Chereads / XENRA / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Joy didn't open her eyes until she found herself floating in the air but not just the air but in the freaking galaxy, she could see her planet become smaller and smaller with every passing that was now far away from her violet eyes. She notices she was engulfed by the stone that somehow got stuck to her chest luckily it was not that big but just enough to be engraved into her skin It's been helping her breathe.

"W-where? H-how? What the hell is happening to me?" she curses out, her hair floating above her making her look like she added a large can of hair spray for her hair not to come down. She chuckled nervously as she felt a sudden pull towards the sun but heard a voice, "Don't."

She turned herself around trying to find the source but there was none but herself. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard that voice, it sounded hot if she were, to be honest. She was initially unsure of who she was speaking to but then again anything could happen with just talking to yourself, "Who's there?"

"I'm not currently visible in front of you but I am visible. I need you to close your eyes to see me." Joy found it strange to realize that the male voice was coming from the jewel. His voice was husky and velvet, she couldn't imagine how this thing managed to talk unless he was cursed.

"I um..." she trails off and continues, "Should I close my eyes to see you now? Or do I just-"

"Just do it you stupid girl!" the Hexagon demanded as she did as she was told and closed her eyes and soon found herself in a computer room there was a man no older than in his late 20s. He had long silver hair with a braid hanging behind his tanned neck which consisted of markings that seemed sorcery mixed with witchcraft but there was no rune she recognized. He wore futuristic lenses that hid his golden eyes they reminded her of a lion or a tiger that can read right through you but Joy also saw something that caught her attention. He was dressed in a dark long-sleeve camisole that reminded her of the 1600s, making his muscles stand out even from the dark material of his clothes, as well as a long royal blue cape that reached only to his thighs, he also had a silver-colored sash belt that carried a space blaster like in Star wars. She couldn't imagine how someone like him could be devilishly handsome, yet rude. "And who do you think you are for calling me stupid, asshole!?" Joy yelled back at the guy in front of her. She opened her eyes again, from they're meeting through her mind, and was now transported to another place in the galaxy but it was not just another side of space but another planet. It looked the same as Earth but more secluded and dark.

"Where are we? And will I be able to meet your stubborn arse? I mean..." she mumbled in awe as she felt herself gliding towards the planet until a giant spaceship appeared before her floating form. It was twice the size of the Death Star, moreover, it kept her distracted as the hexagon on her chest says,

"We are in the main capital of the whole galaxy called Xenra. This is the start of a new journey and I hope you will do exactly as I say until we meet in person." His impatience is noticeable, through our main protagonist's point of view as she glances down at the gem stuck to her chest and soon stares at the ship that passed her and asks, "Is that a real spaceship? Like in the movies?"

"I'm not sure what you are saying but, if that is close to what I can describe then, yes it is,"Β he coughs a few times until, he says,Β "Besides I can't believe I chose a nerd instead of a beauty."

Joy felt insulted, but at the same time smiled giving him as well as giving him a nasty glare making him coil back. She smirked at his reaction by saying, "You do realize you just called me smart, right?"

Then she heard the hexagon muttering incoherent words that should not be mentioned but thankfully in another language. With no fret in the world, Joy chuckled in silence as she made herself glide towards the crowd until she was taken to a place that look like the checkpoint where everyone around her started to whisper some nasty sh*t everyone calls gossip or rumors as one may call them. Joy was used to that but felt a slight tingle of fire burning her chest where the hexagon lay.

"Ignore those rats you call species, there is nothing more than annoying pests waiting for the very best thing to get their hands on."

Joy nods as she notices the weird-looking alien has one eye like a cyclops with a no-mouth, octopus arms, and dark scaly skin along a white-looking uniform that reads 'D.X.' Joy wonders in curiosity what he is but, her curiosity almost causes her to be distracted, soon feeling the burning sensation she felt by the unnerving jewel.

"Ow! What was that for, Hex?" said she as she rubbed her chest and checked to see if it was burning her first layer of clothing only to find it normal as if it wasn't burning a few seconds ago.

"Don't get too distracted because you don't have an ID here. Since you are human I have created an anterior one for us to get through," said Hex as he rolled his imaginary eyes. Then he realizes what she just called him, "What did you just call me?"

"Hex. I don't know your name, but for now, you're in the shape of a hexagon jewel and lets me breathe here, and besides...it suits you. " Joy stated in a matter-of-fact way staring down at the jewel stuck to her chest. What she didn't know was his reaction to this.

"Plus I couldn't just call you Jewel or something incoherently rude since you sound old by that voice of yours."

The jewel also known as 'Hex' groaned annoyed at this mutual agreement but he hated to admit it, he kinda did like the name instead of his actual one. Once we got close to the guard it said something, in a weird dialect,

"πŒŒπŒ€'πŒ€πŒŒ πŒ„πŒπŒ•πŒ„πŒ“ πŒ™κŠπŒ΅πŒ“ πŒ‰πŒƒ πŒ‚π‹…πŒ‰πŒ π‹…πŒ„πŒ“πŒ„, πŒπŒ‹πŒ„πŒ€πŒ”πŒ„."
