Lexi's POV I hear the churning of something.... Like a spacecraft. I stand up, although I tried…but I couldn't, because my hands and my legs were fastened to something soft, a bed. I look around, assessing my surroundings, I was placed in a crater, like the cot of a new born but this was much more bigger and there was a bubble like shield covering me from the outside or were they trying to protect themselves from me. I knew that I was abducted by the people of Tar. I still remember standing in my room and hearing the explosions, I heard footsteps in the hall way and I was about to go under my bed to hide when my door opened and there was nobody there... The invisible bodies... I thought to myself. I heard when Hans was discussing about them, you can't see them but they can see you and they're terribly looking. I was still there stocked and frozen by fear when I felt something lift me up from the ground and ran out of the castle with me screaming on its shoulder
Jax's POV The words leave King Cypher's mouth and the Moment the meaning rests on my chest like heavy metal, I look up at him. His eyes were dark with rage and wickedness... When I look at him, what I saw was a greedy man that I had served my heart to, a man that I had given a lot of things for, a man that I had relentlessly done his biddings and now when I am here in desperate need to help the only surviving family that I got, he's quick to tell me that I shouldn't do it.“The what would happen?." I asked him dropping my sword on the table that stood beside me. I was suddenly aware of everything, I was aware of every cell in my body. “What happens...." He said repeating my question as if he is asking someone else for answers. “Troy isn't here to advise you because he's dead, he's dead because you killed him... Now answer me if I do not go to fetch my sister what happens, who will.. someone has to. Don't think that I'd let my sister just die or perish in the hands of the
Jax's POV I lay on my bed, waiting till dawn breaks. It's been a month and one week since my sister had been captured by the soldiers of Tar. Immediately I see the first streak of sunlight, I stand up. I wear my clothes and I hurry to the market. I had an appointment with a store owner, I enter into the store. The owner of the store is waiting for me, he's short and he's stocky. He's chewing on something, maybe gum.“You're here early." He says trying to make conversation.“Well you said you'd be out early." I tell him and he shurgs.“Here." He said handing me the container. I stare at it and I put it into my pocket. I pay him for the item.“One drop of that would paint a sea red..." The man said laughing.“I didn't ask you, did I?." I ask him and his smile turns into a smug.“Well, you're right." He starts to say, and even before he completes his statement, I was out of the store. I wait for the right time when King Cypher would be alone in his throne room. I wa
It's evening Late evening. King Cypher is furious. His vineyard and his royal barn and garden has been lit on fire, the water is red and it tastes gruesome but King Cypher's heart is still hardened.“What is he trying to prove?." King Cypher asked the moment he found out that Jax had lit his garden on fire.“We'll get another supply of water!." He said merrily when he heard that Jax had polluted the water supply.“What are a few grapes going to do to me?." He asks slightly frustrated when Jax had burnt down his vineyard. Then the orchard, he took a little to heart and asked that if Jax is found, he should be brought to the palace stressing the 'IF' meaning that Jax should not be searched for. Hes a stupid man, I had heard a messenger say while washing her hair with the water that Jax had polluted. It was King Cypher's order that the staff of the kingdom that had lesser jobs should use the contaminated water.“It's water after all, isn't it?." He asked.“Indeed, he's a stupid
Diane's POV He walks towards me, I don't see him but I hear his footsteps. Quick and precise, as if he thinks of where and how to step before his foot touches the ground. I feel his hand in my hair before I hear him say he's sorry. But it's not his fault I want to tell him, he's a prisoner to my father... A slave... Slaves don't have options but freedom and escape. A slave that is given the armour of a commanding general. “I'm sorry " I say to him instead. For trying too hard and making him stress about it when he dosen't even know what happened to him. I was there that night, hiding far away from the dungeon house, just somewhere that my father and Jax wouldn't notice. I saw them walking in with the gas tank and mask. I saw them call the other guards to lift Hans' body and take him back to the teleporting room as if he had just arrved for the first time. I saw him after that time. He was a strong man, I didn't know what he was before the system, I met him after
Jax's POV My whole happiness seized the moment my eyes fell on their hands, the way they held on to each other. Diane smiled at me and her father called her to his throne. She looked shagged... Her hair was not like the usual, it was as if she hadn't had the time to brush it.They were together last night, I concluded. I take my sister's hands and I give a small bow.“Where are we going?." She asked me, then I realized that she had been gone the time they built the qauters so she wasn't familiar with it.“My quarter." I told her briefly.“Jax... I have something to tell you" she tells me. I stop walking and I turn to examine her.“Sorry... I haven't asked you... Are you alright?."“You've asked me if I'm alright like a million times and I told you I am. " She said rolling her eyes.“Okay. What is it you wanted to tell me." I asked her.“The people of Tar... They're not what we think they are. They're good people." She says and I pull her I to my quarter.“I know." I tell he
Sirius's POV.I walk out of the bedroom, holding Capocus in my arms. I walk over to Han's bedroom, I knock before I open the door. He's fast asleep, and beside him is the princess, Diane. “Seems like someone had a great night." I said to myself chuckling lightly. Thankfully, Hans and Diane only stir hut they don't wake up. " Let's go. " I say half to Capocus and half to myself. I go to the garage and I find my ranger, the one Hans had gifted to me. I drive to the market where I was going to buy fresh fruits and food items. In the palace, things were scarce because Jax had burnt down half the food supply, it was common now to see messengers from the place, even ladies in waiting, coming to the market to buy fresh food. “Hey, what do you want to buy?." A trader called out to me. “I have hot meat madame." He says following me.“Don't worry sir. I don't want to patronize you." I say to him trying as much as possible to avoid the pestering man that was following me like
Hans POV I feel her hands caressing my shoulders, I touch her fingers and I know they belong to the princess. “Good morning." She says to me.“Good morning." I tell her sitting up. I run my hand through my hair and a knock on the door makes me alert. I wear my trousers fast and I go to see who it is, it's a soldier.“Good morning commander." He says to me.“Good morning." I tell him.“King Cypher asked that Princess Diane comes down to the throne room to hear some preceding." The soldiers say." Okay, I'll inform her." I say to the soldier and I walk back into the bedroom.“Your father wants you to go downstairs." I tell her and she covers her whole body with the blanket.“I'm not going any where." She whines. I laugh and shake my head turning to the LED disaply clock on my table. It's very late, I think to myself.“Diane, did you tell your father to give me another room separate from Sirius?." I ask her and she crawls out of the blanket.“Sure." She says matter of fa
