Ordinary world and life. Ordinary people and souls. They never know what happens outside of their world. A world which existed for million years ago. Centuries passed, and still people don't know it does exist. Many signs and many archives mention that it existed and he existed. But none could ever believe.
For them, ghosts, supernatural powers and unusual people don't exist and never existed. The ones who looked like that were called magicians, necromancers and they should be burnt alive for dealing with the devil or dealing with whom they called a legend and a myth, 'Emperor of Darkness' or 'Dark Master'. They never believed, and never will.
Human had always been arguing with whom tried to explain what magic is. He never learns and never been convinced for these stuffs. Ranorians the ordinaries were what they had been called by the few of them whom believed. They had been sent to the other world Xenon to see what magic is themselves. But they had been sent back for surviving issues. They were much weaker than the priests and Gods and Xenonians in general.
She was 19 years old studying design in Kappa Fashion Design School. Her dream was to become a fashion designer. She attended that school with high marks and high levels and capacities as she was smart, clever, aware and mature enough to make difference between what was good or bad to her and her future and her life. She was so beautiful. Those big green shining eyes with a light ginger long hair, long which passed her butt. A small nose with a very suitable mouth and very attractive lips she had. She wasn't that tall nor short. Cute with an attractive and a beautiful body. Boys were addicted to her beauty. She had a special one really. If you see her you wouldn't get your eyes off of her.
Jessica was the only girl for Mrs Jackson Athena whom wasn't a normal Ranorian. She escaped from Xenon. It was so different of the normal world. A magical one. It carried magicians and witches, and all sorts of magic were there while Ranon didn't have any of these. Also, its people didn't have any ability or superpowers as Xenonians. Two different worlds or opposite worlds in another way.
"Honey! Wake up. Time for school," Her mother shouted from the kitchen.
"Already awake mom," Replied as she went out of her bedroom heading to the kitchen.
They were living in a small house which could carry four persons. Just the two of them living alone without a man to protect them or take care of them made Athena play both of the mother and the father roles.
"Good morning mom," With a smile she said.
"Good morning Jess! Did you sleep well?" Athena asked.
"Yeah. How about you?" She sat beside her mother whom prepared breakfast and already started having it.
"Can't you see I'm in my full energy. Not as you. You look bored!".
"Nah. I just had a bad dream. Anyway, could you pass me the juice bottle?".
"Why don't you drink milk and coffee like normal people do?" Athena asked.
"Mom. I'm not normal okay? I am Jessica!" She smiled toward her mother as she did the same.
"You're my Jessico whom I love mostly!" Her mother stood up to hug her tightly.
"Eh. Yeah, mom. Enough now I'm late!" Jessica held her hand bag and her phone as she hurried to go out after hearing her phone ringing. It was Selena with her father outside waiting for her. "See you mom," Jessica got in the car.
"Good morning Jess," Selena pronounced.
"Good morning. How are you?" Jessica was kind of shy since Selena's father was there though he always took them to school, she kept being shy.
"I'm great how about you?" Selena replied smiling.
"I'm fine," She was kind of worried, anxious and over thinking of the bad dream she had the night before.
"How about me Jessica?" Selena's father interrupted her chain of thoughts.
"Oh. How are you sir? I'm sorry I was in hurry and forgot to ask," She rubbed her head as she felt shy.
"It's fine. How are studies going?" Mr Johnson asked gently.
"Great. Sometimes a little bit hard," Jess replied calmly.
"You both must do your best to graduate with an excellent mark or companies won't look at you at all!" He replied advising as a father and as a worker in a company too.
"Yes, Mr Johnson," She replied as Selena was quiet.
Selena was in the same age as Jessica. The youngest girl in the family. She had an older brother named Kris. He was 25 years old. An attractive tall guy in 186 cm. A charming guy studying medicine and was going to graduate that year. A blond hair with light blue eyes and a muscled healthy strong body. A sportsman and the best in his class.
Not as Selena, she wasn't that good in her studies, it wasn't because she didn't know how to study or what to study. But she was always distracted by many things. It was her big secret. Selena had big hazel eyes with a chestnut medium hair getting to the middle of her back. She knew Jessica from her childhood, especially they lived both in the same neighbourhood. Everyone in there knew that they were so close and nobody could just separate them easily or even try to.
They attended primary school and elementary and high school together. What made everyone wondering why would Jessica be always the best and the excellent in her class while Selena wasn't that good and was getting various marks from F to B and A as her highest mark. It was weird really though they both study and revise together and always stay with each other.
What was stranger too was how Selena got into Kappa Fashion Design School with a high mark as Jessica while she was always known as a normal student with those low marks and sometimes failing. However Jessica never paid attention to her best friend's marks and rarely cared and yelled at her to study hard.
They got out of Mr Johnson's car entering the school. Lot of students, different colors and styles, appearances were diverse since that school was just for fashion designers. Most of students were busy with their work. Few of them were arrogant and thought they would reach and get what they wanted since they were rich and their bright future was clear for them.
"I wonder how I'll finish my first dress that I'm treating these days," Selena spoke desperately as she was walking with Jessica in the hall to get in the design room.
"Don't worry. Just use your imagination and sense of creativity to finish it. I thought it's left for you last touches, right?" Jessica replied hopefully.
"Yeah. I'll show it to you once I finish it!" Selena smiled as she remembered something that might help her for her dress. Jessica just nodded and smiled back hugely as both of them entered the room. Finding some students in there talking and others preparing their materials while few of them reading their copy book.
"I thought it's sunny until I saw what ruined the weather!" Luna pronounced shouting and referring to Jessica making others paying attention to her as she was standing between her two friends Grace and Lisa.
"At least I ruin someone's day," Jessica replied smirking looking at her carelessly.
"Huh! look who's talking!? It's the..," "Witch!" Luna started as both of Grace and Lisa continued and laughed at her. Jessica just went out of their way ignoring.
"Hey you! Do you think you can go as I'm talking. Witch!" Luna stopped Jess from going away. She was always like that with her.
"I've got nothing to deal with you so I must go," Jessica coldly replied giving her cold looks. The prof entered.
Luna was always like that, a jealous bothering girl for every girl whom didn't like. She was already 20 years old. Blue eyes with a black wavy short hair. She was the only daughter for her parents Mr and Mrs Class as her mother was the co president of KFDS -Kappa Fashion Design School - they were both bad, evil and arrogant.
Mrs Class Rose had never loved Jessica. She envied her as her daughter did. They were rude to her. Since she entered that school and they were trying their best to get her out of there.
Watching Jessica in every step so if she would make a mistake she got punished hardly by Mrs Class. Jessica was always patient and lovely, many profs loved her and her creative work as her brilliant mind. Even students were trying to get closer to her which made Luna getting jealous more and trying to bully her each time she saw her.
"Good morning everyone," Mr Bening started looking at Jessica with a smiley face.
"Good morning sir," The students replied bowing.
"Today's lesson is about turning the idea in creating into real touchable thing. A thing as a dress or a shirt or any sort of clothes into it.."
Mr Bening Erik started his lesson. He was a young fashion designer chose to be a professor in that school since he loved teaching. He was about 28 years old. A handsome creative man whom realized his dream by having his own atelier to design his work. Jessica was his preferred student for many reasons. He liked her ideas and her way in creating something with passion and hope. She was always being shy when he gave her compliments. After classes finished both Jessica and Selena went out for lunch.
"Did you notice that the prof always stares at you in the class?!" Selena asked.
"No. Of course not. He doesn't stare at me," Jess replied denying. "I like him by the way," Selena pronounced. "You have a crush on him?" Jessica asked curiously as Selena kept being silent.
"Yeah. since we entered this school and I keep looking at him but he doesn't," Went out of silence to confess.
"Hey! You just put that in your head, prove him that you're the best and you'll see!" Jess winked and smiled. "Yeah. I've got a great idea to finish my dress," She hopefully smiled.
Selena's dress was a surprise. She drew it as she imagined it, as she saw it before, not on someone from Ranor but on someone from Xenon world. It was in dark blue from up and becoming lighter until white while going down. Decorated with blue jewels and it was like goddess's dress. Selena added a spit to it, like a white spit made of silver in an 'x' letter decorated too with small jewels. It wasn't a normal 'x' but was like a sign of something evil. That spit was given to Selena but she had never showed it or use it or put it on her clothes. She had just that idea of decorating her dress. The evening came fast. Both of the girls went back home as Mr Johnson picked them by his car.
"Mom I'm home!" Jessica shouted taking off her shoes.
"Welcome home darling," Athena went out of her room after wiping her tears. "How was your day?" Jess asked smiling not paying attention to her.
"Great as always. I was working in that restaurant and many customers came today. I had to work hardly. I am so tired Jess can you make dinner?" Athena asked with a tiring voice hiding her face from her daughter.
"Yeah, sure mom. Are you okay?" Jessica asked feeling that her mother wasn't feeling fine.
"Yeah, just tired," She went back to her room laying down, thinking about what she had received that day in the restaurant while working.
*Flash Back*
In that morning and after Jessica went to school, Athena was preparing herself to go to work. Since she escaped from Xenon to Ranor, all responsibilities fell on her to raise her daughter without a father. She had done the best to make her live as normal people in Ranor did.
Though Jessica was not normal especially since her father was God of wisdom. She never knew whom he was. She entered the restaurant she was working at. Took off her clothes and wore the uniform. Customers started to come there. She was so dynamic, looking like a young lady with a red hair and a beautiful body and face.
Most of customers were offering her marrying as she kept refusing because of her daughter. She made a promise to her husband that she would take care of her though he would start a new life. That day, someone came to her at lunch time.
"Happy morning for Joestian's wife," She spoke with an evil smile as Athena turned to look at her with a shocked expression on the face.
"What.. Are you.. What are you doing here!?" Athena asked looking around to find herself in a protected space.
A protected space is a place made by Xenonians whom belong to Nero and Aeras districts where people have abilities of controlling water and air. It is made generally for fights though to have personal issues to solve with or persons from Xenon whom are staying in Ranor to deal with in person.
That elf who came to Athena was using a protected space just to talk to her. Lyn was an evil elf female whom was sent by Joestian, God of wisdom, her husband, to let her know of something important about their daughter. Lyn was transmitting Joestian's message.
"Why you look shocked seeing me?! Happy to see me that much!?" Lyn pronounced in an evil way staring at Athena's eyes. She looked so scared.
"No! I can't be happy seeing something or someone from Xenon world! I left you all why you're still following me?!" Athena shouted at her with a defending tone.
"Then I have a message for you from your husband the wisest God Joestian," Lyn tightened her eyes in an evil way.
"What does he want from me! He isn't my husband. He used to be. Now he isn't!" Athena replied denying as she was angry and scared at the same time.
"I have nothing to do with you. If you have something to tell him go to him. I don't work for you at all. Also, I won't explain anything so here's the letter and you read it by yourself. Understand it yourself!" The elf female claimed in anger. She had always hated Athena just because her and Joestian were in love with each other though she was from Ranor as her husband was a God in Xenon.
She gave her the letter that he sent it for her then disappeared with the protected space.
Athena was so scared. Fear expressions were on her face. She had never expected that someday she'd be related to Xenon again.
"Athena! Hurry! There are lot of requests!" The chief of the restaurant shouted at her as she was frozen.
"Yes sir! Coming," She started working again as nothing happened.
That day passed heavily on her. She kept thinking of what would happen to her and her daughter.
She wasn't supposed to leave and run away of Xenon to her world taking a God's daughter with her though she was his wife. Joestian got mad. He wanted his daughter badly. He loved her the day she was created in Athena's belly. He gave her all his love and kindness as she was born. He could've stopped his wife but he just left her go. He loved her so much as she did. However, she had no choice only to run away to protect her daughter from being spelled.
Athena went back home, went directly to her bedroom getting that letter signed by Joestian out of her hand bag. She opened it and started to read as she found inside it a very beautiful and attractive ring.
"Dear whom was mine one day,
All what we wanted had been wasted with what our actions revealed. We were selfish that we didn't give our daughter what we once wished and dreamed about. You took her from her father as you escaped from your lover's arms leaving him dying alone in dark cold nights and cold lights. I have never asked you for something to do to me but now I want you to know that I want my daughter back. I know you wouldn't like that neither accepting it, just to let you know, my dearest Athena, I spelled a curse on her, that was before she took her away from me. Her birthday is close and I have a sweet present for her which will make her meet me someday. There is a special ring I am offering her as a present once she gets twenty years old I want you to give it to her. I won't lie at you but an evil demon will show up to her, stick to her, going wherever she goes, seeing her whenever he wants and after all this, he might drives her crazy and she would look like that to other Ranorians. He will never let go of her whatever happens, only when you both will get back to Xenon and exactly to me. You comeback home inside my arms as she will be living under my protection since I am her father. Don't worry, though you won't let her wear it and whatever you throw it or try to destroy it you won't be able to do that at all. Selfishness will always be paid back by itself.
Your dearest husband,
Wise God Joestian".
Once she started reading the letter her tears started to fall hardly from her eyes. She cried so much holding that letter inside her hand and the ring in the other hand. Hugging them to her chest. Missing her only true love, her husband, her lover and her daughter's father.
Distance is what we actually fear while being in love or as we decide to be in a relationship with a close compatible partner. Distance is the thing we hate. Each inch and each centimeter we count has a meaning.
To be so much close, sharing the same air, same bed sheets, same feelings, same heartbeats and same touches. Kisses were the meal and cuddles and hugs were the cover as their bodies were the bed for each other.
Athena gave everything to Joestian as he did the same. Two souls united, intertwined and created a new soul called their daughter. That warmth she used to feel, that endless happiness beside the one she loved and married. They broke rules to be together. They fought to get each other and they won to do that. But nothing lasts forever.
