Two people lost in their own minds. When Autumn's friend adds her to a group chat on instachatting, she meets other people and the one that leads her to this boy who she falls in love with. But his mother doesn't like her.

A long time ago, in a time before time, the eight fabled words existed within the primordial realms.

Travel. Contract. Magic. Adorable kids. Desert. Detective. Designer. Prom.

Our universe today stems from these eight words, known as the Octennial Texts! 

This is a magical story about Veol Bwen, a young girl with a bizarre beginning as she journeys to become a Contracter.

(This is a very short (perhaps longer if I feel like it) story for Writing Contest 57; simply for fun and as an attempt to stretch my writing muscles . . .)

And yes, adorable kids is one word.

Zhao Youyue felt that her experiences in the literary world and the Source World had changed her, even more than she could ever imagine. This suggested that we are far more than our bodies -- that our true selves are our souls. Her various escapades had given her several lifetimes of experiences. Look at Xu Jing and the girl she loved. Look at Chu Luoxun and Lin Meiyue, look at that lovely couple, Olivia and Cirilla...
All these experiences had undoubtedly affected Zhao Youyue's expectations of a partner. Furthermore, there was no man outstanding enough that Lady Zhao's heart could be moved. It was such a pity. A male character like that could only be found in the literary world.
Girls were often so picky, because they have seen too many female-oriented works. It did not matter if it was a novel, manga, or a television series. The male characters inside would cause girls to drool over them. They must have hoped that they could find a guy comparable to the guys in the literary world. Of course, in the end, they could only make do. After all, tradition was unyielding and relentless. Those who could stay single forever must either have solid financial standing or exceptionally talented...
When it came to standards, Zhao Youyue's shot past the top of the list. She was completely entitled for that. The fatal blow struck at how real-life people fell in love with the perfect creations of fiction. How could real life ever compare?
It was unacceptable for a girl to pursue physical pleasure alone. It was low, and cheap. Zhao Youyue despised girls who wanted nothing but sex. They did not understand finding their perfect match would be the best thing in the world. Their bodies would naturally close in with time.
As picky as Zhao Youyue was, Su Li was well within her bullseye mark. Su Li was responsive and receptive, Zhao Youyue liked her wholeheartedly. Of course, she had to be equally responsive. If not, how would she show that she understood Su Li's feelings?
At the same time, she had to admit that Su Li's gender was a plus point for her. Zhao Youyue was a girl, but her spirit was gender-neutral. She had the spiritual strength of a man, and their lust for power. She also preferred being the dominant one in a partnership. The only thing was how she was deceptively skilled at 'retreating in order to advance.'
It was impossible for a man to control a girl like Zhao Youyue. If she one day became a man, such a thing might be possible. If not, she would always be so standoffish against men. She would never lose any ground against them.
On the contrary, many men before Zhao Youyue would appear humble and gentlemanly. Meetings would start off with self-confidence. Maybe they had powerful families, maybe they were talented, or maybe they were truly handsome. They were used to living lives with girls chasing after their tails. However, all of that meant nothing to a girl like Zhao Youyue.
Sometimes, Zhao Youyue would generously hand out her Wechat account. Others, she wanted to see how men would flirt. In the end, she would only uncover a conceited, self-inflated ego. If they thought that their flirting game was up, oh how outmatched and outclassed they were before her!
Some men seemed to have believed in the saying "Where there is a will, there is a way." Therefore, they would persist in texting the girls every day. Good morning and goodnight texts, texts asking about their wellbeing, texts hoping that Lady Zhao would drink more warm water. Was warm water some magical, cure-it-all miracle medicine? Some men would even write long paragraphs of confession texts. In fact, some of them would be well-written, and rich with culture. Zhao Youyue loved screenshotting the texts and sending them to Han Leng, the love master, and have him evaluate them...
Of course, Han Leng could not help but laugh at these texts. However, after he was done laughing, he would feel a little sympathy for these people who were in similar situations. If he were the one to confess to Lady Zhao, he might have even done the same.
After all, even if those men added Lady Zhao's Wechat account, they could only look at the interesting Wechat Moments of the daily life of a God of Tycoons. You want to date Lady Zhao? Do you have the qualifications to do so? Is she close to you? Don't you know that the line of suitors wanting to date Lady Zhao could bridge the gap between the cafeteria and the school gate?
Lady Zhao was not even sure how many 'fair-weather friends' [1] she had. In other words, she would never be outside on her own. Beautiful chicks were always surrounding her... Even if Lady Zhao made more 'fair-weather friends,' they would just be as beautiful.
Anyway, beauty aside, Lady Zhao would still be the one in command. They were just there to add on to her beauty with their contrastive differences.
If even they couldn't get Lady Zhao, how were those guys who were self-proclaimed to be chick magnets going to get her heart?
However, if one looked back at all the sweet texts on Wechat, it was all just 'awkward talk.' Some chick magnets who were unsatisfied with the outcome seemed to have developed PTSD. The more they tried to pick her up, the deeper they fell. It made it seem as if they really loved Lady Zhao. That was a tragedy. They had taken a fancy over someone who would not even glance in her direction.
To get Lady Zhao's attention, you probably had to create something iconic. Everyone knew that Lady Zhao had a soft spot for creators.
Lady Zhao's master-level French kiss had left Su Li lightheaded. Her entire face was hot, her entire body was boiling up. It was weird, but she did not hate it. Her body was experiencing something mindblowing. She felt that she must have loved the feeling of being kissed by someone she loved. The coup de grace came down with how Lady Zhao caressed her head. This was, far too much!
Zhao Youyue only left Su Li's lips when she ran out of breath. Then she gave a self-satisfied smirk and looked at the goddess mangaka Su Li, who was so vulnerably trembling. In her angel voice, Lady Zhao said, "Sister Li, are you happy?"
The Lady Zhao, at that moment, was so familiar, yet unfamiliar to Su Li. This Lady was highly experienced in bed. She never expected Lady Zhao to be this good, even if she had never been in a relationship before. This was the work of the devil! This was the mother of all traps. There was no escape!
Su Li managed a nod. Zhao Youyue leaned over and planted a smooth kiss on Su Li's smooth neck. On her neck was the scent of top-quality lotion…
Again, Su Li discovered something new. It was the pleasure of being kissed on the neck by someone she loved. It was even better than being kissed on the lips!
Where did Lady Zhao even pull this out from!?
Translation note:
[1] "Fair-weather friend" (酒肉朋友) is a person whose friendship cannot be relied on in times of difficulty.


An introverted girl has had enough of the isolation inadvertently formed by her solitary nature. Things changed when she discovers that she has the ability to transverse across the fabric of our universe into the dimensions of multiple storylines. Not only do these storylines leave her with invaluable lessons - they also impart a portion of their power - if she is deserving of it. The time has come for Zhao Youyue to change her fate. Never again, will she remain as a Side-Character!

I'm in the plane and I listen to music. At the time, Finn is in a different airline than us. I start to fall asleep but wake up to a text from Finn. It's currently 11:28 so I'm surprised he's still awake. "Still awake?" He texts. "Yea, I almost fell asleep." I reply. "Sorry for the bother. Just wanted to check up on you." He texts. I blush a bit and burry myself in my sweater. "Haha, well we have to wait til morning to see each other" I reply. "Especially since it's in Hawaii." He texts. "I'm gonna head to sleep now" I reply. "Can't wait to walk along the beach with you <3 Sleep Tight" He texts. I smile and fall asleep to a love song.

I wake up to Sherry shaking me. "Come on, let's go." She says as everyone getting off of the plane. We walk to breakfast as it it currently 11:44. I walk and see Finn. "Finn!" I call. We run towards each other and hug. "I'm so glad to see you but I need to go with the team now." He says. He kisses my cheek and goes away.

We are now at the hotel lobby and we all have a girl talk. "Ladies I have bad news." Coach Dianne says.  "What is it?" I ask. "We all have to share one room." Coach Dianne says. "Oh we're fine with that" I say. They all agree.

It's later and I wander the halls. I look back as I walk forward and turn back around but bump into someone. I fall back and see Finn. "I'm so sorry... Lily?" He says. "Oh, hey Finn!" I say. "Why are you in the halls all alone?" He asks. "They had a mistake for the rooms so we all have to share one. Sherry and Belle are fighting so I had to escape..." I say. "You can stay with me tonight." He says. "I'd love to but I don't think it would be fair" I say. "Just tonight? " He asks. "Why not" I say. "Great" He says as he smiles at me. "I'm going to check with the girls. Text me the room and I'll be there" I say.

I check on the girls and everyone is so far asleep. I smile and check my phone and see the room number. I make my way there and I see Finn. "Hey, Finn" I say. "Lily, Sorry... I forgot to say I only have one bed." I say. "It's better thank sharing a bed with five people." I say. "You... Are so beautiful." He says. I close the door and sit on a chair. "How does your team... accept me?" I ask. "It's hard to explain." He says. "I just want you to know, I'm not dating you so I can get the inside scoop. I actually love you... I-I mean..." I say. "I love you too." He says. We come closer and kiss. "I need to change." I say. "Go ahead." He says.

I go in the bathroom and change. I get out and we go to bed. "Still awake?" I ask. He starts snoring sarcastically. "Come on" I say as I laugh and hit him lightly. "Sorry sorry." He says laughing. "Whoever wins, I want you to promise me it won't change a thing about whatever's going on right now." I say. "I promise you." He says. He grabs me and pulls me closer. I start to sleep in comfort cause of his existence.

Lily Madison is in a dance group. She goes to a cafe and meets Finn Hall. Finn Hall turns out to be on the opposite dance team but still fall for each other.

At the end of 6th grade the girl was told that she needed to go to summer school the girl was so scared and not to mention she was shy, though she had never been in summer school but for some reason she was excited and scared at the same time. The day of summer school the girl walked in a room and saw 2 familiar faces. She talked to one of them it was a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes this girl's name was Jazzy. The girl talked to Jazzy as she looked at all the people in the class. The girl had noticed that there wasn't a lot of people in the class, mostly boys. *the bell rings the girl walks to her second period and meets a boy named Ibrahim while she walks in the class she instantly like him and he like her to but then they sit in there seats* the girl constantly looks at Ibrahim but doesn't say anything "I wonder who he is" she says in her head. *after awhile the girl gets comfortable but at the end of the day she asked Ibrahim for his Snapchat* " OMG!! I got his snap!!!" The girl says in her head as she gets driven home by her grandpa. The girl texted Ibrahim  "hey brother-in-law". (she gave him and this other boy a nickname cause they look alike) the Ibrahim texts back "your annoying but I have to ask u something". The girl was also on the phone with her best friend "rrionna what should I do!!" She says. " are u dumb ask him what" rrionna says. The girl texts "what?" As she waits for an answer. The Ibrahim  texts "do u want to go out with me". I girl was shocked " Rrionna what should I say!!!" She asked. "Say yes" Rrionna replied. The girl texts "yes" but then thought she sounded desperate so then she texted "yeah". The girl was so happy that day and they continued dating for the whole summer school but the the girls dad found out and she instantly blocked Ibrahim.

Well, here I am. A little behind on the timeline but here is how I experienced all of that. As you told, I was back, that moment we first saw each other again was still in my head for a while. Back at school I was in a new class, I knew no one in that class. There were two popular girls, one girl who did her own thing, the gamer guys, the class nerd, the class clown and his best friend, the artsy girl and the girl who was really nice but really shy. 
I was behind on work because of the mid year transfer, and making new friends felt really hard. Ella at least hung with me in the breaks, you hung with your group of friends like we used to, but with the girl you were currently dating. The shy girl was the first I connected with, we found out we loved the same bands and her name was Shiva and she made me feel welcome for the first time since I was back. My other friends were limited, as I became sicker and sicker most of the girls assumed I was doing it for attention since I didn't have any diagnose for what I have. 
My other friends became the gamer guys, Evan also treated me kindly. We hung with his friends and another girl called Ivy in the breaks. between school and being back in the city I also had to balance my hospital visits and modelling career. When I got my diagnosis of crohns disease I was crushed, but at least I knew what was wrong with me, modelling went great and being near you yet seeing you with this new girl made it easier for me to move on and see your life moved on past me when I left. Maybe that's why I did what I did when one day your girlfriend walked up to me. I had nothing against her, I understood why she fell for you because it was the same reason I still wasn't over you if I were honest with myself. 
Hey Aurora, hold up, she walked up to me when I was about to walk to the subway t go home and I waited for her. hey, what's up, I asked her. She wanted to talk to me about you, I didn't tell her that you texted me three times a day to call you but she did apparently pick up something was up because she wanted to know if I had some advice for her about you. He just seemed off, you know? Honestly, he and I have no hard feelings but we don't really talk or something, if you want to I could casually ask about how things are if we do talk, I offered. At first she was hesitant, she didn't want me to spoil it came from her and so I called you one day.
One day I got another one of your texts and called you. You pretended to be bored, not getting why I would call despite your many texts and I tried to just casually talk. You did to me what you always did to me when I heard your voice or saw you and having melissa's doubts about you being distant in my memory I fell out and called you out, asking you why you even sent me those texts and said let's be friends when you never came up to me, never acted as a friend to me.

Once upon a time, 

a nice phrase to use to start a story. 

My once upon a time began when life already damaged me.
One day I simply woke up and decided to write it all down and here it is, the story of my life, I even make a pretty penny out of it. 

But things changed for me, the one that got away came back.

Su Yaozheng assured Han Jing that Xu Chong could be trusted to serve her without worry.
Han Jing was once again touched by the princess' effort as she never expected her to provide a guardian like Xu Chong. She could not imagine the extent of his capabilities since he was the Emperor's former private guard.
"Thank you, mother…" Han Jing did not know what else to say.
"Don't be silly! What's mine is yours," Su Yaozheng tutted. "I am more than happy to see you becoming mature. Xu Chong raised two girls since they were young, but they're not in the residence right now. I'll get someone to send them over tomorrow. You can have them by your side to protect you. You decide."
Han Jing nodded.
"Oh!" Su Yaozheng exclaimed, "Those girls will not be enough. You will need a reliable steward. Ah Long has a sister who has served me before. She was engaged when she entered the palace and I married her off when she came of age after I left the palace. She sent a letter to Ah Long, saying she was unhappy there and wished to come back to be a steward. Her husband's family despised her because she was infertile. She is smart, she only got married because she was naive, not expecting to turn out this way. I have already requested for her to be escorted here, she will be with you after all this. I'll feel more at ease knowing you have a steward with you."
Princess Yi Feng already planned these arrangements for Lady Han much earlier, but she figured to carry them out later so that Jing'er could have her freedom. She was reckless to think that no one in the capital would find trouble with Jing'er. 
She thought that Jing'er would be unhappy to have many people around her since she was ashamed of her birthmark. That was why she only had Dong Bao with her. 
Now that Jing'er was ready, she finally made the arrangements she was supposed to. Everything that happened the day before will not repeat itself.
"Mother, you are so thoughtful," Han Jing chirped. She was surprised that Su Yaozheng took care of everything. She figured that she had been planning it for a while but did not arrange it.
Han Jing envied Lady Han from the previous life to have such a considerate mother. This mother was now hers.
"Alright, Ah Long should be back soon. I have some instructions for her, so you should stay and listen," Su Yaozheng instructed as she summoned Aunt Long.
"Pass these words to Madam Li and Second Young Lady," she ordered. "I instruct them to kneel in the ancestral hall in the west while copying the Buddhist texts a hundred times. They are not allowed to get up without my permission." Su Yaozheng's tone was cold and cruel.
"Mother," Han Jing blinked in surprise. "What is this for?"
"I will not get involved in matters you wish to handle on your own, but I am punishing them by making them copy Buddhist texts for putting me in a bad mood," she said nonchalantly. "You can supervise them if you have nothing to do."
Su Yaozheng pressed on her temples. "The rocky journey wore me out. I'm going to rest."
Han Jing was speechless.
The maidservants followed Su Yaozheng hurriedly when she stood up and walked in the direction of Hanguang Court. Han Jing stood up to follow, wanting to see Han Yan copying the texts on her knees in the ancestral hall.
Right when they were stepping into Hanguang Court, a servant announced unexpectedly, "Your Highness, Master is here."
Han Jing had just remembered that she did not only have Princess Yi Feng as her mother. She also had a father, Han Siju, the official of Qing'an!


When Han Jing, a hitwoman with special abilities, transformed into the nasty and arrogant Lady Han, she used her privilege to be domineering to the max!! 
Her fiancé despised her and provoked her repeatedly so she broke off the engagement!
She then got married to her fiancé’s uncle while pregnant so she could mock her fiancé and make him call her 'aunt'!
Since she died in her lifetime because she fell into someone’s trap, she would allow no one to change her destiny anymore, not even god! She would destroy anyone who attempted to tear her down! She would put everyone under her heel and live according to her wishes!
However, can anyone please tell her whose baby is in her belly?!


After his meeting with the King, the Prime Minister and the Generals, Varchaswa returned to his Private Palace. He asked the servants to fetch Khyaati & Vaibhavi to his Study Room. After a few minutes the two girls arrived.
Varchaswa said, "I apologize for inviting you two ladies this late in the evening, however, given the fact that you are my sworn apprentices bound by oath of loyalty, I guess you wouldn't mind."
Puzzled by the formal language of her brother, Khyaati asked, "Brother, why are you talking like that?"
Varchaswa replied "Because, I want you to understand that this is going to be a conversation between an Awakened Mage and his apprentices. This is not a conversation between siblings. You need to understand the gravity of the situation."
Vaibhavi asked, "What you mean is this conversation is a secret bound by the oath of loyalty?"
Varchaswa replied, "Indeed, it is as you think." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "What I am about do discuss are things that are to be considered top most secret and of top most priority. But if you feel burdened, you can choose to not listen."
Khyaati smirked and said, "I may be your apprentice, but I am also your sister and a Princess of the Dwarka Royal family. There is no way I am afraid of a little 'burden'."
Vaibhavi also expressed her determination, "After coming this far from home, I was given a chance to prove myself. There is no way I am turning down my first challenge."
Varchaswa looked at them both deeply and then said, "Since, the both of you have resolved yourselves, I will tell you. But before I do that, I would like to ask you a couple of questions. OK?"
Khyaati and Vaibhavi both replied that they are ready for a few Questions.
Varchaswa asked his first question, "What do you know about ancient Mythological texts like Mahaabhaarat & Raamaayan?"
Vaibhavi replied, "I have heard their names. As you are aware, I spent my childhood with my mother in military camps, so I am not educated properly. I only know there are ancient books written in ancient languages."
Khyaati added, "From what I learnt, those ancient texts have been researched across the sub-continent. There are many versions in existence and there are some folk stories and folk songs about them passed through the ancient times in the common tongue.
Many Scholars are researching these texts, even Grandfather Vidur has been trying his best. He once told me that there are many other books from ancient times written in the ancient language which have been passed down in kingdoms and empires for generations. These books are not easily accessible and are kept in the Hidden Libraries of their respective Kingdoms and the Empires.
Also, the texts are written in more than one ancient language. The texts that the Vijay Nagar Empire in the south has, is written in a language that is even considered pre-ancient. They claim that, that particular language is the first language of the world and is part of their heritage."
Varchaswa was impressed by the knowledge demonstrated by Khyaati. He said, "As expected of my sister. I see that spending time with Aunt Geeta has its benefits."
"Of course, apart from Grandfather Vidur, aunt Geeta is the best scholar in the Kingdom" Khyaati said with a smug look.
At this point, Varchaswa realised that Vaibhavi was feeling down so he looked at her and said, "Vaibhavi, you don't need to feel so down. You are, in no way inferior to Khyaati. She has her talents, and you have yours.
Your expertise lies in Military tactics, operations and strategies. If I am not wrong, you have learnt all three from your mother. So, cheer up! You have your own role to play."
Vaibhavi realized the meaning of those words and said, "Yes I understand."
Varchaswa then took are two booklets and handed it over to them. He explained, "These booklets will help you learn the ancient language called Sanskrit. The ancient texts in our hidden library are written using this ancient language. It is also called 'Dev-Vaani' meaning 'Language of the heavenly deities'. It has a very robust and accurate Grammar."
Vaibhavi asked, "By calling it the 'language of the deities' do you mean to say that the heavenly deities talk using this language?"
Khyaati also asked at the same time, "And does that mean that the chants used by the priests in temples especially during the awakening ceremony is the same language?"
Varchaswa smiled and said, "Well I just told you what I know. I am not a heavenly deity so I can't say what language they converse in. And yes, the language of the chants is the same language. The chants were passed down in the families of the priests as a secret heritage.
However, they just know the pronunciation. They do not know how to read or write the ancient language. They use their own language to read and write those chants. As long as the pronouncements are fine, it works."
Khyaati asked, "But brother, how do you know all this?"
Varchaswa was silent for a while before speaking, "It is a secret… is what I want to say, but since you are my apprentices it is better to tell you both. Also, this will make the other explanations easy. So listen carefully. On the day of my awakening, I received more than one blessing."
Vaibhavi and Khyaati both gasped while listening to his words. This was almost inconceivable. Not only he got the legendary 'Lightning' awakening signifying a blessing of the Indra, the King of Heavenly deities; but now he was telling them that he got more blessings? How many? And from whom?
Before their minds spiralled out of control he continued, "Listen, I will explain. I got blessing from Indra so I got Lightning & Thunder elements. From Soma, the Moon deity I got the Moonlight and power of the Night, so my power will be amplified during the night. And from Lord Ganesh, the God of Victory, Intellect and Wisdom, I got a part of Divine Wisdom & Intelligence."
The silence in the room continued before Khyaati finally spoke, "Wow brother, you are so lucky."
"I would rather say he is amazing. Three blessings of the highest quality means that the heavens have some unusual fate and tasks for him." Vaibhavi said with some concern.
Varchaswa said, "That is true. When I received a part of Divine Wisdom & Intellgence, I was told about certain things. The future of the Sub-continent is at stake. We need to be prepared. But that and all comes later. We need to work on our immediate issues first.
Oh by the way, saying Divine Wisdom & Intelligence is too cumbersome so I will shorten it to Divine Wisdom from now on. Please remember that."
Khyaati: "Yes, that is true. So about the training…"
Varchaswa interrupted her and said, "Wait, I am not done here. Listen to me first. As I said, the Divine Wisdom made me realize a few things. The ancient era's can be divided into 4 sub-eras. Sat-yug, Treta-yug, Dwapar-yug and Kal-yug.
Many wars were fought in each of these sub-eras. But, at the end of each sub-era a Great Holy War was fought. These resulted in a lot of devastation and the civilizations always began anew in the following sub-era. This was the result of the usage of something called as Divine Weapons during the Wars.
There are heritages and legacies passed down in different lands and kingdoms. For example, our Kingdom of Dwapar & Gandhar have the legacy of the Lord Krishna of the Dwapar-Yug. The Kingdom of Ayodhya, The Mauryan Empire & the Vijay Nagar Empire have the legacies of Lord Ram of Treta-Yug.
The Kingdom of Nepal has the legacy of Lady Sita of Treta-yug. The Rudra tribe of the Himalayas has the legacy of Supreme God Shiva. The West also has many other legacies of their own especially from the Kal-yug sub-era.
If these Divine Weapons are unleashed, multiple cities can be annihilated in an instant. Also, only a Divine Weapon can stop another Divine Weapon. And these Divine Weapons are spread across the World.
However, just like Magic Weapons, they are divided into low, middle, high and highest grade. Some texts say that Legendary and Mythical Divine Weapons like Bramhastra and Pashupatiastra also exist."
[Note: Astra means Weapon. As per Hindu Mythology, Brahmastra and Pashupatiastra are terrifying weapons of Supreme Gods Brahma and Shiva respectively.
Fun fact: the 'Brahmos' missile a joint venture between Russia and India has similarities to Brahmastra. A weapon which will continue to chase the target until it hits and destroys it. The destruction caused by such weapons are supposedly many times that of Nuclear Bombs.]
Khyaati couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Wait a minute brother. Who is powerful enough to create those weapons? And for what reason?"
Varchaswa smirked and said, "Who creates weapons for us? Why do they create them? Weapons are meant for two purposes – to attack or to defend. The Divine Weapons as the name suggests were initially created by the Divine Beings, that is, they were created by the Gods.
The purpose was for use against the Evil Beings. The humans obtained the Weapons by pleasing the Gods. Initially, it was used for good of the humanity, but later, greed took over and weapons were misused.
By the time of Kal-Yug, humans were devoid of Divine Weapons. But humans persisted and continued to seek Divine Wisdom. Unfortunately, what they got was not Divine Wisdom but Heavenly Knowledge.
They couldn't differentiate the two and pursued Divine Knowledge and starting with Nuclear Weapons they were finally able to create Weapons that were similar to Divine Weapons."
Vaibhavi was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but ask, "Humans are capable of creating Divine Weapons?"
Varchaswa said, "No, they are not. I said, they created something similar to Divine Weapons. Those weapons had high destructive capacity but they also had many disadvantages. But still, considering their capabilities, it speaks volumes of the potential of humanity since they were created in the sub-era where Magic or Divine powers had been lost."
Khyaati: "Wait what? No Magic or Divine Powers? There was such a sub-era?"
Varchsawa said, "There sure was. In Kal-yug, the society drifted towards another path. The path of Science and Technology. They pursued comfort and happiness in their own way. Many nations prospered and perished. Our science and technology works in conjunction with Magic. Theirs was independent of everything.
Anyway, these are things to be discussed some other day. It is already getting late. I almost forgot the main reason I called you for."
Khyaati asked with an amused look, "And that is?"
Varchaswa replied, "I have got permission from the Royal Court to open the Royal Military Training Grounds to be used by Freshmen and Sophomores starting tomorrow. As freshmen representatives, you two will be in-charge of the freshmen training.
Uncle Nakula & I will alternate for the training of Sophomores. As for the Final and Pre-final years, they will be training in the Academy Training Grounds. Vice-Principal Bheeshma, Grandpa Drona and myself will be in-charge of their training."
Khyaati: "Brother, you are training the freshmen and sophomore in secret? What are you planning? Are you planning to pick the best candidates from all 4 years to use for the practice match against the Ayodhya Kingdom?"
Varchaswa: "Hmm. Something like that. Anyway, this is the booklet containing the plans for the freshmen and sophomores training. Do go through them tonight. Also, starting tomorrow, after the regular training that ends at 4 PM, you both will come to the study room at 7 PM and study the Sanskrit language in my study room. Remember all these things are to remain a secret."
"Yes, I understand." Both girls replied.
Varchaswa said, "You may go now. Good night."
"Good night, Big Brother."
"Good night, Prince Varchaswa."
The girls left leaving Varchaswa alone in his study room lost in thoughts. His plan to unite the Bhaarat Sub-continent had just begun!

Ayvid said, "Yeah let's go for a movie and dinner."

He surfed through the movies and saw many romantic movie names. Suddenly he thought of Mythi and awkward scenes of friends sitting together for a romantic movie. "Huff.. There is animated movie which is quite hilarious and I know girls love animated series"

He further added, "Don't look sternly even guys like it. Just for fun, said so. Come on girls"

So he booked the movie and restaurant. Sharon brought the car and everyone hopped in. Soon they entered the movie hall and the most center seats has been booked. 

Ayvid said, "It's 3+3 offer. So can't help an extra empty seat also booked."

Lyna said, "That's fine we all can sit together and you can sit leaving one seat in between us"

Ayvid sneered and Sharon scoffed on Ayvid. Finally Ayvid, Nasina, Sharon, Lyna and Mythi sat next to each other. And ofcourse Keanu seated next to Mythi.

Isn't fate plays in favor of Keanu. Still they all enjoyed a hilarious animated movie with their a** off laughing. 

Keanu saw how the guys placed the hands around their girls and how deeply they embraced their girlfriends. Though Keanu placed his hands around the chair of Mythi, He doesn't want to touch or hold her. He wanted Mythi to enjoy her life just like other girls out there.

Every once in a while the guys take turns to notice the beautiful smiles on their girls and it doesn't been left out by Keanu. He too is looking into Mythi every now and then.

After the film, they moved to the restuarant for dinner. Keanu saw all the dishes and wanted to taste it. So once in a while he gulped the dishes before anyone notice.

Just imagine a piece of food is floating around and looked like some one is eating like a hollow man. He too enjoyed being around these group of people.

After everything ended, Sharon dropped the girls outside the apartment and waved a goodbye.

Keanu too waved back to the guys where they couldn't see it. Sharon went ahead to drop Ayvid.

Girls were chatting and giggling continuously about the story of the movie and enjoying being themselves.

Mythi freshen up and tugged herself for sleep. She was smiling like an idiot thinking how nice and fun they had been the whole day.

Soon she slept where the other girls are exchanging their romantic texts with their boyfriends. 

Keanu too lay closer to her for sleep. Suddenly Mythi hugged him and doing sleep talking. "Keanu where are you? I'm missing you badly? How nice would it be if you're also here with me?"

This time Keanu couldn't help, he hugged her back tightly. Mythi continued her talk for few mins and blurted out, "Can't we be same like others? Can you not hold me like those guys? I want to spend rest of my life with you idiot?"

After hearing her last sentence, he couldn't hold back anymore. He moved in closer and kissed  her forehead.

Mythi's face quickly turned pink and this made  the situation more awkward for him. He slowly placed a kiss on her nose and moved little down. 

Their lips touched and soon he continued his kiss passionately. Mythi slowly opened her eyes and see Keanu face in a fraction of second.

She closed her eyes and responded to his kiss. After a little while when Mythi gasped for air, Keanu quick moved away and left the room.

He knows that he can't control further, If he is there in that room. He went outside and felt the heat throughout his body. It's snowy winter outside but he is the only one who is hot. Suddenly he felt like he did a mistake.

"I don't even know whether I'm a human or any living being. I shouldn't have done that. Out of all, how can I think to hurt Mythi? Moron how can you do this to her?"

"Well you might love her to the heart and soul, But do you either have a heart or a soul?"

His heart ached for the moment of foolishness. Mythi opened her eyes and couldn't recollect the things. 

"Did I dream? But I felt like I kissed Keanu in real? Keanu how come I could see his face? Am I going mad? God please stop making things difficult for me?"

"But it felt real. She felt very hot and hurt by her thoughts. I should continue to sleep else I'll go mad. After a serious of many thoughts for almost an hour, She slept"

Soon the weekend started and she got a text from the friends about their plan to the fireflies shower place. When she is about to respond, she got other texts stating that even they spoke to her mom for permission.

"So when did I miss such things. When you became more close to mom and more sneeker without me knowing it"

**Anyhow back your bags ready it's a 2 or 3 days trip and we said that we are going on a field trip with our classmates upon confirmation from professors. So maintain the same**

Soon she got ready and Lyna came in with her project books and other stuffs which made them look like they are really going for a research work.

Mythi chuckled by the preparation of Lyna and continued acting along with her. Soon they signed off from home and the trio went near by University where they hopped into Sharon's Car. 

Ayvid did a warm welcome and they geared up for their trip. Now this Keanu too sitting inside the car along with others. He felt kind of weird and excited.

I realized I couldn't risk calling Lucy because my sister might overhear, so I pulled out my phone, thinking I'd text her. There were quite a few missed texts on a three-way with Lucy and Emma, and I saw that Milo had called me, too. While I'd spoken to him a few days before, I was still in my crazy state of thinking that Drew's death was no big deal when we talked, so I was eager to call him back to claim I'd been in shock or something.
Noises next door told me Cadence was in her room, but she wasn't particularly loud, and I hoped she'd fall asleep for a little while. After that, I hoped I'd get a chance to talk to her. There was so much going on all of a sudden, and I felt pressed for time, even though I had no idea why.
I checked my texts first. The girls had discovered the car was a Lamborghini Aventador, which cost about $400,000. That number was from Emma, so I knew it wasn't an exaggeration. I almost dropped my phone. Again.
Also, Emma explained that you have to have a license to practice medicine in Iowa to be admitted to a hospital as a physician, so Dr. Sanderson's story didn't make any sense. She said there was only one Dr. Elliott Sanderson in the entire database of doctors she had accessed, and he was licensed in Oklahoma as a psychiatrist.
There was a whole lotta shade being thrown at this person's story.
I sent them several texts to let them know what I had overheard and went ahead and jotted it down in the notebook as well. I figured at this point, it was smart to have notes in various places. My family wasn't typically nosy, so I wasn't too worried someone might find them, and Lucy's parents never messed with her stuff. There was a chance her maid might find it, but she only came to clean once a week and would probably think Lucy was just being weird. Emma's parents knew she was weird so they wouldn't think twice about seeing her write down something that sounded like a fantasy game.
"Sunday: Cadence returned. I saw her get out of the Lamborghini Aventador she had ridden away in the other night, and I think it was the same girl who was driving though I couldn't really see her. Cadence got out of the car like a normal person but then moved so quickly to the house, all I could see was a streak. I am certain that this happened, even though it is unbelievable.
"I overheard my mother asking about Cadence's transformation. My dad said that he thought my mom was envisioning a scene from a horror movie. My mom mentioned that she thought Aaron was just telling them what he wanted them to hear. My dad said they had been a bit scared and thought the whole situation was circumspect, which Emma told me means, 'guarded' or 'wary,' so I think that means he is suspicious of what is going on. I concur, though my parents clearly know a lot more than I do."
Once I was satisfied that I'd written down everything I needed to, I gave Milo a call, hoping he didn't think I was nuts like he did the other day when I'd talked to him.
"Hey, Cass. Is your sister home?"
Milo is often very direct, like Emma. "Yes, she's here. Listen, Milo, I'm sorry I was acting so weird the other day when we were talking. I think I was still in shock about, you know, everything. I'm really upset about Drew, and I am just hoping my sister is okay." I kept my voice down, hoping Cadence couldn't hear me, but it didn't really matter if she did. Milo and I weren't going to discuss anything I wasn't supposed to know.
"That's fine," Milo said, clearly accepting my crazy explanation. "I just wanted to tell you I saw you leaving Jack Cook's house this morning."
"Right," I said. Milo lived down the street from the Cooks, and we'd driven by his house a couple of times. "I just went over to check on him."
"Yeah, me, too." Milo was silent for a really long time. "He seems freaked out."
Normally, Milo would use more scientific words than "freaked" but I had to agree with his word choice. "I know," was all I could manage. I wasn't ready to tell yet another one of my friends that I thought something bizarre was going on with my sister and her friends. 
"You saw it, too?"
"Uh huh."
"I mean not only did he look awful, the whole time I was trying to talk to him, he kept looking out the window, and at one point he said, 'I think I'm next.' Then, his mom came in and calmed him down, saying something about some doctor. It was really weird, Cass."
I took a deep breath, not knowing what to say. I knew that Milo had every right to be concerned, but I didn't want to let him know what I knew. "That is bizarre," I finally said. "He was a little antsy when I was there, but nothing like that." I wondered if his mother had started using the Dr. Sanderson line with him because she saw what happened when I mentioned him or if she'd been doing it all along.
"Your sister's not acting like that, is she?" he asked, and I could hear more than just curiosity in his voice. He really thought my sister might be losing it, too.
"No, she's sad, I think, but not paranoid." I did not mention that I thought, whatever was happening to Jack, my sister had already gone through it. It had to have something to do with this transformation procedure my parents kept talking about, but I had no idea what it meant. Jack must be in the early stages of transforming or something.
"Well, that's good," Milo said. His voice sounded a little calmer, but not completely back to normal. "Okay. I just wanted to check on her. And you."
"Thanks, Milo," I said, trying to smile so that he would think I was being nonchalant. I may have to enlist his help later, but not right now.
We hung up, and I saw that I'd missed a whole slew of speculative texts from my girls. I let them know what Milo had told me, and once again, added a notation in the notebook. At this rate, I was going to need a three-ring binder.
"Sunday: Milo called. Said he went to see Jack, who was acting weird. Jack said he 'thinks he's next.' Not sure what this means but wondering if hast something to do with transforming. Are Aaron and Elliott stalking Jack? Will he be their next victim?"

he world isn't the place you think it is. It's dark, it's secretive, and it's dangerous.
When my sister returned from a party one night, I knew something was different--something was wrong. I was determined to find out what was wrong, before it was too late. My life as a small town high school student would soon be transformed as I discovered an entirely different world, one where Vampires, Guardians, and Hunters war over humanity.
My name is Cassidy Findley, and I’m pretty sure my sister is a vampire, despite her “co-worker” making every effort to brainwash me into believing otherwise.  I can only hope that I’m not too late and that I can trust my own memories. 
Because I’m pretty sure my sister’s friends are coming for me next.
The Chronicles of Cassidy is a retelling of The Clandestine Saga specifically for young adult/teen readers told from the perspective of high schooler Cassidy Findley.
