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. It is a dim

    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

    Claria followed them from behind in a distance that they would not notice them as they exit the forest. “The narrative about the prince being a pampered spoiled noble that cannot even participate in the royal houses games. But he is a noble after all, if he can wield the helion sphere without being turned to dust, he is not to be underestimated.” She said to herself, activating her gravity boots and to keep up with them.About fifty meters in the front, outside the forest, Astra and the prince have just gotten out of the forest, the sight in front of her was unlike she has ever seen in her entire life. Adriel and the guards, including the books she has read about the regions outside the empire’s five colonies.‘They keep calling it a desert each time they talked about it, but that could not be more misleading because this is not exactly a desert. It is not wrong though to call this a desert but it would be more appropriate to call this a wasteland.’ Astra thought.The planes extend as

    **(HOUSE ESTELONA, CENTAURIAN EMPIRE.)** Shina emerges from the dark alleyway that leads to the sacred place in the Estelona territory, the chamber of darkness. Wearing his usual all dark attire that has a hoodie covering his entire face, he was greeted by his shadow legion that has bee waiting for him at the edge of the shadows scattered all over the place. “My lord, an esteemed guest has been waiting for hours to see you.” The leader of the legion said and bowed his head down. Shina walked past him slowly, from behind, the shadow legion already know what to do, scattering all over the place instantly and following him from the shadows as he walks down to the entrance of the guest waiting room. As son as he opens the door, he was met with the stench of grease and engine lubrication oil. On the seat reserved for him sat the gigantic image of King Skar of house Tyra munching on the meat he has asked to be served. With food still in his mouth, he said. “Look who finally decided to

    Back in the abandoned plane of the outer territories of the Centaurian empire, Astra stood at the edge of a mountain together with prince Adriel, from behind them, a large horde of different kinds of monsters have gathered having noticed them thanks to Adriel’s carelessness and inability to conceal his presence as they move. In front of them is the lava field, as far as a two hundred meters in front of them is a region that is scorched by focused rays of the sun. the floor of the region is heated by \solar beams so hot and concentrated that the rocks on the ground become red hot while the sand melt and form glass. A majority of the region is covered by the red hot rocks that radiate heat for Astra to be feeling light headed just by standing near the lava field. Astra raised her head up and looked at the sky, she saw an incredible thunderstorm gathering above, from side to side, pierced by the beams of the sun that are heating the floor of the lava field. “This region called the lava

    As soon as they were out of the lava zone, Astra brought them down and Adriel was still not settled. He looked up above them and kept staring upwards. The beeping on their bracelets continued once again, showing them the same massage it has warned them with earlier. Watching the sky to see what exactly that means. All of a sudden, A bright light shone in the sky, making all of them understand what they had to do. “That is a large meteorite shattering upon hitting the atmosphere, it looks like the fragments will be raining down on this region a few minutes later. What do we do now?” she asked. Adriel turned around and twisted his ring, another golden tablet appeared in his hand and he pressed many thing at the same time that although she could watch him do it, Astra has no idea what he was doing. As the light of the meteor shower brightens up with thousands of fragments heading their way, Adriel finally finished setting up whatever it was that he was using the tablet to set, he tur

    Back at the forest outside the walls of the Estelona regional colonies, five shadow assassins lurk in the shadows of the forest awaiting the arrival of their traveling companion from the Tyra colony, one of the unbeatable five of Tyra. Each of them dressed in pitch black suits that can absorb all light around them in a fairly lighted area to blend in with the shadows, the suits cover every part of their bodies with a hood on top that covers their head and masks to cover their faces. The five assassins have been tasked specifically by their master, Lord Shina, to travel all the way to the center of the abandoned plains of Centauri. They have arrived an hour ago but have yet to meet their travel companion from the Tyra household. The assassins came out of the shadows and assembled under the canopy of the forest. “Who exactly, from the unbeatable five, is it going to be? It will better not be Sting. If it is her, I don’t think I can work with her. Aren’t we even better off carrying out

    “Why were we not able to see it at all earlier? We were in their nest this whole time and we had no idea at all. How is that possible?” Astra asked. “That is because of the black widow’s special trait absolute camouflage. But if you noticed, nit is not only the black widows that we did not see, even the pile of dead Argonaut demons was invisible to us until we washed our eyes with the spectral fluid.” Adriel said, rolling his eyes to the left to see if there is any of the black widows that has noticed them. “They have a unique biology, just like many other living things, they have developed and evolved to what they are today to suit their environment and enhance their survival, the black widows have an eye that can see light in a mixture of the infrared and ultraviolet spectra that other species can’t see. Their bodies produce a mucus that resonate and absorb only infrared and ultraviolet spectra of light, making it invisible to us and other species.” “The liquid we washed our eyes

    Astra saw the look in the female guard’s eye, she remember her well enough, from when she hid in the pool chamber and watched her, to the duel she fought with the black knight back in the Agnus castle, she knew that the guard has had an eye out for her all along, the way she looks at her and the reaction she has on her face whenever their eyes met. “This is different now, in her eyes I am but an enemy of the empire, probably a lowly Terran who by her standards has no rights in the face of her superior existence.” Astra said to herself. She landed prince Adriel by the side and retrieved her five blades, keeping them activated and floating just above her head. Adriel’s helion shield deactivated instantly, his face looks a little tired to Claria and he has not said anything. “I knew it, the helion heart is really weak without the commandment, if I want to wield helion artifacts I will need the commandment after all, the effects on my body are huge. I feel so dizzy and out of it.” Adrie

    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. They kept looking at him in the most awkward manner. King Jeroth stood up and walked towards skar, then he turned after

We don’t need to join forces with anybody” Hector replied.“You know how strong the aliens are. All humans must fight together. We have weapons. Very sophisticated weapons” sergeant Brook said.“Am sorry. You have to leave now” Hector replied.Disappointed and unsure of who these people are, sergeant Brook simply stood up and turned back.

    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. As the man is turning and trying to find the best standing position, which doesn’t seem to be happening, he felt a person behind him.

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.

She kept looking around trying to find a way to escape this difficult situation.The only openings in the room are highly protected and guarded to prevent her from coming out at all cost.

But Bolo and several others know that it is definitely not a coincidence that the three leaders came with lots of guards.The meeting is in Bolo’s palace and he is suppose to be the most feared, but today, he seems like the weakest and least feared. But this is only because he has relieved his massive submissive guards.Few minutes later, when everyone was tired of waiting, Bolo stepped into the meeting hall. His arrival is so not what anyone expected it to look like.There were no much guards standing by, or any form of adequate protection any where in the whole palace, and now, Bolo has stepped into a meeting room where no one is smiling with nothing but a female white girl on his side.When Bolo entered, a few people in the hall murmured and
