What is your name? Aryan asked as he finally met with the little girl sitting alone beside the stream called Noroi, which means the endless stream. No one has seen its beginning or end. It has healing powers, and it prevents those who are evil from crossing.
“My name?.... Name is not yet determined.”
The magic in her voice was overwhelming; even the stream gave a crystal flash after her name was pronounced. It was an extraordinary thing, to Aryan. It was something beyond imagination as her eyeballs glow like the flash of light from an early sunrise. Aryan told her his name with a shivering voice. He realized she is no ordinary girl immediately.
“Don’t be afraid,” she told Aryan, who was already thinking he made a mistake coming close to her. They got talking, and they both seem to be getting along better than expected.
“The girl is no ordinary girl; she carries unimaginable powers which no one can tell. What you know about her today is limited to today because she develops new abilities every day. She is not yet aware of her capabilities.”
“What do you suggest we do now with her? She can’t be out there yet because they will find her sooner than we both imagined and the battle won’t end without lots of bloodsheds. There will be a great battle.” The conversation between the wizard, lord Carvalla and queen Reene continued throughout the night as Elder Kabuza joined in the conversation. They understand the great evil that has descended on Hashmaim and how it will extend to several other people if nothing is done to stop it. The critical situation requires careful decision else all hope could be lost.
Haaaaaaaaaa, “I don’t want to die. You have to do something to save me before it is too late.” The Lilithians gathered around, trying to stop the bleeding that has already started. The loss of blood was much and almost getting to the level where no one could ever survive.
“Relax, my daughter. But this is going to hurt a little more than you think. She placed her hand on her belle, and there was a baby’s cry after some minutes. I am going to heal you now. Hold on as much as you can. You will be fine, I promise. There was loud screaming from the room that finally came to a halt after some minutes.
“Leave her now. She will come back to us. let her rest.” Everyone stepped back, and attention was shifted to the child that was born. “Behold the reality of the prophecy. A child is born to end terrorism and unite the race of men.”
Suddenly, laughter took over the room. It kept increasing until a voice screamed: Let’s see how that will become a reality.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh, Lillian woke up from her dream immediately. The torment of what she went through never left her. She dreams about it every time. It wasn’t easy for a mortal to carry a child whose blood is the combination of humans and the Lilithians. Everything happened fast; her conception wasn’t like that of any human because no father was involved, and her delivery only took days. The child’s growth is beyond that of any creature anyone has seen.
Lillian stood up and took a walk from her bed. The destiny and task bestowed upon the child are becoming obvious every day. She must fulfill them without failing.
The visitation of strange creatures to Hashmaim land became a regular thing. Guards die every day, the soldiers combat it day and night, but they are always on the losing end. The time of arrival is never known to anyone. Yet the evil ones see every move the soldiers are making before they act.
Nabar has been active in service in protecting the people in his region. Aside from the palace tower, his area became the only safe place in the city. It made so many people start relocating to that part of the city. People began trusting in him and his instructions more than anyone else in the city.
Asher has always had a different opinion about Nabar. In fact, people are beginning to think they hate each other even though they greet each other on the street. Asher is a very peaceful man aside from being weird because of the knowledge he possesses. Some kids call him the walking library. He has an answer to almost anything you ask him.
He kept on trying to figure out who was with the black rider the other night, but he never made it known to anyone, not even the king.
“Well done, everything seems to be in place, and going on according to plan, we will be ruling before they realize it. Their world will fall while ours will stand forever. Nevertheless, you must find the girl. Her existence is nothing but doom to us.” the black rider told his servant who seems willing to go any length to get the information they need and bring an end to everything that threatens them.
A known enemy is easy to combat, but who knows the mind of one that torments in the dark but smiles in the day.
“Wow! Who would ever believe a trader we rescued would become such a man of great importance and value to us? I kind of like him, you know.” princess Esther was pouring her heart out to Linda, her friend who has come to visit her in the palace after a few discussions about what Nabar has been doing in the city.
Linda asked if she was interested in a relationship with him or if she wants to have him in bed like those she had in the past. They both laughed as the statement brought back memories of the things they have done together. “Don’t get carried away, Esther. He might end up hurting you, or you end up hurting yourself.”
“Rachel! Get us something to drink,” Princess Esther demanded. The royal house remains a merriment place despite the calamity that seems to be taking over the whole city. Nevertheless, nothing interests the king more than the safety of everyone.
The evening of that same day became one of the evenings to remember in the city. Darkness crept upon the land once again; a strange creature flew across the kingdom. People ran into their houses in fear of their lives. David, the son of King Dominic, summoned his army to fight and bring down the creature before it could hurt the people in the city.
One thing was sure; they could either win or watch the city burn down in flame as the creature began to rain down fire on the people. “Gentlemen of honor, Men of courage, men of war. The day has come again that we stand by each other and make safe our land, our people. Let no fear fill your heart. Summon your courage. Chaaaaaarge!” David encourages his men as they launch towards what appears to be an obvious death trap for everyone.”
“So, I took my sword and looked at the tiger in the face. I stood and fought until I took the creature’s head and brought it back home to the king.” “Wow, you did that all by yourself?” One of the little children listening to Nabar as he narrates the story of his bravery to make them happy asked.
“Watch out.” A massive fireball approached from a distance. Nabar saw it and quickly took the children to safety before any of them could get hit by it. He received his sword, asked them not to leave the house, and ran towards the fireball’s direction.
Fear took everyone in the city; the old ones don’t want to die like animals; the young ones don’t want to die without growing old. It was like a terrible end has come, and nothing can be done about it by anyone. Not even the soldiers that have gone out to fight.
Several soldiers were already on the floor due to injuries sustained from fighting the creature that has refused to stop throwing fireballs at them. David has refused to give up, archers kept shooting arrows to kill the creature, but nothing seems to be working against it.
Nabar arrived at the battleground and made an effort to join them in the fight, but David tried stopping him “this is no place for mere men. This is a place of battle and not some playing ground.” Despite his efforts, Nabar joined in the fight.
The king remained in his palace with all the royalties, hoping for a miracle. The priests were aware of the city’s situation. They have plans in motion to help.
Just when they felt the worst was already happening, the creature targeted the palace tower and released a fireball towards it.
