Seven stones of creation

The key for the lock of the book was a neck chain of Orzala, close to her heart, as it was a last gift by her mother.

Unlocking the book, turning the pages one by one was a shocking thing. A book with blank pages not even a drop of ink on it.

Frustrated Orzala tried every possible thing to reveal the letters but failed. Giving up she placed the book on a table close to a burning candle.

As she made her way to the near window candle fell as the result of her frustrated movements. Soon she felt the smell of burning papers, turning around she found the book of secrets lit on fire.

Orzala hurriedly pour a glass of water on book trying to calm down flames. The very next thing happened was a miracle or breaking of a curse.

The book was under the spell of invincibility to keep it safe from the misuse. The fire broke the spell organising the letters back to their relevant position.

Scrolling through the contents quickly she found a chapter illustrated with the origin and powers of Seven stones of creation.

"Gaia, The Earth stone

Vatra, The fire stone

Aya, The wind stone

Ura, The water stone

Efir, The ether stone

Cahaya, The light stone

Vesmirny, The cosmic stone

Possess the power similar to their names. These seven stones together called 'Rattan' were created out of the tears of God of creation.

In contrary to this 'Blood stone' was created out of the anger of God of death. This stone alone holds the power of all the seven stones of creation.

Seven stones of creation controlled by their protectors in a certain manner can overcome the destructive power of Blood stone.

Protectors are the chosen masters born with the star sign of their power stone imprinted on their wrist."

This is when she realised, the identity, the truth her mother was talking about. She was a chosen protector.

But surprisingly, she had no idea of the power she holds neither than nor now.

She cursed herself for underestimating own self, blaming her parents for her situation and choosing a wrong path instead of discovering her inherent ability.

As we all know it is not easy to overcome one's habits. She had the best possible.

Stealing…. That's what she thought of when she realized her true identity.

She doesn't seem to be on the ground. A moment ago her thinking was limited to robbing her neighbour's food, some Ginnis from stranger at extreme one or two dangerous weapons.

But now table has turned. Having the power of protector, her will is more affirmed of the probabilities of her locating the 'seven stones of creation'.

In the middle of this greedy ambitions, she forgot two important points. One there are six more protectors alive on this planet. Second, even after knowing her ability her power remains nill. She has no control of her power.

So she came to a conclusion, to find the stones she has to find all the remaining protectors. Only finding them can help in locating stones.

Recently she heard Serpent Queen and Mekhala talk about the stones. Hence, the current target of her scheme were them.

She thought to herself, "Since Serpent Queen ordered me to be a slave, getting close to her would be a piece of cake"

Stupid woman.. who will tell her that they are ten steps ahead of her. Before she could even think of her identity, they knew her inherent powers.

For an instance if we believe she cleared all the hurdles, the one hurdle that she will never be able of defeating alone is Kalhar the Demon Lord who is thirsty for the blood of protectors.

After few minutes of immersive thinking she turned the page to notice a torn page.

May be what she read was just a half of the truth and half-truth can be lethal.

The concept of protector and stone was spinning all around the brain of Orzala. The next morning, she made a visit to Serpent Queen and Mekhala.

As her steps moved forward in the corridor, clanging sound of the metal ringed the ear. Walking towards the sound, she witnessed a fierce fight between Mekhala and Serpent Queen.

Taking the advantage of the situation, Orzala examined all the chamber that belongs to Serpent Queen. A room filled with jars of snake poison, a room of weapons and last a room exploding with living snakes.

Scared of the haphazardly moving snakes Orzala screamed so loud that made everyone in the premises alert.

Finding no one all presumed their works.

But Orzala gained a scroll of paper, which was protected by numerous snakes. Considering the level of guard in the chamber, this sheet of paper must be something precious.

Uncoiling the scroll presented a road map with certain markings leading to a symbol similar to the one representing protector.

A guard finding out, the scroll missing informed Serpent Queen. Examining the chamber, it was confirmed that Orzala was the thief.

Serpent Queen was glad that Orzala was the one to steal. However, it was meant for her.
