Chapter 14 - Romanov

Plato and Marlon met Romanov. Who is this? asked Romanov. A recruit, said Plato to the man now on his wheelchair. His legs had given up but his brain was still sharp as ever. An American? asked Romanov as he twitched his eyebrows. You do know that we are in a space war against them, said Romanov. Plato keep quiet and stood still before a person he held in high regard, perhaps more than his own father. I see a sense of hopelessness in this man, said Romanov. Put him in! he scoffed.
Marlon was relieved and smiled. Ah! growled Romanov and rolled away.

Planet Speroz

Seronn with his then group of Xenon warriors and Durovin traveled to the planet of Speroz. The planet was stuck with sun rays trapped in the atmosphere and it was a furnace. A burning furnace of a planet it was. Even the warriors were torn at the sight of the planet. What kind of people are living here? they asked between themselves in disbelief. Seronn looked from the craft into the ground. Who could be worthy here? he wondered. And who could possibly even live here? he thought. The craft landed and Seronn took a step on the ground. The others fooled hesitantly. The ground was burning hot and the heat waves were too harsh. There were caves at a fair distance. There! he said Seronn pointing at the caves. The company walked towards to the caves. As they entered the caves, they were welcomed by witches who wore black cloaks covered up till their head. Here?! wondered Seronn. These people are worthy? he was curious. He sighed and turned back. Not so fast, said the witches and cast a spell on them. They were stuck to the wall of the ground. Everyone was unable to move except Seronn. He made himself free of the curse and stood on the ground.

Araghast! said a witch removing the hood off her head. She was bald and the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Hey eyes were so mesmerising that he stood still. He was stuck to the wall like the others and could not move now! She spoke some words and all he could hear was the beauty in her eyes. He fell in love in an instant. And for the first time in his life he was willing to be nothing so that another person could be everything. She spoke a few curses in elvish and started to crumble his bones. Everyone wailednin pain but Seronn kept silent. Who are you! she asked him. What is your name? asked Seronn. She crushed his bones even more. But Seronn had felt it was enough. He broke anyway from the curse and removed his mask. What is your name? he came closer and whispered in her ears. She was Mesmerised by his charm. Eldreya! she replied. She pushed him away and tripped him down on the floor. I'm 300'years old, she said to him. Seronn could not help but smile. She came closer to him. And the moon? he asked her. Yes! she said. It is not the suns waves, she said to him. I brought the moon and hid it in the core of the world. Now the moon permenantly resides in the world, she said. As the conversation progressed, the ground itself shook. She is here! they said and stood still. Who could it be? said Seronn and looked outside through the holes of the caves. Trusks! he uttered. There were a dozen trusks and there were female warriors on them. In front an older lady rode the trusk. Wrong planet! thought Seronn. Eldreya dragged Seronn outside the cave and held him before the queen of the planet it looked like. Who is she? asked the queen. An intruder! said Eldreya. Hang them! Ashe simply said and got down from the trusk. Seronn was still smiling and looking at Eldreya. That is enough! she said and hit him hard enough that Seronn pretended to faint.
