**(House Estelona, Centaurian empire)**

Shina Estelona, the head of the Estelona household and the king that rule the Estelona kingdom as one of the five kings ruling the Centaurian empire. Shina sits in the chamber of darkness alone, without any visible guards or palace decoration as the rest of the four kings usually have.

The chamber of darkness has been the only place in the entirety of the empire where no one other than the direct royal blood descendants of the house has ever set foot in. Shina is the only king in the five hundred years of the empire’s history that no one truly knows anything about.

For as far as the rest of the kings are concerned, Shina could be a man or a woman, since the only requirement for ruling in the empire is strength, and Shina does possess that. No one ever knows the history of the Estelona house, their kings never make their house matters public, the queens were never seen in public, neither the children.

    “So here is the deal, I know I already told you that I am a prince but I have not told you anything about my current position or situation in the empire, anyway, since you saved my life despite being an alien who has nothing to do with me, I am going to show you something you will remember even after you go back to your world.” Adriel said.Astra was not sure of what the prince jus said, but she could only agree as since she has no other choice. ‘I can always take his stuff and blend in with the rest of the people if I have to. If he has an ulterior motive, I will end his life before anyone learns of my identity.’ She thought in her head as the two of them exit the underground pool chamber.Astra was expecting an alien city full of alien architecture and technology. But as soon as they were outside, Astra was met with complete darkness, engulfing everything. Aside from the night lights, she can see that extension for as far as her eyes can see. There is nothing in else visible except

    “I want to help you go home as soon as possible but before we do that, there is something I must do. My father will be making an announcement in the next ten days that I will be taking a hellish trial that will certainly kill me. It is so impossible to pass and I can only chose one guard to go with me.” Adriel said.“So you want me to be that guard?” Astra asked.Adriel walked in front of her and gave her a large book on his hand and said.“Yes, once I pass the trial, I will become a worthy heir of the Agnus house and with that, I will have the authority and access to warp technologies that can help you get back home. But It wont be as easy as it is sounding right now.” Adriel answered.Astra collected the book and checked it’s tittle.“The Origin? What is this about?” she asked.“You read it and tell me! I will be in my chambers sleeping, there is food on the table and a room at the end of the library, you can use it if you want. Do not roughen up the book, it belonged to my late mot

    Adriel walked to the bench that Astra was sitting on and sat, he grabbed the book in front of her and dragged it on across the table to his front before he finally said.“Listen Astra, I know you may not trust me, being the prince of an empire that is currently invading your home planet but listen to me please. My people believe that Terra belongs to us and for a good reason. If there is anyone that wants to settle a coexistence plan with the Terrans, it is me. I have so much to tell you about but for now, I want to ask for your trust.” He said as he stares at Astra.At first she wants to demand he tells her everything before she could trust him but she realize the seriousness in his eyes and the determination in his gestures.“Lets say that I trust you, what exactly do you want me to do?” she asked.“You remember that I told you about my father Agnus Kai right?” he said.“The king of this territory yes, you said we will meet him in ten days.” Astra answered.Adriel stood up and looke

    As Astra watched the hands of the female guard shatter the shield, she knew immediately who her opponent would be. ‘I must watch carefully how she fights and come up with effective ways to counter her attacks or there is no chance for me at all.’ She thought.Back on the ring in the middle of the arena, the black knight has regained balance and stood back up, he threw away the shattered fragments of the shield he is still holding and grabbed the large club he is holding with two hands now; he dashed back towards her at full speed, this time around however, the female guard started running towards him as well.The two of them met in the middle of the ring with the black knight jumping into the air as high as a person his size could get, at the peak of his jump he placed the club on his shoulder and started swinging it sideways as hard as he could.Astra was expecting the strong female guard to use her hands to block the large metal club since she was strong enough to shatter the shield

    As soon as Astra and Adriel went back to the his castle, she walked straight to the library and washed up, when she came out of the shower a servant was waiting for her with some clothing that Adriel has personally asked them to get for her.She collected the clothes and dismissed the servant; as soon as she finished dressing, she went back to the library reading area and found him waiting for her.“You are finally out, I thought you would take forever to come out of your room. By the way, you should know that although I know this is just a disguise appearance, I should let you know that you look gorgeous in the dress!” he said.Astra was in a dress that resembles what she would call a gown by standards back on earth, but she is not sure why Adriel will want her to wear such a fancy dress the night before they embark on a perilous journey that is so dangerous to be used as a yardstick for evaluating might, courage and ability of he next king of an important house in the empire.”“Well

    Astra’s mouth was wide open at this moment, she was already out of her seat and pacing up and down the library.“You mean to tell me those spheres were only drones?” she said, coming to a stop in front of the prince again. Standing face to face with him at the moment, looking into his eyes with an intensity that Adriel knows will freeze anyone who is not of royal blood.“Let me ask you one final question Prince Adriel Agnus. Depending on the answer you give, I cannot guarantee what will happen next. Just what does your fancy empire view us humans as? Your appearance and bodies may be a little different from us right now but you are still humans no matter how I look at it.” Astra asked.Adriel stood from his seat with fresh sweat breaking on his forehead from the scary look in Astra’s eyes.“Unfortunately, the Centaurian empire does not categorize the Terrans as equals. Although intelligent, the five kings have decided to disregard the rights of your people. Normally, we would be the o

    At first the treasury room was dark, but as soon as the two of them stepped inside, the entire treasury lighted up.Astra took a careful look around and saw shelves and shelves of assorted books, guns, swords and all form of things that she has no idea what they are, or even what they are supposed to be used for. The shelves are arranged on the walls as far up to the ceiling of the room, they are all over all of the walls of the room.Adriel walked straight to the lower left corner of the shelves and picked a box from there. He walked back to where Astra was standing and opened the box in front of her, producing wo items from it. The first item being a black colored ring that has the same engravings on itself at the one that Astra used to get to Centaurus.“What is this for?” She asked.Adriel placed the ring on Astra’s hand and proceeded to pick out the other item from the box.“You were taking this by force from the black knight earlier so I thought that you may need it.

    From the distance of about two hundred meters from where Astra and Adriel are facing off the large gorgon, Claria was lying down on the gigantic branch of one of the trees in the forest, with a colorless beam gun in her hand pointed at the gorgon.‘That Argonaut demon is a gorgon, it looks pretty tough, it should be in its third metamorphosis stage before it transforms into a true demon, that is a royal helion spear he is holding a weapon that only the likes of my master can wield at the command of his majesty the king, but can the prince really take care of this strong demon?’ the female guard wonders as she take aim to assist the prince if he gets in danger without leaving any serious trace of her interference.Through her scope, she watched as Astra charges at the monster with only two shiny swords that can hardly do anything. “but she was able to dent the morphing blade of the black knight so maybe she can at least injure and weaken it for the prince to land the finishing blow.” S

    The three other leaders looked at each other hearing the manner in which king Near spoke to them. They immediately realized that they might have fallen into the wrong side.They turned to king Skar again and looked at him without saying a word to him. Then he began to speak again when he was sure that the last thing he said sank into their heads just the way he wants them to understand “first of all. I am going to be the supreme leader of all the houses combined together. The three of you are going to be my subjects that will answer to me. If you agree to that, you can go back and tell your subjects and also denounce your throne as kings. This is the only condition on which you will be joining the salvation ship to Terra, otherwise, you stay here and die”Shina, Jeroth and Akaris were speechless for a while trying to be sure that king Skar isn’t joking or mistaking.

    Astra has not done what she is expected to do but for some reason the primitives are cheering her up for cutting loose the man she is supposed to kill.The crowd is cheering because to them it takes an extra courage and lots of ruthlessness to kill the person and rip the persons heart after a fight with the person. And that is what they all thought Astra was about to do.Astra is now standing behind the man who is facing the other directions and backing her. The man seems to be a warrior or a fighter somewhere because of his good boxer’s standing position.Kira and Mita are standing right in front of him. Whole Astra is standing behind the man.

The only thing they want to do is to stay as far away from the aliens as possible.They got up quickly and began to walk without knowing where they are headed.“While we think we are running away from the aliens, we might actual be going toward them” kira said.“at least we will know the way we shouldn’t go” Astra replied.While commander Tyra and his drone soldiers are seriously searching, they seem to have gone the wrong way because Astra, kira and Mita have been walking for more than five hours now hoping that they ate heading the right way. Or anywhere far from the aliens.About five more miles on the same direction, Astra and her companions sighted the shore of a lake about ten metres out of the woods with fine white sand and a bright gentle flowing water.They were so happy that they could not wait to get there.
