I'm standing near the balcony looking outside the window.
It's like the cosmic rays are bringing their ships closer. I can feel it....
The Guffians ,the strongest ones in our galaxy, they've conquered hundred planets in our galaxy..but my God mother managed to sign a peace treaty with them. A treaty she worked all her life for, only for it to fail when Kayak got Zafira home.
Zafira...Princess of Guffia, I had only heard rumours of her beauty but when I saw her in person I got to know why my brother fell for her.
He met her at a friendly gathering between our planets in Guffia.
Her father was open for the treaty but that didn't mean he would accept Kayak a Xionian as his son-in-law. He would never let go of his beloved daughter. And here she is... in our castle with Kayak, they managed to escape.
I'm happy for them.. but I'm a citizen of my planet before a sister ,and it's hard for me to acknowledge the fact that my planet will have to suffer in the hands of the Guffians and pay the price for their romance.
They are ruthless and savage, they will take us as slaves.
I've heard Agnos.....Zafira's father....is coming for us with a fleet of a million ships.
In easy words...we are doomed.
He has his best fighters, who are undefeated in this whole galaxy... but we will have to fight them in order to protect ourselves till we find an other solution to our problem. It's not like we can send Zafira back home, she is family now, even if we did Kayak would follow her back to Guffia.
And most importantly they have someone called Valentine fighting for them.
He is said to be the best warrior in the whole galaxy.... undefeated in fifty seven wars, conquering other planets.
But I'm not scared we have Rhictor, our general and Henrik, my older brother.
Henrik is the best fighter in our planet. He and Rhictor taught me how to fight, even when not many women take part in wars. But I think it's very important for every being to know how to fight and defend themselves.
My raven flies around me as the morning wind hits me. I take a step back to look at myself in the mirror. I see a pair of purple eyes staring back..... my hair almost reaches the ground and my brown skin looks golden in the morning sun.
I hear a knock on my door and turn around to see Rhictor walk in. I know why he's here, he wants me to fight in the war. He looks stressed... even he thinks it's impossible.
'Dayara....I know Henrik will probably kill me for this but the Xionian army needs you, every soldier counts, we need you.... I need you', Rhictor pleads.
He is Henrik's best friend, most importantly he's like brother to me. I know he wants me to fight but Henrik wouldn't like that. He hates the idea of me getting hurt or worse killed. He doesn't understand, I would rather die than become a slave to the Guffians.
'I want to fight too Rhictor, I really do but Henrik he's just too protective. How....just how am I supposed to convince him into this? ', I say.
'I have an idea' he says, 'Be ready early in the morning tomorrow and go to the temple of Corpuscle, near the Green sea and hide there.
The fight will take place on the beach. As the battle commences blend into the army. '
I listen to his idea and instantly agree to it. I don't want to be a coward and hide behind the walls of our palace while men die on the battlefield.
Rhictor starts to leave the room, he opens the door but he turns around to face me, 'This war, it's huge Dayara...its not like I'm not protective over you too, it's just that I know you are good , like really good. All the best fighters are fighting in this war, how could you not. This is your chance to attain glory take it....it's yours.'
He walks out.
He knows me....I have always wanted to do something big for my people, to pay my family for taking me up from the streets of Xur and giving me the title of a princess. I'm grateful but I wanted a chance to prove my gratitude.
Now that I've got it I'm not gonna give it up.
I know Henrik will be annoyed but I need to show him that I'm capable enough to defend myself in the battlefield.
I'm gonna disguise myself into being a Xionian soldier tomorrow.
I look outside the balcony, the sun has risen high up in the sky, our city has awaken.
I see people preparing for the war they are taking their belongings off the streets.
Soldiers are practicing for the battle.
'Will we be able to make it out of this?' I speak to myself...only God Corpuscle knows.
