Her death
1520 Words
Ethan sat in his office still in a daze.
"Her blood is on your hands! You killed Charlotte!" The words kept repeating in his head. His guilty conscience couldn't let him rest.
"No, I didn't!" He kept repeating the same words again and again.
He then remembered that day.
~~~~~
He gathered his army and addressed it.
"Today, is the day to demolish the cleansed hearts faction. It will be a sudden ambush!"
"No mercy! They are traitors!"
"Yes, sir!" He then instructed five of his men.
"Kill everyone except Johnson and his wife Charlotte! Johnson will die by my hands!" He had always been jelousy of Johnson as he was very outstanding among his peers. Rubbing salt on his wounds, he also took Charlotte accumulating his deep hatred!
"Also, bring Charlotte without a single scratch or else it will cost your lives!"
"Yes, sir!"

A few hours later, his five men came back.
"Where is Charlotte?" He asked in anticipation.
"We are sorry, sir. She escaped but...." The leader started.
"What?! But what?"
"She...she...was injured!" The leader blurted out trembling falling onto his knees with his comrades.
"What did you say?" Ethan was going insane! He immediately slit the leader's throat.
"Please, spare us!" The others trembled. He didn't have time for these incompetent fools! He just boarded a space ship and flew to the cleansed hearts faction.
The whole faction was in ruins, smoke everywhere, buildings collapsed and bodies of both his men and the cleansed hearts slaughtered in cold blood!
He didn't care about all that and searched for Charlotte until he heard loud sobs.
He ran to the source of the noise until he found a familiar figure lying on the ground in a pool of blood. It was Charlotte!
Besides her was another familiar figure sobbing while holding her. It was her brother Charlie. The other red young man in the photo.
"Charlotte! Please don't die!" He sobbed continuously!
That's when Ethan's world shattered! His Charlotte was dead! It was Johnson's fault! If he hadn't married Charlotte, she wouldn't have died! He blamed it all on Johnson forgetting his men had killed her!
If he hadn't proposed the demolition of the cleansed hearts, she wouldn't have died!
His men at the end had captured Johnson, due to her death, he didn't kill Johnson right away! He had to t*****e him for the rest of his life! He also killed the men associated with her death.
~~~~~
He was snapped out of his thoughts by a loud bang.
*Bang* One of his men came in.
"What the....." Before he could finish, he was cut off.
"Sir, the Prophecy stone lit up!" He reported.
"What?!" He slammed his fist onto the table.
"Impossible!" He shouted and ran to the Prophecy hall. It was well decorated, with beautiful flowers and portraits in every corner.
And in the middle of the room, was the Prophecy stone dazzling blue like never before!
'How is this possible?' Ethan thought.
'Has the Prophecy child used his 'Tur'?' he thought. The only time it lit up was 16 yrs ago! The day those children were born!
'They are probably in the military at this time. But who are they?'

Arthur carried Myla out of the cubicle building running like a lightning bolt that no one could see!
All they could feel was wind and nothing else like no one had passed.
Upon entering the infirmary, he laid her on the bed and called the doctor.
He sat down impatiently tapping his fingers on his thigh as the doctor checked her. He then stood up, moving back and forth in worry.
"Yes, she's fine! She can't be dead!" He consoled himself.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked after the doctor was done.
"Her energy is drained. But she's fine."
"Then, why couldn't I find her pulse nor her breathe?" He snapped angrily. Seeing her pale face then the doctor's calm face, he lost his patience!
"It's because of......." She explained making him calm down a little bit but nevertheless, he was worried.
"She needs a complete rest and will probably wake up tomorrow." She said and left.
He then sat down by her bedside and unconsciously touched her flawless pale cheek.
'Please be alright.' he silently prayed. She had gave him a heart attack when she fell. He always wanted to protect those close to him and felt he was obliged to it.
He retracted his hand after coming to a realization. He had been rude to the innocent doctor. He then moved to her office and knocked.
"Come in, please." He heard her voice.
Seeing him, she abruptly stood up.
"What's wrong with her?" She asked. She thought he came for an emergency.
"Um... nothing is wrong." He assured making her seat.
"Am here to apologise for my rude behavior." He started.
"Ah.. it's understandable. You were worried about your girlfriend." She smiled.
"What? No.. it's nothing like that!" He stuttered blushing.
"Am always updated. I mean always on the forum. Anyway am Erica." She held out her hand.
"Am Arthur, Doctor Erica." He shook her hand.
"No need for formalities. Am just a few years older than you. Call me Erica." She smiled.
"Ok, Erica."
*****
Myla woke up the next morning to Erica's smiling face.
"How do you feel?" She asked.
"Cool. How did I end up here?" Myla curiously asked.
"Your boyfriend brought you here after you fainted."
"My...what?" Myla stuttered. That's when Arthur entered the infirmary.
"Oh, speak of the devil!" She giggled.
"Lala, how do you feel?" Arthur was overjoyed seeing her awake.
"Fine."
"I will give you some space." Erica said like a little girl and left.
"Why did you put your life in danger?" Arthur asked angrily.
"Ah, about that... sorry." Myla looked down.
"Don't do that again! Ok?"
"Ok, daddy!" Myla said jokingly and saluted taking him by suprise.
"Good girl!" He ruffled her hair.
"By the way, I managed to shape it!" She beamed.
"Really? You're a genius!"
"I will show you later!"
"No! You have to rest today! Your life was in danger!" He argued.
"Don't worry! I can manage. Please?" She pleaded.
"You know my body is strong and can heal itself." She whispered making him compromise.

After going through the screams of horror, pain and misery as it was their daily test, they sat in lotus positions and trained their 'Tur'.
Arthur started by gathering his into a small orb which was easiest.
'The next step is separating the two types of tur. The healing is light green and the calamitous is purple.'
Both of them started working on it but the calamitous seemed like it was raging. Continuously moving up and down, To and fro.
'The calamitous is it's own energy. Start by controlling it.'
After an hour of sweating, both of them had calmed down the calamitous. It was no longer moving and in one place.
Then both effortlessly separated them.
'The next step is being able to produce 'tur'. Feel it in your Crux and imagine it on your finger tips, control it, make it obey you. Be able to control it freely.'
Both of them imagined 'Tur' flowing through their veins and appearing of their finger tips.
"Wow, this is awesome!" Myla excitedly exclaimed.
She then shot it to the other side of the room effortlessly, then called it back.
Arthur instead imagined it forming a short dagger and back to a ball which he managed.
They could now control 'Tur' to do their abiding.
'The next step is accumulating 'Tur'. Your amount is very low.'
'Tur can be found in chemical energy in beasts, humans and plants - for calamitous type.'
'Strong humans and beasts have large amounts of energy than weaker ones. You can drain their energy by touching them, control the energy in their bodies to your abiding for a second. You will feel a rush of energy in your body and stronger than ever if drained.'
'Air, water and the sun- for healing type.'
'Accumulate your 'Tur'!'

In the depths of the earth, two Elegons spotted the human settlement and reported it to their superiors.
Five Elegons were seated around a transparent table.
"Why are we here?" One of them asked angrily. His fist was clenched and had a blood l**t.
"Relax, someone has a report for us!" Another said. Then suddenly, the two Elegons barged in and knelt.
"Sir! We have something to report!" One of them said.
"Let it be important or else your heads will serve as my dinner!" Hanu snapped.
"S..ir, we've discovered a human settlement!" They exclaimed.
"What? That's ridiculous!" One of them stood up.
"Are you sure?" Another was patient.
"Yes! We are positive!"
"Ha! I didn't expect that some survived!"
"Yeee! Let's go kill those assholes!" Hanu stood up as he linked his lips.
"No, Hanu! Let's first plan for this. Then we will eliminate them once and for all!" Another claimed making him groan in dissatisfaction.
The human race was in danger once again! Will they survive?
