Play the Game

Chapter 4- Sovian

I was in my lab, my PERSONAL lab and my mother walks in as if she built all the equipment. She started yelling about, well I don’t even know.

“Sovian you ungrateful brat, why can’t you be smarter” my mom spits in my face

“What do you mean! I built all this from scratch metal! What do you need me to build it out of DUST PARTICLES OR SOMETHING” I yelled. At that, my mother slapped me.

“Don’t you yell at me” she snarled

"Your just scared becase I make useful things while all you do is fuck around in that lab of yours" I say so sharply I can feel the venom dripping off my teeth.

"I swear Sovian you better shut up and come home to clean the house of your stupid mess"

Oh well now I know why I'm in trouble.

"I am making a chemical compound that can make water makers be able to create ice as well"

"That's impossible you idiot"

"Its only impossible to the imbiciles who can't open their thick skull of theirs, I'm almost nearly done as well. The water shooting out of my hands is a couple degrees from freezing point"

"Were is this compound"

"Why sould I tell you"

At this she created a bubble of water and holds it over my face

"Were. Is. The. Compound"

She keeps the bubble on my face for a few moments until I'm scratching at my throat for air. She releases the bubble and I'm left on the ground choking and sobbing. It's a fun little game she likes to play called "how much can I push my daughter to near death before she gives me what I want. Ive only passed out 3 times before, and I never get an apology. She always wins.  I get up and give her the test tubes I keep in a private vault in my lab. She walks out without a backwards glance.

I’m done, I’m not going to be humiliated constantly. So I’m leaving. I'm gonna  leave in silence. I enter my room and grab a bag. I only grab the essentials, my hacking tools, a few clothes, and a bit of food and water, along with a few of my new mini weapons, which is a new prototype I've been developing.

I slowly make my way to the window cell. I sit hanging my legs out. I concentrated trying to make a stairwell of sorts out of the water I’m still not good at my power because I use most of my energy into my science experiments. Eventually, there was a strong enough stream of water to safely glide down the middle but that is just the first obstacle.

Yender was extremely difficult to leave as we are the most intelligent colony. Not like those disgusting Tarents who steal and cheat in their own colony, those rats. Or those  Selvian’s, the brainless twats obsessed with your military ignoring their people. With us, we are intelligent, we can keep our people safe. That just makes it hard to leave and that’s all I want to do.

I slowly make my way to the outer gates I took my hacking gear and plugged it into the wall. Since everything here is so technical it takes me a solid half hour to break through their protection to access the controls. After I unlocked the gates and I was successfully out of Yender and I’m terrified.

Us Yenders are superior. We are genetically smarter than those other colonies. The founder of Yender found a way to create our whole colony in a snap. Within a couple of days, our colony had lots of prosperity and thriving. We lived in harmony with the Render’s for years until all of the Mindfucks rebelled and created their own colony. Most of the Mindfucks have been killed now. They only remain in Selvian and only a handful in Tarent. Both of the colonies have been able to aquire more people of different magic but they should still be ashamed of themselves. We never liked those mindfucks, they could see into our heads and take our ideas and claim them as their own. About 80 years ago the council decided to take the rest of the mindfucks and put them into a separate place in Yender, far away from everyone else. Most of the mindfucks rebelled with their leader who was named Drougen. He was a very powerful mindfuck and caused more casualties than the war itself caused. He managed to escape the Yender army and form Seliva, which later formed Tarent.

Its honestly a miracle we have not won that stupid war yet. If Mother were not such a bitch I could help out. I like to spend most of the time in the lab while creating weapons for us to use. Mom never lets me submit anything for the war, she always says “your just a child!”. She is only scared because I might be smarter than her. My mother is one of the smartest scientists in Yender. She was the one that found the chemical composition for skient, which got sold to the other colonies by a insider. My father is undetermined. My mom just got laid by a bunch of different dudes and got stuck with me. Oh jeez, family issues, so sad. I know it doesn't sound like a big issue but my mother is a complete bitch who never wanted me in the first place, so there is really nothing I can do to please her.

I can already start to imagine the realization set into my mothers face that I’m gone and I won't return. I can see a big smirk on her face as she starts selling my creations for fame and publicity.

                     

I’ve been wandering around the exile territories a lot over the past few days. Still alive somehow. As my mother would say
“The land outside of Yender if full of murders. Never go and you will live”

I can still hear her monotone voice ringing in my ears.It was so annoying I hated every minute of her boring speech’s but she’s not wrong I did get jumped once a couple of hours after I left. It was a few filthy Geothermers. They were dumb as all hell probably and from Selvia. Well, correction they tried to jump me I got away before any real damage was done. Now I continue my way to the outskirts of the forest. I stop dead in my tracks when I   a voice.

“So what are you doing out her brawny” the voice was questionably playful I peeked out for the bush where I was hiding. I immediately recognize her as a Tarent they live father south so their much tanner then Selvian. A Yender would never be dumb enough to be in the open talking, especially loudly. I hear another voice, but I can't quite hear what they are talking about. I hear about the other girl called “brawny” talking about a stone that can revive people. I grow a bit dizzy as reality sets in. She is talking about the stone of restoration! How could she have found it, we have been looking for it for years! I need to get the stone.

I quickly made my decision I climbed up the nearby trees and tried to jump on the redhead to tackle her. As I jumped she turned around and kicked me full in the face. I hit was an unsettling thud. I don’t know how she saw me coming but I can’t move. I heard where some exasperated sentences from the two people.

“god fucking damnit! how did you know she was there Spitfire, you nearly gave me a fucking heart attack”

“ body heat” the girls I suppose is spitfire said simply “ it's a kind of fire if you are skilled enough to track it you can do it pretty damn well, I got sight of her a few days ago and has been tracker her ever since"

“Well don’t  just stand around help me tie her”

“Make her go to sleep”

I can see my vision going black and the last thing I see is a pair of glowing blue eyes and I start to feel sleepy. The stone…. I need to get that fucking stone.

Then everything went black
