Astra stood there confused as to what is going on and yet still, what she should do now.

“I should probably just fly out of here right now, I have done enough and saved the child and looking at them, they may not kill them even if I leave now. But then what if they do and where exactly am I going to if I leave? These wings can fly well but unless I can make them dissipate like the aether ones the real me have, I cannot just live along these people, they will either try to catch me with a bird trap or start to worship me like they are right now” Astra thought to herself, getting carried away by her thoughts and forgetting about the people in prostration that have surrounded her.

She opened her wings wide and point her finger at the King, and the clergy man.

    Then again, Astra found herself in the sky once more, fling with all her might alongside others who are winged like her and dressed like her and all heading ton what she can now see as some sort of castle in the middle of the sky.The castle looks more spaceship-like than an actual castle to her however, and it is so high in the sky that its entrance is the only thing that is with the sky and the majority of the rest of its body is in space.Some of the winged female soldiers have already arrived at the large entrance and passed through it straight into the castle. Astra turned her head around and saw that there are now an uncountable number of the alien creatures swarming after them in the sky, catching up to the ones that are tired and butchering them with their claws and feeding on them as they fall from the sky.This is even more terrifying for Astra than the fact that she just keeps finding herself in random places. They have arrived in the space near the castle and a few gigant

    As the alien queen’s ship begin its course to entering the atmosphere, heading straight towards where Astra and the remaining winged soldiers are, she suddenly disconnected. The queen listed her hands and when Astra came to be and opened her eyes, she was crying inside the small ship and the queen was transferring all of her dimensional ring items in storage to her.“From now on Astra, your single most important job is to make sure that no matter what happens, you don’t get caught by the gobbler queen, if she absorbs your life essence and gain the ability to harness aether, she will be unstoppable and will travel from one end of the cosmos to another until she has absorbed all living beings. So no matter what, do not try to come back here or stay in one place for too long. That is my sin and I will pay for it today.” The queen said“Wait, while I somehow understand why I have to keep running from her, but I still don’t understand why the gobbler queen has Jada’s face!” Astra said and

The next morning, they reconvened and continue to practice all kinds of flights and cloaking techniques of the suit, and they even test out the cloaking under certain kinds of camera to see if it could be seen but not infrared, sonar, Rader or even X-ray camera could detect the suit’s camouflage.In the evening, each of them got a two hours’ notice to get ready and report to the hanger for the mission.

Elena shot a large beam of energy at him, hitting his shield so hard and cracking it.“Impossible! This is Terra and there is no way the Terrans would have aether when even the empire could not wield it. We fear that power so how? How in the world does a relatively backward species such as yourselves have it?” Jibo asked.But instead of an answer, Carter shot another wave of energy at Jibo without delay, it flashed as it made contact with the shield that Jibo has put up and all of a sudden, the entire place exploded hard, sending Jibo backwards and cracking his shield even more.

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

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

    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

    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.
