Silver Cathedral Saga (35 page)

At this
time they came to Eleanor and Christian’s village looking for: Hiva
Aura, and noticed the tree was above them. The Tree of Unity. It
was night, and the blue star magick light took them to it, them all
being dazzled by its radiant beauty.

“This must
have been waiting for us,” said Eleanor. “It was on its way here
ages ago. I wonder why it never followed us?”

“Maybe
because it knew we would come back here,” said Christian looking
out to the still empty and destroyed village. “And I don’t even
know if it could follow us to beneath these lands.”

It seemed
to be hovering above Eleanor’s house, or round about that
place.

But then,
the tree seemed to give a jingle sound, one that was quiet. And yet
it was not in patterns or a little at a time, it was one continuous
ring, as if if was sending a message or communicating somehow.

This
gigantic magickal floating tree lit up as it moved little by
little, like the Silver Cathedral. Only the Tree of Unity followed
and moved to those it needed, and knew where people where on the
planet at all times. Almost everyone knew this.

It glowed a
violent blue, much brighter than all of their star-metal together,
the ringing never giving in all this time.

Then
Selphira, and Oddius—were shot up into the sky and out of this
world, being enveloped in blue spheres of magick, moving so fast
through the starry space.

A black
hole opened almost immediately after the old warriors were gone,
and to everyones surprise, brought forth a child that could not be
made out at this time. There was a sudden chill in the air from the
wind. Nature appeared to be telling them something was wrong in its
own way, and made all their hairs stand up.

When
Christian walked closer to the figure it became clear as quick as
Eleanor would have made this person out. He knew it was her. His
family, their blood.

Even with
the messed up hair, torn clothes and ghastly pale face, Christian
knew. Like an extra sense we acquire; being with people for so
long, we just seem to know and feel things that can not always be
explained. A subconscious feeling if you will.

This
feeling clicked into place as soon as the girl turned, even if it
was ever so slightly.

Christian’s
eyes froze with his movement. “Miyah?” he asked not certain, even
though there was no doubting what he saw in these moments.

The girl’s
eyes looked tired, almost as if they were trying to sleep on their
own. The child in front then looked at Christian as her slow
response.

She did not
answer. At least not the way most people would. Instead, she
pursued her lips and stared at him as if she had never seen him
before.

“It’s me,”
Christian called out. Everyone watched their actions and heard his
words take place, being cautious themselves. But there was no
reaction as soon as he said what he did. In fact, there was a slow
and delayed response, which troubled Christian. Which made him go
right up to her, this girl, before the Tree of Unity above them
floating and dulling from the prior blue.

It looked
to all the other onlookers, that Oddius and Selphira went as this
other girl came out the black hole. Pretty much in sync. An
exchange. Maybe not the most fairest of exchanges, as two were
traded for one, but there was some fairness all the same.

Christian
touched the girl’s ghostlike skin. She pulled from him immediately.
He could see the fear in Miyah’s eyes. There was still something he
did not know—and he saw that now. “I’m here to help Miyah,” were
his words. Yet she couldn’t look at him still, her tendrils of
dark, messed hair dangling over her eyes.

This
brought about a time for Christian to think he had lost his sister
again, though in a much different way than he ever thought he
would. He could see she was not the same little sister he had
before she had disappeared.

However—he
had her back now. Which had to count for something!

And it
did count for something. A whole lot more.

Miyah
became a Spell-caster like her brother and lived in the Silver
Cathedral, and it seemed she had some magickal talent with
Oranos
’
s power, like her mother. It did
take some time to get Christian
’
s sister
back to where she was, or as close as she would ever get, but they
also uncovered some intelligence that helped understand these
Shadow beings.

Miyah, her
brother Christian, and Eleanor, when they grew up, which went
awfully faster than they liked, went on numerous important
adventures together. And as that goes, I will leave you now. For
their adventures, in the future—are a completely different story
for a completely different time.
