A dark shadow ran zig zagging through tree and broken buildings, his hood covered his face and he ran carrying something in his arm; embracing it like it was the last child of the world trying to shelter it from the light of this evil moon that loom in to this doom era. Suddenly the figure turned as if hearing something coming from the river side, cast light to his dark face and brown eyes that flickered auburn color. He began to speak slowly;
"What was that I hear as if someone knocking on a door!" He began to circle around with caution to the area that the sound was heard, it came from the river a massive door kept slamming into the rock with every ripple of the wave that passed by. All of sudden with a quick reaction he slid down the river and lifted the massive door that had pinned down to the neck a young teen that either was alive or dead. He lifted hard and set aside the massive door with silence because he did not know what was out there in the unknown. Out there watching. Out there hunting. Out there waiting…
He gentle began to set his arm around the young girl, and began to left her up carefully but all sudden the girl woke with a shriek. Nevertheless, the man was quick to pounce on the young girl and cover her mouth and held her tight. He signaled with index finger to his mouth for silence and gentle tap her shoulder to help her out and slowly he lifted his right hand from her mouth, he began to explain in a low voice close to a whisper.
"My name Azriel, I came upon you pinned down by this massive piece of wood, I did not know if your alive but I had to check."
"Wh… What do you have under your cloak that you hide under your left arm, is it a knife…? A gun! Are you going to try to kill me too!" She blurted out without warning of the volume.
"Oh this, the only thing I can do with this is hope to bring light to this land that befell to darkness," saying this while showing her The Book.
Her eyes fell into the light of The Book as if a massive weight was torn off her broken frame, and she began to weep over The Book and then began to pound on it softly.
"I lost my whole family! They also had faith, look where they are now, a pile of ashes in the once holy city." She began to cry again but this time she wiped them away as quickly as slid down her dirty face.
"Enough crying we most move, there is something off about all this and at the same time you can tell me your name on the way to find some kind of shelter," Azriel replied as he lifted her up to her feet and embraced her as they made way up the oily slop.
"My name is Providence…" and with this she collapsed in to his wide shoulder.
Azriel put The Book on her chest and wrapped her arms around it and lifted the rest of her body. She was tall and slim but Azriel physical frame made it easy to carry her up the slippery slope. He knew that without the sun and a map he had no idea where he was going, all he wanted to do is to find the mountain and then the next step of journey would be unveiled.

"Ahhh…!" Najam held her right arm and collapse on to the round table and began to scratch away at her right forearm. Still in the council meeting, all eyes fell upon her and their surprise was seen as they stood in wonder, but Cathasch was quick to remove her left hand from taring even more flesh. As he did this there where now two stars one bright yellow as sun and the bright silver like platinum. That circle each other ever so quickly and then collapsing on each and exploding and then this would repeat again and again. Every time that the stars exploded the princess would scream.
"It burns… it burns make it stop!"
The five of the sister circles around to see what they could do to help her but nothing came to mind. Yet Kenoytah ever so wise went around her sister and pain brushed her hair upward and said;
"Rest your mind the pain will follow, and fall to rest until you can control this new found pain." With a pressure she added with her index and middle finger behind the neck, caused Najam to fell over on to the table and she was out as if given a sleep remedy.
"Sorry sister for applying force in this fragile situation, it is better a sound mind than a mind filled with chaotic thoughts." She slowly brushed down her sister long rainbow hair.
"Can someone please tell me what just happen." Cathasch said nervously not knowing what to do, since his princess was cast to sleep.
"I believe that there has been an encounter with another power that has collided with her specific star that is connect Najam…" Chaya stated while rubbing her eyes as in if deep thought and continued. "This other so call platinum star is of equal or greater force hence the attraction, the force of energy they give off is like Bipolar Star, they attract and attract and collide release this energy and separate and begin the process again; as we just saw. The only thing that I do not understand is the difference in color, as if it was a different star or planet; if we were talking about constellation but as we know this world, this realm is based a humanoid form like us. Yet the unbalance in power and to see two together, this means one or two things. That there is another power at work or that multiverse is try to fix this irregular darkness by add massive light to combat the abyss."
"Chaya you have some sound answer, but what if there is third option that it is nothing from above but that the reality of universe, so that anything can become this." Kenyotah statement made everybody in the room feel a little unease.
Nadezhda came forward and address the group with a firm voice.
"We must not linger in the meaning of what is happen, we have to come together and move to action and pick up haste. We must send the four chosen down to the realm and let them see with their own eyes, this sight that we have been blinded to see. For every moment we waste picking a correct action, the time lapse over to a darker fate. We must have courage and trust our own warriors to transfer the necessary information we so desperately need."
"I Brayleigh, The Princess of Hope agree, we must hope for a better scope of the unknown horizon and once we have our own on the land, we will be better informed." She said this while her curly raid hair moved about as if dancing with ever sway of her movement while she walked around the table.
"Valorous, you most send them to this world and bind them together with us so they can hear us and we can see what they see," Xaria order was with a gentle voice of love, that she controlled to the dot.
Kenyotah before this, step close to the chosen four and recited an ancient spell of three that burned three dots behind each of the warriors left ear.
"This will help you hear our voices and also for us to hear yours." She said this and moved aside given way Valorous to complete the rest of the spell.
Valorous all pale with blue lip stick and blue hooded robe, began to walk toward each of the four that were chosen, she moved like the gentle wind of a spring morning as if floating over the floor like a ghost. The rest princesses moved away and also the three warriors that would stay back. Which was Gabriel, Zadkiel and Arial, the most center and best fighter stayed behind to form a defense and will be their voice in the head for guidance of the four, to better their success in this unknown journey. The rest of the warrior stood in pairs, a nervous Cathasch with the fire head Raquel and Michael the brave with the lively Chamuel.
Cathasch did not know what to expect and saw Valorous move to the Michael and Chamuel first. They both knelt and she gradually with her paly hand with blue nail riddle with rings of all color, grabbed one by one and planted a gentle kiss on the forehead. They still were knelt and came to the last two, Cathasch knelt with Raquel, and Valorous repeated the action; feeling here burning cold kiss of frost bite that burn the forehead. The four knelt in semi-circle and she gradually recited a rhyme of old times.
"With this kiss I plant,
I riddle the mind with my magical rant.
With this kiss I planted,
In the middle of your forehead, I recite this chant.
That will bring you our voice and
You will grace us with your sight into the dark
I spark your mind with the gift of travel.
And I send you to a destiny unknown.
With this kiss I bless you with the strength
Of the Brave. A tribe, many sun cycles
Traveled beyond and prove their strength.
Yet I will all that is ill to fall on the injustice
And wish you for a safe return."
Cathasch dazed by the words felt his stomach churn and burn, Valorous made her way to the princess of star who was fast asleep, while her forearm burned brighter every moment. Valorous set her sister up right and knelt over her right forearm and gentle planted kiss on the lights that shined so bright. Najim shook and trimmer a little, but the action happened to the chosen four who began to fade in to specks of star dust, flurry around and the air like a wild tornado, causing dazzling display of light all around and then for moment of chaos they all disappeared. The cloud star dust was sucked into the forearm of the princess of the stars. With an implosion, the massive room book rattle in their place and space. All was done and gone and the ritual was done as the four warriors of the falls went to a fate that was best left alone in to the unknown.
