Alecia and Booker are still within the restaurant. The small group of people stands up, amd walks their way to the exit.Alecia chuckles, and picks up the glass."True." She said with a slight smile, and takes a sip while looking at him.Booker smiles slightly with a small chuckle and stares blankly at his glass for a moment. Alecia stops smiling. Her eyes staring at him with a gentle gaze. "Booker?" She said, her voice sounding calm and peaceful. He responds by looking at her. "What's the matter?" "My sister..." he said, with a neutral expression on his face."I'm worried, I can't stop thinking about her." He looks at the glass with the green liquid. She sighs with a downcast look."How old is she?" She said with a gentle tone in her voice. "I forgot to ask." "Oh..." he said looking at her once more. "She's much younger than me. She's fifteen." "Fifteen hey." She said picking up the glass and holds it."It's strange how someone as young as her can get that sick." She takes a
From within the ship, Alecia continues to look at the window, and locks her eyes on a large dam below, only to spot a flock of winged-animals flying across it.The music from the radio ends, followed by a brief silence. "Hello again everyone on this wonderful day." A man's voice said from the radio. "I've heard recently that the empress is heading to Senteria to hold a surprise celebration tomorrow at noon." "This is wonderful news I must say." A woman's voice said in a cheerful tone."I wonder what's the surprise, it could be anything. What do you think?" "I guess we'll just have to wait and see, it will be a wonderful experience for those who are invited." The man said with a joyful tone. Alecia, widens her eyes, and looks at the console. For a long time, she never felt zo relieved."Ruth?" Alecia said in a quiet tone, while the hosts of the radio continue talking. "What?" Booker said, looking at her."Did you say something?" "My sister." Alecia, said averting her eyes to him
Booker's mother sits beside her daughter, still with her eyes closed, she gently strokes the top of Renata's head, staring at her with a gentle smile on her face. Booker gazes at Alecia with a wide-eyed look. He takes a few stwps towards her."What?" He said with a frown. "Why would you do that to yourself?""What do you expect?" Alecia said with a frown."That was the only way to help cure her." Booker widens his eyes, and frowns. "Why didn't you switch the virus to me?" He said, taking a step towards her."I barely even made it through with myself." She averting her eyes from him. "It couldn't be done that way." She looks at her own hand and closes it and opens it slowly. "Then why don't you give it to me now?" Booker said, gesturing his hsnd out.Alecia looks at him with a glare. "Don't be stupid." She lowers her hand to her side."Do you really want to do that to her? Have her living without her brother, because of a stupid decision like that?" "What makes your decision any
Booker turns his gaze to her, and looks down at the book she's holding"What book is that?" Booker said, a narrowed look in his eyes. "Oh." She said with a slight chuckle, and brings the book up to look at it."Your sister showed it to me." Booker leans in to look, and takes the book from her."What are the seraphims." He said, and frowns."I forgot she had that book." He said, looking ahead once more. "Have you read it as well?" Alecia said with a curious look in hwr eyes."I'm not sure." He said, looking at her for a brief moment. "I read most of the other books." "What are your thoughts about the seraphims?" She said, with a calm look in her eyes.Booker flickers his eyes in thought."I think that if I saw them in person, I'd be terrified." He said, slightly shaking his head and chuckles a bit. Alecia chuckles and looks ahead once more. Her smile fades, and her eyes start to flicker in thought."Excuse me." She said, turning around and steps towards the doors of the balcony.
It is now midnight. The stars in the sky above are scattered across it, as if fiery stones are embedded within a sheet. Senteria is quiet. The citizens of the city are now in their homes, and sound asleep. Only a few ships are seen flying through the streets.In one of the buildings, Alecia is seen standing near the railing of the balcony. Her eyes reflects off from the surrounding lights of the city itself. The air around her slowly moves the strands of her hair which hangs down near her shoulders.Her eyes do not move, as she continues to stare down at the streets below. Her eyes gently close for a moment, with the silence still beckoning around her. She opens her eyes, with her pupils glowing bright blue. She looks ahead of herself and turns her gaze upwards once more, she raises her hand slightly above her waist with her palm facing the sky. Transparent blue flames slither out the palm of her hand in a form of thin strings. It slowly gathers together and grows into a sphere of
The ship slowly hovers underneath a blue grid of energy just above it. Alecia slowly leans towards the window with her narrowed eyes staring st the grid above. After a moment, she leans back into her seat. "Mom, what is it?" Renata said with a wide-eyed look as she stares up at the field of energy. "I don't know, sweetheart." Elerah said, leaning in for a look as well. Her eyes brgin to show curiosity. "No ships can go through it." Booker said, looking ahead with a calm look on his face, while he gently controls the ship."No one can go in, no one can go out." He slowly accelerates faster within the narrow tunnel. A few moments go by...Crowds of people are seen standing near small colored tents of red, green, and yellow.The one tent has adults and a few children standing by it. Their clothing vary in color. The one tent has a rifle mounted on the railing,, with a small girl is seen shooting with the fake weapon within the tent. The crowd of people around the parade muffle any s
Alecia continues to walk while looking ahead, with a few people walking in front of her. Ahead of them are two pathways, the one on the left leads onto a small garden of grass and flowers of many colors. On the right side, the road leads towards the fireworks in the distance. Alecia walks within the garden, where she's surrounded by a ray of different flowers of bright colors of white, red, orange, and yellow. Each kind has a unique look to them. The white blooms the tallest of the lot while the orange being the shortest. Near the flowers, stands a sign which reads 'Do not touch.'Alecia continues to slowly walk through while staring them with an intrigued look in her eyes. A woman, dressed in with a full basket of blue flowers is seen standing near a small building. "Hello miss, do you want a flower to accompany-" The one woman said to a young woman who quickly brushes her aside and carries on walking, only for the young girl to walk towards Alecia and passes her. The woman with
Within the interior of the building, a large staircase stands in the middle of the lobby which branches upwards into the second floor. In the middle of the stairs a red carpet is layed out. The guard enters the building as both his and Alecia's footsteps can be heard echoing throughout the large open space of the lobby. The cream colored ceiling is covered in paintings, and glyphs."I'm alright, you don't-" Alecia said only to start coughing once more as she walks up the stairs with him. Only for her to lean on the railing of the stairs and let's out a final cough."You're not okay, miss." He said, with a compassionate look on his face as he holds her up."Come on." He gently moves her up the stairs.Moments go by...Alecia and the guard is seen walking through a wide open hallway. Benches stand along the sides of the walls and between the large pillars. She looks up at the passing paintings on the walls. Most are only paintings of forests and rivers, with one of them being a paint
