Chapter 5 The pardolia

Chapter 5
The pardolians home base.
Years went by, and Baail was able to learn English in a short period of time, but it took him a while to truly understand the nuances of the language. Lily was fascinated by Baail’s improvement, and they were able to communicate without the need for sign language or any other form of communication. However, Baail’s English was still a bit funny, as he hadn’t fully developed his language skills yet.

As they were sitting in the living room of the house they shared, Lydia’s mother Catherine stepped in with Jack, the half-elf, and Massia to check on Baail’s progress in learning English. Jack greeted Baail with a friendly smile, “Hey Baail, how’s it hanging?” Baail hesitated for a moment before replying, “I’m doing great, there’s so much about the language that I still haven’t learned.”

Lily entered the room, carrying a plate of breakfast for Baail. He instantly grabbed the plate and started eating like a savage beast. Lily, feeling slightly embarrassed, spoke up, “Oh Baail, since you’ll be living on Earth with your younger siblings, there are some things you need to learn. For starters, we Earthlings don’t eat like savage beasts, unlike the elves.” Baail shot her an annoyed look, “I’m eating, do not interrupt me while I’m eating,” he said before continuing to devour his meal.

As they sat around the table, Catherine began to speak, “Baail, we are so impressed with how quickly you’ve learned English. It’s not an easy language to grasp, but you’re making great progress.”
Baail nodded gratefully, thankful for the support and encouragement from his new friends. “Thank you all for helping me learn your language so quickly,” he said with a smile.

Lily, feeling slighted for not receiving a thank you earlier, chimed in, “Yeah, but a simple ‘thank you for breakfast’ would have been nice.”

Baail, feeling a bit defensive, retorted, “Well excuse me for not having perfect table manners on your planet hot head!”

Lily, not one to back down, shot back, “Who are you calling hot-headed?”

The two of them began to argue like children, their voices rising with each insult. Baail, feeling offended at being called an alien, snapped, “I’m not an alien, I’m a perdolian! There’s a big difference!”

Just as things were about to escalate further, Professor Green and Catherine intervened, chuckling at the bickering pair. “Alright, that’s enough you two,” Professor Green said, “Let’s not get carried away with petty arguments.”

Baail and Lily, still shooting sharp glares at each other, begrudgingly settled down. The tension in the air dissipated, and they both let out a sigh. Maybe, just maybe, they could learn to get along after all. The fantasy world of different creatures and beings had brought them together, and perhaps it could teach them a thing or two about acceptance and understanding.

Lily sniffled as she wiped away her tears, feeling a mix of hurt and anger towards Baail. “He’s a rude little boy after what I did for him,” she murmured to herself, her voice quivering.

Unbeknownst to Lily, Baail was watching her from a hidden spot, his usually stoic demeanor showing a hint of concern. He couldn’t understand why seeing Lily cry affected him so deeply, stirring up unfamiliar emotions within him.

Just as Baail was grappling with his conflicting feelings, a sudden sound made him jump. It was Professor Green, the wise and kind-hearted mentor of the children in earth. His gentle voice cut through the tension in the air as he addressed Baail.

“What’s troubling you, my child? It seems like guilt is weighing heavy on your heart,” Professor Green said softly, his eyes full of understanding.

Baail hesitated, unsure of how to articulate his emotions. “I just don’t know how to deal with this guilt. I’ve never felt this way before,” he admitted, a touch of vulnerability seeping into his usually composed tone.

Professor Green gave Baail a reassuring smile. “It’s okay to feel this way, Baail. It shows that you have a conscience, a sense of right and wrong. The best thing to do now is to talk to Lily and apologize for any misunderstandings,” he advised, his wisdom shining through.

However, Baail’s pride got in the way. “Why should I apologize? She was the one who called me an alien,” he retorted defiantly, crossing his arms.

Professor Green chuckled softly, trying to ease the tension. “Well, technically speaking, you’re not entirely human with those unique tattoos on your arms. It’s only natural for Lily to be curious,” he explained, his words laced with a hint of awkwardness.

As Baail mulled over Professor Green’s words, a newfound sense of understanding dawned upon him. Maybe, just maybe, apologizing to Lily wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all. And with that thought in mind, he took a step towards reconciliation, ready to confront his feelings and mend the rift between him and Lily.
Meanwhile in Lily’s room, she was still upset. But then, an uninvited guest entered – a baby. It was none other than Baail’s younger brother, Abisai. He looked at her curiously with a smile as he crawled towards her, making baby sounds. Lily found it adorable and picked him up, cuddling him and making weird sounds to make him laugh.

Just then, Baail entered the room and informed Lily, “His name is Abisai, by the way.”

Startled, Lily turned to Baail and exclaimed, “Oh my God, you startled me! What are you doing here?”

Baail sighed and said, “I came to apologize for my immature behavior. I realized I owe you for teaching me your Earth tongue.”

Lily’s face lit up with a smile at his comment and she teasingly replied, “Wow, since when did you become a gentleman, Mr. Alien?”

Baail, slightly annoyed, clarified, “First of all, human girl, I am not an alien. I’m a Perdolium,” speaking with a sense of pride in his voice.

Lily got annoyed as well but the same comment “but just for you to know I also have a name it lily”

As Baail and Lily continued to argue, their voices growing louder and more heated, a sudden cry broke through the tension. Abisai, the baby in Lily’s arms, had awoken from his nap and was now wailing in distress.

Baail and Lily both froze in shock, staring down at their crying son. Catherine, Lily’s mother, who had been watching the argument unfold, rushed over to them. She gently took Abisai from Lily’s arms and began to rock him back and forth, shushing him softly.

“You two should be ashamed of yourselves,” Catherine scolded, giving them a stern look. “Arguing in front of the baby like this. You need to make up right now, or there will be consequences.”

Baail and Lily exchanged guilty looks, realizing the impact their discord was having on their innocent child. With a sigh, Baail reached out to Lily, offering an olive branch.

“I’m sorry, Lily. Let’s put this behind us and focus on our family,” Baail said softly, his voice filled with regret.

Lily nodded, tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry too, Baail. Let’s make things right for Abisai,” she replied, reaching out to accept his apology.

With a smile, Catherine handed Abisai back to Lily, who hugged him close. The tension in the room dissipated, replaced by a sense of unity and love. And as Baail and Lily embraced each other, they knew that their family was stronger than any argument that may come their way.

And so, in that moment, a spark of magic flickered in the air, binding the family together in a bond that could never be broken. For in the world of fantasy, even the darkest of conflicts can be overcome with love and forgiveness. And as Abisai’s cries turned into giggles of joy, the family knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what challenges they may face.
.
Deep within the mountains, hidden away from the prying eyes of the advanced City and the mysterious Mystic Forest, lies a secret base that was once a part of a giant aircraft that crash-landed on Earth. Within this base, two young warriors were engaged in a fierce training session, their wooden swords clashing against each other in a dance of skill and determination.

Kaisan: Sirius, Minda, focus! Your cosmic force is what sets you apart from regular warriors. Use it to your advantage.

Sirius: But Master Kaisan, Minda’s spear skills are unmatched. I can’t seem to get a hit in.

Austria: That’s because you’re relying too much on brute strength, Sirius. Use your cosmic force to enhance your speed and agility.

Minda: Haha, you’re no match for me, Sirius.

Sirius: We’ll see about that, Minda. I’ll show you the true power of the Scorpio sigil.

Kaisan: Keep going, don’t hold back. Remember, the mountain base is where you’ll face your toughest challenges.

Sirius: (gritting his teeth) I won’t let you down, Master Kaisan.

Minda: (smirking) Bring it on, Sirius. I’m ready for anything you throw at me.

As the two young warriors continued their intense training session, their mentors watched with pride. The sound of clashing wooden swords echoed through the mountain base, a testament to their determination and skill. The cosmic force flowed through them, guiding their movements and enhancing their abilities.

Kaisan: Look at them go, Austria. They’re getting stronger with each day that passes.

Austria: Indeed, Kaisan. Our students have come a long way since we first discovered them in the wreckage of that crashed aircraft. They are destined for greatness.

Sirius: (deflecting Minda’s attack) You may be skilled with that spear, Minda, but I have something you don’t. The power of the Scorpio sigil!

Minda: (smirking) You talk a big game, Sirius. Let’s see if you can back it up.

As the battle raged on, the mentors watched with anticipation. The complex dance of combat unfolded before their eyes, a symphony of skill and power. The fantasy world of the mountain base came alive with the echoes of the young warriors’ determination.

Kaisan: This is where they will truly discover their potential, Austria. The mountain base will test their abilities like never before.

Austria: I have faith in them, Kaisan. They have the strength and courage to overcome any obstacle that stands in their way. Let’s continue to guide them towards their destiny.

The young warriors continued their training session, pushing themselves to their limits as they honed their skills and mastered their cosmic force. The mountains were a sacred place for them to train, hidden from the rest of the world. However, something was bothering Kaisan. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong with Baail, Almra, Nove, and Abisasi, who had escaped from heaven and crashed landed somewhere. His wife, Austria, tried to reassure him that they were fine as long as they had the map beacon to find their way back.

Kaisan felt relieved by his wife’s words, but he couldn’t shake the worry for the others who were still out there in the galaxy, hiding and wondering if they were still alive.

Meanwhile, in space, on a planet similar to Earth but with a violet orb and light blue surface, lived the reptilians – an advanced race that lived peacefully like any other species, but without technology.

As the reptilians were going about their day, they noticed a group of people, the perdolians, crash landing in their village. Curious, they went to investigate and found mothers, fathers, and children seeking refuge. The reptilians allowed them to stay, unaware that they were being watched by the Dark Haven Empire.Embrya, a female humanoid, rushed to inform Emperor Tellez of the discovery, eager to please him.

“We found them, Emperor,”Embrya said breathlessly. Tellez, without looking up, seemed impressed. Embrya asked if she should send the royal guards and troops after the fugitives, but Tellez simply ordered her to retrieve them by any means necessary. The reptilian planet was in for a rude awakening.

As the perdolians and reptilians enjoyed a dinner together, their peace was shattered by Embrya’s arrival in an unknown aircraft. She demanded the surrender of the fugitives, threatening harm to the village if they refused.

The reptilians, sensing her malevolent intentions, refused to hand over their guests. They prepared for battle, using whatever weapons they had at hand.

“We cannot let her take our friends,” hissed S’karr, brandishing a sharp blade. “We must fight to protect them.”

“But she has dark magic on her side,” cautioned Lirael, a wise elder of the reptilian clan. “We must be cautious.”

Ambria smirked, unleashing a dark aura around her. With a single stroke, she slaughtered half of the village, showing her power and cruelty.

The reptilians fought back valiantly, but they were no match for Ambria’s dark magic.

“We need help,” shouted Gaius, a young warrior. “We must seek aid from the Forest Spirits.”

Meanwhile, the perdolians, sensing the danger, fled into the forests, hoping to find safety.

In the chaos, Kaisan sensed the disturbance in the cosmic force during his meditation. He knew their people were in danger; he could hear the cries and pleas of his people as they were slowly being slaughtered by an unknown force.

“What happened to the rest of the perdolians? Who could have done this to them?” Kaisan pondered to himself.

“They would have known about their location unless they were located using their cosmic force,” he mumbled, trying to make sense of the tragedy.

Meanwhile, in the dark Haven quarters, Embrya successfully completed the mission of slaughtering the remaining perdolians. She bowed before her emperor, Tellez, and reported, “The mission has been completed, master. All the remaining perdolians have been eliminated.”

Tellez smiled proudly and praised her, “Very good, my faithful servant. From this day on, you will be my second in command.”

Curious, Embrya inquired about the fate of the Royal guards, particularly Angel, who was in the second command. Tellez reassured her, “He will now take commands under you. Your spectacular job has earned you this position, there will be no need for objections.”

Meanwhile back on earth
Lily Residence, a futuristic home filled with advanced technology and gadgets, was the setting for an intriguing interaction between Lily and Baail. Lily, a brilliant young scientist, was engrossed in studying a unique machine base beacon that doubled as a map. Just as she was on the verge of unraveling its mysteries, Baail, a mysterious young boy, entered the room and caught Lily off guard.

“Hey, Lily, what are you doing with my device?” Baail inquired, his curiosity piqued.

Lily jumped in surprise and exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, Baail, you scared me!”

Apologizing profusely, Baail explained, “I’m sorry, I just got curious about what you were up to.”

As Lily shifted the focus to the beacon, she asked Baail about its purpose. Baail confirmed that the beacon was indeed meant to guide him and his kind. Lily, struggling to manipulate the device, expressed her frustration, “I can’t seem to get this thing to work no matter what I do.”

Offering to help, Baail approached Lily and took the beacon in his hands. Lily tossed it towards him, challenging his abilities, “Knock yourself out, I doubt you can crack it.”

With a smirk, Baail accepted the challenge, declaring, “Trust me, this is not meant for you or any other species.”

Curious and a hint jealous, Lily crossed her arms and retorted, “What can you possibly do that I cannot?”

Suddenly, Baail emitted a brilliant aura from his body, causing the beacon to react. A retro scan initiated, identifying Baail as a petroleum and projecting a holographic trajectory. Amazed, Lily exclaimed, “This beacon is not just a beacon; it’s a map! It holds the location of your people.”

Excitedly, Baail examined the holographic map, tracing the distance to their destination. As they delved into the intricacies of the beacon and its capabilities, their dialogue became more animated and complex.

Lily marveled at the advanced technology, “This is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. How does it work?”

Baail, with a mysterious smile, explained, “It harnesses the energy of our kind to activate its functions. It resonates with our essence, guiding us home.”

As they continued to explore the beacon’s features, their conversation delved into the science fiction realm, discussing intergalactic travel, alien civilizations, and the secrets of the universe. Lily’s scientific mind was fascinated by the possibilities, while Baail’s enigmatic nature added an air of mystery to their discussions.

Together, they embarked on a journey of discovery and exploration, unlocking the secrets of the beacon and unraveling the mysteries of Baail’s origins. Their dialogue-centric interaction revealed a deep connection between them, bridging the gap between different worlds and forging a bond that transcended mere curiosity.

Examining the map, Lily pointed out the location of Star Fall and the mystic forest, determining that the beacon was pointing beyond the mountains of the ancient ruins. Realizing the long journey ahead, Baail inquired about a faster mode of transport.

Just then, Jake the half-elf with mechanical arms and Thomas Green, a teacher of languages and engineer, entered the room. Lily quickly explained the situation, and Mr. Green reassured them that he had retrieved a ship from the mystic forest that would expedite their journey.

With a sense of excitement and anticipation, the group followed Mr. Green back to his warehouse, where the magical ship awaited them. With newfound resolve and a means of swift transportation, Lily, Baail, Jake, and Mr. Green set off on their fantastical adventure to reach the distant location indicated by the beacon.

Baail was still taken aback by the transformation of his escape pod into an operational ship. He couldn’t believe the level of technology the professor and Jake had used to make it possible.

“So you guys turned my escape pod into a ship?” Baail asked, his voice filled with surprise and confusion.

Before Jake could respond, Professor Green jumped in, brimming with excitement. “Yes, with our brand new state-of-the-art technology, we were able to modify your pod into a fully operational aircraft. Isn’t it incredible?” he exclaimed.

Baail examined the newly transformed ship and nodded in approval. “It seems operational. I must take the infant girl, Amelia, back to the king and queen,” he said as he made his way to the infant’s room.

But Lily intervened, halting Baail in his tracks. “Wait a minute. Are you saying you’re going alone?” she questioned, her tone filled with concern.

Baail affirmed his decision. “Yes, it’s my mission, and I must complete it,” he stated firmly as he began packing his belongings for the journey.

However, Lily wasn’t having it. “We agreed to do this together. What about your younger brother? Are you planning to take him along too?” she inquired, her worry evident on her face.

Baail’s gaze shifted to his sleeping brother, Abisai, and then back to Lily. “It’s too dangerous to bring two infants on this journey. One will stay here while I take the other with me,” he explained.

But Lily wasn’t convinced. “No, that’s out of the question. We’re coming with you,” she declared, her tone resolute.

Growing frustrated, Baail tried to reason with her. “My people won’t allow outsiders in our domain. It’s not safe,” he argued.

Ignoring his protests, Lily stood her ground. “I don’t care. We’re going,” she insisted firmly, refusing to back down.

Jake and Professor Green finally stepped in, putting an end to the heated discussion. “Enough, both of you,” they said simultaneously, their voices united in authority.

Jake interjected, breaking the tension with a touch of humor. “You two are just like a married couple, and considering Baail is younger than you, it’s quite amusing,” he teased, causing both Baail and Lily to blush furiously.

As they prepared for their upcoming adventure,

Growing frustrated, Baail tried to reason with her. “My people won’t allow outsiders in our domain. It’s not safe,” he argued.

Ignoring his protests, Lily stood her ground. “I don’t care. We’re going,” she insisted firmly, refusing to back down.

Jake and Professor Green finally stepped in, putting an end to the heated discussion. “Enough, both of you,” they said simultaneously, their voices united in authority.

Jake interjected, breaking the tension with a touch of humor. “You two are just like a married couple, and considering Baail is younger than you, it’s quite amusing,” he teased, causing both Baail and Lily to blush furiously.

As they prepared for their upcoming adventure, Baail, Lily, and their companions knew they were in for a journey full of challenges and unexpected twists, but they were determined to face them together, united in their quest.

Baail chuckled nervously and replied, “Well, I suppose you could say we make quite the dynamic duo.”

Lily rolled her eyes and retorted, “More like a pair of bickering siblings. But come on, Baail, you can’t leave us behind on such a thrilling adventure!” She pleaded with a puppy dog look.

Baail, torn between duty and friendship, turned to Jak and Professor Green for advice. “What do you think, guys? Should we let these two troublemakers tag along?”

Professor Green chuckled and patted Baail on the back, “Oh, why not? The more, the merrier! Plus, it’ll be good to have some extra muscle on this mission.”

Jak grinned mischievously, “Looks like we’ve got ourselves a full-blown adventure party now! Let’s make some memories, folks.”

Lily’s heart raced with excitement as she stood with her friends, ready to embark on an extraordinary journey to the hidden base of the king and queen. Baail, Jak, and Mr. Green were all there, ready to face whatever challenges came their way.

Right before they could leave, Lily’s mother Catherine appeared, her expression stern. She hold baby Abisasi in her arms and look at Lily, her grip tightening on her daughter’s arm.

“So you guys were going without saying goodbye? Well, I forbid it,” Catherine said firmly, putting her foot down.

Lily, with hopeful eyes, tried to reason with her mother. “But Mother, I want to go on this adventure. Baail is my friend, I trust him,” she pleaded.

Before Catherine could respond, Baail stepped forward, determination in his eyes. “She wants to meet my people, Catherine. She is the only one I trust to bring along on this journey,” he said firmly.

Just as Catherine seemed to soften, Jak and Mr. Green interjected in unison.

“I’ll be keeping a close eye on her, don’t worry,” Jak said confidently.

“And I will be watching over her as well,” Mr. Green added.

Catherine looked from one to the other, seeing the sincerity in their faces. She took a deep breath and finally nodded. “Fine, but you all better keep her safe. And don’t let anything happen to my daughter,” Catherine said, reluctantly handing Lily over to Baail.

With that, the group set off on their fantastical adventure, with Lily in tow, ready to explore new worlds and face whatever challenges came their way.

As they began traveled towards the unknown and time, encountering strange creatures and overcoming obstacles, their bonds grew stronger, and they realized that together, they were unstoppable. And so, with the power of teamwork and determination, they continued on their epic journey, facing whatever came their way with bravery and unity.

The group continued on their journey, weaving through forests and crossing rivers, encountering all sorts of strange creatures along the way. From giant insects to talking trees, each new encounter brought them closer together and strengthened their bond. As they faced each obstacle with determination, they realized that together, they were indeed unstoppable.

Despite Lily’s constant complaints about being bored and hungry, the group pressed on, determined to reach their destination. Professor Green, with his vast knowledge of the universe, guided them through the unknown terrain, while Baail used his strength to clear the path ahead. Jak, the tech-savvy member of the group, continued to analyze the beacon map, making sure they stayed on course.

One night, as they set up camp near a crystal-clear lake, Lily finally spoke up. “I know I’ve been complaining a lot, but I want you all to know how grateful I am to have you by my side. I never would have made it this far without your help.” The rest of the group nodded in agreement, their faces illuminated by the glowing fire.

As they sat around the campfire, they shared stories of their past adventures and dreams for the future. Professor Green spoke of the ancient civilizations he had studied, Baail shared tales of his home planet, and Jak talked about his latest invention ideas. Lily, wide-eyed with wonder, listened intently, feeling more connected to her friends than ever before.

The next day, as they approached the hidden base of the perdolians, they looked towards the horizon of mountains so majestic that you think anything is possible.

“As Lily looked around at the location, she realized there’s nothing here,” she said.

Jak, noticing as well, replied, “Yeah, you’re right. This place is completely deserted. I mean, sure, the mountains are cool and the waterfall, but there’s nothing here.”

Professor Green, feeling a sense of unease, asked, “Baail, are you sure the perdolians are here?”

Baail nodded and confirmed, “I’m positive. There’s no other place they could be. The beacon map is showing me.” He then showed the holographic map to the professor.

As Professor Green pondered where the perdolians could possibly be, he thought to himself, “If I was a new race of aliens crashing into Earth, where would I be?”

He then held the holographic beacon towards the waterfalls and exclaimed, “Right in there!”

Baail, Lily, and Jak were completely shocked, realizing that the base was hidden under the mountains of the falls. This revelation sparked a new sense of excitement and anticipation for what awaited them in the hidden base of the perdolians.

The group quickly made their way towards the waterfall, eager to uncover the secrets that lay beneath the surface. As they approached, a sense of wonder and mystery enveloped them, setting the stage for an epic adventure beyond their wildest dreams.

Baail, Lily, and Jak found themselves standing at the edge of the mountain, mesmerized by the majestic sight of the cascading waterfall. Professor Green, with his adventurous spirit, led the way as they ventured closer to the waterfall. Suddenly, a bridge materialized in front of them, prompting Baail to marvel at the ingenuity of the ancient perdolians.

As they cautiously made their way across the bridge, a massive door emerged from the base of the waterfall. Lily and Jak took a step forward, but Baail stopped them in their tracks. Holding baby Alamra in his arms, Baail instructed them to wait as he approached the door. The door scanned his retinas and the infant, prompting it to demand identification in a robotic voice.

Baail removed his glove to reveal the sigil of the Black Wing Destiny, causing the door to unlock and grant them access. Lily turned to Professor Green, seeking an explanation for the strange occurrence. The professor speculated that the door served as a defense mechanism to identify individuals of the same species, shedding light on Baail’s earlier reluctance to have them follow.

As they entered the mysterious realm beyond the door, they were greeted by a vast expanse that could easily lead one to get lost. Baail suddenly sensed a presence and warned the others to stay back, a sense of foreboding washing over him. Shadowy figures emerged from the walls, armed and ready to attack.

A female pedolian with violet-purple hair brandished a spear, accusing them of trespassing. Her companion, a ninja-like figure with a mask, echoed her sentiments. Lily, Jak, and Professor Green found themselves at the mercy of these hostile beings until Baail intervened, blocking the female’s attack with a wooden sword.

Through his intervention, Baail revealed his identity and purpose, earning the trust and recognition of the pedolians named Sirius and Mida. They were then introduced to Austria and Kaisan, and Baail explained that they were there to deliver Amelia, the daughter of the rulers.

However, tensions rose when Mida hurled her spear at Lily, insisting that outsiders were not welcome in their midst. Lily, taken aback by the aggression, defended herself and the group’s innocence. An unexpected young pedolian named Antonius appeared, explaining that they had learned the group’s language from the World Wide Web.

As discussions ensued, it became apparent that the pedolians were wary of outsiders due to past betrayals by the ancient elves. Just as the situation seemed dire, the king and queen of the pedolians emerged, offering a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution.

The king and queen, with their regal presence and wise demeanor, listened intently to Baail’s explanation and the group’s plea for understanding. They recognized Baail’s sigil and his noble intentions, leading them to welcome the travelers into their midst with open arms.

As the group settled into the pedolian base, they were treated to a feast of exotic delicacies and entertained by mesmerizing performances. Baail, Lily, Jak, and Professor Green found themselves immersed in a world of wonder and magic, where ancient traditions and modern technologies coexisted harmoniously.

They all seated as Queen Austria asked Baail about his journey and how he ended up with those three. The young boy replied, “I met them at the mystic forest,” he answered sincerely. As Austria nodded, she asked about his younger brother, Abisai.

Before Baail could respond, Lily cut in nervously, “Don’t worry about him, he’s in good hands.” Kaisan noticed Lily’s expression and questioned, “What do you mean by ‘in good hands’?” Lily, overwhelmed by her own shadow, replied nervously, “My mother’s taking care of him.”

Kaisan stood up and walked towards Lily with a serious expression. “Are you telling me that one of our kind is with your mother?” Lily, looking freaked out, replied, “Theoretically speaking, yes.”

Kaisan returned to his seat and warned, “You doom us all, both your species and ours, by letting the son nova amongst your meds.” Professor Green interrupted, “He’s just a child, why is that a problem?”

Austria and Kaisan remained silent, not because they couldn’t speak, but because they didn’t trust them with the secrets of the Book of Prophecy. Austria finally spoke, “You do not understand the consequences of a risen Pergolian child.”

Kaisan added, “This child was born with uncontrolled power, a cosmic force mixed with magic that makes him very dangerous to us.” Baail defended his brother, stating, “He hasn’t caused mischief or destruction, there is only a force surrounding him.”

Kaisan remained unconvinced, “It is only a matter of time before he awakens the cosmic force again. And when he does, there will be nowhere for us to hide, especially if the Dark Haven Empire finds us.” Lily, Professor Green, and Jak were confused, asking in unison, “What is the Dark Haven Empire?”

The dialogue continued, filled with tension and mystery as the group grappled with the dangerous potential of the young Pergolian boy and the looming threat of the Dark Haven Empire in the world of tales of perdolia.
