Chapter 26 - A Mission with identity swap

"Ah, it's so bright."murmured Darcel in a low,slow and confused embedded tone.

The sun was shining bright over her head and only the portion of her close eye portals were shadowed by some sort of leaf and strange squiring sounds were coming from a distant background.

"Where am I, this place doesn't seem so distant."said Darcel, as she slowly opened her eyes, adjusting them to the bright rays of the sun.

She pushed herself up but it was painful and it took her a bit of struggle to even sit up and examine what was taking place, it was hard for her to say that whether it was because she was in a different environment that why she had struggled sitting up or was it because it felt like she had fallen down from a cliff.

"This, no it is too similar but where have I seen this place, where?" Said she somewhat in an exclaimed manner. She was pretty much surprised because this place looked oddly similar and then suddenly her head started to hurt.

"Why are you hurting now of all time?" Said she, while brushing her forehead with her palm, it seemed like she was having a hangover and slowly but surely her memories of the previous events were coming back.

"Ah! Now I remember, it is the second test and I came to this strange place because of that damn Prince."She recalled the scene in her brain and that was enough to make her squeeze her hands and knot them into a punch.

"Just you wait once I get what I want,then you…" she stopped midway. She was a trained high level power holder and she clearly knew that in any given circumstances she couldn't utter a single word about her purpose because it may sell her out if anything goes wrong.

"Why am I complaining? How can I forget the basic rule and also I have so much to do?"thought she, while releasing her hands and taking a deep breath.

She opened her eyes and turned to her sides in order to figure out where she was? And what type of test was that?

"This place looks like the sheinable city and judging from the deserted land it shows the time of the war."she said with a questioning tone when suddenly she heard a noise that seemed to come from behind.

"Who, Who is there?"she asked, turning to her side and taking a fighting position.

"Yo, why are you always so guarded? Do you only know how to fight."said Livion who stood leaning on the surface of a palm tree.

Darcel's eyes bewildered into amazement because the last thing that she could expect was this arrogant,cruel and crazy prince to accompany her here.

"I thought you said that you don't have to give any test as you belong to the royal family."said Darcel without controlling the annoyance in her tone.

"I did say that I can pass this test but, I came to guard you to make sure that you don't get trapped here forever." Said he, his mouth widening into a wide smile hiding the crookedness in his eyes.

Darce didn't say anything as she knew that there was still more to come, She had accompanied him for some amount of time now and now can at least guarantee that this person, who was standing in front of her, enjoys to mock and test people and one wrong word can give her away.

"Now, as a good employer it is afterall my responsibility to ensure that all my staff are in good condition and also ensure that they are safe." Said He without changing that smiley look.

Darcel knew that the reason that he told could not be further from the truth and she knew that he came to found something about her and keep an eye on her.

"But didn't you say that it was the second test that I have to take in order to become your worthy assistant? ."Darcel questioned in a manner that felt like interrogation to detect a lie.

"I think you really forgot that, I am your boss and how you should address me."said Livion, taking his usual expressionless face.

Darcel bowed in an apologetic manner and turned her back on him to find out more about the scenery and this battle laden land.

Description •••

"Sheinable city, the land of desert located on the east side of Planet liva, controlled by the side quarters of the palace, but still a land full of theft and bandits and all types of crimes.

This city was once very prosperous and green but due to a curse that came from the outer planet it turned into a battleground for the small tribes residing here and now has been turned into a desert with all types of black markets and underground activities."

"But of all the places why did I land here and what type of mission do I have to complete."thought Darcel, looking all over the place .

"Well, I dare say you have detected where we are but have you noticed your body."said Livion, pointing out his finger to locate the direction of her.

"My body, what do you mean by that?" Darcel said, looking back at her body.

Then came a sudden flash of amazement to her when she noticed that she was in the body of a different woman whose features resembled the desert girl.

"What is this?" Darcel shouted and her voice too came out different.

"So, as a kind boss let me tell you,Now you are transported to a different city and your soul resides into a different body now and you have to complete a mission in order to go back."Livion described in a brief, harsh tone.

"Then what about our bodies?'" Darcel started in a calm voice.

If it were any ordinary person they would not find out the hidden anxiety that was stressed in that tone.
