The universe…

A vast continuous space, where galaxies reside with planets and stars in complete harmony and peace like they should; however, today it is not likely so, as strange dark energies flow between the galaxies in a quiet, swift motion—forcing the lively planets to succumb to their death and the stars to grow cold and dim. As time goes on, everything in the universe is turning into a space graveyard. All seems lost, destroyed, and lifeless, except for the Milky Way. It has somehow managed to remain strong.

The dark presence was furious and quickly manifested a misty dark hand that was bigger than the Milky Way. As it closed in on it, suddenly an entity with a body of blue crystal in a shape of a man, arose from within the Milky Way leaving a trail of bright blue line, like a shooting star. It stood between his world and the approaching enemy; he was overcome with fear and determination to demolish the danger that appeared before him. He clapped his hands together, and forced a ball of energy to form, and once he pulled his hands back, a magnificent sword was revealed. The sword was bigger than the man but easy to wield, like a feather.

The fight was long; the only way to tell was the tiredness and hunger, since there is no sense of time in the open space.

The huge hand had the advantage, since it consumed lives and energy before the fight and the blue entity hadn’t anticipated the profound danger until it arrived.

As the blue entity was about to die, another entity came out to aid him. This one was crimson red and gave out a sense of rage as it fought the hand furiously. The red entity managed to cut the index finger, forcing the hand to retreat from where it came.

The red entity was more eager to follow the shadowy hand, but the blue entity opposed him. Two more entities—green and pink—appeared to find out about the situation.

After giving them a brief about what happened, the red entity looked at them and blurted an order before he departed. All felt scared and lost as they watched him leave.

Even after eons of waiting for their King’s return, they still kept their sanity and patience in check.

As per their King’s order, they created another world similar to Earth but smaller and well hidden from human eyes and their technology.

This world that was created as a last defense for mankind; it was called Crystaniya, which translated to a brighter hope in their celestial language.

It looks like a planet made of glass—it reflects the color of the universe and the sun’s beam like a mirror. The surface did not show continents, lands, or sea, but beneath the surface were countless orbs of crystals, each representing a realm that has life and creatures that inhabits it.

Each world has its own story and destiny, which always ends well, and by doing so, a bright golden sphere is pulled out from each orb of crystals. The sphere gently leaves the glass planet and melts into an invisible shield that surrounds the planet Earth like a fluffy blanket protecting it from any potential danger, mainly the monstrous shadowy hand.

For a century, everything on the glass planet was going according to plan; however, something unforeseen, something hard crashed into the surface, making a reasonable external scratch—it was a meteorite.

It looks harmless at first glance and might breakdown into pieces, like its precedes, however, that theory didn’t work today, instead something strange has happened.

From this tiny meteorite, large golden roots sprouted and surrounded the glass planet like a complex web; the roots were searching anxiously for any food or water, but as it was about to lose hope, a single tiny sphere just came out from the surface and touches the hungry roots which quickly been sucked up, the flavor was unique to the root, but gave it a strange boost of energy, although not enough to replenish its hunger.

The root waited for another sphere excitedly, except it took a long while for another to come out. Suddenly the roots realize that what it seeks, is below it and must be in huge quantity. The roots became greedy and made a huge ball of tangled roots, allowing a small clearing for its ultimate smash and with continues hit, a crack so deep is finally made, enough for the roots to go through it like a hungry herd.

As the roots were busy sucking on the golden spheres in huge quantities, a tree came out from that meteorite. The trunk was made of gold and the branches were gleaming with silver leaves.

The tree was peacefully breathing in and out. The middle section of the trunk was expanding like a baby bump.

After that the three entities returned to the glass planet to check on it, expecting to see everything in order, but instead they became fearful and shocked of the strange tree. As they were busy in discussing what to do next, the tree screamed in pain—the silver leaves fell soundlessly to the ground and their color changed as they touched the glossy floor to dark and grim. The trios were afraid as they realized that the cause of the color change was the strange, shadowy form. It was trying to move up carefully from the roots and enter the lower part of the trunk, in order to reach the middle section of the tree, where the healthy, looking bump was located.

The tree screamed, Please! My baby! My baby!

The trio were shocked at the request, and the pink entity quickly manifested an axe and without any hesitation it cuts the tree down before the black substance reaches the middle section of the tree.

As they look at the fallen part of the cut down tree, the bump started to move, as if something wants to get out.

The unexpected movement made the trio to manifest their own weapons, ready for this unidentified threat.

Suddenly something sharp like knife came out from the surface of the trunk. At first glance, it looked like a lock of hair.

Then it slowly moves, making a straight line and turns a corner to make another straight line, which soon became a rectangle shape, big enough for a child to come out of the trunk.

Once the hair-lock went back in the trunk, a piece of wood was pushed out to reveal a young boy with red wavy hair and light purple eyes. As the boy stood up, sap like liquid that covered him from his neck to toes was soon replaced by blue shirt with long sleeves, purple trousers, and brown boots.

The boy looks at them briefly as he walked towards them in steady steps.

The trio was scared of him; they don’t know the origin of this new creature, so they kept their guard up, just in case he attacked them.

The boy smiled at them and said, I thank you for saving me.

W-what are you? Said the blue one.

"... I’m a Naiyro. I am from a

The story was amazing, fascinating and thrilling. The kind of book you can’t put down, only when you hit the last page. Also I liked that the book has illustrations of some characters.

A quintessential work
This book is one of the paragons among the fantasies I have read. The author has a consummate vocabulary. Each word of this book drives us to read the next one. The narration is so creative that we get to see the world through his eyes and be involved in the authors' imagination, and the pace created kept me on the edge of my seat. The thrill I got is emanated from the narration itself.
The story concentrates around our main character Silic, who becomes the "preferred one" who must stop an evil force coming for the Milky Way Galaxy. Silic was such a great character. I loved his transmutation so much. I was a bit suspicious about him initially, but the more the story progressed, the more I grew an attachment to his character. It is absolutely bizarre and completely far-fetched; One could picture the scenes as it is very descriptive. There is nothing to dislike in this book. I'm pretty much sure you will enjoy it as much as I do.
It is definitely one of the best science fiction adventures you would come across. Highly recommended!

[Jailyn Fierro · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a novella that encompasses some of my favorite genres, fantasy and science fiction, and while reading I couldn’t help but feel like this was already a classic. Something about the writing style and essence of the story made me think of C.S Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

All I can say is that this story is magical from the beginning. Though there are a lot of characters that we are introduced to in such a short span, there are colorful drawings for each character that help keep track of who is in the story. The story centers around our main character Silic, who becomes the “chosen one” that must help stop an evil force coming for the Milky Way Galaxy.

I feel like this narrative is great in explaining the way some people may come in and out of your life and that goodbye’s are not forever. One of my favorite scenes comes from the end of the story and it is between Silic and Suonha. Their last conversation centers around how no one ends up remembering Suonha once a mission is done, hinting that once these two say goodbye Silic might not remember his friend. The importance I found from this scene was that Suonha mentions how he too grows fond of the people he meets even though he is aware they won’t remember him. Most importantly, I think Silic and even the reader takes comfort when Suonha mentions that the two will meet again and that although Silic might not be aware Suonha will always be watching after him.

I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and the progression we see with Silic’s character! I would definitely recommend this.
