Symbols

The sun rays peeled through the curtains of Talia’s room and it affected Lina’s sweet sleep, she used her hands to shield her eyes from the sun rays but it was already day break, there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.

She climbed off the bed grumpy, stretched and took her tooth brush and headed for the bathroom.

Dressed in a pair of black jeans and black collar shirt which was her signature outfit, her silver hair cascaded down her back beautiful, she applied her eyeliner and then went for her lip gloss which she applied carefully on her lips.

She picked up her black leather jacket which hanged on the chair and put it on, she was satisfied with her look and left the sitting room.

The living room was empty, and neat. Karen did a good job keeping this place clean, and even Talia, speaking of Talia, seemed like she went to school.

Lina took her time to take in the interior decoration of the sitting room, it had high walls, very long curtains and a large silver chandelier placed at the middle top of the sitting room. The chairs were arranged neatly, the center table which was made of marble had a vase of flower on it. The huge tv placed firmly on the wall was beautiful. In one word, it was magnificent.

Lina’s eyes then landed on the ancient pictures which hanged at the wall, she approached them and looked at it, it had the same symbols as the trees which formed a cycle in the middle of the forest. Each tree had a symbol, and these pictures showed it, what could this mean?

Lina used her index finger to wipe off the dust on one of the pictures (at the symbol area) and read it but she could not understand it because it was written in a foreign language.

“Studying pictures?” Karen’s voice echoed behind her, she turned and found Karen smiling at her “good morning Karen, I was just looking at the symbols, and it looked familiar, I think” she shrugged

“Well, these pictures are mysterious, for the past five hundred years, explorers have been trying to unravel the mystery but…” she paused because she had gotten closer to the picture, she placed her hand on one of the picture and said

“They could not” “why?” Lina asked “because according to the write up at the picture, the foreign language” Karen pointed out at the language which Lina could not understand

“It says, born into this world would be two brilliant people who are the only ones to unravel this mystery. They have much power than they know and they have a connection that no one would ever think of.” Karen explained

“So who are they?” Lina asked “that is the problem, no one knows” Karen responded “what about lord Peres, he should have an idea about this right?”

“Lina, Peres lost his memory thanks to Diana in the first war and he is trying to recollect his past, we can not force him to remember because it would make the problem complicated” Karen explained

“I saw trees at the middle of the forest and they had these same symbols, I feel they are connected, it can not be a coincidence, could it?” Lina asked

“That I can not tell, wait! Have you eaten?” Karen’s eyes almost pooped out of

her eye socket when the realization dawned on her that Lina had not eaten

“No” Lina replied childish “oh! Geezz, I came to wake you up this morning and you were still asleep and you told me to go away” Karen told her winking at her.

Lina facepalmed, she could not believe that she actually told Karen that, “there is nothing to be shy about, it is normal, I believe you were exhausted” Karen kept smiling at her.

Karen sliced fruits into a clean plate and then added a liquid milk, “Lina! Your meal is ready, it is fresh fruits gotten from the garden this morning” Karen said satisfied with her handwork

Lina looked at the elderly woman and smiled, she was not bad at all, she loved to carry everybody along. “Thanks for the meal, I really appreciate” Lina appreciated “it is nothing dear” Karen replied and left the sitting room.

Lina ate silently, her mind was in chaos, why does it feel like her situation was getting worse and things were getting to complicated as the time went by

First, there is an upcoming battle that if not handled carefully, it would result to revealing the demons, witch and fairies to the humans which would only cause disaster.

Second, her missing mother, there was a seventy percent chance that those drones took her, was her mother still alive?

Third, Talia’s true identity, who was she and how would they figure it out, she had promised to help her but she did not even know how?

Lastly, those symbols, she felt a strong urge to figure out those symbols and the meaning, even if it did not concern her, she just wanted to figure it out.

Lina placed her hand her head and breathed heavily, this was a complicating issue that she had no idea where to begin. She had no one to ask about it and know no clue to start from.

She wished that her simple life would be returned to her, just wake in the morning, the maids help you to bath, dress, train, eat, have fun and go to bed. Her life had never been this complicating before.

Well, she was the one who asked for it, she always wanted freedom, to explore, no one told her that exploring was this hard and confusing, what was she expecting anyways?

She stood up and walked to the door, opened it and took a deep breath saying

“Let’s see what today’s episode of life would be, what would life give to me?”
