Rising Beyond the Stars

The Chosen One?

The mansion had been upgraded. Guards and other workers had gotten places to live together with their families. Alpha was happy as his friend Wafula came to stay with them. They now had a big family.

Alpha asked Wafula if he knew anything about his father's house. Wafula in return answered what his father told him about the family. He told him that his father had just a big library with lots of books. He was a man who loved to read and research. He had written many journals about psychology and behavioural science. That was what made him famous.

Alpha asked him if he knew another thing about his father. Wafula answered a no. He looked forward to investigate his father. He had asked Wafula if his father had passed to the outside. He was not in the inside yet he had not passed through the exit. Alpha was determined to find out of this secret passage that his father used. He promised him that he will soon show him the passage the moment he finds out about it.

Alpha followed his father keenly using his drone. He saw something unusual. His father stood at a place in the hallway to his bedroom. A door opened from the wall. He then entered the hollow. Alpha knew that he had found the secret passage. He was to enter it at the time when his father was away.

His father went for a two day journey. Alpha got this to be the best time for him to accomplish his mission. Wafula was also not on day duty. He was to help him.

Alpha walked to the hallway. He reached the spot. He stood their but it did not open. He discovered that it was protected with a retina scan. It was fitted on to a small hole that no one could recognize. Alpha focused his eyes on the scanner. He produced some rays which bypassed the security systems of the scanner. The door opened. He then saw a staircase moving down. He followed it. All this time Wafula was waiting for him. He decided to follow him. The moment he entered the door closed again. It was just like a hall.

"This does not look like a secret passage. This must be a*****e for valuables," Wafula said to him.

"Which treasures are kept here? Check the lighting. It is not the normal lighting that we use at our home. I sensed this lights when I was sleeping. I never knew that they were located just in the house."

Alpha walked to where shelves were. He saw a book written with characters that were not found on the planet. It was an alien language. He took two of them.

Wafula tried to open them. None opened. The pages were intact. Alpha also tries it. they refused and remained intact. Wafula thought that Mr Singh had been practicing magic in the secret chambers. He thought that all of his success came from the magic that he does here.

Alpha wanted to hit one of the Lava lamps. Wafula stopped him. He knew that if they break even one. Being a mage, Mr Singh would find out about it wherever he was. They were to leave the place before anyone could discover of their absence.

"I must come for the golden egg. I think it is the one he uses for magic. Alpha will you help me?"

"Yes but let's leave. Remember tonight we must get to an astrologer or a mage. Or a spiritual leader. They must tell us of this."

Carrying this two books. They left the secret chambers.

Alpha could not keep the secret as they agreed. That evening as Lacey was in her bedroom resting, he went to show her the books. He told her that they will be going to see a mage. Wafula had already known that Alpha could not keep the secret so he had been following him. He slightly opened the door to check on what was happening inside.

Alpha showed his sister the book. His sister told him that she can read the book cover. On hearing that Wafula stormed in. He wished to know what the book really was.

"The book is known as "Drakéñés Réyés Practicalla". It translates to Action of the Dragon and Ray Clans. It is written by Drakén and Lord Ignis."

Then she opened the book. Alpha and Wafula were astonished with what she did. She had even told them that Alpha was carrying just the books of the same volume.

" Are you a wizard? We could not open or even read it."

Lacey thought they were playing games on her. She gave the books to them. The book pages remained glued together and refused to open. Then Lacey began to read the content of the books in English. It was like a poetic verse written in prose form.

" The Master of Dragons. Once trapped. He was guarded by thousands of soldiers. He was sent to exile in one of the planets. In a far away land. There he remembered his people. He remembered the animals of his lands. He remembered how he was to protect them. He said no to exile. He called for the dragons for help. Though he won the war. The dragons had destroyed everything in the land. He together with the dragons were cursed forever. They were to be a symbol of unity. And for their destruction the members of his clan were never to rule the Cluster of universes..."

They agreed to be read for each day. But this wisdom was short lived. Mr Singh found out that the book was missing. He then saw Lacey reading it for Alpha and Wafula.

Mr Singh walked to where they were. He could not believe his eyes seeing that Lacey was able to read the book. How could a woman be a leader of the Dragons clan? He wondered. He went where they were and snatched the book from them.

He began to find out the one who entered the secret chambers. The one who has the exact copy of his retina. Did he have a twin bro?

Then Wafula told them that there must be a secret that Mr Singh was hiding. It could be something beyond human imagination. He then left for his job.

Alpha had another mission that was to discover more things that his father had hidden in his secret library. As he was not attending school, this was a very easy task. He began his mission. A dangerous one indeed.
