4 Where It All Started

30 October 2050

As soon as we reached there, we were taken to HAGA SOPHIA. It was a monument that was nearly destroyed. When we entered there, ELEANA at once came and hugged ALYLAH and kissed her on the forehead.

"Are you Aunt ELEANA whom my mom used to talk about?"

"Yes, dear. I'm your mom's sister, your aunt ELEANA."

"What's going on? ALYLAH, how do you even know this lady?"

"Mom told me about her in the letter."

"AM I the only one here who doesn't know anything about all this. I mean like the world is about to end and I don't know anything about all this stuff. And out of nowhere my daughter is about to save the world."

"Calm down", said ELEANA, "Let ALYLAH take some rest. She has a tiring week ahead. I'll tell you all the things you want to know."

"Okay, let's go. Now tell me what's going on?"

"It all started in the 2nd AD in Jerusalem. Before 2nd AD there were no sadness, anger, jealousy, vengeance. People lived in peace. Jerusalem was then the center of the whole world. Jerusalem was under the rule of a benevolent king. He treated his pupils such nicely that no king had ever done that. But one day one of the soldiers in order to grasp the power in line to his conspiracy killed the king's son and wife who was pregnant. The king couldn't bear the pain and his heart broke. He cursed that in every 500 year a wrath would come which will take the world down to ashes. And he started to oppress his pupils. At that hard time, a girl from our bloodline had been born whose mother died during her birth. It was thought as a PHOENIX. It was thought that the baby girl was blessed by her mother who took away all the agony of her mother and came as a hope of happiness for others. The baby girl was loved by all in the city. She was special. Whomever she touched his or her pain would go away forever and they would be happy for the rest of their life. One day the king came across her. While the baby girl was playing, she happened to stumble on the king. As soon as the girl touched the king, it seemed like a darkness of vengeance and sadness dispersed in the air and the king became normal as if nothing had happened. The king became happy as he was before and started to live peacefully. But his curse remained. And as the prophecy stands after every 500 year such wrath would come and a baby girl would save the world. But this time it's different. It's the biggest disaster that has ever come and your daughter is the most powerful among them all. Some of the legends say that the curse would end this time. Julia told that she learned the way to end this curse for good but she died even before she could tell. But now our main focus is to stop the world from being destroyed. So, we need to take ALYLAH to KHAJA RASHID before he destroys the whole world." (I sighed)

"Okay then let's go there tomorrow. WHERE does he live?"

"He lives in a well protected fortress. We are going to sneak in there at night while he is sleeping."

"Ok then I need to rest now. See you tomorrow." I went past the door of the room and suddenly I remembered that I forgot my bag inside. So, I went in again. Just before I entered the room, I heard one of the ELEANA's associates saying, "Why didn't you tell him the whole thing? That the baby girl died and then her father started to seek vengeance for their daughter's death. AND the peace was never established though the earth was saved from destruction."
