The unification ceremony was to be held by the lakeside. It was tradition to exchange vows under the moonlight.
Sana checked the decorations one last time before the guests started to arrive. It was unlike anything the werewolves had ever seen. The whole stage was carved out of a single slab of pure white marble. It dazzled in the moonlight giving it a surreal look.
Four pillars flanked the stage. Garlands of flowers entwined around the pillars like vines. Streamers and garlands ran between the pillars creating an enclosure of sorts. They had even managed to make four light bulbs glow in the corners.
It was perfect just like Vivian had envisioned. Sana just wanted to add some additional effect. She took out a jar and opened it. The next moment, hundreds of fireflies flocked around the light bulbs, giving the setting a fairytale look.
The area around the lake had been cleared to make room for the guests. In the extreme right corner, a huge stone oven had b
Vivian woke up with a start the next morning; completely drenched in sweat. She gripped the edge of the bed as she tried to catch her breath.“Vivi, what happened, love?” Sandilo asked groggily as he sat up rubbing his eyes.“I… saw that a fleet of spaceships had attacked the Lycan World and we both were running about, trying to save our daughter,” Vivian muttered with a horrified look.“Love, look at me…” Sandilo said drawing closer and lifting her chin.Looking into her eyes, he said, “It was just a dream. We are safe at the AV cottage. There is no attack.”Vivian’s eyes swept around the room and she relaxed considerably. Sandilo was right. It was only a dream. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder why she had seen the nightmare.Suddenly, she jumped to her feet and ran out. Sandilo shook his head at her weird behavior before following her out.It was a good thi
Vivian was seated on the cold floor of a poorly lit room. Her copper-brown tresses bounced on her forehead in the light breeze that blew in through the window. The loneliness and despair of the moonlit sky reflected in her electric blue eyes. She fiddled with the IAD (Information Analyzing Device) In her hand. It was just a piece of metal since its power had long died, and there was no way to power it up.The door burst open with a loud creak. Vivian understood that it was Sandilo without even lo
Click! Click! Click!..... Click! Click! Click!...The rhythming clicking of the pen pierced through the silence as Vivian paced at the entrance of the Zodiac Space Research Organization. After every round, she would glance at the device strapped to her wrist.Vivian was dressed in body-hugging pants and a full-sleeved sweater made up of a unique material called Jermakayun, which was embedded with nano temperature sensors that maintained the temperature of the body at the optimum level.
When Vivian woke up, she found herself lying on her bed. She woke up with a start as the memories flooded her mind.“No!” She screamed, tearing at her hair. “Vivi, calm down. Everything is alright.” Ruza said, rubbing her back. “How did I come here?” She said as she held her head. She felt like hundreds of hammers were hitting her at the same time.
“Ruza! You are late as usual.” Vivian said with a scowl.”“And you are early as usual.” Ruza retorted as she adjusted the straps of her backpack. She was dressed just like Vivian today. “Today is such an important day for us. Couldn’t you have come earlier?” Vivian said, tapping her foot. “Oh! Come on, Vivi.
Vivian and Ruza were seated on a raised platform facing a gigantic screen. An array of controls and buttons stretched out in front of them. “Navigation control.”“Check”“Fuel Level.”“Maximum.”
One month later, the space ship had successfully entered into the orbit of ‘The Lycan World’“Wohoooo!!” Vivian screamed as she jumped out of her seat, only to be pulled back again by the harness. “Ouch!!” She exclaimed, rubbing her waist.“Calm down, Vivi. We don’t want to destroy the spaceship before completing our mission.” Ruza said, pulling down a l
Vivian had been staring at the reply sent by her Supervisor for eternity. She still couldn’t understand why her Supervisor had refused to give permission.“How long will you keep looking at that message?” Ruza asked, placing her had on Vivian’s shoulders. Vivian let out the breath she was holding. She unbuckled the harness and stood up. “ You are right. There is no use staring
