"I'm sure you've told tales about meteors that crashed into each other in various parts of the world a few years ago." Nerissa started telling her story after everyone had finished eating.
"However, it wasn't a meteor that crashed to the surface of the Earth; rather, it was a spaceship with children on board..." Nerissa takes a moment to catch her breath and then gazes directly into Alexander's eyes. "And you are one of the children," she said.
Benjamin and Alexander exchanged looks, and both of their eyes sparkled with laughter that they were trying to contain.
"Does this mean that you're not from this planet?" As Benjamin shook hands with Alexander, he couldn't help but break out in a chuckle.
"The inhabitants of Earth refer to us as aliens... Because we came from another planet, people treat us like aliens when we are around them..." Nerissa laughed at Benjamin's jokes. "And Alexander is not your typical extraterrestrial..."
Benjamin's grin gradually lost its brightness as Alexander listened intently...
"From what I understand, we originated on the planet Ophiuchus and were dispatched to this location to guard our prince..." In addition, Nerissa signed her name. "The video I watched on my spaceship provided no specifics regarding what took place on our planet or why we were transported here..."
"Spaceship? Are you serious?" Benjamin remarks. Because he was unable to conceal his excitement, he continued to shake Alexander.
"Hmm, your story isn't making an impression on me..." After a considerable pause, Alexander breaks the silence. "Since I had pictures of myself as a baby, I find it hard to believe what you have to say..."
Nerissa observes Alexander with an expression of comprehension. "It is impossible for you to conceal your true identity... You, me, and the eleven other children who traveled to Earth with us possess special abilities."
"Alex, it's possible that she is being truthful..." Benjamin explains to his younger brother, "because we're kids, you can do a lot of things that I or any other child can't do..."
"Even though I am aware of that fact, I refuse to accept it!" Alexander maintains his position as paramount.
"Your ship from deep space... I know that it can be challenging to believe the story of someone you do not know, which is why I strongly suggest you check your spaceship..." Nerissa comments.
Because Alexander is having a hard time processing everything that has happened, Nerissa decided to withhold the disclosure of any further information that came to her attention.
Nerissa knows her astrological sign, Aries, and that her element is fire. In addition, it was her responsibility to keep Alexander apprised of everything.
"Hey, aliens are more high-tech; don't you have a device with a human appearing or something to explain everything?" "Hey, aliens are more high-tech." Benjamin enquired.
Nerissa responded, "I don't have one, but Alexander might," and she was right. She suggested that we go to your house and ask your parents about the location of your spaceship. "It's better if we go to your house," she said.
Alexander nodded his head in assent and said, "All right, let's go to my house after class."
————
"It's impossible for me to believe that Alexander is a prince..." Benjamin murmured. They had one more class left for the day and were returning to the classroom.
Where exactly did you land, and how did you come across me? Alexander asked while completely ignoring Benjamin's presence.
"Because my spaceship went down in a church in Boston, the people who took care of me as a child were members of the clergy and the religious order." Nerissa responds, "I've been researching the locations of the meteorite impacts from 16 years ago. Luckily, the one closest to me is the one at your location... Aside from that, this location has recently appeared in a few of my dreams. I had no idea what I was experiencing was a vision..."
"Even I have been dreaming for the past thirty days. The girl in my dream tells me to get away from her quickly. Are you familiar with her?" Alexander, you are to declare.
Nerissa gave a little shake of the head.
She responded, "I don't have a dream about a woman; all I dream about is this place." "I don't have a dream about a woman," she said.
The group instantly felt more at ease as soon as they started class. However, Alexander's thoughts were on the newly discovered information regarding his origins and the power he possessed. Alexander harbored the desire to learn more about his parents for a long time. However, once he did so, he struggled to come to terms with the idea that he was not a typical person.
After class, Nerissa accompanied Alexander and Benjamin as they walked home. Alexander was lost in his thoughts during the entire ride to school.
"Alexander, it's time to wake up! "Benjamin shook him. The bus has come to a complete stop, and the driver is waiting for passengers to disembark.
"Nerissa, you claim that you have powers. Are you able to demonstrate your power to us?" Benjamin made the request.
Nerissa began by casting her gaze in all directions to check that no one else was nearby.
Afterward, she got a hand ready and released the flame as quickly as possible.
"Wow! Please take a look at her, Alexander. She can work wonders with her enchantment!" Benjamin declared.
Nerissa quickly removed the blaze from her hand as she explained that each of your archangels possesses the ability to control a different element.
"Alexander!!!" They were being yelled at from a distance by Ana.
While Alexander, Benjamin, and Nerissa were talking to Ana, they paused in the middle of their conversation to walk over to her. "Mom, do you know where Dad is?" As Benjamin approached his mother, who was looking at his friends, he asked the question as she was looking at them. Alexander explains, "By the way, Mom, her name is Nerissa, and she is our new classmate." Nerissa is the new student.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going home with someone so I could have prepared dinner?" "Why didn't you say you were going home with someone?" As they entered the house, Ana made the statement.
"Aunt Ana, you know I'm always going to be with Alexander, so you always make an extra serving of dinner." A tangent from Benjamin here.
"I was wondering if I could ask you and Dad a question, Mom. It is very important." Alexander rudely intervened in the conversation and grabbed his mother by the hand. Ana let out a sigh as she observed Alexander's solemn expression; she was aware of the discussed topic between them.
Alexander continued his serious conversation with his parents in the living room for a few more minutes. In contrast, Benjamin and Nerissa remained in the kitchen to give the family space and time.
"I intend to tell you this before your upcoming birthday. I know you want to know where you're from and who your real parents are," Javier said as he began to recount the event that took place sixteen years ago in which they discovered Alexander and his spaceship. "I know you want to know where you're from and who your real parents are," Javier said. "I intend to tell you this before your upcoming birthday.
When Javier started telling his story, Ana couldn't help but break down in tears, and she didn't stop until he was done.
"Please accept our thanks, Mr. and Mrs. I'll never get out from under this mountain of debt. And even if I do one day locate my biological parents, that will not alter the reality that the two of you are acting in this world as my parents...." Alexander affirms this while simultaneously holding the hands of Javier and Ana. He continued by saying, "By the way... Nerissa is a carbon copy of me."
In front of Ana and Benjamin, Nerissa maintains a confident stance. "My name is Nerissa, and one of Prince Alexander's archangels has entrusted me with this important mission... We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to you, Ophiuchus, for all you have done to ensure the well-being of our prince here on Earth..." She bowed as a sign of respect.
As they consider Nerissa's demeanor, Ana and Javier give each other perplexed looks.
——————-
After some time, they went to the barn where Alexander's spaceship had been concealed.
"I've been putting it aside for you because I know you'll require it at some point. But I've observed that the sun has been out for the past few days in a row now." Javier remarked as he opened the lock on the door. It glistens brilliantly, just as Alexander's father had predicted it would.
Alexander moved closer and touched it; when it opened, he moved back to avoid catching his fingers.
"Is it possible that Alexander lives on a prosperous planet? Look at your ship—made entirely out of gold!" Benjamin is taken aback.
"It is not gold; rather, it is a mineral of exceptional quality found in our world. Alexander was wearing a necklace when you found him, Mr. Javier; could you please tell me where it is?" Nerissa enquired.
"I hid it since I know you will need it." Ana went up to Alexander and gave him the necklace and the dress he was wearing when he was found out. Alexander gave his mother a friendly smile.
Nerissa removed the pendant from the necklace and stowed it away in the spaceship. The group quickly retreated when a woman and a man came into view.
