Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7: A RESPLENDENT AND OPULENT SPACECRAFT

After three sunrises had graced their arrival on this foreign land, Mellisah found herself nestled beside an endless expanse of ocean. Her precious offspring and her sister Mellisando slumbered peacefully beneath the sheltering embrace of a majestic palm tree. But as the minutes danced by, a stirring in the air awakened Bridget from her dream-filled slumber. With a sense of urgency, she called out to her mother, her voice carrying the weight of worry, "Mother, oh mother! Where art thou?" Her eyes darted frantically, searching every nook and cranny for the familiar face of her beloved guardian. And there, amidst the rhythmic lullaby of crashing waves, her mother's gentle voice reached her ears, "Fear not, my darling, for I am here." With a heart full of relief, Bridget hastened towards her mother, nestling herself beside her in the sand. Curiosity danced in her eyes as she inquired about the distant kin her mother had spoken of, those ethereal beings from their former home on Uranus. Mellisah, ever the patient guide, began to unravel the mysteries of this vast planet they now called home. She explained that Earth, a colossal sphere, held within its bosom countless lands and realms, each unique and distinct. The very continent upon which they had landed, she revealed, was but a mere fragment of this grand tapestry. And alas, it was not the dwelling place of their longed-for relatives.As she continued to explain to her daughter, a colossal cloud of dust billowed in the distance, followed by a thunderous crash that echoed through the air - the unmistakable sound of a celestial vessel colliding with the Earth's surface. Reacting swiftly, she hurried to where her son and sister lay peacefully asleep, rousing them from their slumber. Leaning in close, she whispered urgently into her sister's ear, "Awaken, dear sister, for we have unexpected visitors. Let us venture forth and uncover their identity." With a sense of urgency, they rose and darted towards a nearby palm tree, seeking refuge in its protective embrace.

Not far from their concealed location, near the tranquil expanse of the ocean, a resplendent and opulent spacecraft, known as a space ball ango, descended gracefully from the heavens. Emerging from its gleaming exterior was a striking and virile young man, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings as if in search of the most enchanting queen, his eyes radiating with a brilliance akin to a diamond adorning the highest celestial realm. "My goodness, Mellisah, why did you not inform me of the presence of such dashing and irresistible gentlemen on this planet? I would have adorned myself with utmost splendor before departing Uranus and arriving here on Earth," Mellisando whispered mischievously to her sister. In response, Mellisah retorted with disbelief, "What on Earth, Mellisando? Have you lost your senses? When would you have found the time for such frivolous endeavors? Perhaps you can say such things because you were not engaged in the battle, am I right?"As their argument raged on, a bodyguard of the dashing young man approached their hiding place, his presence commanding and authoritative. With a voice that exuded business-like confidence, he greeted them, "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. I am Blondie John, hailing from the distant planet of Pluto. It is both a pleasure and an honor to make your acquaintance." The two sisters and their children trembled with fear upon hearing the name Pluto. Mellisah mustered the courage to respond, saying, "Hello. It's nice to meet you too. My name is..." But before she could utter her name, memories of the fierce battle that had once taken place at Uranus between them and the king of Pluto flooded her mind. Lost in her recollections, she was interrupted by the charming man, who inquired, "Madam, are you alright? You haven't mentioned your name. Why?" Mellisah simply replied, "My name is Mellisah, and beside me stands my sister, Mellisando, and over there are my children, Bridget and Clint. We hail from the planet Uranus." The man warmly shook hands with each of them, and together they made their way towards the magnificent spaceship.

Upon reaching their designated spot, Mellisah was taken aback to see her children comfortably nestled in the arms of the handsome stranger. Approaching the man, she scolded his children, "B and C? How many times have I warned you not to let strangers touch you?" Her son, Clint, boldly retorted, "Mom, we are no longer infants. We are old enough to make our own choices. Besides, this man is not a stranger; he is a handsome, affectionate, and caring individual." His words carried an air of familiarity, as if he had known the man for a long time.With unwavering confidence, the child spoke as though he had been acquainted with the man for ages, testifying to his inherent goodness. "Absolutely spot on, madam. I am no stranger," the young man chimed in, adding his voice to the boy's proclamation.

He proceeded to introduce himself in great detail to Mellisah and Mellisando, extending an invitation for them to accompany him to his abode. Before he could utter another word, Mellisah interjected, explaining that they had just arrived and were in search of something of utmost importance. While Mellisando and the children were eager to go, Mellisah vehemently disagreed. Realizing they would not be swayed, the man requested that they disclose their location for his future visits or landings on Earth. Mellisah retorted, "Well, I believe you will find us right here!"

In a swift motion, the man attempted to retrieve something from his pocket, inadvertently dropping a document with a photograph of his deceased father nestled within. He stooped down to retrieve it, revealing to Mellisah that it was a picture of the ancient king of Pluto, who had valiantly fought and perished at the hands of Mellisah herself.

Clutching the photograph tightly, he vowed, "I will do whatever it takes to bring the person responsible for my father's demise to justice. And when I do, I will violently pierce their heart and squeeze their stomach, inflicting upon them the same anguish I feel now due to the loss of my father." Blondie John's words pierced Mellisah's heart, causing it to sink deeply into her diaphragm. Acting swiftly, she interjected, "Sir, I believe time is of the essence. You must make your way there before sunset."With a determined stride, Mr. John embarked on his journey, leaving behind a worried Mellisando who swiftly rushed towards her sister, her voice trembling with concern. "Oh, dear sister, peril has befallen us! What course of action shall we take?" Bridget, interrupting the hushed conversation between their mother and sister, turned to her brother Clint with a grave expression. "My dear brother Clint, I fear you have been privy to all that has transpired. We should have never allowed that man to lay his hands upon us. Now, he shall exploit the imprints of our existence - fingerprints, footprints, and even our very DNA - etched upon his garments and flesh, relentlessly tracking our every move. Alas, we find ourselves ensnared in the clutches of utter calamity!"
