The Impossible Stars: Earth

Chapter 3: Ali

It was almost a few days, when I finally listened to the letters that was being sent to me.

As I walked up the stairs to the monitor room, I was thinking of telling Hana more about me but my mind always went to blank...

Finally, I stopped at the room to noticed Hana away from the monitors, staring outside through one of windows.

"Miss... Delphi?" I began but she had turned to me and stare at me.

"Yes?" She said as she walked away from the window.

"Well... you see, you have been promoted." I told her as she started to sit down but stopped and stared at me...

"Promoted?" Hana asked with a confused look on her face.

"Yes." I breathe out... trying not to look weird to her.

"Ok, Mr..." Hana stopped and look down. "Sorry... I seem to never ask your name."

"Mr. Kichen." I said just as I heard Hana let out a laugh. I ignored her as she walked to me.

"Alright, what am I being promoted to?" Hana asked me after that awkward moment.

"You are being promoted into a creator... the master kept sending me letters, saying that you... have the talent." I said while trying to hide the fact that I hated doing this to her.

Hana finally understood and waited by the stairs...

"Huh?" I look at her.

"I'm guessing... this task doesn't belong her?" Hana asked me.

I nodded as I walked up the stairs towards the big blue doors... After being silent all the way, I had noticed she had stopped... I looked behind me and saw that she was looking outside of the window again.

I often wonder why she kept looking outside but never bother to ask her. I don't think I wanted to.

"Miss Delphi?" I pressed, hoping to move on while I pushed open the doors...

She walked in and looked around... Then straight up. "Stars?!"

I preceded in telling her about the master and how he made these stars... I heard her mumble something about it being impossible.

Yea, me too... I thought in my head.

"So, Miss Delphi," I began but stopped when she look at me.

"Hana... you can call me Hana." She said to me.

I nodded and smiled a bit. "Then you can call me Ali." You idiot, I thought to myself.

"That's a better name, Ali." Hana laughed a bit but it was a good laugh.

I felt relief and nodded. "Well, then... Hana, I will be teaching you some things in the next few days and weeks."

Hana nodded but seemed to be distracted by the stars above.

I tilt my head upwards and stared at them too. Just like she said... they seem impossible... but yet... beautiful.

I then told her that I will let her be as I walked out of the doors and closed them...

I stood behind the closed doors, listening in as she moved around the room.

Something else told me... my true desire will come later. Not her... but the powers that I wanted.

I sighed as I shook the feeling off and walked down the stairs in silence. Too many things coming to my mind and I knew none were my own. Somebody was messing with me... but who... I did not know yet.

Only time can tell.
