571 Words
Keila was looking at herself in the mirror. She was pouring sweat and was determined to get back into peak fitness, something she slightly had missed out on for the last year being the spoiled queen of Eden. The Edenites food was delicious, and since she had arrived here, she had for the first time in her life enjoyed eating and drinking, with all the godly pleasures provided to her as offerings. This had started showing on her body, and Keila needed a super fit body to promote her ideal image, as Martian fighter. Keila was not an armchair general that sent people to do things she didn’t dare to deal with herself. Keila had personally led the mission to apprehend/eliminate Alicia White. The mission had ended in a bloodbath, but Keila survived it, and now she had one trump on hand. Having the bodies of Alicia and her operatives, Keila could use the Zetan outer layer external DNA modifier to pretend to be Alicia White, as this technology allows the user to change appearances, which could have great advantages if she were to infiltrate House White as Alicia herself.
Keila looked at her eyes in the mirror. She used to have a pair of lively innocent green eyes as a child, and eyes glowing with determination and positive energy as she got older. Suddenly, her eyes had changed colour. Her current eyes were shining in a strange bright luminescent purple colour and had a peculiar shape like those of predatory animal.
Suddenly she felt a severe migraine, got dizzy and fell forward, knocked her head on the mirror. The mirror broke, shattered into pieces and she started bleeding profusely as she tasted the blood running down her cheeks. She suddenly had a vision and felt immediate clarity on how to go ahead to reach her goal. She saw images of the Terran Council falling apart to fighting among themselves, and of how the Martians were attacking and destroying the Terran Council’s base on Phobos, which had been the base for the oppressors for the last centuries. She heard a voice speak in her head. At first, she was terrified. It wasn’t the usual voice; instead, it was the voice who had told her to kill Jeshua, a year ago. But then she listened in to the voice and what it said made sense. It had said, she shouldn’t take on the Terran Council directly as an external threat would unite them, and if this were the case, they would become stronger than she ever could hope to be. Instead, she should aim to infiltrate and secretly divide them, and cause them to fight among themselves. If she could turn House Cheng against House Muller and House Rashid against House White, the entire Terran Council organisation would come down, and her Martian brethren could finally have their freedom from oppression.
Seeing this vision, she forgot that she was bleeding from the broken mirror shards, and instead she was smiling with her face soaked in blood. Metatron came in to examine the noise from the incident. Keila’s eyes turned back to her usual beautiful shade of green. Keila told him that she was okay, but he insisted and brought her straight to the medical ward. Thanks to stem cell technology her wound healed nicely without a scar in just a few days.
