CHAPTER 1

In another world, the land of the Athenians. King Lutha stood in front of a wooden framed window, the second window in the small bedroom. Words crowded his mind, filling it up with bottomless thoughts. He couldn't help but wonder when the time would come to rebirth Athenia. ' so incompetent' he berated himself yet again.

'The people must be wondering what they did in their past lives to deserve me as a king.'.

He watched his... well his once glorious castle in the distance. His brother had betrayed him all for greed." I am too weak' he continued.

No one could blame him. A king who had been imprisoned in a small house? No! He was not worthy of such a glorious title.

The door to the bedroom opened and the Queen walked in adorned in her beautiful white floral gown.

She closed the door, walked to the bed opposite the window, and sat on it. Picking up a pillow from the bed she placed it on her legs, then ran her perfectly manicured fingers through her long black hair as she leaned back on the large bed.

She looked more like a child than a Queen as she dangled her legs, watching her husband's lonely figure with her innocent eyes. She was one of those people who appeared innocent and weak but were even more dangerous and devilish than the devil.

She parted her small red lips and spoke "My dear we will soon return, the people will be saved.It would help if you stoppedp worrying" King Lutha turned to look at her when he heard her soft voice.

She was already 40 years old but because of her powers, she kept looking 18. He dragged his piercing eyes along her body from her flawless milky skin to her beautiful white dress.

It made her charming eyes sparkle brighter than ever.

His scanning eyes stopped at the chains on her feet, that were not well hidden by her gown. He let out a sigh and quickly turned his back to her, unwilling to look at anything that would remind him of his failure as a king.

The chains were magically made to block all their powers. Forcing them to live without their powers unable to fight back or escape. "it...." he was about to speak when he heard the royal horn calling out to the citizens to bring their crops and valuables to the castle. When it stopped he continued " She's already Eighteen, when do you think she will arrive?" {}

An apartment complex in a student district on Earth.

A small figure was lying on the bed by the window, she slept soundly through the loud rings from her cell phone.

If King Lutha was here he would have recognized the girl to be his daughter the only hope of the Athenians.

A loud ring sounded through the quiet and slightly dark room, yet again the girl who lay on the small bed by the window ignored it.

The phone had rang several times before but she was too lazy to get it, it was more like she knew who was calling and what they would say. The sound resonated through the room a few more times and when it stopped the girl on the bed turned and then used her pillow to cover her head.

" ARRGHHH!" she let out a scream. It was supposed to be loud but became muffled because of the pillow covering her face. She took off the pillow and once again covered her face, this time with her small hand.

- her head ached badly.

5 MINUTES LATER The girl still lay on the bed with her face covered but this time her head was no longer aching, she smiled foolishly because her silly theory worked.

She thought covering her face and laying still would make her feel better and it did.

RING RING!!!

The sound started again, the caller had not given up and would probably not stop calling.

The girl reacted moving her hand to carry the phone from the bedside table, She pursed her lips and answered the call.

" Helloo!! Phoenix don't tell me you're still sleeping at this time. I have been calling you to stop to wake you up..."

Immediately phoenix answered the call the loud nagging from the girl on the other side of the phone rushed through the room like a sharp knife ruthlessly tearing apart the quietness in the room, she scrunched her face and moved the phone from her ears.

After some time the girl on the phone finally realized Phoenix had not said anything, She coughed awkwardly and called out to her.

" Phoenix, are you okay?" she asked, quietly waiting for a response.

Phoenix let out a low laugh " Yes, did you miss me?" she smiled and asked, she was already used to her best friend's delusion.

"miss you? Of course not. Aye! why are you so calm have you seen the time? I'll be there in ten minutes better be ready or else!" Paisley threatened after remembering her actual reason for calling. She quickly ended the call to let her friend prepare for school.

Phoenix stood up and walked nimbly to the bathroom. Standing in front of the sink she turned on the tap and formed her small hands into a cup letting her palms fill up with the water, then she splashed it on her face.

With each passing day, she resembled her mother more and more.

She did that two more times till she was sure the sleep had been splashed away. Her hands felt around the sink table for her towel.

She slapped her face in frustration, remembering the black towel lying on the bed waiting for her to get it. A low 'sigh' escaped her lips, and then she turned to walk out and get it. She stood in shock watching her black towel floating mid-air a few, meters from her bed.'

"H.. how is it.." she managed to stammer out some words, her mind was a mess watching the towel drop to the floor. "Paisley, are you there? if this is one of your lame science jokes you better stop!" she puffed her cheeks and angrily looked around the room for any possible sign of her friend's presence.

"Paisley are you there?" she asked unsure of the answer. She made a bold move towards the floor, she knelt on the cold tiles and raised the towel on the floor, to see whether there was some sort of machine underneath. She shook it but nothing came out.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed and quickly covered her mouth with both hands to prevent any more noise, her chest kept rising as her breathing became more unstable. Phoenix knelt on the floor as she tried to recall what had happened." I was in the bathroom right? And I was about getting the towel... no that's not right"Shee sat quietly on the floor whispering to herself.

Looking around the room, she shuddered at the thought of what had happened. Unconsciously her eyes landed on the small black clock on the wall "Oh! no...no.... nooo it's almost 8:00" She panicked and hurriedly stood up with the towel. Just like that, the towel mishap moved to the back of her mind. The girl went back into the bathroom to bathe. Outside the apartment, a figure had managed to open the front door with a metal stick...
