Meteor City***
“Father, why is it that your illness keep getting worse?, Why aren’t you standing up?, Why are you just lying there without moving” Prince Eleven said sadly as tears rolled down his face, he held his father’s hand gently
Emperor Jin smiled sadly as pains radiated throu-gh his whole b©dy
“Eleven, you know I don’t like seeing you sad, just be rest as-sured that one day, I’ll be ok, I’ll be strong enough to be the ruler of Meteor again” he said, his wrinkled and pale face exuding a lot of sadness
” When will that day come father? , Will it be when mum kills everyone in this city?, Father she’s just too too wicked, so wicked that I wonder if she’s my mum, if she continues being the empress, Meteor City will end up in shatters” Eleven said, wiping his tears
“what can I do?, It’s the rule here that if the emperor is sick, his wife should take over as the empress pending the time he’ll be ok, that’s the reason why the situation is ti-ght”
” Even when she hasn’t become empress, she’s just as wicked, I’m sure that’s why Novato left and hasn’t been found till now, and the most baffling thing is that Lillie is following her footsteps, she’s worse” Eleven said sadly
” No matter what, just keep being good, you’re the savior of Meteor in the future, you can’t lose yourself” emperor Jin said as a maid c@mÂŁ in with his tea
” I’ll feed him, you can go” Eleven said
The maid bowed before taking her leave
She go to the empress chamber and bowed
Empress heaved satisfactorily
“Call the other guards and prepare the execution of Jung” she ordered the guards in the palace
” Yes your highness” they bowed and took their leave
“So I get to watch another execution today, this palace is the most fun filled palace in the world, shall we go mother?” Princess Lillie said, entering the palace
Empress Aurora smiled
“Glad to have a daughter like you Lillie, let’s go give the eyes some food” she said and left the palace with Lillie, walking side by side
They got to the execution ground and Jung has alre-ady been tied to a stake, re-ady to be beheaded
Guards and numerous people from the city are gathered to watch the empress do what she does best
Empress took her sit and Lillie sat beside her
“Jung, you stole ten pieces of silver, and according to Meteor tradition, anyone who steals shall be beheaded no matter what you steal, do you have any word to say?” The chief guard asked
Jung is alre-ady almost lifeless on the stake he’s placed on, he has been beaten like something else and he has only a slice of life left in him
“I…I…I..I..plead for mercy…I only did that because….I’m a poor…farmer, my..crops got washed away by last week’s heavy rain….I’m so sorry, pardon me this once… I’ll never do it again” Jung replied lifelessly
“shut up!, Thief!, Here in Meteor, there’s no mercy for thieves, so you’re not allowed to talk again” Lillie said without pity
Empress Aurora stood up and the emotionless sword was handed over to her
She took it and walked to where Jung was placed
She re-moved the sword from its sheath and smiled wickedly
The people g@sped, it won’t be the first time to witness such horrible scene but it’s always horrific…
Prince Eleven appeared just when Aurora raised her sword
His eyes c@mÂŁ wi-de…
He swung into action by pu-lling out his own sword, he threw it right at Aurora’s sword, it hit it and the sword fell off Aurora’s hand, it flew in the air and landed right in front of Lillie
“Oh my!” Lillie exclaimed
Empress Aurora stared at Eleven in shock
“How dare you!” She ranted angrily
“Mother, aren’t you tired of shedding blood?, The curse on you, isn’t it enough?, Jung only stole ten pieces of silver from the riche-st man in the city and the man isn’t even complaining but you want to kill Jung, I’m not supporting stealing but empress, he’s in a very pitiful condition which pushed him to do that, can’t you just consider that?” He replied, standing in front of Jung
” I don’t think you’re in any place to order me about what to do, I’m empress Aurora, the most powerful empress in the world, empress of the Star, move”empress said
” If you’ll kill Jung, then kill me first” Eleven said seriously, not moving
” Are you crazy?” Empress said
“Yes I am, I’m going crazy with everything that’s happening in this city!, Your killings are too much!” Eleven ranted
Empress Aurora smiled
” I think you’re about to get a shocker” she said, still smiling
Jung’s scream of agony took over the whole place
Eleven looked back, Lillie stabbe-d Jung alre-ady with the sword
The people g@sped and some covered their faces
“I made it easy, he’s supposed to be beheaded but I only stabbe-d him, I’m kind aren’t I?” Lillie said, smiling satisfactorily
Tears c@mÂŁ out of Eleven’s eyes as he watched Jung’s b©dy on the floor with his blood flowing like a river
“Leave his corpse out here for three days, no one must bury him before three days, his corpse should rot first and the vultures should take his two eyes too” empress Aurora said
” Don’t be too sad brother, have some fun will you?” Lillie said, going in with her mum
Eleven fell on his knees as the people dispersed….
Eragon c@mÂŁ running , he st©pped on his tracks beside Eleven when he saw Jung’s b©dy
Eragon is Eleven’s protector
“Oh no, the poor farmer has been killed” he said sadly
” Get the horse re-ady and let’s get away from here, this palace is suffocating” Eleven ordered
” Yes master”

Earth, EXO college***
The history teacher left the clas-s after an hour of teaching and the students dispersed, it’s the last clas-s for the day
“Don’t tell me you’re going home alre-ady, we promised to eat together after school today” Cole said to Diamond
” And if you refuse, We’ll kidnap you” Isla added and Diamond smiled
Cole and Isla are her best and only friends
Cole is a guy while Isla is a girl, actually a talkative
“I don’t want to be kidnapped, so let’s go shall we?” Diamond said
They win-ked at each other before rushing out of the school to the restaurant not far from school
They ordered something to eat and chatted along
“Mr Kumar, that history teacher, he’s just one boring man, I mean, his appearance enough is boring, not to talk of his lectures” Isla said, taking in a spoonful of ice cream
” Just say you’re lazy” Diamond said
“Oh Diamond, you’re so lucky, you’re beautiful, cool, brilliant and have a rich brother, but for me, school work plus social life equals attem-pted murder” Isla said and they all laughed
“I don’t doubt that last statement but about her brother, spare me the gist, I hear he doesn’t smile or laugh” Cole said, squee-zing his face
” Sure” Diamond said, munching on her burger
“Really?, It’s true?” Cole and Isla said at the same time
“Of course, and he hasn’t even smiled at me or laugh with me before, I’ve never seen his smiling face, the only thing I can remember about him is his frank face, but still, he’s the best brother in the world, I love him so much” Diamond said, ma-king the heart shape with her f!ngers
“How cute” Cole said, smiling at her cuteness
” It doesn’t matter, I can’t cope with a brother like that” Isla said, l!çk!ng herl-ips as ice cream t©uçhed it
“Thank you, I don’t care” Diamond said, standing up
” Where are you going to?” Cole asked
“I nee-d to use the restroom” she replied, flashed a cute smile but then, something dropped on the table, she looked at it and it turned out to be blood
Isla and Cole glanced back at her, it’s actually coming out of her nose
Diamond’s eyes bec@mÂŁ woozy and she fell unconscious
“OMG she’s at it again, damn!” Cole said as he rushed to her with Isla

Matador casino***
Different kinds of luck gamers are pla-ying and a lot of gamblers are staking money for bets on who’ll win or lose
The casino is the biggest is Seoul so you can’t possibly count how many gamblers or gamers that are presÂŁnt
Guards are in every nook and cranny of the casino, watching everyone so a fight Won’t come up
And inside the only room in the casino is the devil himself, Kingston..the owner of it
He’s drinking from his glas-s of alcohol , he never smokes
“What is the total of my shares today?” He asked the workers in front of him
“you have 500 billion alre-ady boss, plus those who are still gambling, you should have up to 800 billion today” Danny (his chief worker) replied
” You can go” he replied
Danny left with the others
His phone rang on the table, it’s Carson, his only friend..he picked
“Hey dude” he said over the phone
“Kingston the boss, watssup?” Carson replied
“Cash, so are you still coming?’
“ion think so, an emergency c@mÂŁ up at the hospital”
” Oh, ok, just say hi to Skylar”
” That psycho?, You better say it yourself” Carson replied
” You guys fought again?, fv¢k when will you guys st©p fighting everyday, no one will believe you guys are d@t!ng” Kingston said, taking a sip from the glas-s
“whatever!, We love each other like that, so about Diamond, her sickness really has no name, I’ve searched endlessly for what type of sickness it might be but no success, and tests says she’s medically ok” Carson said
” I’ve told you times without number to st©p bothering yourself” Kingston replied
“I just can’t”
” Ok Mr just can’t, see ya around,I nee-d to pick this call” he said and cut the call
He picked the call entering his second phone, it’s from Diamond
“Are you calling to nag at me again?” He said directly
“Hyung!, It’s Cole, Diamond fainted again”
He stood up
“fv¢k it, not again, where are you guys?” He asked
” On our way to Carson hospital”
” Oh cool, I’ll meet you guys there”
He hanged up and rushed out …
Ladies drooled as he walked into the hospital..
*I wonder how he still manages to be handsome despite his never smiling face*
“Gosh!, He’s too too breathtaking*
He rushed into the ward and met Carson in there with Isla and Cole alre-ady
Diamond is lying on the be-d, eyes closed
“What do I do with her” Kingston said, sighing as he sat beside her
” She’ll be fine after some hours…as usual” Carson said
” I know” Kingston replied, stro-king her hair
” Maybe he’s really cool like Diamond said” Isla whispered to Cole who only smiled…
Someone entered the ward and Immediately Kingston saw her, anger bec@mÂŁ obvious on his face
“Hazel what are you doing here?” He demanded, standing up
” I saw you entering the hospital, that’s why I decided to follow you,I know it’s Diamond again, hope she’s ok” Hazel replied, trying to move closer
She’s actually his ex, they broke up last year after a six months relationsh!p, a contract relationsh!pthough cos of something important but Hazel fell in love with him for real and even after the contract, she’s still not re-ady to let him go
Hazel is actually a singer, one of the most popular in Seoul, she sings alone…
“Well as you can see, she’s ok, so go” Kingston said
“Kingston we nee-d to talk” Hazel said
” On what?”
” Us,… Kingston I….
“I have no time to listen to you, Isla and Cole, you both have to stay with Diamond, Carson take care of her ok?, I’ll be back later,I don’t think I can stay here” he interrupted and left with Hazel rushing after him, Calling his name
“Hazel , I bet she still hasn’t gotten over him” Carson mumbled before leaving the ward
” Oh, she’s his ex” Isla said
” I heard it’s a contract relationsh!pfor six months” Cole replied
” Oh” Isla said

The thin Ray of sun sli-pped into the ancient cave for the first time in years, just to shine brightly on the face of the only inhabitant of it..
As the sun made contact with her beautiful face, she opened her eyes and studied her environment for a while before standing up
She smiled at the beautiful nature she’s surrounded with
And the first thing that caught her eyes is her Palm
IRIS is written boldly on it
“Iris?’ she said and smiled, sounds beautiful
She’s wearing a white robe and her long hair is br@ided into two which fell on her che-st
She looked around the cave and her eyes caught a mirror,she ran childishly to the front of it and marvelled at the sight of herself
“I’m pretty” she gushed, tou-ching her face
The mirror fell as a result of her clumsiness
“Oh no” she said and bent down
She t©uçhed the pieces and it wounded her hand
“Ouch!” She whimpered as her blood dropped on the broken mirror
Right in front of her as the blood t©uçhed it, the pieces of the broken mirror c@m£ together as one again, she took it happily
She looked at her wounded f!nger and surprisingly, the wound is gone, not even a trace of it is left
“Cool!” She gushed before stepping out of the cave with the mirror
The fresh breeze hit her face and she closed her eyes, allowing herself to be drowned in the beauty of it…
