Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Heavens Choose The Next Successor

Monica: Why are the stars circling in that place? Curious, Very Curious!😶🤔

There that girl is again! She seems to be waiting for someone. So why are the stars circling her? Let me go ask her myself....

Monica: Hello, my name is....😶

Aria: I know who you are! And yes the stars are not supposed to be surrounding me anymore.😔

Monica: You can read minds? Wait what do mean anymore?🤔😐

Aria: Finally the main question. The stars surround and protect the Chosen One.👼

Monica: ???😶😶

Aria: Do you not remember the part of the story you were reading that mentioned the Heavens choosing a successor, and the stars protecting the successor at all costs from harm?😡

Monica: Yeah, I think I remember now.🤔😅

Aria: You think?😡

Monica: What are you so annoyed about?🙃

Aria: Well, where do I start from? Do you remember that relay race that you attended and you ran so fast that you couldn't control your legs? That was not as a result of your brain having problems, it was a gift.

Monica: 😦How do you know about that?😡

Aria: Monica, we have been sharing the same mind since you were born. Don't you recall that imaginary girl whom you decorated with stars and wanted to "Protect The Heavens?" ?😞

Monica: That is not possible, you have been there since that book was created. It can't be me who created you when I was only a little girl.😌😌 So what are you trying to say? That I lived since the beginning of time and I made you before, I don't know, reincarnating into who I am today? Oh, please!😅

Aria: So you do remember! 😃 This is wonderful, I thought I'd start explaining it from the beginning again. What a relief.....**Thud**

Monica: I was alive even before now? I reincarnated into...**Thud**

Aria: And there she goes, fainting right when we were about to get into the juicy stuff.😰

Monica: Ugh, where am I? I feel like I fell on my head...🤕

Aria: Oh Thank goodness you're alive. Because if you had died here, you would have died in real life.😁

Monica: 😑😑😑

Aria: Well before you took a nap, we were about to get into the main reason I have been sending you "strange" dreams for the past three weeks. You are the Chosen One for the Heavens to bestow their energy upon for the next hundred years and protect the Galaxy of galaxies.

Monica: 😶😶😶 **Thinking** What in the world is she saying and how the hell do I get out of here?🙄😬😩

Aria: And you are seriously not paying attention again.😡 You do know that I can read your mind right? Are you looking for a way out of here? You are not even thinking of how to use and maximize that power I was talking about earlier.😒

Monica: Oh yes, the power...😓😅 Yes how do I use and maximize it?

Aria: Why can't you just give me five minutes to explain myself? Then if you still want to go, I'll personally take you back to your physical realm...😔😔😩

Monica: Will this take long in the physical realm?

Aria: No, not at all. In fact, about a day here is only an hour in your world. 🤗

Monica: OK, then I'm listening....

Aria: OK, first your body is housing the soul of the great daughter of the Heavens. This story happened so long ago that only angels can tell its exact details, while men just gave summaries of what they could remember.

.....

Monica: Wow! So much potential in me that I could not have ever imagined. Even if I read all the fantasy books in the world, I would not have believed that I would have even one superpower or special ability. 😄🙃 Luckily for me, I just need to sneak up to the roof of the house, face the sun as it is rising,,, and make the PHOENIX POSE! Afterward, my powers should be more visible throughout the whole day.

Oh, Ho, Ho, I'm so excited to try it out!😍 I better go with my sunglasses if I'll stay till the afternoon or thereabout. But still, I wonder what will happen if rain falls before in get to see the sun rise?🤔🤔

Hmmph, I guess we'll find out soon enough.😎

Haaa... The feeling of warmth of the rising sun.😃 Okay, now for the Phoenix pose; how did she say I should stand again?🤔 Oh! Arms stretched sideways like wings, cross my feet, and faced the Sun... And! Say that I am the Phoenixine. OK, here goes nothing "I am The Phoenixine." Eyes closed, fingers crossed.

**Swoosh** Oh my God, there's this golden flamey stuff surrounding me. It's going in and out of my body, like an aura I never knew I had. Even though it's hot a bit, it feels amazing to see this kind of thing happen to me.

I'm feeling strange all of a sudden... **dizzy**😵 I better head back to my room, I don't feel so good right now... 💫Slowly, down the stairs, to the library, then straight ahead. I feel like I'm gonna be sick 🤢, thank goodness that the library is not far from my room. I better use the bookshelves as something to rely on so I won't fall. Finally, my room door! I have to live down for a bit.

Ahhh! My head is on fire! It's aching like my brain is being grilled and being hit at the same time!🤕😭 💥🔥 This should be a Migraine! I'm losing my mind! Somebody make it stop! Mum! Dad! Help! Ahhh!

**footsteps running**

Mrs. Anabelle: Oh my baby! What's the matter?😥

Monica: Mum, my head! My brain is pounding! Ahhh!😭

**footsteps running, the door opens...**

Mr. Aiden: Honey what's going on? Monica, what's happening dear?

Mrs. Anabelle: Go get the car! We need to go to the hospital!!!😩😫

Mr. Aiden: OK, dearie!

**footsteps running, the door opens...door closes**

.....

Doctor Drake: She had a minor migraine due to her brain malfunctioning in storing certain information in her long-term memory. Her Hippocampus is fine, her medulla oblongata is also in great shape. She reads a lot so her brain needed a brief timeout. She should be fine as long as she rests and sleeps early.

Mrs. Anabelle: Doctor, are you sure she is alright?

Doctor Drake: Yes, we just need to run some tests on her blood, eyes, and brain.

Mr. Aiden: Okay doctor. We will be awaiting your response.

Doctor Drake: OK Sir, I will update you on further information.

Mr. Aiden: Thank you, Sir.

Mrs. Anabelle: Thank you,, Sir! Oh my sweet darling, please wake up. I promise, if you survive this I will personally take you to any school of your choice.

Monica: "OK mum, you're the best." (She Whispered)

Oxygen tube disconnects (**tsk**), Monica gasps for breath before passing out.

It's black and blank again ... i wonder if it's Aria's doing. Woah! said Monica when she suddenly saw a blank and black expanse of space turn into a place filled with so much light that she felt she was going to be blinded by the light. Then, Icarus appears in the midst of all that and said....

Icarus: A celestial being imprisoned in a cosmic rift, sharing wisdom from beyond through dreams to enlighten them on their journey towards the path of the prophecy.

Then, Icarus appears in the midst of all that and said :

"Monica Aiden Christen, you have been chosen to be the guardian of the stars, galaxies, planets and dimensions. You shall be granted the powers you have long forgotten in the greatest form possible. Then, when the appointed time shall come, you and the Guardian of the Shadows shall join forces to create the child long foretold in the prophecies of the Vampix. Monica, the powers of divinity has been bestowed on you as you shall need it in the journey which you have already begun. All that you need to do will come to you eventually, but you have to make the Guardian of the Shadows your friend and not a foe. In order to avoid the pending doom taking his powers and using it to increase his Dominion. Remember, the fate and Balance of the whole universe rests on the shoulders of the strong, brave, and powerful young girl I am looking at. The Heavens and I believe in your untapped abilities, Monica."

I am so confused although I feel like the responsibility of the whole universe has just been laid on my shoulders. If what he is saying is even half-true, then I cannot let the Heavens down. I also wonder, so this was what Aria was talking about.😮 But I wonder what he means by the Guardian of the Shadows🤔...

Monica was puzzled about who this "Guardian of the Shadows" was. But she knew that a lot had just happened, and she had to take responsibility for all of it. Even though she did not know where, or how to start, she had to do something in order to maintain the balance of the universe. And make sure that she makes the "Guardian of the Shadows" her friend and not her foe.

I bet we all want to know who this "Guardian of the Shadows" is or where he/she came from...😯😶😶😶

It's in the next Chapter.🙃

See you there...
