Author's pov will be like this- now onto the story

9,994 years ago. Lumin's pov.

It was a nice day, my mother, father and older brother were with me playing in the field. The field was like a magical place with flowers of every colour. Trees with vines and lower branches to climb to and sit on. A pond where fish would swim beside us and sometimes put on shows to make us happy. It has this aura that makes you feel safe and loved. I love this place since I was the one who found it three years ago when I was seven. I'm ten now.

Me and my brother Zenon (Zee- Non) were in the tree when I felt a new presence enter the secret area. I climbed higher to see who it was. "What are you doing Lumin, get down here before you hurt yourself," Zenon called but I ignored him as I continued to scale the tree.

From the high no one could see me, and I liked that 'I'll have to add this spot in the tree to the book.' I thought. I had this book that I would write places to go to calm down or relax without disturbance.

I remembered why I came up here and looked at the view towards the castle because that's where the presence was approaching from. It took a second for my eyes to adjust to the light from the sun, but after that, I saw a figure walking towards our secret place. Their aura was familiar and I could tell it was a man by that and his figure.

As he got closer I recognized him. It was my uncle, he hardly visited us but we were the best of friends. Every time he was staying he was at our home for a week or two. We would always explore the forest outside the castle, make new creations, bake and so much more. When he was around we were inseparable.

"Hey mama, papa, brother, uncle is here!" I yelled in pure happiness like the small ten-year-old I am. I started to climb down but I stopped when I heard screams coming from the castle and village.

With my curious mind, I wanted to see what was happening, so I climbed higher than before so I could see the castle clearly along with the village.

What I saw I knew would give me nightmares for the rest of my life. I saw fire, everywhere. I listened to the gunshots and the screams of all I knew. The air above it all was pure black with some ships in the sky attacking my only home with purple beams.

I looked down at my family in front of my uncle. I saw they were talking but I didn't get the chance to listen. Within a blink of an eye, my uncle drew his sword and stabbed my father with it.

I was in shock, I couldn't move all I could do was hear the screams of Zenon and my mother as they started to run. But uncle caught up with them too fast. My mom tried to protect my brother but the next thing I knew he stabbed her as well. My uncle turned to Zenon and asked him where I was. He didn't say anything and like both my parents, he was gone. Dead. All while I watched in horror.

After I felt his aura leave the field now stained with the blood and bodies of my family, I climbed down the tree and ran. I couldn't stand the sight of my family, it made me want to vomit. My parents told me that if anything happened to go into a specific ship.

Running around the village to stay away from the fire, fight and my uncle I made my way to the escape ship behind the castle. I went to the control panel and pushed the buttons to make it invisible and start the flight to a safe place. When it began the count down I ran to this tube I was instructed to go in the ship. My mother said it will keep me safe during the ride to the safe place. I hop in and the door to the tube closes just as the ship said one. As soon as the door closed I fell to sleep.

9,994 years later- still Lumin's pov.

I woke up and fell out of the tube, I was confused because it felt like seconds I had been in there. In the ship was galra which I knew since my uncle was one, thinking of my uncle scared me since I was still 10. One of the galra grabbed me and I started screaming at him to put me down. It didn't work. I guess they were annoyed because the next this I saw was black.

8 years later/ now- again still Lumin's pov.

It's been 10,002 years since the day I watched my family die in front of me, my world and home get destroyed and everyone I knew... Dead... It's been that long since I watched my uncle come back as a different person, from loving and caring to evil and merciless. And one that day my ten-year-old self was right about one thing, that sight would haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.
