The Accidental Journey: Battle of the Last woman Standing

The blue moon

It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, It was bright and clear, so full of meaning, It could speak, I am really not kidding I could hear it's voice, It was so soothing. I knew I belonged here. I knew somehow someway I was connected to this place. My coming here wasn't a mistake, I would do my best. I would work hard and create a name for myself. The power I had in my possession, I would use it for the good of humanity. I felt stronger by just staring at it. I had never felt that way before.

I stared around the room I was in, It was illuminated with a strange light, I had no idea what it's source could be considering the fact that there was no electricity here. I marvelled at the architecture. It was brilliant; The walls had a lot of painting. Some of Xander flexing his muscles. I laugh at them thinking of how silly could be sometimes, some were of warriors and swords and various kinds of weapons. It felt so ancient and modern at the same time. 

 I thought about Xander's plan to hide my identity in case I was seen by anyone in the facility as they constantly had routine checks, I am Xander's old friend from Tribe D who wants to be a member of the Gamza facility but has no place to stay in the territory until the inauguration; so I would be sharing a room with Xander. At first, Kimer said we should act like we didn't know each other but there was no place for me to stay before the inauguration so we had no choice both to go by Xander's plan and since I was disguised as a guy, I wouldn't be allowed to stay with Kimer therefore, I had no choice but to stay in Xander's room for the time being.

I was alone in the room. Kimer and Xander went to celebrate the blue moon with the other members of the facility; I didn't mind that, I actually needed time to reflect on my experiences that day. It all felt like a dream, just this morning, I was a normal, well not so normal high school student with no friends and social life, whose only family hated her so much they sent her out the house and now she has in a possession a powerful energy core of over a thousand years and she is in a completely different world with no technology, internet but with special abilities she only thought existed in novels and television. It was too much, she wondered if she slept and woke up everything going on would just be a dream and it scared her, she didn't want her old life; it was miserable and full of pain and emotions she was desperately trying to escape from. She didn't know the difficulties she would face here but she felt they wouldn't be as bad as what she was going through before. No one knew her here, she could be a totally different and improved person, not weak and clumsy., they wouldn't call her ugly or fat, she wouldn't let people push her around. She would learn to stand her ground and make herself proud. She was going to do all she could to get into the facility no matter what.

I could hear voices and music, the people must be very excited. I was too; I mean who knew the moon could be blue? 

Kimchi....me? That was something she struggled to accept. She didn't want that responsibility, she didn't really enjoy the admiration and faith Xander and Kimer had in her because she was afraid of disappointing them. She couldn't save herself from the emotional attacks she faced while growing up, who was she to be responsible for a very big and different world and if she was, why was she chosen? she was sure there were so many people who would do a better job, she even thought of Glea. As much as she disliked her for everything she has put her through; She couldn't help but envy her in some ways. Someone like Glea wouldn't have any problem with the situation she is in, well except for the fact that there was no internet but besides that she would be glad and she would probably do a good job.

But strangely, Bold and talented people like Glea were not chosen, why me? 

Why me?

I asked myself over and over again, what do I have that others don't? is it just because I have the stone? Do I have something more? I couldn't say. It just didn't make sense. 

I thought of what someone else would do in my shoes. I am very sure the first thing would be to find a way to get back home but that was the last thing I wanted. Besides the fact that I hated the thought of going back to the emotions I was desperately trying to get rid of, everyone was better off without her. They wouldn't even notice she was gone. She thought of her Aunt and Fred, they would probably order something to eat since neither of their cooking is fit for human consumption. As much as she hated the way she was treated, she missed her aunt. It was strange but she had always longed for her affection but never got any of that since Camille died. It hurt that she was blamed for her death. She loved Camille, she was the sweetest child in the whole world, she was so smart and cute always singing and dancing  around the house, she was a joy giver. However she got really sick. She spent most of her weekends in the hospital and did a lot of tests but all of them said she was fine, the doctors couldn't say the exact thing that was wrong with her, she died a year after in her sleep. It was so sad.

I wondered what was going to become of me, if I would be exposed, if I would truly become as powerful as Xander and Kimer believes I would become but regardless; I would give it my all.

She continued staring at the blue coloured moon enjoying the peace she felt as she did so.

The moon was beautiful everyone just had to agree. It was bright and mystical, they appreciated it for as long as they could, they wouldn't be able to see it until after a thousand years and they definitely wouldn't be around till then. They felt lucky to be able to witness it. The artists in the facility were seen painting images of the moon. So that they could always refer to it. There was a lot of dancing and singing of ancient music, everyone was happy and excited except Scarrio. He dreaded the sight knowing fully well that The Kimchi was around. All of his hard work would be in vain if the prophecy was true, then he might be exposed and might have to give up his position in the facility.

He wouldn't let that happen, he would protect his position at all cost. He had lost Gada in the process, he wasn't going to lose something more. He would find this Kimchi before he would find him and ensured he killed him first and then he would prove to Zoma that he was wrong and that he had the power to change his fate.
