CHAPTER 52

  Zenith's Point Of View

  I woke up with nothing on the ship we had been on. I remember that lightning strikes me and boom, I suddenly lost consciousness then after that I was here in a dark place. Is this the Bermuda Triangle?

  I stood up and looked around the whole place. The fog was so thick that I could see nothing but black smoke.

  I saw shadows from there, lots of shadows. Are they Vior? No, that's not them. My guess is different from what I see.

  "Our Princess … Welcome home, Nithialyne …" I heard them greet.

  Nithialyne? But that is my mother …

  "Who are you?" I asked in the fog because they were still there and not leaving.

  "We are your family, Nithialyne. The King is longing to see you. He will be happy to see her

  daughter again …" they replied.

  What? Family? King? Daughter?

  Don't fucking tell me that my mother lives here in this cursed place so Grandpa hates what is in here.

  Nithialyne … my mother, that's her name.

  I don't look like her, do I? So, why do they call me her name?

  I wanted to know everything but something was holding me back. I saw a hand coming out of the dew.

  "Come, Princess Nithialyne …" it said calmly.

  I would have accepted it's offer when I heard a voice.

  "Zenith!" that's Vior …

  He was looking for me. When I looked back at the hand it was gone.

  A clue to my persona.

  Queen Genesis' Point Of View

  It's been two days since Zenith left Warrior's Academy. What are they doing now? I wonder if they can finished the mission well.

  I rotated my chair to face Palm. "What do you think? Will they be able to return here completely after their mission?" I will ask.

  I also think that will be Zenith's reaction when she discovered that Nithialyne, which was her mother, came from the Bermuda Triangle itself. Unfortunately … that's all we know about her mother other than that she married Zhang but aside from it there is nothing else.

  I remembered that time, when Nithialyne first came to our school looking like a stray cat, she was really very smart with everyone back then but that didn't last long. She turns to be the cold and mean less person who exists.

  "I'm sure they'll be back completely as one piece. Their generation is far too good from our expectation, Queen Genesis," she replied truthfully.

  It’s nice that their group formed with the twelve and it will be even better if they all get along. That's important when you're in a group, cooperation.

  I took the hidden picture under my desk. It was my best memory before when I was not the leader and I was just a humble student.

  Whenever I think of Vior's company, I see in them the generation we used to have. Zhang is the leader while Nithialyne was his apprentice. I was only third and Alessia and Mathias followed. I hope I can be with them all again even if it's so impossible.

  "Memories brings back …" I said while looking at the photo I was holding with my friends.

  Palm stood up slightly to see that. "You're too young there, Queen Genesis. Your group used to be known as the best warriors."

  Remembering those times made me smile. A very beautiful memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

  "If I just give them back? I will try every hour then I will find a way to make them still alive. I will still choose them …" I said.

  I will always choose them aside from anything in this world.

  We were both stunned when my phone rang. I took that and answered.

  "Hello?"

  "Queen Genesis …" it was Manuever's voice.

  "How are you? What happened and why did you call?" I will ask.

  It took a while before he could answer. "There's just a little problem, Dear Queen. We're coming back, we'll just tell you there. Please also tell Reme to meet us personally."

  "Why, what happened?" I'm starting to worry.

  "It's hard to explain, Queen Genesis. I can't eat ... I can't—" The other sesame was cut up and then it died.

  Something bad happened. I can’t say which of them is in critical condition. I looked at Palm. "They're coming back …" that's all I said, I saw her face light up because of that.

  "That's good. Shall I prepare a happy welcome for them?"

  I shook. "Don't do that first. Something came up and it's better no other warriors know about it." "Is there something wrong, Queen Genesis?" she asked in a very worried tone.

  "Hmm. Please call Reme to join us to greet their arrival," I replied then returned the photo to its previous hiding place.

  I hope what happened wasn't too bad. I can’t forgive myself when someone takes their lives just because of that mission.

  God. You know I have no evil intentions and I do not want to harm them. This is all about the mission but half of it is for Zenith. She deserves to know something about herself.
