Chapter 8 - A shocking discovery II

Look ,mom there's something I need to ask you. Bella said slightly frightened.

What do you want to ask me? Her mom said dropping her bag.

And who are those people behind you she said referring to Felix and Owen.

They are just friends. Anyway back to what I wanted to ask you, what do you know about the Luxford dynasty jewel.

Bella said out of curiosity.

The.... Luxford dynasty jewel.. who.... she questioned.

You... she said referring to her husband in anger.

You told her. she said out of anger

Haha he chuckled

Not just her, all of them.He said proudly

You know what, fine. We will talk about this later. She said trying to calm herself down.

The Luxford dynasty jewel is a jewel purely made of dynasty crystals. Which holds powers greater than your wildest imagination. She said calmly.

Wow, are you sure cause my imagination is pretty wild. Owen said

Owen shush, let her continue the story. Felix said.

I'm taking a lucky guess that he told you that I hid the jewel, but did he tell you why? she questioned .

No. they chorused while nodding their heads in disagreement.

Of course he didn't. The reason I hid the jewel was because there was this power obsessed freak who wanted the crystal to enslave all of man kind, and it was my duty to make sure that he did not get his hands on that crystal, at all cost. so as I was aging I realized that I couldn't run forever and it was about time for me to settle down. So I decided hiding the crystal was the smartest and safest way to protect it. And with luck he will never find it. At least I hope he doesn't.

That's cool and all but I still have some questions like how is saving the world your problem and how do you keep guessing what Dad told us and what he didn't. Bella said questioning her mom.

First he most likely told you I was an adventurer. she said as they nodded in agreement. And I bet he didn't tell you I am an information freak, did he ?. she said wisely answering all her questions.

Why do you fear that he might find it. Bella asked.

Well, you know I hid this a long time ago and where I hid it... well.. it is now a very popular theme park.

What!! we have to find the crystal. Bella shouted.

Yeah, we might even know more about my powers. Owen said

What. Bella you are too young to go on such a mission, people from my old HQ will take care of it. She said.

What? Mom we are old enough. Bella said.

You. blonde hair guy, your powers? right. oh so you're the one Bella gave powers, huh, if she gave you powers that means you have the powers of Astrum powers symbolizing both celestial and Star powers. The Strongest and the most dangerous, I heard that there can only be 3 owners of this ancient celestial race but the world has advanced so much I think it might be more than just three of these wielders.

So where did you hide it, so we can go find it. Bella said.

Noo, it's probably fine. Bella's mom said with a worried look on her face.

I know you care mom, just let us find it.

Bella pleaded.

No is no and that's the end of this discussion. Now, who's hungry. Bella's mom said changing the topic.

Would you look at the time well I best be off. it's getting late. Felix said

Yes me too. Owen said

I think I will escort them. Bella said

As they approached the gate they said their goodbyes.Then something shinny caught their eyes it was a shard. As they observed it. Felix boldly said  I have never seen a shard as beautiful as this.

Nether have I. In all the books I've read nothing looked like it must be a shard from the Luxford dynasty jewel. Owen said .

Agreed. And no one can know about it. Especially not my mom. Bella said as they both nodded in agreement.

So who gets to take it home. she continued.

Well I can't take it home, I already have so much to process. Owen said

I can't take it in.my mom would probably be watching me like a hawk. Bella said

I guess I'm taking it home then. Felix said.

See you tomorrow. Felix said.

Adiós mis amigos [goodbye my friends]. Owen said

Aurevoir [Goodbye]. Bella said

Okay since we are doing languages  Tschüss [goodbye]

They all smiled and went there separate ways

As Felix got home he rushed to his room and started inspecting the shard.

Meanwhile.....

Owen was still processing everything he went through today from his dream to missing class and finally story time. Wow what a day. Owen said as he drifted of to sleep.

Meanwhile Felix was studying and examining the shard

...his eyes scanning the ancient runes etched into its surface. The Shard, a mysterious artifact rumored to hold the secrets of the past, glowed softly on his desk. Felix's mind raced with wonder and curiosity as he poured over his notes and research, trying to decipher the secrets of the Shard. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes never leaving the artifact, as he contemplated his next move in unraveling its mysteries.

...his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden flicker of light from the Shard. Felix's heart raced as he leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the artifact. The flicker grew brighter, and he could feel a strange energy emanating from it. Suddenly, visions began to flash before his eyes - ancient civilizations, long-lost knowledge, and mysterious landscapes. Felix's mind reeled as he tried to process the revelations unfolding before him.

...he felt a sense of wonder still lingering from his visit to Bella's. The mysterious Shard, with its ancient runes and secrets, would have to wait until tomorrow. Felix yawned, feeling the weight of the day's adventures catching up with him. He decided to call it a night, putting the Shard aside for now. He headed to his bedroom, his mind still replaying the events of the day, and his thoughts drifting off to sleep. With a contented sigh, he fell into a restful sleep, the Shard's secrets waiting patiently for another day.

The next morning, Felix woke up feeling refreshed and eager to dive back into the mystery of the Shard. He headed to the kitchen to start his day with a cup of coffee and some breakfast. As he poured himself a bowl of cereal, he noticed a note on the counter from his mom. "Good luck with your research today, Felix! I'm off to a meeting at work. See you later!" He smiled, feeling grateful for her support. With an energized sigh, he headed back to his desk, ready to uncover more secrets of the Shard...

Then he suddenly realized he's almost late for school

   ...his feet pounding the sidewalk in a hurried rhythm. He couldn't believe he had almost forgotten about school! His mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of the Shard and Bella, and he had lost track of time. As he turned the corner onto Elm Street, he could see the school building up ahead. He quickened his pace, his backpack bouncing behind him. He was almost there... just a few more minutes. He burst through the front doors, out of breath, and sprinted down the hallway to his locker. He grabbed his books for his first class and slammed the locker shut, just as the bell rang, signaling the start of the day. Made it, he thought, relieved. Now, if only he could focus on his schoolwork instead of the mysterious shard

As Felix settled into his first class, he couldn't help but sneak glances at the Shard, which was hidden in his backpack. He wondered what secrets it held. He also thought about Owen and Bella his best friends, who had been curious about the Shard since Felix first showed it to him. Felix secretly passed a note to meet up with Owen and Bella at lunch and fill them in on the latest developments. Suddenly, his teacher's voice broke through his daydreams, asking him a question about the lesson. Felix's face flushed as he scrambled to come up with an answer, hoping Owen would bail him out if he needed it...
