The chirping sound of birds was heard, the sun has risen, inside a tent at Redwood village was two girls who were sleeping in each others embrace.
Minutes has passed yet no movement from them, by the corner stood a beautiful young woman, she was putting on a Floral design gown that reached her ankle, her blonde hair was packed in a ponytail using a red ribbon.
Noticing that the girls had no intention of waking up, she slowly walk over to them.
" wake up beautiful maidens" she said while tapping both girls.
The girls sleepily turned but neither of them made any attempt in opening their eyes.
" it's time for your lunch" she said yet the girls weren't waking up. Panick kicked in immediately.
" young maidens?" she called out while shaking the girls. One of the girls suddenly open her eyes and stare at the woman.
" why so early?" Anita asked sleepy, the woman moved back to give the girl's some space.
" it's three in the afternoon, lunch is served at the dinning " Anita narrowed her eyes at the woman.
It
" what?" she asked the lady, just then, Priviler woke up from sleep, she rub her eyes sleepy.
Anita reached out and help her sit upright.
" what's going on?" Priviler asked.
" you girls need to come out, you can't say inside all day" and that was when, Anita and Priviler realise what was going on, thus both of them got up and followed the lady.
They walked passed so many tents, which made Priviler wonder what Redwood village is.
Finally they got to an open space, with lot of people sitting on the field, holding plate of food, some where already eating.
" this looks like a refugee camp" Anita whispered to Priviler who nod her head.
The lady led them to towards the people who suddenly stopped eating and was now staring at the three women.
" who are they Regina ?" a man who seem to be in his middle eighties asked.
" a protector brought them here last night" the Regina replied, she gestured for the two girls to sit down beside the man, the girls obeyed and sat down, Regina also sat down opposite them.
A young girl, who should be about eighteen or nineteen years brought food for them.
" thank you" Anita and Priviler replied.
Everyone then went back to eating, despite the hot sun, Priviler realise that the heat wasn't affecting them.
" so what are you girls?" Regina asked breaking the silence in their circle.
" I don't understand" Priviler said.
" Redwood village is more like a refugee camp, where creatures who are running away from Lothian brothers live, we welcome every creature as long as they're harmless" another woman injected.
„ we're humans" Anita replied nonchalantly.
" HUMANS!!" almost everyone exclaimed.
Now they understood why a protector brought them here.
" Zkora said something about the Lothian brothers and the rise of the ancient demons" Priviler said.
Regina nod in agreement.
" the rise of the ancient demons where the Lothian brothers fault, they were destroying everything and everyone on their way, therefore the demons decided to summon the ancients" Regina said as she scoops some rice porridge into her mouth.
" now that's where your destiny began" the man from earlier said.
" what destiny?" Anita asked.
" the rise of the ancient demons, led to the rise of what we call riders" another woman said.
" what riders?" Priviler asked.
" mystical riders, owner of mystical creatures"
" and who is Zkora? I don't see her" the man asked.
" she's the protector" Priviler said, even Anita nod her head.
" Hmm, it's hard for a protector to tell anyone their name, but Maybe you have an important role to play in this world, that's why she told you her name".

" Mom, Dad, why can't we go with you all to the ball?" Gloria asked her parents, honesty, she has already made up her mind to go with or without them, she already had everything planned out, with Cole, still she had to ask.
„ you've got school" her mother answered.
" oh c'mon, the ball is on a Friday night, Cole and I can come back on Sunday and still go to school on Monday" Gloria continued.
Cole on the other hand, didn't even bother himself, his mind is also made up.
" you can't go, your mother and I have other plans that might take two weeks" Mr Reynoldsburg answered.
Gloria simply stomp to her room, while Cole happily focus on his phone.
********************
She drank from the wine glass, before carefully placing it on the Mini table, the event planners were bugging her like bees, after all she's a billionaire no with a trillionaire's girlfriend.
Carefully she picked up the magazine which contain different types of dresses.
Honesty, she still doesn't understand a single thing that is going on but she chose to go with the flow.
One of the event planners place another magazine on her lap, she picked it up and stare at it .
" i believe the red gown will look good on you" the woman said,
Lauren didn't say a word, she just stare at the magazine.
" where is Massimo ?" she finally asked, surprisingly, she already missed that cold man like crazy.
" he should be in his study room" a maid who was standing at a corner answered.
Lauren, got up and tried to make out of the door.
" m'lady? He's name is maximum not Massimo" the maid corrected her with a smile. Lauren forced an awkward smile, she has completely forgotten that the man is an American.
" which way to his study?" she asked, Al these people are making her feel uncomfortable,only Massimo no maximum Hemsworth can make for some strange reasons to relax her mind.
" let me take you there" the maid offered, the event planners were slightly offended,
This is woman is desperately in need of Mr maximum Hemsworth's attention.
Well let's see how long she will last.
" okay" Lauren said,
Together both girls walked out, the event planners felt insulted, but they're not going to take this lightly from a nobody.
The three women look at each other as if communicating mentally.
