11- findings

charge or a leader they receive command from...."

As Selena said that she could see the dark look that cross their faces and even Fiona shuddered having goosebumps .

with a grave expression and deep voice that sounded as if it came out from the depth of his stomach he said " that would be their leader...... shadower". He said in distaste.

Shadower?

That's a strange name. Is it because the creatures are like shadows, Selena thought. But still the name gave her goosebumps and her body recoiled as if being touched by something nasty. It felt like the air turned heavy and for a moment...she couldn't breath well until she shake her head to rid of the thought about this so called shadower.

She struggled for a while to stop her voice from trembling as she spoke " D-do you have any information about him" she said feeling uncomfortable but intrigue in finding out more about this shadower.

Raymond squint his eyes at her, because of her abnormal behaviour, but he then then faced the key board and tap to revel another file and he clicked once more. An image was then displayed on the screen " that's shadower " Bradon said looking back at her then turned to face the screen .

Shock, fear, confusion is all Selena felt as she slowly looked up to fave the screen. She could hear a distant screen, but it seemed to come from a buried memory. Her ears rang.she felt numb, her hearing was muffled as she only see the movement of Raymond lips as he spoke while facing the screen.

She was dazed, until she heard the distant calling of her name " Selena? Selena?.....are you okay" and with a jerk everything came rushing back in . she frantically turned her head to the hand that was on her shoulder. Tracing it she saw it was bradon and he had a look of confusion and concern at her stared at her.

"Hmm?" On a instinct she asked. " are you okay, you seemed dazed for a moment there?"

" yeah, u-um I'm fine. Its okay" she said and hurriedly turned her attention back to the screen, well aware of the side glance she got from the group.

Her attention on the screen, she fought back the chill she felt run down her back. Looking at the screen, she saw the image of a hooded figure which appeared to be a man with dark tattered robe. His body was shrouded with must which gave him a mysterious feeling. You could hardly even see him clearly. Tracing her eyes slowly up His body her eyes landed on his face which was mysteriously covered by a mask, therefore hiding the person face. This person was indeed really mysterious was what Selena thought as her gaze lingered longer on the hidden face. Her head buzzed and hummed fighting to bring something back, but she couldn't get a grasps of anything. She sighed dejectedly before turning her attention back to Raymond and she asked.

" is there any information gathered about him ". The others all exchange glances and thoughts not much that could help....then they said. Do you want to know a little information. We will fill you in on more as time goes by. After thinking she felt it might be good to hear some information. She nodded and Raymond proceeded to explain. "There are indeed a back story to what's happening now

A rough explanation us we are the ones chosen to bring redemption to our land wasteria..."

"Wastria" Selena mumbled " is that where you guys are from ". Clearly it wouldn't be a surprise if that's so as they indeed have unearthly beauty. They could be compared to the beauty of faes and nymphs according to Selena using her fantasy logic. As a matter of fact her days felt a little too surreal to be true. Just like one straight from a fantasy book. Her days aren't normal anymore.

Raymond chuckled before he said " as a matter if fact that's all where we all are from really ".

" what do you mean we?" She asked a little confused.

" I think this must be some critical information you leaves without " he processed to sit down to be more comfortable " we are from wisteria, but sadly our beautiful planet us in ruin. We are what humans call alien as that us what they refer to ones not from earth . I indeed got amused when I read what Human thought aliens look like-" he was interrupted by bradon " yes how could they think my beautiful perfect self has huge eyes with weird shaped head and skin that looked like one is being suffocated. But at least they didn't get the high level of intelligence wrong" he said boosting " Selena rolled her eyes and the others shook their head.

she wanted to badly say something to retaliate and destroy his pride a little but looking at him, she really had no words. If there was a definition of perfect these people before her are very good examples.

Selena couldn't help but look back at herself. She didn't feel she was that pretty or even be compared to them. Well that was partly her low esteem speaking. She really wasn't confident in herself.

Bradon seeming to understand her thought as she stared at herself in a sulken form, said " indeed you do look average. Which is a little suspicious as none of us from wisteria have the average looks as the humans. I think your parent hid it from you. I'm not sure why because everyone one of us should be enlighten as a holder of the hope of wateria. Or it might be the fact you haven't fully unlocked your powers yet. Though sign of your true self is showing"

"What do you mean sign of my true self is showing" they all just stared at her confused " so you're trying to say, you haven't notice the changes occurring on you " they asked a little dumbfounded "which changes?" Selena asked, genuinely confused now. She really hasn't check her appearance since the day of the attack. how does she look different .

Zera featured for Fiona to bring something, and as soon as Fiona brought it, Selena realized it was a mirror and she sheepishly handed if to Selena a little nervous of her reaction once she discovered what they meant by her change. Selena stared at the mirror in her hands, it has a nice carving with the glimmered of the metal-like surface. Its decoration and carving were indeed eye caching but Selena was not st all focused on any of that as she stared at her reflection in undisguised shock. The changes were not drastic but there weren't there to begin with " her features are gradually becoming bold and in perfect porportion, even her lops were like red cherry that was dipped in gloss, looking so soft and succulent and a little irresistible. It was like a seductress. But what grabbed her attention the most was her hair . some parts of her hair was silvery white. From an ignorant person point if view it might look like she coloured her hair at the saloon, like the ways those teenage girls colours dome stops if hair in colourful colours, just that hers were more mature as they fitted her perfectly, though one could notice it wasn't her real hair colour. But what they wouldn't er know is the fact that that was indeed her original hair colour.

" your features are indeed showing and slowly changing to how it originally was. I'm impressed by their ability to hide this from you and you had no clue about it. Pretty shocking if I might say"

Selena was just staring dumfounded at her self. It felt like her whole life was a lie. How much was really the truth. She really didn't know anymore. So this was the reason she was getting stared at by her neighbours and even got complimented by the Lady behind the desk. She really wasn't used to the attention bit it felt a little nice to be looked at differently for a change. But thinking that it was because of her looks still made her angry. Some people can be shallow. Judging s book by it cover all the time. No all that is good outside that is also good inside. Everything that glitters is not gold. But his many will really change. Sigh,this mentality was sad. Its not like anyone could have chosen how they were born like. They couldn't choose their looks. And some of those that have slightly better feature get arrogant.

" I think you will need some time for your features to develops well".

Selena finally snapped out if her thoughts. She was still a little speechless. She looked up at them and asked " so what now "

"Well you can decide to stay and help look for the fragment pieces. That our mission once we get the fragment we would be able to get back out Queen and wisteria would be saved" he had a ting of joy and hope as he spoke .

Selena was I'm deep thought for a while she finally raised her head and look at all the people in the room and then she smiled and said "count me in". You could see joy on some faces and relief in others.

Selena did not make this decision rashly, she thought about it. She was indeed kept in the dark for so long. She wanted to find some answers and this was a good place to start searching for them.

As the joyous once were celebrating Selena suddenly remember something and she asked " wait....if I am indeed like you all, how am I connected to wasteria and what about you" seeing that she's indeed clueless zera came up to say " your mother"
