CHAPTER 10: THE THUNDEROUS RESONANCE

The excruciating agony coursing through her veins compelled her to unleash a piercing scream, shattering the silence and reverberating through the air with an unprecedented intensity. This resounding cry, propelled by an unseen force, raced through the cosmos, traversing vast distances until it reached the ears of Mellisah. In an instant, she jolted awake, her senses heightened, for she recognized that the epic battle of Hastlings had commenced.

As she readied herself for the impending conflict, memories of her mother's wise words flooded her mind. She possessed the power to decide whether she would embark on a journey with Mellisando to the enigmatic planet Uranus. However, she understood that her departure could not occur without informing her mother. With determination fueling her every step, she departed from her sanctuary and ventured into her mother's chamber.

Upon entering, she gently whispered, "Mommy, awaken." Her mother stirred, lifting her head from the comfort of her pillow. Concern etched across her face, she inquired, "What troubles you, my dear? Why have you roused me from slumber in the depths of night? Have you encountered misfortune or been plagued by a haunting dream?" she concluded.Indeed, the recollections of her sojourn on Uranus and the myriad occurrences that transpired during that time had slipped from her grasp, for the ravages of time had taken their toll and she had resided on Earth for countless decades. Consequently, her mother yearned for a lucid elucidation, demanding answers to this enigma. However, Mellisah, burdened by the imminent threat of her own mortality, found herself bereft of the luxury of time to indulge her mother's curiosity.

Mellisah proceeded to explain the dire situation, revealing that Mellisando was ensnared in the vast expanse of space, besieged by enigmatic creatures. A shock rippled through her mother's being, grappling with the notion that her child possessed the ability to aid someone trapped amidst the stars, surrounded by monstrous entities. Since Mellisah's birth, her mother had been oblivious to the dormant powers that lay within her, capable of conquering any obstacle and rescuing those in distress. She only recalled the time when the ancient Earth king sought to snatch her child away, a testament to Mellisah's extraordinary potential.
