**(PLANET CENTAURI, ZEGNA’S TEMPLE)**Astra arrived at the end of the stairs where the torches have lighted themselves and looked around, she saw the a pile of human bones in a pit that she could not imagine was there. She looked to her left and saw another glowing glyph that says“He who challenges the abominable shall be willing to lay down his humanity to win or perish.” Astra swallowed hard and looked to her side where the path leads forward.I hope there are no traps set here! She thought and starts to walk forward, looking at the intricate decoration that was laid all over the floor of the hallway and even the walls. It is art like she has never seen before. She continued to walk along the pattern that leads forward and arrived at the end of the hallway.There was a large pit in front of her with a large circular floating stage that stands on nothing, connected by two small bridges that lead from the place that Astra is standing to the platform, and the other one leading further
Just what is going on here? How can she have aether swords? Just who is this woman? Astra asked herself as she gather her own aether blades around herself, lining them near her shoulders and standing her adjusting her stand.She looked thoroughly at the woman and saw that she was wearing a clothing that she has never seen before, it was some sort of uniform that has completely adjusted itself on her, fitting perfectly and covering her entire body from foot to the neck. She was wearing a mask that covered the lower part of her face such that Astra could only see her eyes.They were blue and deep, just like Astra’s and the aether blade she was wielding was similar to the one that Astra has given to Elena, a long sword fitting of western medieval warriors on earth.Astra reciprocated by merging of her five flying blades and turning them into a long sword the same as that of the woman.“Who are you?” Astra asked and instead of a response, the woman only corrected her stance, putting one o
Astra continues to fly straight through the tunnel while everything behind her sets ablaze until she arrived at the end of the tunnel, flying right through it and entering an open area that was as large as a basketball court. But to her surprise yet again, as soon as she enters the space, gravity increased and forced her to fall down flat to the ground.So a few seconds she almost passed out from the pure amounts of aether rushing into her body, but somehow she managed to stay woke. After circulating this new and stronger aether force through her body, all her injuries were instantly healed and her body slowly becomes used to the new stronger gravitational force in the space.She raised her eyes and looked around, what she saw immediately made her jaw drop.She was standing yet again in another place that at the moment she can only describe as a boss room. There are stairs surrounding the place she was standing in and at the end of the stairs which go in a circle around the place she
"I have always wanted one of you to ask me this question but am glad it came from you. Over a period of five hundred years that I have been here. I have fought too many times and everytime I always wished that I could get a chance to tell any of you a history you probably have never been told for selfish reasons. Your ancestors are murderers and self centered, that is why they never tell you their ugly past and how they took over a whole planet by killing the original inhabitants""I don't understand what you are saying, I am not from this planet" Astra managed to obstruct Argonaut. "today that I finally got to talk to someone, the persons seems to not have a clue at all. Well, just listen and you will know everything" Argonaut continued "me and my kind use to be the only inhabitants of this planet before. We found it before anyone and so we made it our home. My kind lived in peace and harmony until we found out that the planet is on a collision course with another planet on the orbi
**EARTH, FEDERATION MEGA BASE**The major concern on the base remains how their biggest warrior has disappeared and can't be contacted by any means. Contacting Astra to know if she is fine and to know if she could ever make it back to earth is top of the priority in the federation. A council, including the president and several other members have continuously raised concern over Astra's disappearance. A meeting has been called to that regard in which Carter was the centre of information and attention. "I think we should forget about Astra and face the most pressing issue right now" a member of the meeting said. "and what is that pressing issue you talk about?" another asked. "the alien war of course"Carter angrily interrupted "with all due respect, we have only survived this long because we have Astra and the emerald ghost squad. She has risked her life more than anyone else. So if we have to talk of war and of survival then we have to talk about Astra. Myself and the emerald sq
**CANYON**The Wyvern is bigger than any of them had ever seen, it's wings extends twice the the length of the biggest one any of the Centuarian had ever seen. It so fast that it could get back to the empire in less than five hours. This is definitely not a normal wyvern, and definitely not from around here because there is no way something like this could escape the eyes, Dula thought to himself. For the first time in history, a wyvern is being controlled without the use of a bionic neural link by a Terran who had only been here for a short while. And the wyvern came down to submit itself to the person who wants to mount it, Dula continued. The only way that this wyvern can be controlled this much is that Astra owns it or has a strong long history with it. But as far as I remember no one, not even our ancestors had ever owned or controlled a wyvern like this, prince Adriel thought. We have to get to the real history of Astra, we must find out who she truly is, he continued. Despi
**EARTH, FEDERATION MEGA BASE**Carter leaned on the table in the lab thinking about the mess he had caused and what might have happened to the core emerald ghost squad members. Regrets filled his heart and sweat rolls down his cheek anytime he thinks about what to tell the council members. It's been almost ten hours ever since they left to go get the lavender. The last time he heard from them was when Elena contacted him to inform him that there is no more lavender on the roof top in Tokyo. Have they been caught by the aliens? Have they been killed? What is happening to them? He asked himself several times. He picked a communication table on his desk, and tried to reach them, but again no one is responding to the device on the ship. As for that of Elena, he can't seem to understand why the connection never goes through. The weekly briefing meeting of the federation is in twelve hours, what ever it takes, Rhoda, Jamie, and Elena must be present. Carter thought that the only way o
I do not believe in miracles or superstitions because I am a man of Science. But if this is not a miracle, then I certainly don't know what it is. God is real after all, but why does he choose to save me who does not believe in him. Carter let out a long breath when he found out his actions has not been discovered. This is a good opportunity to cover up which ever mess he has put the emerald ghost squad in. "Carter! Carter!" his thought suddenly got interrupted by the massive voice of the president who was waiting for Carter to say something but kept quiet and appeared lost in thought. "sorry Mr President, I will quickly go get the team ready for the journey" Carter thanked them and walked out very happy, although it still feels like a dream. As soon as he got back in the lab, Carter picked his backpack he had packed earlier and headed for the hangar. He got into one of the stealth ship and went out for the search of his team. He placed a tablet on the dashboard and projected a m
