Anjiala episode 38

ANJIÁLA – Episode 38

Aramis
 
I stood at the top of the highest mountain in Nephaledia, looking down at the different kingdoms and tribes bitterly. Nothing made sense to me, I didn’t wish to be stuck there protecting a set of stupid people that are cursed to fight themselves to death the moment I disappear. Their endless fighting was my life punishment, I had to be alive to conceal the war. None of it mattered.
 
 
 
I had been miserable since I had the dream, the former Peace Bearer came to me in my dream and warned me, warned me to stay away from her for our own good until the galactic lunar ecl¡pse. Three Peace Bearer came at different time and each said different things. One said let her go permanently, the other said avoid her until after the ecl¡pse and the last one said kill her before she kills you.
 
 
 
If that last one wasn’t already dead, o would have killed him myself.
 
 
 
I sighed.
 
 
 
I missed her, I missed her a lot.
 
 
 
The wind blew against my face, carrying a new scent.
 
 
 
‘You won’t let me be, would you?’ I sighed. White found me as usual. How can you hide from something that sees all.
 
 
 
‘You’re torturing yourself Aramis, you’re killing you both.’
 
 
 
‘Not again with your theory or whatever you call your convince Aramis mission.’
 
 
 
‘Aramis! I am the eyes of Nephaledia! It life force and your strength! Why can’t you believe my words!’ I rolled my eyes back to the kingdoms. ‘You think avoiding her until the lunar ecl¡pse will do you good? You’re a big fool! You will never escape what Mamuwei have signed down. It will only find another much more painful and despicable way to occur. You’re avoiding it and you don’t know that you’re dying slowly, why do you think your heart aches every time? Because you miss the…..Aramis you’re not listening to me!!!!’
 
 
 
‘Because you’re not saying anything reasonable.’
 
 
 
‘Aramis! Why the hell are you so stubborn!!! I’ve never dealt with a stubborn person like you!!!!’ I looked over my shoulder and winked at him. If he could kill me, he would. ‘That’s it! I’ve been taking the pain for you but since you are not listening, then take your pain yourself.’ The moment the words left his mouth, a severe pang of pain surged through my entire body. My heart suffered more, it felt like my heart was being chopped slowly.
 
 
 
‘White, what’s happening to me?’ I growled.
 
 
 
‘You’re receiving the punishment of trying to fight the force,’ he said nonchalantly, like his best friend wasn’t dying. ‘You’ll probably die.’
 
 
 
‘Whaaaaat?’
 
 
 
‘Yeah sorry, since you want to prevent the death, then you’ll be the one to take it all.’
 
 
 
‘What the….better take it back!’
 
 
 
 
‘Are you going to flog me to it?’
 
 
 
‘White please, I’m dying.’
 
 
 
‘Don’t worry, your funeral will be legit.’
 
 
 
‘Gosh I hate you!’
 
 
 
‘And here’s the best part, she get to feel the pain too but she won’t die like you. Her soul will only be lost, isn’t that great?!’
 
 
 
‘Leave her out of this White!!!! Don’t you dare let them hurt her!!!’
 
 
 
‘Sorry, I don’t speak English.’
 
 
 
 
‘White, don’t make me command you, stop this pain.’
 
 
 
‘Before you command me, I’m leaving.’ He disappeared. The pain increased, I fell on my knees squeezing my chest. I wheezed for air, my brain literally beating furiously in exquisitely pain. I was more worried about her, if it could hurt me this much, it will be worst on her.
 
 
 
‘White…’ I coughed, blood spluttering out of my mouth, my eyes rolled into the back. I shook my head and inhaled, this was my cross and she won’t suffer for a decision I make, for what she knew nothing about. I closed my eyes and forced the link to her mark open, it’s better I bear all her own pain too.
 
 
 
Anjiála
 
 
 
♪ ‘you took me unaware
 
 
 
I had no single beware
 
 
 
You dashed in high crazy
 
 
 
Forgot I was a lady
 
 
 
 
I was getting use to
 
 
 
Being in love with you
 
 
 
Letting my words be true
 
 
 
I took your silent for granted
 
 
 
Forgot that you were a man
 
 
 
And you could make me feel haunted
 
 
 
I didn’t remember how you were
 
 
 
Shoulda remember who I am
 
 
 
I Shouldn’t have left my heart there
 
 
 
But it’s too late now
 
 
 
To pain I have bow…..’ ♪ I sang. It was a concert, I wanted to take a break and go somewhere I could relax so after announcing that I would be leaving the music world for a while, my fans urged me to have one more concert. Zander thought it was great idea, after Luna, that annoying girl visited him weeks earlier, he changed in a very complicated way. The way he talked and reacted to everything I did, not bad, not good.
 
 
 
Whatever it was, he insisted on planning where I would take the vacation so I left it to him.
 
 
 
♪. ‘You made me crazy baby
 
 
 
Wish my memories were hazy
 
 
 
You stabbed my feeling so down deep
 
 
 
So deep spirit couldn’t sing
 
 
 
I know I wasn’t fit perfect
 
 
 
But I know I put it effort
 
 
 
To make our frail love work out
 
 
 
Did I do it all somewhat wrong?
 
 
 
I still can’t really understand
 
 
 
But now I’ve moved on so far out
 
 
 
You’re coming back smiling
 
 
 
Wishing I was once yours again
 
 
 
I don’t think we’ll ever w….’ I paused, a little pang of pain from my chest did that. I quickly covered it up and dance. The pain was increasing, I was finding it difficult to breathe.
 
 
 
♪. ‘Just like I said right now
 
 
 
It’s just a wish you have
 
 
 
I will never go back
 
 
 
To the vomit I spat….’ I took sharp intake of breath, not understanding what was going on. I tried my best to hide it as I sang on, dancing as planned. I finished the song and curtsied playfully.
 
 
 
‘Anji, you’re okay?’ Zander asked telepathically. ‘Your vitals is going crazy here.’
 
 
 
‘I don’t know what’s wrong, my heart.’
 
 
 
‘Get out of stage, something’s wrong!’
 
 
 
‘Thank you everyone, for supporting me in spite of my sudden decision. I’m very grateful for everything, for your love, support, care. Ever since I became White Feline, I’d never had a reason to cry over hateful comments or news or feel like ending my career. My career is the only thing that really makes me feel better but yet I must take my time to rest….’ I whimpered and exhaled painfully. ‘As hærd as it might seem to believe that a star could stay for thirteen years without having any scandal or conflict, without being hated out in open but you all made that happened. Relax, I’m coming back after the break, thank you so much Felines…..’ The crowd scre-med only making my pain worst. I waved at them and walked out of the stage, I hurried to my dress room pushing everyone aside. I locked the door and sank to the floor. ‘Zander, what’s happening to me?!’
 
 
 
He appeared in front of me.
 
 
 
‘I have an an-lysis.’ The mark on my back burnt me, the heat stretching to my heart and surprisingly, the pain stopped. ‘You okay?’
 
 
 
‘It stopped,’ I gasped. He knelt in front of me and touched my forehead. His eyes glowed. ‘Your hand is hot.’ I whined. He removed his hand and stood up.
 
 
 
‘You’re leaving tomorrow before dawn.’
 
 
 
‘Huh?’
 
 
 
)))))))))))))))))))) Mamuwei ((((((((((((((((((((
 
 
 
‘Yes!’ I celebrated. Everything was going as planned. Soon Aramis will die and all powers shall be in my hands, I can’t just wait!
 
 
 
Anjiála
 
 
 
I took Zander to the Amazon mansion like he insisted, I already said my good byes to everyone but I wasn’t sure why he brought me here. I allowed him pass through the barriers and we entered the compound. We went straight to the library, he was being weird.
 
 
 
‘Where…what are you doing?’ He smiled and walked to the large mirror in the library, he totally ignored me. He touched the mirror and started chanting something inaudibly to himself. Wind gushed into the room and hit against the mirror, the wind became too much so I had to close my eyes. Another wind changed direction and blew from the mirror instead, I could feel it. It was cold and smelt like milk. ‘Zander, what are you doing!!!!’
 
 
 
My voice was swallowed up by the hiss and howl of the wind. I could feel book hitting me and flying around, it was strange and powerful.
 
 
 
‘Anjiála, remember to never let your feeling get the best out of you. You’re better than that, you’re Aurora, princess of Zanludan. Do not let any spirit possess you, always remember to believe in him no matter what and let your instinct lead you instead of your heart. I’ll watch you, bye.’ I heard him say softly in my head.
 
 
 
‘Zander are you dying?’
 
 
 
‘Good bye sis, say hi to him for me.’ With that said, strong rope or whatever it was wrapped me up. I scre-med as I was dragged into something. The wind stopped immediately. I opened my eyes only to scre-m again, lightning struck in the whirling white and blue vortex. I was falling down and I feared I would get struck.
