4. "Welcome to my home"

I admit, I have lost a good portion of my brain cells already..

I mean this clealy hasn't even started yet!!

"That is almost unbelievable! ..i guess the word I am looking for is...impossible.

Mr.Malkan,

I am sorry ..

No offence but that line is from a fairytale my parents took turns to narrate to me and my brother everyyyy night for like all of our childhood."...

"But now that I am here....

It nomore seems like just a line from a fairytale that noone ever heard of except our family back on earth.

It feels like it all makes sense..like all of it is real.."

I spoke in tone of slow realization.

Maybe 'cause I did lose a few brain cells.

"Afterall fairytales are real my dear" ,

Chief Malkan was sounding dreamy as he said that with his smile still intact on his face.

"I guess thats why my friends found it funny when i tried to narrate my favourite fairytail of all times ...

Dad loved it too..He just enjoyed himself as he read it to us .

..Wait does that possibly mean..that MY parents somehow know th..that ..that planon EXISTS!!!???" ,

Not that me panicking was enough that Caleb decided to barge in and move around like a minion suffering from anxiety.

"Chief just sit down...

I won't say relax ..but ...

just breathe. ..

As always you were right"

Caleb had literally forced Mr. Malkan onto a seat and was assuring him for I dont know what!

"Aura dear ,

I had seen many possibilities of us being attacked so that they could get their hands on you..

I could see the the whole town wrapt in sleep when you had arrived here ..

It was too late dear to do anything !

But i had to explain you a bit atleast...

Its not safe here..

Go with Caleb..quick!"

Mr.Malkan warned and almost screamed in despiration ..but weirdly in a sleepy tone .

"Chief ..It will be all turn normal in a while i guess..

The Whiulus Chief is on his way"

Caleb left Mr.Malkan's side and advanced towards me .

He quickly caught hold of my hand and with one last look at the place ..

He turned towards me and again the walls of blue glitters rose all around.

The walls fell down , Again with a ping.

We stood before yet another magnificient gateway of striking cobalt blue

...It was like frozen blue waters that made this whole place.

Covered in mystic blue mist the place looked incredible.

The star-colour of these people must be blue because this entire place is just all possible shades of blue.

Everything is just blueeee...the whole town!!

The sky was the only thing that looked normal to me. But its funny how this place gives winter vibes and is yet so lively and fresh!

Just charming!!

"Welcome to my home",

Caleb softly whispered into my ears as I stood stunned in front of a giannnttt castle made of shinny..glowing crystals ...

Making sure I dont jump on hearing his voice.

" This place is ...",

I tried to come up with a word

"I know" ,

He smirked...can't he just smile or something!

As we enter ..It's huge and spacious

It's a god damn castle Aura!!

We are surrounded by walls of mirrors and a hint silver everywhere and sculptures made up of a material resembling a shinny glass,

This castle is apparently his "home"...I am not exactly envious but just jealous i guess..have i stopped making sense!?

"Listen..This place is "Gemzar " ,

The mind reading ileto lives here, The chief here is ....

Lior Henderson ..my father.

You are safe here.

Just one thing..

He is not here currently and I need to be somewhere.."

That's just great.

"No I am not leaving you here alone..you are coming with me.." "Meanwhile..

I could answer a few of your questions I guess" ,

He spoke as if he was doing me a favour.

"Where are we going?",

I asked bluntly,

Trying my best to play the favour game well.

"PanPan has a baby brother now ..gotta see if it's alright.

And yes !

The pets here come to their owners whenever they want to so ..

PanPan was home a longtime back.

Shall we move now, Miss.Collins?"

"umm..yeah"

Even though the thought of watching baby PanPan seriously exicted me a lot!!..

But I took my turn of acting reticent.

As we walked I couldn't hold it within as I felt my mind explode with dozens of unanswered questions within.

I know Caleb is not exactly the person I expect to answer me back properly but in his case i always have no options!

"So ..do you think my parents know about all this? ..and why exactly am I here!??"

"Actually they do...And..thats why they narrated you those stories about this place.

You are here because ..The future of this world..Our future ..depends on what you think.

Don't panic.

It's a long story but it all started when we settled here..created this world of ours ..the viscon chief then..predicted that ..

One day we all will see and come across someone who believes that magic can be mended..or that we have the rights to overrule it, That person will destroy everything!..

I know sounds cliche but he said he could see no solution for it what-so-ever.. but knew the person who could help us.

The person he said ..would be a family member of the chief of Leva ileto..the community of love.

So in order to keep the future generations of the Leva community safe ..the then chief of Leva decided to send his son to live on earth.. amongst the normal humans...

he was prohibited of using his powers there.

So.. for years the family grew and the story of planon and maxipians was narrated to every child of the family .

As he or she reaches the age of 26 ..

The secret of this place is revealed to them and they would get bond with a spell that stops them from revealing this place to anyone else except their blood family and their partner ...

Who get spelled automatically too..

That mark you have on your neck is the one that connects you and your family to your roots...to your origin.

So...I guess you can figure out now that what you are here for."

Will I ever stop undergoing these virtual highvoltage shock treatments

I am going through ever since i meant him!!!???

"You mean I am not even a human now, Is it!!???"

I asked ,

My voice echoing the clear refined walls..

oh! that was more like shouting... late realization again.

"I suppose i was pretty clear..And keep your voice down it must be asleep"

That's when i realized we were standing in midst of a high -ceilinged room made entirely of glass of arctic blue shade.

This place was weirdly more warm for some reasons... thats when i noticed a huge fireplace of metallic ocean blue that was lit with sparkling flames of blue.

Caleb was already stroking the tiny little head of the new born cuvier that he picked from a tiny resting place that was most likely where panpan lived ..

It was adorable and was surrounded by what looked like blue foam and mist all around.

I walked carefully towards it and noticed PanPan staring at Caleb with his two sparkly big eyes in amusement.

Thats when I noticed a good number of cuveir's as the mist cleared around me ..they were not as small as Panpan but were plum and round .

They are his family i guess.

" Here ...be gentle..",

Caleb tenderly placed the newborn in my hands..

He covered only half of my palm as he released and curled his body lightly.

How old is he..

I said in my mind not wanting to break the comforting silence ..knowing very well Caleb could read it ...

"Like a day old now ..I had come to bring you here so i am seeing him for the first time myself",

Caleb whispered in muted tones ..if that is even possible.

The silence was however broken by light squeals of delight coming from the ceiling,

I immediately looked up and my eyes seemingly wanted to pop out

As i saw creatures that looked like dolphins made of the brightest diamonds just flying or swimming in and out of the ceiling and walls through air.

As I was gawking at the walls Caleb slowly took the newborn cuvier from my hand and placed it gently back .

Then he held his hand up in the air and my eyes didnt even know it had sockets because they were literally just out there.

I was breathless when these divine looking creatures descended down till his levels and continued to squeal and shimmer.

"You can raise your hand...

They are not exactly dolphins but appear mostly like them. We call them Dolgruka .

Give it a try"

As i raised my hand slowly I knew i was going to make a laughingstock of myself ..

But to my surprise i saw a dolph...dolgruka glide and swim gracefully through the air and come towards me and it gently placed it head under my hand ..

As if asking me to pet it.

The touch of it was ....magical...a mix shade of electric blue and pale turquoise.. it looked so fragile and yet sturdy at the same time .

It's eyes were watery and big ...it felt like they were delicately made to be so beautiful..especially this one.

It was comparetively smaller than the others but i felt it was most charming of them all.

"He is just six months old ..."

Caleb said.

"..and he really seems to like you..you should maybe have him as your pet" ,

A more deep but wiser voice came from the doors of this huge room.

I turned on my heels to see a tall man...not very young but had a strong and wise air around him.

He wore a heavy crown of silver and fantasy blue with a big sparkly blue diamond in middle. Sharp feautures..handsome face and a manly voice.

And showed a strong resemblance to....Caleb..like his older version.

"..'cause he is my dad"

Caleb smirked beside me .

And I immediately regreted thinking all that.

"Aura...I am Loir Henderson the Chief of Gemzar",

He walked towards me as his long velvety royal blue cape or more like royal mantle glided behind him.

"Pleasure to meet you si..sir...irr...Chief",

I replied not quiet sure if i was supposed to bow or speak.

"No dear..that's not required",

He laughed lightly after having read my thoughts

"But I really do think the idea of having him as your pet is not a bad one...

They can even help you transport you know..

They are highly intellectual creatures ...

loyal and very helpful...

I have one too..

Its the one high up there you see ..the prussian blue one..

You can pet one until you are here..and these wise creatures tend to choose their masters..

and it seems to have chosen you!"

I just stared up with my mouth open at the dolgruko he had just pointed at. It was magnificent

.And i really wanted to keep the one in front of me. I dont know why but it shared a strange connection with me already

And how could i deny ..when the chief had himself insisted ..

"So what is his name then?"

Caleb asked plainly.

"Dexter.."

I replied almost immediately I dont know how ..

I smiled awkwardly at both of them.

I can't believe I have a new pet!!!.

.My excitement was immediately killed as

"I hate to spoil your moment Aura but..this is important ...

I believe my son has already told you that our future depends on what you think .

In other words we believe the solution to our problem lies in your mind....

Since the day you are born ..we all knew it was you... as the viscon chief could see our future changing every moment from that day...

until that day it was always just blank.

But what seemed strange is one moment he could see our planet completely destroyed and non-existent ..and one moment he could see it being controlled..or sometimes it all looked normal..we realised that it somehow sycns with you mind state "

"..basically it was uncertain but we decided to bring you here immediately after what viscon chief saw a few days back..he saw our future had blurred out and almost looked like a tiny vague dot in complete dark.

This means our opponent has gained enough power right now. We are in the risk of an attack that we can't even think of how to prevent...

That's why you are brought to me so that I can try and collect as much clue i can from your mind"

He completed his sentence and looked at me ..expecting me to speak.

But i was blank.

How can someone find answers to save this place in my mind ..when I have never even been to this place before...

when I'm sooo confused myself!!

"Aura I know this sounds pointless but trust me we have to!! please!!

Just trust me"

Like father.Like son.

"Please just sit down and try your best to calm down ..

I will take just few minutes of your time to go through your thoughts..

please we have to try everthing possible to save our future!"

After trying my best to calm the chaos in my mind ..

I sit down in front of him just looking blankly into his eyes ..a shade of dark purple..

almost blue.

After a few mintues as he had said it would take ..Mr.Henderson got up and now spoke with a disturbed voice,

"I guess you were right my dear ..your mind is void of any thoughts about this land..no clue at all..

And there is only one way we can help your mind show us the way.

By letting you know this place a bit ..I am sure that will lead us somewhere..I am sure of it.

The place to start is your origin. It's already night ...you both need rest now.

Take rest now and you both such leave the first thing in the morning "

WE!!!??? With himmm....With Caleb- freakin'- Henderson!!!??AGAIN??

He paused and immediately looked up at his son and spoke,

"I need to go check on the viscon chief ..All the chiefs are on their way there..

I need to leave immediately. "

"And Aura ..

He isnt that bad and all the chiefs have agreed that he is the only person after the chiefs who can protect you ..

and he can read you that will help us get the answers soon..and he knows this place like the back of his hand..

Just trust him!! please cooperate and now that you know that you are a maxipian too..

This is OUR FUTURE my dear.. So please.."

"And .. Always stick with him..he wont let anyone hurt you.."

With that he vanished in glitters. And I turned to see the same smirking face of none other than ...

CALEB!!!..As cliche as this sound i reallyyyyy want to wipe that smirk off his face..I really want to....

"Right now all I want is to show you your room and get some sleep so..." He shrugged.

"Finneee!!!!",

I said through grinded teeth.

I am currently so terrified at the idea of even being with him tomorrow..I mean..

Couldn't I just get to be with a decent guy..who answers properly

..is sweet or maybe just not bossy and throws attitude everytime we speak..

or someone who is not just full of himself...

or just someone who doesn't smirk .!!!

"That's your room..",

He said as he opened the door to a large and lovely room.

I absentmindedly walked into it ..still complaining about the same thing in my head.

I hear a knock behind..and turn around to see Caleb standing by the door

"I already know whose going to be on your mind tonight"

Wait what did he just say!!!???Am i just hearing things now!!??

He laughed playfully in front of my eyes and resumed his signature smirk

"You are free to dream of me .....sugar."

He winked..and left as he shut the door close behind me.

Leaving me rooted to the place and staring at it in disbelief.

WHAT.JUST.HAPPENED!!??
