THORNS OF BLOOD
PROLOGUE - THE WORLD AFTER
Author
Hello and welcome to another of my story!!
Author
Before I continue, let me tell you, that this story contains a lot of violence, blood, etc, which may not be suitable for some readers...
Author
Please read with your own caution, cause I won't budge if you are reporting my story.
Author
And also, the pictures used aren't mine.
Author
I have already warned, and those who are afraid, won't read any further.
The planetary system, the solar system, the planets...the Earth, Mars, Saturn, Venus... as we used to know them, is long gone...
With the evolution of science and technology, newer finds came up...
Which also meant... Newer threats...
The alien invasion of the 57th century, had devasted Earth, and it's surrounding planets...
Not many people survived the sudden outburst...
And those who did, moved to a completely different galaxy...
Earth was uninhabitable now...
Centuries later, when dimensional transport, had become a norm, and people had successfully survived the inter- galactic instability...
The newer dimensions came to be "made"...
With the advancement in technologies, scientists, could now "CREATE" dimension...
Advanced technologies, also meant advancement in humanity...
Armed with dimensional weapons, people are now much, much stronger...
Alongwith a strong government known as the "SPACE SECURITY SOCIETY" or the SSS, they can now be termed invincible. Exo planetary beings and the typical "HUMANS", who have survived the "GREAT WAR", now live together.
The people are not known as "Humans" now... This term was long gone...
They are now known as "DENIZENS"...
The shortened form for "DIMENSIONAL CITIZENS...
And, now... They have evolved even further....
To the extent, that they now have "INNATES"...
Our story starts in one such dimension...
AETHERIA is one of the first places, the "HUMANS" travelled to, after being attacked...
GALAXY - AURORA CASCADE...
The most beautiful galaxy in today's world...
And the most horrifying too...
"BEAUTY... COMES WITH A PRICE..."
Author
Hey fellow spacers!!!
Author
I am trying to write something new...
Author
I hope it is likeable to the readers...
Author
It would have actually been great, if I could have added music to the chapters... But alas...
CHAPTER 1 - A NEW START
The NEXUS PRIMUS, is the capital city of AETHERIA...
There is no SUN, in this galaxy...
Everything is powered by the "GALACTIC MOONS"...
The MOONS turn into a brighter shade during day, and a darker shade, during the night time...
This is how the DENIZENS, differentiate between day and night...
And the transformation, from day to night, is known as the "SHIFT"...
TIME PERIOD - 3683 CENTURY
(AFTER THE GREAT WAR)
A young lady, of about 9 years, stirred in her sleep...
SP - 29
It's time to wake up!!!
The support bot said, excitedly.
It pushed the sleepy girl.
Lyra Nova
Now don't push me!!!
SP - 29
You wouldn't budge if I didn't...
After a short pause, it said.
Lyra Nova
Who is even teaching you these words...
Lyra Nova
Nah... it's my sista, isn't it??
Lyra Nova
It's no one right??
The bot nodded its head in affirmation.
SP - 29
It's your first day of school!!!
Lyra reluctantly got of her bed.
She put on some formal clothing, and with a last look of her room, left for breakfast.
Lyra Nova
What do we have here...
She looked at her food, and then to the big screen.
Lyra Nova
Calorie meter, protein meter, fibre meter, all checked!!!
She happily started eating.
Lyra Nova
Time for school!!!
Astrid Nova
Don't forget your tag sis!!!
A young girl of about 7 years, said.
Lyra Nova
Look who woke up!!!
Lyra Nova
Thanks for reminding!!!
Lyra Nova
And be a good girl, alright?
Lyra Nova
I'll be back... During the holidays!!!
Astrid Nova
It's just like 2 weeks, since you became an adult...??
Astrid Nova
Look at you acting like a mom...
NOTE - YOU BECOME AN ADULT AT THE AGE OF 9 HERE... IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC MEANING, IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOW BE GIVEN AN IDENTITY TAG, WHICH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CARRY EVERYWHERE.
BASICALLY, YOU BECOME THE "TRUE DENIZEN" AT THE AGE OF 9.
Lyra Nova
Sometimes I feel like you are the elder sibling...
Lyra and Astrid both chuckled.
Then, Astrid thought quietly for a few moments and said.
Astrid Nova
When's your holiday, by the way??
Lyra Nova
Well, I don't know...
Astrid Nova
You know absolutely nothing!!!
They both stood infront of each other, and then, they hugged tightly.
Lyra Nova
Be good, and listen to the SPs alright?
SP - 341
Don't worry about her!!!
SP - 29 nodded in agreement.
Then, Lyra and Astrid let go of each other.
Lyra Nova
I'm getting late!!!
Lyra Nova
Thanks for reminding me about the tag though...
Astrid Nova
Love you too!!!
Once outside, Lyra got inside her space pod.
Lyra Nova
To COSMOS SCHOOLl!!
The space pod started moving.
The view was great, as Lyra looked outside.
Lyra Nova
You are gonna do great today!!!
The pod came to a halt, in front of a huge building.
Author
Do you guys like it!??
Author
Be sure to state your views in the comments!!!
CHAPTER 2 - ZEPHYR ATLAS
⚠️CONTAINS MILD ABUSIVE LANGUAGE!!!⚠️
Lyra parked her pod in the space garage and headed inside.
Lyra Nova
Damn... This is frieking huge!!
She was met by a towering building.
Lyra Nova
Let's see where I am supposed to go...
She scurried near the floating roster, which was already crowded by the number of students.
Suddenly, she bumped into a big, burly guy.
Big guy
Watch where you are going!!!
Lyra started picking up her fallen stuffs.
Big guy
What the f*ck...!!
Big guy
This b*tch is showing her back to me!!!
Lyra picked her stuffs, and said.
Lyra Nova
I already said sorry, didn't I??
Big guy
And now you are talking back to me huh!???
Lyra flinched, as the guy roared.
A crowd had formed, with all the commotions.
The guy started glowing, and moving up on air. As if he was floating.
Lyra Nova
Calm down, big guy...
Lyra Nova
Let's be diplomatic...
His eyes were blue in colour.
Glowing veins started forming on his face.
Lyra Nova
I am in big trouble...
A burst of magic erupted from the guy, as a number of rocks started floating.
And then, suddenly, a voice was heard.
Lyra looked around her, she didn't find anyone close enough for her to hear that.
Lyra looked around again.
Her eyes caught a glance of a glowing book, which transformed into a charming young man.
???
It will seem you are bullying the new students...
Lyra Nova
(Woah... Did he just transform...???? He doesn't even look much older than me!!! How on space did he do that!!??)
Big guy
Zephyr Atlas... Are you stalking me!?
Zephyr Atlas
It seems you have a habit of causing troubles...
Zephyr Atlas
And I on the other hand... Have a habit of spotting trouble...
Zephyr Atlas
And right now, it seemed you "were" causing trouble...
Zephyr Atlas
So, give it a rest...
Zephyr Atlas
The freshers orientation is about to start...
Zephyr Atlas
Get back to your dorms...
His eyes glowed in a goldeny purple colour, as he said this.
The big guy, backed off seeing this.
Then, Zephyr turned to face Lyra.
Zephyr Atlas
I hope you are fine.
Lyra Nova
How did you do that!!??
Lyra Nova
That glowy thing!!
Lyra Nova
How did you do that!!!
Zephyr Atlas
You don't know...??
Lyra Nova
Can you teach me??
Lyra Nova
I forgot to introduce myself!!!
Lyra Nova
I turned 9, a few days ago!!!
Lyra made a gesture of hand shake.
Zephyr looked at Lyra, as if scanning her.
Then he let his hand meet hers.
Zephyr Atlas
I am Zephyr... Zephyr Atlas...
At present 9 years old... Celebrated my 9th birthday a few months ago...
A spark flew off their hands, as their hands met...
Zephyr Atlas
(Does she really not know...)
