In a city Full of beautiful light for all to see and darkness in the hidden courts ,Tera and his sister Kira could be seen running under the illumination of the street lights,it was a beautiful evening the wind was blowing softly the sky was deep blue , with very little clouds in the sky their planet blue earth was one of the most beautiful and peaceful planets, it was named blue earth because of its resemblance to ancient earth the difference was in the abundance of a blue crystal stones, whole mountains of it all over the planet, they shined beautifully all day long ,there were seven of this mountains on this planet at the center of each continent,it was a beautiful sight to behold,
it was tera's first time in a city that he could remember , they lived in the manor of the Acrelius family and grew up with the Scions of this family, all their life had been spent on the peak of the blue mountain the seven powerful families that ruled this planet each owned a mountain of their own where they built their estate on and in the blue mountains so that their families can live on g qthe blue mountains this wasn't done because the stone was beautiful and any structure built with it was beautiful beyond belief, the blue crystal stones Passively protected them from radiation in this newly terraformed planet,the planet wasn't up to a 1000 years old since it was terraformed ensuring that the legacy families lived a long and healthy life,the crystal did much more but ordinary people were not qualified to know why the elites loved it so much that they refused to live in the beautiful cities and enjoy the beauties and wonders of life.
Tera ran across a shop with a beautiful dress of blue embroidery, with light lace that flowed all the way to the ankle ,with little diamonds at different spots , he couldn't take his eyes off it he had just turned 7 years , "this cloth will look beautiful on mum "he said to his sister ,who said " what of me , won't it look beautiful on me "she was 6 years old one year younger than tera. Tera started laughing and said" your too small it will never fit you" causing Kira to pout and face away,she still had her baby chicks and cute eyes with her hair tied up in two ponytails, tera laughed and went closer and tickled her causing her to break her act as she cried out while laughing "tera stop". Don't worry very soon you will grow up and I will grow up too and buy you any gown and anything you want, tera said. Kira thought about it and she liked the idea she said "you promise" while hugging and using her big cute eyes to wear him down tera answered "pinky promise I cross my heart and hope to die " this was a way of making promise their dad had taught them the last time they seen them, 5 years ago .
5 years Ago
"Alicia""I love you" kitera shouted out from the balcony of his apartment,he was a young engineer who just graduated from the Blue Earth Tech university, he was a scholarship student who grew up in the slums tinkering with and repairing and refurbishing broken down home appliances and on a good day spell tech devices and selling them for money he struggled through academy as any child from the slums who wanted to get an education would , he wasn't the best student either as he was always sleep deprived and tired , but he managed through ,his life only got better in uni where he got a district scholarship as he was the only one from his district who made it to university,even though his grades wasn't all that good.
He didn't have anyone to celebrate it with so he decided to go and celebrate by the lake with a small cupcake with one candle ,that was where he met Alicia she was celebrating with her family her mom and dad they were bakers they ran a small bakery in a neighboring district Alicia was an A student with the most outstanding grades throughout her school days she graduated with all As and was granted scholarship on merit. He was walking by when the family saw him walking all alone and invited him over. If Alicia's dad knew he will end up stealing Alicias heart I am not sure he would have invited him over, but life always have its way.
He walked over and greeted them "hello sir , hello miss" and then turned to greet Alicia but his mouth failed him and he could only keep staring, Alicia had to step forward and say hello before he got back to his senses. Alicia asked are you alright in her fluent accent, to which he replied in his own broken English as his brain had failed him, not so sure. Alicia mistook it for a serious illness and came closer to check his temperature which had gone up since he saw her ,she turned to her parents and said he isn't well we should do something. "whats your name she asked". "kitera" he answered " I am a student of blue crystal tech university",that was his greatest achievement and only introduction he could give that wouldn't cause him to be looked down upon, when Alicias mom heard this she turned to her husband and said "Dan he is a student like our baby we should take him home and treat him he looks tired, she then went closer and whispered he looks poor too he might be one of those guinesses, won't that be wonderful he can look after my baby and who knows what else, causing Dan's face to tighten he wasn't in support of this idea but he didn't think anything could really go wrong, Marcie Alicia's mum called kitera come over and sit down. Here , she pointed the chair beside hers ,he wanted to walk over but couldn't Alicia's hands were still on his shoulder and neck he didn't notice it either,he didn't know what to do he turned to her and tried to whisper in her ear that she was still holding him , he got to close causing Alicia to tense up but when she heard what he said she couldn't believe it ,she blushed immediately and removed her hand and said sorry in a squeaky ,while walking clumsily to her seat, tera wanted to explain thay there was really no problem and he wasn't trying to get you flustered, but he ended up blotting out "don't worry your hands are soft so it was quite nice", causing her to blush even more and Marcie to burst out laughing but Dan didn't think he was funny and told him to get lost which he briskly did not before he heard marcie shouting take care of yourself kitera and my baby too if you ever meet. This caused alicia to be flustered and shout mum while blushing,then marcie turned to Dan and started screaming and accusing him of overreacting he didn't hear the rest because he was already far gone,all this events and more led to the present one where he was standing at his apartment balcony waving and saying his goodbyes to his wife Alicia and his two children who tera and Kira who were going with his wife to her new appointment as a researcher for the Acrelius family at their private research facility as much as he would love to be with his family he wanted them to enjoy the best of the best which he couldn't give right now and could only be gotten at the big families. The luxury ground shuttle they were in zoomed off. He could barely see his wife and his son waving. His daughter was just 1 year old and she didn't know what was happening.
It's been 5 years since they left the city and the family was about to be reunited again, Alicia was on leave and the children were on holiday,they were on a perfect surprise visit. Life couldn't get any more perfect .
