Now standing outside the client's door, Jane rang the doorbell and it was immediately swung opened by chubby little boy holding a batman action figure. He wore a green T-shirt with blue shorts and had a thick brown hair which almost covered his small fairly white face that had red rashes on it.
He quickly went back inside and screamed loudly on top his voice, which echoed all round the house that almost deafen Jane if not for her white earpiece which protected her eardrums.
"Mom! The package you requested for is here!", he impatiently cried out.
"Jim! Do you want to pull down the roof, huh?!", his mom snapped back at him as she hurried down the stairs to the front door where Jane stood. When she got to the door, she held the door half way opened and said,
"Now move your sorry ass up to your room, at once!", she ordered staring angrily at Jim who went away to his room, sobbing as he climbed up the stairs.
"Where's the parcel", she asked Jane bringing back her mind to reality for she was wondering how Jim felt at that moment
"Oh I'm sorry, here it is", replied Jane and handed the small brown parcel over to her,
"And please, kindly sign here", Jane said indicating the portion of the document and then gave the client the file which she did signed with her name writing it italic, "Amana Wesley",
"Thank you for the delivery", she said with bright smile across her face,
"You're warmly welcome, ma'am" Jane and returned the smile, "I'm just doing my job",
"Goodluck with that", Amana said and shut the door. Then Jane went back to where she had parked her red scooter which was on the other side of the road near two green hatchbacks. She ignited the scooter after carefully arranging the last parcel that is meant to be delivered to a client around 1pm, who lives twenty blocks away close to a nearby street basketball court.
She rode for thirty minutes to the client's neighborhood and parked a little distance away from the basketball court.
She alighted the scooter and began to untie the parcel from the scooter when something caught her attention towards the basketball court. A thought kept telling her to check it out what seems to be beckoning to her.
She obeyed as if being controlled and walked curiously to the middle of the court leaving behind the parcel on the scooter. When she got there, she saw no one around but only empty seats and the hustling wind swaying few grasses under the scorching sun.
"There no one here but for a moment, I thought someone was calling me.... Maybe I was mistaken", she said feeling perplexed, "I think I'll just leave then", she finally said and was about to go back to where she left the scooter when fireballs started appearing in mid-air similar to the ones she had seen at her old mansion eighteen years ago, in the flower garden behind the mansion when she was eight years old. And exactly this apparition she once saw back then, was the major cause of the devastating fire that burnt down her old mansion erasing memories of her foster father who she never met but only saw his photograph.
Slowly, the red fireballs swayed around in a circular motion, a little distance from where she stood in awe, expanding upwards and descended forcefully on the ground transforming into a strange figure with a red cloak that held a long staff which was purely made of red crystal. The cloak emitted a bright red aura that
completely engulfed Jane.
"You need not be afraid, Jane", it said in a deep hollow voice,
"Who are you and how do you know my name?", she asked still frightening by the strange figure standing before her,
"My name is Karz and I once serve your father as his trusted advisor a long time ago, when he was alive and still the leader in the city of Tyron before he died", he replied, "And I knew you from the day you were given birth to, by your real mother Asira soma, on the night when a red solar eclipse took place which lasted for four days", he said and continued,
"Your father, leader Razgar, knew at once that you were destined to be among the red wolf warriors that once led the great war fought by our ancestors, which drove out the evil forces out of the realm of Asteria that were present in the land of Zoa, hundred years ago. He therefore, quickly sent you to the human realm to a childless couple when you were still a baby",
"Hold on a minute, you mean I have been living with someone who isn't my real parents all this while, and why are you telling me this now? How do you expect me to believe what you are saying is true or not", she asked him now totally perplexed after hearing what he said,
"Yes, they aren't your biological parents, your father and I taught them ways they could teach you how to control your powers and of course, to keep everything a secret until you have mastered them but I'm afraid there isn't much time for that because another darkness is trying to take over the realm currently as we speak, so I have come to bring you back to true home ", he replied
"I know I have always been different from other people but my mom didn't mention that I was adopted, right? she asked still in doubt whether to believe or not,
He answered,"Believe it or not, it's true that you were adopted and as for being different from everyone else, your true self hidden inside of you makes you totally different as you actually are but not as a freak like you believe, for instance, don't you recall the incident that took place last year, at the party celebrating Texcom mobile sixty years anniversary",
"How do you know about that? Are stalking me or what?", she sneered at him,
"You need not make a fuss about it because I was merely obeying the order your father gave to me before he died, that I should watch over you here in the human realm, and protect you if you fall into danger or perhaps, someone else found out your true identity, that you aren't human", he replied and continued to speak, "Now you must go back with me to Tyron in order to prepare you for the fight against Vedon, leader of the dark sect",
"If I go with you, can I come back again to this realm", she asked,
"Yes you can, but that's your decision to make after fulfilling your duty by saving Asteria from the dark sect that threatens the safety of all the realms", he answered and moved his staff with his magic powers, towards Jane and transformed into her real form.
"What is this?! Change me back this instant!", she cried out in utter surprise at her sudden new appearance which freaked her out a great deal, for she barely recognized herself as she looked all over herself with amazement, for her skin had turned red which glowed all over her body while her eyes were blue and a strand of her black hair had turned blue.
"I can't do that because you need to keep this form in order to survive the harsh gasses present in the realm of Asteria, which no human being can survive", he replied,
"Okay I understand and I agree to follow you, but what about my mom? Does she know that I am going with you?", she asked after relaxing her mind for she was scared of what she has become,
"Don't worry about that, I have already told her about your urgent departure to where you were born", he answered and then turned around with his back facing Jane, opened up a wide portal revealing a vast lands that stretches far towards distant mountains with a pale orange sky over them.
