To the souls like mine

The Universe is the most powerful itself. It has a powerhouse called The Trio World. It’s an integration of three world, named; The Magic world, The Peace World and The Dark World.  They lived harmoniously. The Magic world has the purest and powerful magic. It is the most dignified world. The Peace world has the light magic and it’s the balance of actions of everything. Dark world uses shadow magic. It’s the most fearful magic. But in Dark world a group of people uses the evilest magic against the law of universe. They use the sacrificial as the evilest magic and known as The Dark Shadows.

Once the destructions by the Dark shadows spread all over the world immensely. By the sacrificial magic they were become more powerful beyond the power of the Trio World. That’s when the most powerful witch in the Trio World prophesied that the child of Universe will be born in to the magic world soon. She will become the Queen of The Universe. Also, in each world in Trio World each child will be born and one of them will become her king and others will be her companions.  And all together they will save the world.

We’re destined to find each other. So, I will find you again. Even if I have to set fire on all over the world, even if it takes all the means, even if you hate me; I’ll bring you back.

About the Author

LET’S GO BACK!

[Rustle of swords, noises, screams, magical voices, sparkles………...]

No don’t……please…. [screaming]

[Crying] Don’t die please….

[Screaming] Stefen…. [She startled from her sleep.]

Did you see me in your dream again, Rya? 

He patted her head.

Stefen she looked at him with her teary eyes.

Guess like I’m. she replied.

Come on wake up and get ready. It’s time to go. Uncle is waiting for us on the downstairs. Stefen said.

Yeah, I’ll be there soon. Rya said with a smile.

Stefen is 21 years old young boy. He has White silver hair, ocean blue eyes and fair skin. He looks like Silver Star in the sky.

Rya is 19-year-old girl. She has golden shiny hair, golden crystal eyes, golden fair skin. She looks like a sun.

Rya is two years younger than Stefen. Even though Rya and Stefen are born from different parents; they’re always lived as a real sibling from the day they were born. Their parents were best friends from high school. From that moment they all always lived together as a family. But when Rya and Stefen were too young their parents died. So, their parent’s friend brought them in to his hometown and raised them until now. But now they are leaving here and returning to their hometown. Their biggest wish is to study where their parents were grown, lived and fell in love. Now they came age to go back and study in the Same University as their parents.

{Downstairs}

[Their uncle and his wife Mr. & Mrs. Rien and his son Shan is waiting for them. The servants were preparing the table for breakfast and some of them are taking care of the things for their journey.]

[On the dining]

Are you two prepared to go?  Mr. Rein asked to them.

Yes.  They answered while sitting on the chair.

I’ve prepared your old house to stay as you wish. There will some of few more servants to taking care of you.  Uncle said.

But uncle we can take care of ourselves now. There’s no need of so many people to taking care of us now. Rya suggested.

No, don’t forget you two are a royalty. Even your parents wish to live a normal life but when they had you, they want to give you the most beautiful life; that’s why they build that home, they want to give you what you worth. And about that people; they were honored to serve you two. So please respect that decision and honor your parents wish. Live as a royalty. 

They were silent like there was nothing to say anymore. They just nodded.

Please take care of yourself and have a safe journey. We’ll visit you sometimes.

They sent them off. It’s so heart breaking for both of them. For Rya and Stefen they were the family from the day they lost their parents. At first, it’s so hard for them to accept a new place and new family. But eventually they know how lucky they are to taking care of by them. For uncle’s family they was so honored and dedicated and to serve and taking care of them, but eventually they took them as his own children. Somehow there were some special bonds were made like that this journey broke their heart even though they were returning to their home as they wish for from the day they left.

‘Goodbyes are always bittersweet.’

Empty Home

They reached their home by night. It was Dark already. They remembered the time they left their home; it’s also in a night; the night they lost their parents. Until now they didn’t come here even once. Now they are home after 14 years.

That mansion is at a lake area that on the hill top, having beautiful trees and flowers around it. It’s look so delicate. Roofs and walls are gold and silver with Black pillars.

Stefen hold Rya’s hand and he said It’s alright. I’m here.

After her parents died, Stefen is her world. He is like a parent to her. For him she is his only world too. He always believes to make her happy is the duty and responsibility of him as a big brother. That’s why until today he always acts tough and hold his tears to give her courage.

I know she whispered. She is stumbling.

This house feels so empty without them. It doesn’t feel like home, but I’m glad that you’re here with me brother. Thank you.  Rya said.

Yeah…. then let’s make it a home. Our parents will be always watching over us. So, let’s show them, the home they made for us is still a home. Even if it feels like empty today one day, we will call it a home again. That day this home is full of joy and happiness and my little princess’s smile. What do you say? 

He patted her head. She knew he was trying to comfort her. She can feel his emptiness too.

Then, that day, I’ll say ‘I’m Home! she looked at him with a softy eyes.

It’s getting late. Go and take a nap. We have to attend the orientation program at university and before that uncle said we have to meet the director. So please go and take a rest. Let’s take a look at our home another time. Ok! 

She knew if they keep take looking at home make them more miserable. And what he said was he wants to make her comfortable. And she was so tired too.

Ok, then I will go and take a rest. You too do the same. Ok? 

Yeah… 

[They choose to sleep that day on their own parent’s room that day, so they don’t feel alone.]

‘’Dad…. Mom…. I’m going to start my class in the same university as you."  She sniffled.

Uncle and auntie, I know you were always there for my parents, now Stefen is there for me… I’m grateful. I miss you all. she let her tears be a lullaby.

That day he couldn’t sleep. He also let his tears fall down, so he’ll get the courage to move forward and take care of her. He only let his tears fall down when she is not around.

I miss you all, but I promise; I’ll take care of Rya and myself too. We’ll be doing just great at our university. I’ll not cry anymore and I’ll not let her get hurt too. I’ll be there for her anytime. I promise.  So please watch over us, dad…. mom…. uncle and auntie…. 

Someone’s watching

[Screaming] No…. 

She startled from her sleep.

Good morning, are you alright Princess...? Did you have a nightmare? the maid asked.

Yeah…. Good morning, I’m fine. It’s kind of a daily routine now. 

Yeah, that’s right.  Stefen chuckled

Good morning prince maid greeted him.

Good morning. But don’t call me prince, call me Stefen.  Stefen humbly said.

Yeah, that goes for me too, call me Rya.

They get ready and they had their breakfast and get off really fast as could as they can.

[In the university]

There is a breeze welcoming them like it is waiting for them to come. They feel so refresh and happy. They walk along through the ground looking around university to find the office.

[Stefen’s phone ringing……]

It’s uncle, let me take this call. 

He took that call. ‘’Ok uncle"

He said he will send me some documents regarding our entrance. So I have to check it before we find the office. He said to Rya.

Then I’ll go ask them where is the office. She pointed some students little far.

Ok, but don’t go too far. He spoke

She nodded.

[He is sitting on a bench near him, checking the documents.]

He feels so strange suddenly. Like someone is watching him. More than that it’s a feeling he don’t understand and yet same time he already knew. He looked around. No one’s there. He turned his face he suddenly startled.

Sorry, did I scare you?  That young man asked.

He looks like as same age as Stefen. He has a yellowish-brown hair, ocean green eyes, and a golden skin. He looks like a golden star in the sky.

Stefen couldn’t say anything. His tears were falls their own. He felt something heavy in his chest. The one in front of him who is he? He asked himself.

I’m sorry. Please take care of yourself and take care of our little princess. You are not alone anymore. Thank you! The one before him is also crying. Why is he crying, why did he tell me this? Did he know me and Rya? He asked himself. Before he asked to him, he disappeared in the wind. It’s felt like a dream to him.

He looked for Rya.

[On the other side Rya]

After she asked that students about office, while returning, she felt something strange too. It’s like she is been watching. It’s more like a wind. Because even she looked around, she saw no one. But she was getting a feel that someone is watching over her, and she felt that it’s not an enemy; but someone she cares, someone she loves or someone she wishes to see. She felt uneasy. Her heart felt ache. Her eyes filled with tears.

Rya, here you are! Stefen appeared. He panicked, because he can see that she is worried. "What happened?’’

Nothing, I just felt someone is watching me.

He got confused. But he didn’t want to make worry her anymore. So, he just told her to let it go, it must be some stalkers. She tried to believe it even though she knew something wrong about Stefen’s too. So, she didn’t want to make him more worried too.

Are you done with the documents? I asked them where the office is, it’s on the other side. Can we go now?  Yeah, let’s go. They walked to the office.

[In the office]

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, you must be Rya and Stefen. Mr. Rien called me earlier too. Everything is taking care of. Please show me the documents you have now. Then it’s done.

Thank you very much. They were so happy.

We are honored to have you here!

No sir, the pleasure is ours. They replied to him.

They were got out from the office. On the door they bumped someone.

Sorry, are you alright? Stefen asked

Yeah, it’s alright.  That young man said.

When they raised their head and looked at each other, they felt like there’s a thread connecting through their heart.

Do we know each other?

Rya stood there like a statue. She couldn’t say anything. She felt a heavy pain in her heart, yet there’s a feeling that she got back something precious to her. Her tears were falling down but she didn’t understand why it is; is it regret, guilty or happiness? Even though, why?  She just stood there looking in his eyes.

Oh sorry, did I hurt you, is that why you crying? He panicked.

No, I…. No, it’s nothing. She wiped her tears.

Do we know each other? Stefen asked to him.

I don’t think so. I’m new to this town. He
