STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: A SHADOW-PAIR
“Wait! Can he see or hear us?!”Etanai suddenly raised his hand and intense whips of blue lightning blasted against the nearest wall. “Who are you?!”Lightning cracked off the tips of Etanai's fingers, his eyes darting around the cell as he sought out answers to what was going on. Two presences had set off his sixth sense, and yet, no figure could be seen."Meadow, I think he can hear us."“Shut up, Shall! There’s no way…”Etanai's ears followed the sound to the wall opposite the one he had blasted and he released another trail of lightning that sent the concrete wall flying everywhere in splattered rocks. "Star blast!" He had never felt a looming sense of danger as he did at this moment. He felt a false sensation of pins down his back; these two presences reeked with fearsome auras. “Ha! Told ya, Meadow!” The first voice – a squeaky yet masculine tone – let out.It was then Etanai picked up on a movement. He dissipated the lightning whips and rushed to activate the switch function o
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: THE SAME VISION
The Temple of Wisdom’s Intelligence Unit is one of Comet Tower’s most important departments. They are responsible for gathering all classes of information concerning the temple from around the world.“Rubbish! This is slander!” The eleventh pillar couldn’t help the bitter expression on his face. It was hard to convincingly deny such a report made by their very own intelligence unit.“Elder Change, calm yourself.” Elder Kissani sent a discreet look before turning back to Eshya. “Priestess, may we see this report?”Eshya handed over the file to Elder Kissani who began going through it with Elder Change. Meanwhile, Elder Rowan’s posture remained straight and her eyes didn’t shift away from the holy star symbol in the slightest; this, however, was a staring challenge Eshya was willing to put up with. The priestess wasn’t going to cower before this woman at a time like this.“Aren’t you also gonna check for a possible sign of fraudulence?” With folded arms, Eshya nodded at the woman with
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: DECIPHERING THE PERSISTENT VISION
“What did you see?” Elder Tobias picked up the cup of tea before him with shaky hands and he took a sip while his eyes darted between the expecting faces of Elder Niola and Gambit. "It's the same vision as last time; those figures on the ground, screaming in agony. They still lay helpless before me." He put down the cup as the warmth from the herbal concoction seeped through his body. "An insistent vision becomes an imminent one." “It’s seems that way.” Elder Niola glanced out the large windows. “The issue now is deciphering the vision right and properly preparing as much as we can for it.” Gambit had his head down in deep thought for a while before looking back up. "Could it have something to do with the stolen cargo we were discussing?" He found the pillars' gazes on him. "I'm aware Pillars sometimes have visions that are triggered by a conversation. What if the incident at Kalion forest is tied to this?" “In what way would that be though?” Elder Niola’s gaze returned to the room
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER THIRTY: DELE, VITA, AND ODETTE
Etanai felt his stiff body loosening up as he conjured enough strength to open his heavy eyelids. A groan escaped his lips as he found he had passed out on the ground.“You’re finally awake.” Etanai jerked up into a sitting position to find it was Gambit, occupying his one-seat sofa. “Get up, boy. You should go freshen up; you look a mess. By the way, weren’t you taught the habit of maintaining your space?”Etanai followed his gaze while getting up on his feet. To the walls, he found the existing proof of what had happened before he passed out. His body shook slightly. “Those shadows! Head Instructor, there were….”Gambit halted his words with a raised palm. “I know, my boy. I saw everything. That’s why I’m here” His hand then gestured to his left. “Go shower first.”Etanai gently nodded before walking away to do as he was told. A quarter of an hour later, he returned much-refreshed in a new outfit. The temple had provided him with a full set during his stay in his cell, courtesy of
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: THE SEIZED SHADOW’S PART
“There’s a great imminent incident that might befall the temple. Then we have the temple’s military properties that have been hijacked by the Scripture Rejecters. It seems they getting bolder.” Eshya’s looked to the third pillar. “A troop of our military men and women lost their lives and five truck-loads of Aster-Firearms to them and a….crocodile.”Elder Tobias held a finger over his mouth as he laid back in his seat. "That's everything so far."“Know that we do not want you thinking too much about this, Priestess. That is our job as the twelve pillars of the temple.” Elder Niola placed a comforting hand on Eshya’s hand. “You just need to focus on consolidating your powers and bonding with your warriors. You will need these if you’re to enter a Soul-Bond of Constellations with them.” She looked up to find Eshya with slightly wide eyes and her body suddenly went stiff. “Priestess, what’s wrong?”“It’s Etanai, he needs me!”The third and second pillars shared a glance before the forme
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: BEAUTIFUL EYES AND PLUMP LIPS
“You two did it, right?” Elder Rowan stared at the fifth and eleventh pillars sitting across from her with reserved emotion on her face.There was a smirk on Elder Change’s face. “That was the plan, wasn’t it? We successfully got the priestess looking quite incompetent in that hall.”Elder Kissani chuckled with delight as he took a sip of his wine. “Let’s see if she dares to show off before us ever again. She forgets her status would be nothing in the eyes of the people without us there to lift her up.”“Enough of this for now,” Elder Rowan interjected with a lazy wave of her hand. “Talking about that spoilt brat would only sour my mood.”Elder Change raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter? Still pissed she spoke to you that way?”Elder Rowan gave no reaction to that. “Let’s talk about something else.”The next hour was spent chatting away at random happenings they had recently encountered. After this, the fifth and eleventh pillars bid their farewells and left the fourth pillar’s qua
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: HONORING THE STATUS
“Why did you guys call me over at such an early hour?” Eshya walked into her father’s living area with puffy eyes. She found him and Gambit seated as they consumed their breakfast.“Join us.”Eshya looked at her dad with skeptical eyes before walking over. “I can’t remember the last time you invited me over just to have a meal with you.” She saw the guilty look on the middle-aged man’s face. “And I’m guessing today’s not that day either.”Gambit stifled a laugh, which earned him a pissed glare from the third pillar so he pretended he had choked on his tea. "That's my cue."Eshya saw the head instructor getting up. “Where are you going?”“Oh, I’m not part of this conversation. That’s between you father and daughter.” He began heading for the door. “I have a lightning warrior to train.” He turned his head back at Eshya. “Is the boy up?”Eshya nodded her head. “He should be. The temple servants say he tends to wake up very early.”Gambit ‘mmhed’ in understanding and he left.Eshya turned
STAR-TRAIL BETWEEN US CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: THE DOMINANT DISPLAY
“That bitch! She stole my arms. Look at me now! Who does she think she is?!” Meadow floated back and forth in the air as she was fuming. She had two worm-size appendages, wiggling where her arms should have been. The lanky shadow sat on a rock as he stared at his sister with worried eyes. “Meadow, you need to calm down. Fretting won’t solve anything at the moment.” "Shut up, you stupid twig!" Meadow turned her fury on her brother. "You are good for nothing. You just floated there while that little brat did this to me." A sadistic smirk spread across her chubby face. "I should tear you apart right now and keep those arms of yours for myself. It's the least compensation you could give me. You hardly use them anyway. You're a useless waste as a sentient shadow." She lunged forward and quickly wrapped her mouth around one of Shall’s hands and she began munching on it. “Ow! Meadow, stop it! You’re acting crazy!” Shall let out a whine as he backed away to no avail; his sister refused to l
