>>>>>>>>> Zander <<<<<<<<<<<<<
 
 
 
I sat on a boulder in a strange place, I was blowing a flute, a beautiful green flute. The beautiful flower in front of me was dancing and swaying to the music, it was nice just being outside and having fun. I felt at peace, internal peace. I heard a hiss, a loud terrible hiss. The hiss sounded like a banshee’s cry, very painful.
 
 
 
I stopped blowing the flute and huffed.
 
 
 
‘Whoever you are, stop that hissing before I find you out and rip you to pieces!’ I growled. The hissing stopped followed by a familiar giggle. I smiled and looked behind me.
 
 
 
‘Boo!!!!’ She scre-med loudly and giggled. I smiled widely. ‘Hi bestie! I’ve missed you!’ She threw herself on and hugged me tight. I didn’t hug her back, she smelt weird. ‘Why aren’t you hugging me back?’
 
 
 
‘Because you’re not my Luna,’ I said smirkingly. ‘Now get off me before I rip you to shred.’ I spat venomously, she stood up and folded her arms. ‘Who are you and what do you want?’
 
 
 
‘Why do you think I’m not me? Is that anyway to treat a friend you haven’t seen in five months? I can’t believe you!’ She said skeptically. I sighed
 
 
 
‘At the count of five, start talking or you die.’
 
 
 
‘Zander….’
 
 
 
‘One…’
 
 
 
‘But I’m….’
 
 
 
‘Four…’
 
 
 
‘Okay fine!’ She exclaimed, she morphed into a serpent with black and green stripes. ‘Hisss……you’re so….hiss….mean….hiss.’
 
 
 
‘What do you want?’
 
 
 
‘I just came to talk to you.’
 
 
 
‘Next time you take the form of my best friend or anyone I love, I’ll kill before asking.’
 
 
 
‘Hiss…understood.’ He cleared his throat.
 
 
 
 
‘So, what do you want?’
 
 
 
‘I am a messenger and I come in peace… ‘ he paused. I gave him a go ahead look. ‘The time to recreate Medasepticon is here, what is holding you back?’
 
 
 
‘I wait upon my sister….’
 
 
 
‘That messed up princess? Your great majesty, you can never recreate your kingdom if she doesn’t bond with the Peace Bearer, you can never achieve your full powers if she’s not his bride.’
 
 
 
‘But he’s yet to come to her…’
 
 
 
‘A witch have deceived him!’ He cut me off in panic. ‘She told him that if he marries her, they will both die so he blocked every means of meeting her for her safety. You cannot undo it until you open the portal and bring her to him. When they meet, everything will set itself.’
 
 
 
‘How sure are you?’
 
 
 
 
‘How sure am I?! I’m a messenger! I don’t come to argue, I didn’t come to attack you or force you to do anything, it’s your choice. Do it or you’ll all face the consequences yourselves.’ He said angrily. ‘I’ve delivered my message, it’s now your decision.’ He disappeared. I woke up from my sleep and sighed.
 
 
 
Open the portal?
 
 
 
That will take a lot of my energy but it will be worth it.
 
 
 
I’ll think more.
 
 
 
I miss Luna.
 
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~ Luna ~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
 
I stood alone in a quiet field, a field filled with dead bodies, mostly headless ones. The sight was horrible but not as horrible as what I saw earlier, Aunty Anji killed a handsome white-haired and then Zander killed her. It was horrible!
 
 
 
I was crying, I was crying bitterly.
 
 
 
 
‘Why am I here!!!!’ I scre-med into the night, my voice echoing in the pin-drop silent.
 
 
 
‘Because your help is needed to warn Zander.’ A very deep voice echoed too. A shadow loomed behind me, swallowing me completely. My heartbeat increased, my body trembling seriously. ‘Don’t be afraid Luna, beautiful queen of Zanludan….’
 
 
 
‘Zanludan?’
 
 
 
‘The new Medasepticon….turn around.’ I forced my courage and turned around. A loud frightening scre-m left my mouth, I felt myself losing consciousness. ‘Don’t faint,’ he commanded, like I was controlled, I got myself. ‘Sit,’ I sat down like a dog, I was almost peeing on myself. I’m too young to be eaten alive by a giant white lion, a very glorious good looking one. ‘Queens don’t get scared, Queens of Zanludan stand up tall at all time.’
 
 
 
‘Queens can die if care is not taken,’ I said shakily. He smiled. ‘Are you going to eat me?’
 
 
 
‘I do that and I’ll have trouble with Raquelia.’
 
 
 
‘Auntie?’
 
 
 
‘I’m a vegetarian,’ he said humorously. I giggled and folded my legs wiping my tears off with my sleeve. ‘I brought you here to talk to you. What you see here is the probable future of the people you see…..’
 
 
 
‘That’s a stupid future! Who created it? You?’
 
 
 
‘You’re as bold as your mother,’ he looked into my eyes. ‘And as stubborn as her brother….’
 
 
 
‘Yet as wise as my father, I’m a magnificent work of art!’ I squealed.
 
 
 
‘You forgot to mention as proud as he is too…’
 
 
 
‘I’ll leave the pride side to my brother, now you were saying?’
 
 
 
‘With the way you speak, no one will believe you were almost peeing on yourself a few minutes ago. You’re indeed a true queen….’ I gasped and blushed.
 
 
 
‘Does it mean Zander will marry me in the future?!’ I asked shriekingly.
 
 
 
‘I wasn’t suppose to tell you….’
 
 
 
‘Aaaaaaaaaaaah! Zander loves me!!!!’
 
 
 
‘Oh boy.’ He sighed. I kept squealing and rolling on the floor. Lumi will be so happy to hear this, we can squeal and dance together until big brother’s ears explode. Yes! ‘Can we get back to why you’re here?’
 
 
 
‘Yes! Tell me!’
 
 
 
‘Zander is going to open the portal, it is part of destiny but he has a role to play. I can’t stand and watch such fate occur between two people that love each other. Surprisingly, I’m going to have to tell you to get on my back.’ He said grumpily. I grinned and stood up. He laid on the ground and grudgingly told me to get on again. I happily jumped and landed on his back. ‘Hang on….’
 
 
 
‘Giddy up horsie!’ He growled. ‘I’m sorry.’ I bit my lip and giggled. He ran off, it felt so cool, almost as cool as riding on uncle Frost’s back. ‘Whoopee!!!!’ I shrieked excitedly.
 
 
 
You can’t blame me, I’m eleven.
 
 
 
He ran very fast, faster than mom and uncle Frost, faster than dad. The wind gushed on my skin, hitting me h-rder than anything I’d ever felt in my entire life. He stopped in front of a castle, a very dark black castle. He broke his run into a light jog, he jogged into the castle. The castle smelt foul, like rotten corpse.
 
 
 
‘Are we in “kill me with my horrible smell” castle? I don’t understand the poison here.’ I complained. He chuckled and shook his head. ‘Whaaaaaat?’ I drawled. ‘I’m a werewolf….well, I’ll finally be able to shift when I turn thirteen or fourteen….’
 
 
 
‘Have anyone ever told you that you talk too much?’
 
 
 
‘I’m not daddy’s girl for nothing!’ I chirped. He sighed.
 
 
 
‘My ears are too close to your microphone mouth, please be quiet and l…..’
 
 
 
‘OMG! This place is stupid!!!!’
 
 
 
‘Why me!’ He cried. I giggled and straightened my back proudly. He stopped at a throne room, the room was filled with people and a woman with long white hair and silver eyes like godmother Raquelia. ‘Here we are!’ He announced grudgingly.
 
 
 
‘What’s going on?’
 
 
 
‘This happened hundreds of years ago, during the reign of a female Peace Bearer. The woman tied down with chains is a witch, her name is Mamuwei. She wanted to be queen, she wanted to be the one to rule, she was the moon crest lady of this Peace Bearer….’
 
 
 
‘Okay hold up, what’s a Peace Bearer and a moon crest lady?’
 
 
 
‘I don’t have strength to explain, when you get back to Zander, ask him all these questions.’ He sighed. ‘The moon crest lady was greedy, she became open to darkness after she let herself fall for a man and get defiled. She lost her purity, lost her soul and became evil. She tried to eliminate the queen but the other ladies stopped her, the other ladies told on her and she was sentenced to death.’
 
 
 
‘So she didn’t die?’
 
 
 
‘She was smart, she did a spell to depart her spirit away from her body before it was burnt. The spirit hid in the dark forest, a part of Nephaledia that was created during the war. I could have done something but for some reason, I still can’t fathom, I couldn’t stop her. Her soul dwelled there with severe bitterness, harnessing every dark power of Nephaledia, every greed, every deceit, every lies. She used the past mistakes of the old Peace Bearers to create an altering in Aramis’ life, she saw into the future, she saw that he was the strongest and saw him as the perfect tool….’
 
 
 
‘You know I’m just eleven and I don’t like all this history, it’s homework!’
 
 
 
‘Dear me! She wants Nephaledia in ruins and disaster, she wants to rule that ruins but to do that, she needs him dead and nothing can kill him except her.’
 
 
 
‘Her?’
 
 
 
‘Anjiála as you know her. The forces saw that each Peace Bearers lived a painful lonely life, they died in loneliness. That is why they made a wife strong enough to withstand him but they only gave him a stronger weakness.’
 
 
 
‘So if my fabulous brain is working well, Mamuwei will possess Anjiála and use her to kill him and Zander will kill her?’
 
 
 
‘That is what Mamuwei don’t understand, she thinks she will rule but forgot that the first weakness of Nephaledia is alive, Zander will run mad with fury after killing his sister and his death rage will be much worst than Lakeem’s. He will destroy the wh0le of Nephaledia, earth and every other dimension his anger pushes him to. No one will stop him, nothing can stop him until he finishes his furious killing.’
 
 
 
‘Not even the moon or sun goddesses?’
 
 
 
‘Every beings and their powers my dear, those gods and goddesses were created by forces too, not by themselves.’
 
 
 
‘So my job is?’
 
 
 
‘Warn Zander. I cannot go to him for reasons best known to me but you can help him. Tell him what is going on and what I will tell you…..’

I woke up and rubbed my eyes, that was a fantastic dream. Zander’s going to marry me if I can achieve this! I can’t wait! I threw the duvet away and ran to my parents’ room. I knocked on the door excitedly.
 
 
 
‘Mom! Dad! I’m getting married!’ The door flew open, dad was there staring at me with a frown. I grinned, he’s so handsome! Mom is lucky. He’s my true version of f****** hot dads, him and uncle Frost and of course! The gorgeous twins of godmother Raquelia.
 
 
 
‘You know I can read your mind, right?’ He asked frowningly. I giggled and jumped. ‘Who’s getting married?’
 
 
 
How to grow your business while you stay at home
‘Me!’
 
 
 
‘Krystal! Your daughter is going mad again, come chain her before I lock her up for the seventeenth time!’
 
 
 
Well, that was rude.
