Scorched: Book 3

Flashback

Once Zonea and Leau left the room, Percy frowned and said " appear North, South, East, and West. Come forth and head my command"! Seeping into the room four monstrous golden feathers floated until they gently touched the floor. The floor trembled four different beams of light. A red fiery color, a deep calm green, a brilliant purple, and the darkest black. When the lights finally settled down, four beings stood in their place. The beings looked as if they were twigs. They had no hair on their head. No eyebrows and deep scars that criss-crossed their faces. Their arms and legs were bended into a pretzel shape. To make matters worse they had no mouths neither did they have a nose. Yet they had on their backs beautiful light grayish red taint wings. It was completely silent inside the room until Percy said " I see that the four have become a little bit stronger. That wasn't an easy training in zero gravity, with the gravity pressure of thirty galaxies added as well. But the four survived and I'm pleased to see the results". Water particles blended together until a strand of water began to float into the air. The strand vibrated and North said " Creator it was our pleasure to train according to your wishes. Our strength is yours to use anyway you wish. Creator how may we be of service to you"? Percy said " even though I made many plans to prepare for any event that I suspect could happen. I am not that brilliant enough to catch everything. That is where the four of you come in. With a flick of your fingertips any of the four can destroy countless galaxies". Pausing for a second Percy continued " I have had countless near death experiences in my lifetime. Yet I keep having an uneasy feeling deep inside. There may come a chance where I will perish in battle". Suddenly a great desturbance occurred, half of the magnificent Palace Percy built vanished into thin air. Afterwards ash rained down into the ocean. With a great shout the four said "over our dead bodies! We will ravage the fools who even dared to think of attacking you"! So great was the pressure the four created unfortunately ten galaxy systems were destroyed in the Poison Galaxy. Percy sighed and said " control yourselfs! Remember where who you are standing before"! Percy's shout caused the four who at the moment looked invincible to fall forcibly to the hard ground. Their faces pressed to the ground and they were unavle to move. "Forgive us creator we mean no disrespect. We'll behave ourselves now creator. What do you want us to do "? Percy replied back " I need you to watch over my other plans especially my adopted son and daughter. If I'm not here anymore to protect them I need you four to guide and protect them. There are beings more powerful that Zonea and Leau cannot face. Only the four of you together may have a chance against those beings".

The wind flowed until it turned into a music sheet. South said " Creator why do you place such a great importance on Zonea and Leau? They are not even your progeny". Percy said " let me tell you a story why I love those kids as my own".
