Everyone around her became absolutely silent.The leaves of the trees were bejeweled with frost, shining yellow, blue, red and gold under the grey skies. Although the mist rolled along the ground, she saw fallen logs damped with moss littered around. And somewhere from deep inside the forest, she heard a buzzing... a call... a powerful energy... it thrummed... Simran shivered.When she was only seven, thin papery wings had unfurled for the first time from her back.Transparent with silvery mesh of pulse lines, forking along the delicate bone that arched at the top, she had spread them slowly under her nanny's guidance, and as she spread them, the pulse lines had flickered like lightening. Her nanny had squealed in pure delight. But that was the last time it had happened. Raul had slashed the bone of her left wing with his sword, permanently damaging it. The pain had left her unconscious. When she woke up, her nanny was gone... forever.Three years later, her parents were dethroned and

The rogue Zor'gonian began chanting some words that were incomprehensible.The sky turned dark, lighting flashed and magic circles began to appear around Simran, Manton and Starlight.“The Loveless Man desires no love.. such a pity, for you shall now be sent to a place you shall search for love but not find. Manton Vale will be sent to Earth and will be constantly In Search of Love.” a godly fatherly voice spoke from the sky, and then Manton Vale vanished. It was as if he was never there.“Simran Dotchius! You pride yourself of being lovable and to love in return. Now you shall be sent to Earth. Your new life may destroy your pride.” the same voice spoke and then Simran vanished in the same manner Manton did.“Starlight Kazer! You shall continue to accompany the Loveless man in his search for Love.” just as the voice fell, Starlight vanished.The sky cleared and a melody was played across the sky. Then a voice began to recite an epic;“There are none who can say for certain if truly t

[THE NEXT DAY]Elian stood outside Michael's office, his heart racing with anticipation. He had the evidence, and he was ready to confront the man who had wronged him.He took a deep breath, straightened his shoulders, and walked into the office. Michael looked up from his desk, a look of surprise followed by a sneer."Elian Gray," Michael said, his voice dripping with contempt. "I thought you were still crawling in the gutter where you belong."Elian smiled, his eyes glinting with determination. "Hell Michael, still using that crappy trash talk, it seems you ain't got anything new."Michael snorted. "You're still a nobody, Elian. You'll never be able to touch me."“Man, ain't that sick? Well, I have something I'm sure will shut you up and make you sing a different tone.”Elian pulled out his phone and played the recording he had obtained at the charity event. Michael's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. Not only did Elian show up and ruined his follow-up plan, but he had

Elian walked into his computer class, still shaken by the confrontation with Michael. He took his seat, trying to focus on the lesson ahead.Mister Erikson, the computer teacher, walked in, a laptop in hand. "Alright, class. Today, we're going to learn about hacking. Each of you will come up to my desk and try to hack into my phone."The students murmured excitedly as Mister Erikson called the first student up. One by one, they tried to hack into the phone, some succeeding, others failing.When it was Michael's turn, the class erupted in praise. "Oh, Michael's going to crush this!" said Sarah."He's so rich and talented!" added John."I bet he can hack into anything!" chimed in Emily.Michael smiled smugly, taking his place at the desk."Yeah, I'm basically a genius," he said, winking at his friends. Michael walked majestically towards the desk, opened the laptop and connected to the internet. It was time for him to shine.But as he started typing, his smile faltered. He tried again a

Elian hailed a cab and headed to his new apartment, a luxurious penthouse in the heart of the city. As he stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by the stunning view of the city skyline. The apartment was sleek and modern, with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. The living room was spacious, with a grand piano in one corner and a state-of-the-art home theater system.Elian dropped his bag on the floor and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing out at the breathtaking view. He felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that he had earned this luxurious lifestyle through his hard work and determination.After settling in, Elian picked up his phone and dialed Rachel's number. "Hey, Rachel. I'm settled into my new apartment. I'll be in your office in an hour to discuss the recordings."Rachel's voice was crisp and professional. "Great, Elian. I'm looking forward to hearing your plan. See you soon."Elian hung up the phone and took a deep breath, feeling a sens
