to validate the existence of other beings.If that's the case, then maybe, it's possible that I'm abducted. And they were planning to extract information from me in preparation of the invasion. Then, why would they choose you? My mind taunted. Whatever. I shook those thoughts away. It only brings mental tension
"Adessa was surrounded by four more kingdoms. On its right was the Land of Paleo called Horeah."The dust followed each gestures of his hands, epitomizing something with a sinewy body and bulky muscles."They are strong and huge reaching about ten to fifteen feet."I would never wish to meet them in person, the image was scary enough. The land must be shaking having a bunch of them walking at the surface. I'd vouch they could create an earthquake by just jumping around a couple of times."This one," he pointed the area just below Horeah, "was called Zuphra, the dwellers in here are the creatures you should avoid the most."He's not kidding? I thought those humongous creatures were the ones I must evade the most. Well, better if I'd cross paths with none of the two."They are deemed traitor and no sense of loyalty. Zebuar or we label them as Night Crawlers mostly hunt at night and eat almost everything, dead or alive."It actually looked like a man squating. The hands were folded like
I had never thought that there comes a time that I would definitely had dificulty in learning. Seriously, all those things were messing my mind. They come one after another and I couldn't completely take a grasp of everything. It all happened at once. The terms used weren't even familiar. What irked me most was the man's face beside me. Just by staring at him, I'm certain he had something going on inside his mind."I'm sure you had an idea to where you belong."I felt my lips twitched and my brow raising up. I did my best keeping it all inside but unfortunately I could not. The way of speaking was affronting—appeared to be intentional.Later on, I just found myself being restrained by Merko. However, my hands still tried to reach for Yamiko. I somewhat knew it was impossible to break loose but my mouth was still free. "What are you trying to say then?" I didn't care if my stentorian voice broke the peaceful ambiance. The heck I care! I wrestled for a chance to escape but-—argh
