614. Winter’s Embrace
Braving the icy winds which would have frozen any other human, Xander pushed forward, trudging through the knee-high snow.Neither the keen sting of the numbing cold air nor the snow dragging him down was enough to hold him back.“I am coming for you. The people of Zarturia deserve justice!”Fighting his way through the blizzard, Xander pressed on, driven by an insatiable desire for revenge.It was vengeance burning in his heart, fueling him to forget everything around him.The nameless one watched from the blurry whiteness, hoping to see Xander perish in the snowstorm, but instead, the boy from Zarturia burned like an undying flame, cutting through the snowy landscape with mad determination.“The royal blood runs warm through your veins. But this isn’t Zarturia, my Prince. This is the realm of eternal winter. The domain of death and decay!”“I have already died once. I am not afraid of climbing my way out of the grave a second time!” Xander rasped, gritting his teeth. “If you’re real
613. The Flipside
Leaving their familiar world behind, Xander and Priscilla stepped under the archway and entered the smoky rift.The next steps that they took sent them flying across a space of nebulous nothingness, blurring everything around them.Red lightning crackled around them as the winds wailed in their faces.They fell through the interdimensional crack and were sucked into the parallel plane on the other side.After a hellish fall that seemed to have lasted several hours, Xander and Priscilla crashed into a field of red dandelions.Xander was the first to get up and reach for his sister.“Priscilla, are you alright? Give me your hand.”Priscilla pulled herself up, grabbing onto her brother’s hand.“I am fine. Just can’t stop my heart from racing.”As she looked around, however, the sea of red flowers took her breath away.Above them, stretched a fiery red sky with two scarlet moons staring at the land below.“What kind of place is this?” Priscilla asked, her voice shaky and her hands sweaty
612. Doorway of Doom
Xander and Priscilla followed the markings on the wall, and the golden crosses carved into the pillars guided them to the back door, which led to a narrow garden path flanked by shriveled hedges.The chapel stood on the other side, overgrown with dark red vines and cobwebs.As soon as Xander set foot upon the marble steps, his whole body shuddered, and he felt a powerful vibration run down his spine.Even Priscilla felt a tremor within as she sensed a strange energy coming from inside the chapel.Xander pushed the old wooden doors open and stepped inside, taking measured and cautious steps.The chapel had been abandoned almost 20 years ago, but there was still the scent of incense in the air, and the golden cross stood at the far end, untouched by the damage and decay around it.“This is it, sister. The end of the road,” Xander remarked as he walked up to the granite altar and pulled the vines away. “You can still turn back if you want. Ashari will bring the chopper back and pick you
611. Blood and Soul
“Did you hear that?” Xander asked, his gaze fixated on the gilded door of the throne room up ahead.“I sure did,” Priscilla replied, her voice feeble and her nerves shaky. “But I thought everyone in Zarturia had been killed decades ago. How could anyone have survived a sinking city?”“I don’t think anyone survived except us,” Xander replied in a shallow breath, heading toward the throne room.Priscilla followed in his footsteps like a shadow, and together, the siblings pushed the gilded doors open, parting a path down the middle.As Xander and Priscilla set foot inside the throne room, the chandeliers dimmed and turned from soothing white to cold blue.The ornamental lanterns mounted on the walls blazed into life, lighting up with eerie green flames that flickered and danced in perfect sync.Xander felt a cold shudder run down his spine as he walked up the path, stepping lightly on the dusty brown carpet.There on the steps leading to the throne, he spotted a feminine figure clothed i
610. The Ruins Of Zarturia
The blood moon dawned over the parting gray clouds, bathing the Sea of Argos in red as night descended upon the sparkling waters below the chopper.Xander looked out of the window and saw a submerged landmass slowly emerging from the depths of the sea.The ruins of Zarturia resurfaced like a forgotten legacy as the waters receded and the moon glowed brighter.Ashari carefully lowered the chopper onto dry land, setting it down near an open pavilion overlooking the ruined kingdom.Xander was expecting a washed-up carcass of crumbling concrete, covered in moss and seaweed, but despite having been underwater for several decades, Zarturia looked surprisingly whole.Even though the buildings had grown old and dusty, they hadn’t collapsed under the weight of time.Watch towers stood tall, still staring at the distant corners, while the several hospitals, schools, and libraries were covered in vines.“Prince Xander and Princess Priscilla, I welcome you to Zarturia. This is the land of your fo
609. Down the Memory Corridor
Time seemed to collapse into an eternal now as Xander froze where he stood, staring motionlessly at the brown-bearded man in the white lab coat whom he had once called ‘father’.“It’s only 6 in the morning,” Allister Payne said, glancing at his smartwatch. “You’ve never woken up so early. Is everything alright, son?”“How is this possible?” Xander uttered his thoughts out loud. “Who are you? Am I dreaming?”The very next second, Xander felt a tingling sensation in his body as a little specter ran straight through him.“What the—”He was jolted back to life as he saw that the boy was no one else but a younger version of him.“I want to go outside. I am bored in this lab,” the young Xander argued with Allister Payne. “You promised you’d take me to the surface and let me play on the beach. When are we going out there?”Allister Payne bent down and hugged the young Xander.“We will, very soon. We just need to run a few more tests on you and your sister.”The young Xander looked up at his
