That Miracle

Chapter 13 - Liberty and Luzino

" Eh? What could you possibly mean? " Carly asked. I knew it. This is the weirdest thing to do. But I took one step and I felt my feet was dragging me somewhere. Everyone was following me but they were waaay behind my back. Eddie can't hardly catch up even if I knew he runs faster than me. I realized there was fire in my feet and it was making me even faster than ever ...

..........

" You are awake now our Miraclaes. " It was the same familiar voice. Liberty. I opened my eyes and my clothes were replaced by a red dress. The Ruby neckalce was missing but I feel the same. My heat from the body was still sucked up. 

" Where am I ? Am I dead ? " I asked as I slowly sat up. It was a spacious room just like a palace. It was like Heaven and she is the angel. My body aches from head to toe. I can't hardly move right now.

" Please, just stay still. The Ruby Pendant must have over absorbed your powers. " 

" That's good. In that way, I can be normal again. "

" No, it doesn't. You have accepted the power given to you by the fire kingdom of Mars and it is now a part of your body. The problem is you just need to learn how to control it and the Pendant will help you. It was one of the reasons your father left you and your family. To research on this Pendant. It was an ancient object from your planet. " She held the pendant to her hand and it kept on changing colors. Blue. Violet. Yellow and finally back to Emerald.

" That was cool. " I said in amazement.

" You see that ? The Pendant is like an activator. The universe is said to have thousands of powers that reign on each of the systems mainy governed by one primary star. " She stood up and pointed to the solar system. Then she traced it until her finger found the sun. " The sun is the king of the solar system or the place where you live. Having the power of fire he chose Mars to have it and take care of it. So, Mercury declared war. Luzino. Being the devil of the angels removed the power from the sun and transfered it to him. He is the sun of the west. He reigned for almost 25 thousand years making everyone suffer. The kingdom of Mars did not dare fight for the Miraclaes is not yet born. That is when my mother Light created the Pendant. With the supervision of God he placed the pendant somewhere in Earth and Apoy spent his whole life searching for it. "

" Who's Apoy ? "

" Eh? You don't know him ? Are you sure ? "

" No. "

" Oh. That silly creature. He is the one with you all along. He is the mighty Prince of the kingdom of Mars. He is the brave one. "

" That creature. "

" Yes. Apoy. When he found the pendant when you were already born. Knowing the consequences of being the Miraclaes, he did not gave it to you hand in hand. He gave it to your father leaving him bewildered about it. Your father loved you more than he loves himself. "

" What happened to Luzino ? " I tried to avoid talking about my father. I feel like an idiot not about only thinking for myself.

" Good question, Michelle. Well, he followed you and tried to stop you. "

" Secretly ? "

" No. You know who he is. "

" Who ? "

" Fortune. "

My mind suddenly stopped. The sound of Fortune's filthy name makes all the things about saving the universe disappear. He reminds of the life I didn't want. Of all the suffering I caused everyone around me. My fist tightened by the ugly thought of him. Liberty held my hand and placed it in her cheek.
