Chapter 7 - A hug

"Hmmm something is not just right here" Lilith paced in her room with her hand creasing her chin. She just arrived at Nerwin and was trying to settle in before it gets to dinner time that they would be called to the dinning hall for their meal.

She was done unpacking and she was sure she put everything in its right spot but she still wasn't satisfied with the look of the room. Although it wasn't big because it was just one of the institute's single room but she was sure that wasn't the problem because she found it just right and comfortable. The bed was cosy and the view from her window was the training ground, which was totally awesome because she would always stay training conscious. 'Then what was the problem?' She asked herself, with her eyes darting round the room like she would spot it with one roll, but she didn't.

"Andreas l feel something is not right, but l don't know what it is" she turned to Andreas who just lay comfortably on her bed with crossed legs, not caring to know what she said as he seemed lost in his own thoughts.

"Andreas!" She called again, a bit louder this time jolting him from his thoughts.

"Hmm yes Lilith" she finally got his attention. "You were saying?"

"What were you thinking about" she asked him with a serious face and her hands on her waist. "You were so lost".

"Oh sorry about that" he quickly apologized. "I was just so engrossed with admiring the fact that this room is not stuffed with your obviously unbearable obsession with purple". On the contrary, that was far from what he was thinking about. He was actually thinking of reasonable stats he would present to his father when next he meets him which was today, the constellation day.

It was the same day they became lost, many years ago by the hands of Triven rangers. Ever since then, they had been lost somewhere in the universe that even their devices and satlites couldn't detect, to help them find their way out. The existence of some of the most powerful breed of their species on Omania now was not reality, but their illusionary powers were at work to help them exist in the planet but visible to no one. He was actually surprised that Lilith was able to see him that day he finally decided to come out open to her. He had being lurking in the dark of her shadow for a very long time since she was born, just because he felt she was going to be the key to him freeing his world.

From the instant she let out her first cry, he decided to be with her. However, that would not have been feasible if he had not taken it on himself to protect her mother from his father after he fufilled his aim of killing Phil her husband just because he believed that with his great potential lost, that would be a big loss for Triven and sweet revenge for him.

Actually, he was right. Phil was indeed a strong and powerful ranger and he weilded four superpowers which was very rare for a ranger. They were Telekinesis, Super strength, field force and most feared of all, chaos magic. So killing him was a big loss to Triven and it was not certain that there would ever be anyone like him, not even a slightest chance.

Nevertheless, he was not happy with Phil's death, but what could he say, king Radia will always be king Radia. He honestly had no reason to bother himself unnecessarily about the death of an enemy of his world, but he was with Lilith now for a greater course.

Phil held great potentials and he was sure it would be same with Lilith or even more. She might be the one he has spent long years searching for, the one that can save his world, save his people. The one that could revive their core and bring back their light. Yes! She could be the one and he was not letting her off him because eventually if she turns out to be the one, then that would mean that he could finally return home proudly and earn his father's love and the love of his people in it's abundance.

King Radia, after the fall of Gorgor sent him away on the mission to find the one with the power of light and bring him to Gorgor so as to resurrect their world. However, every year since then, on the anniversary of their defeat, he was to report his progress on this mission and also assure his competence. Now this was why he had been lost in thoughts. He had no idea of what to report this year.

Every single time this time of the year draws near, he was very sure his people and his father most especially had high hopes and expectations on hearing from him and he always lets them down. He just wished things would turn out differently this year.

He exhaled deeply. "It is just right and l don't see the anything wrong with it".

Yes purple! That was just what the room needed. She wasn't comfortable because her favorite color had no impact on the room except for her things and she. She really had to give it a touch of purple if she wished to stay here. Yes, she will do just that but wait, did he just her love for purple unbearable! No she can't take that.

"My love for purple is not unbearable, its unique. I was born with it. You can tell from my eyes and hair. I love purple and l am going to make everything about me feel and be the same, and if you think its unbearable to you then l would advise you get yourself a new room" she crossed her arms and backed him.

"Oh Lilith" he stood from the bed and walked to her. "I don't mean that you loving just purple is wrong, l only think its time you tried other colors, like blue, red, indigo, orange, and yellow. Let's just stop at the prominent colors in Triven" he smiled at her.

"Well that's your problem Andreas. I love purple and that's it. If you think l... "She was still speaking a bit angrily at him before she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Time froze for the two of them as they cut their argument and just wondered who knocked on the door and why the person was there.

*knock knock*

It came again, louder than the former.

"Who is there?" She called with all her attention on the door, but there was no reply. "Well whoever you are, l think you are in the wrong room!". She said again, after getting snubbed. But that didn't stop the knock, as it persisted and the one at it had no intentions of stopping.

She exchanged glances with Andreas before approaching door closely in her best defense pose in case if the person at the other side tries to launch an attack. She would have worried about weak over pampered prince Andreas, but luckily for them he couldn't be seen by anyone except her.

She got to the door and opened it slowly, stepping back and been ready for anything and she indeed got some thing.

A hug!
