“My patience is growing thin Lotusa,” shouted Jade as she whipped him constantly on his back making his flesh bleed from the hitting, while he was hanging in between the two orbs. He had grown thin as he hung and constantly getting tortured by Jade, as she tried to extract the information she wanted.
Marks and cuts along with flesh wounds covered his entire body, his pain was unbearable but he never said a word, he knew what the consequences would be if he did.
He had tried to knock Jade and his men to fight back, however, they always got the better and he suffered more than normal because of it and becoming weaker did not help.
Now he waits for death, it was the only hope he had, the hope of not feeling the pain. His head bobbed as he tried to keep his strength going as his body started to feel numb, however, the more time went on the more weaker he became.

‘Please let me die, I am of no use to her!’ he said to himself exhausted from the torture. “How the hell do you keep from screaming!?” Jade shouted as his lack of screaming frustrated her as she walked to the wall and punched it out of anger. She pulled back her hair in anger ripping small pieces out due to her hardness and threw the wipe across the floor, “you have the most stubborn attitude I have ever seen.”
She stepped away from the wall and put her hands on her back and bent it as it started aching her and pointed to one of the guards, “you here now!” The guard standing next to the door walked over feeling indifferent due to her attitude, knowing she was not in a good mood, “yes madam?” he said.
“Keep whipping him till he talks,” she turned and walked towards the door, “and tell if he does speak, anything?”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvnFYkeQDO
Jade walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her while the other guard stood watching Lotusa like a hawk. The guard whipping him walked from side to side trying to intimidate him, however, he lost interest as he could hardly open his eyes let alone seeing the guard walking.
Lotusa grunted some words to the guard looking to the human side, “please help me?!” Lotusa passed out before he could end his sentence and the guard stepped up and slapped his face but Lotusa was already out cold. The guard shrugged his shoulders as he did not care and waited for Jade to return, but part of him felt concerned because of the response that Jade might have.
The orbs holding up Lotusa surged electricity through his body, collecting his data and storing it on computer and the guard then reset it an hour later and that’s how Lotusa carried on.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJOUfw4Vfy
The guards role was to watch Lotusa and report any unusual behaviour, however, they did so because of how frightened they were of Jade, not because they wanted to do the job itself. A number of hours past and Lotusa was still hanging on to life but barely as his body now went into shock from head to toe. The guard stepped over thinking he was trying to communicate but became worse when he stepped over and he stepped back thinking this was not normal.
The guard went to the door and wanted to alert Jade but before he could he heard the sound of electricity behind him and as he turned a bolt of lighting came out of Lotusa.
The bolt went straight to the guard and pinned him to the wall, hanging him upside down off the floor like a rag doll. The bolt pulsated repeatedly in to the guard like bullets from a shotgun for some time and then it stopped. The guard fell to the floor and died on impact, instantly

Jade saw the whole thing unfold from the monitors room and saw the screen light up as though something had affected the monitor. When the light had gone, Lotusa was no where to be seen. Jade ran as fast as she could to the cell, screaming for Sens men to follow her fro protection. However, when she arrived and kicked the door down, Lotusa had vanished. Not trace was found, it was like he had never been there in the first place.
At first Lotusa lay still on the floor in darkness as he recovered from the pain he had endured. After some time, he woke slowly and stood as he did he saw he was in this darkness that was so dark he could not even see his own hand.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r7aNhSADh
In confusion he started to walk but felt like he was not moving as he could not see where he was going, in full health or so that’s how it felt.
His thoughts wondered here as there was nothing round, it was just darkness. At one point he actually thought he was dead as none of this was making sense, a minute ago he was on deaths door, now he was here in full health and felt as though no pain had occurred.
He decided to shout out, “hello, is anybody there?” he screamed and did so again but louder. After a little while a females voice could be heard but was no where to be seen, “please there is no need to shout!” He looked round frantically hoping to see someone but again here was nothing, “wha. . what, who’s there?” he shouted.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnOHJm92mZ
Instinctively, he went to grab his sword but soon realised he had no weapons, “calm down will you. It is your sister Yukinira?” The voice echoed within the darkness “where are you and how do I even though this is real?” he shouted toward his sister who seemed to sound like was everywhere.
“Please let me talk, I do not have much time so you have to listen to what I am about to say?” Yukinira said with a hint of quickness in her voice.
“Okay fine I am listening,” replied Lotusa who really was not sure of where he was or why he was here and even if this voice was Yukinira. “This was the only way I could communicate with you being so far away. I know who we are and what we need to do?” said Yukinira.
“What do you mean?” he said and started to pace back and forth, even though he felt that was a complete waste of time. “I cannot explain to much now but trust me when I sat we are coming for you okay, just hanging there a little while longer.” The voice stopped and spoke again, “I have done the first part for you, the rest is up to you!” Lotusa looked in to the darkness and wondered what she meant.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47MqTXZNd2
“Oh yes of course, please be careful okay?” Her voice faded from the darkness and from Lotusa.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJCT9qq5U5
Pcillin flew round Yukinira who was in the yoga stance and hovered over her, “well done you did it!” Yukinira slowly came out of her trance and stood and shook of the excitement over achieving what she did and stared at Pcillin.
“All you have to do now is wait and hope Lotusa does his part?” Pcillin flew back on to the table, “I will go and give him a helping start, I will be back!” With that Pcillin faded from sight and in to nothing while Yukinira stayed behind to hone her skills as a Mirocon.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7A1Hq6jDD
Lotusa found himself standing in the cell, not hanging between the orbs but on foot, looking over to the guard that was dead, with no recollection of what had happened apart from his sister talking to him.
“What the hell happened?” he said as he looked down and saw that despite how ill he looked he did feel good health wise.
He stepped near the wall and looked at himself and noticed the sparkle in his eyes, which he had never seen before. This sparkle was the inner Mirocon, the power that came out when in survival mode till it was not needed, hence why the he felt great. In fact the power increased strength, and mental awareness around him. He closed his fist in anger over the thought of what Jade had done, that clearly was in command from Sen.
Lotusa became angry and thought, they will pay for this!
Suddenly his body tingled and strength rose inside his muscles and his muscular tone came back like someone pumped power in to his body.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVeTq7lgIh
He stepped over to the door and waited for someone to turn up as he knew for sure this place was being watched. The cells door moved slightly open and so Lotusa kicked the door down and crashed it to the other side of the halls wall.
He stepped out expecting a guard or at least some one laying on the ground but there was no one to seen and so he wondered if the dream he thought he had was real and Yukinira indeed do her part.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZYmpnezq7
However there were two guards already dead on the hall way laying there as though they had been there for hours. He thought about the darkness and how the voice to Yukinira was saying to about she had done her part and so was convinced that whatever it was, it was helping, “so maybe it was here that is helping me!” he wondered.
He walked a few yards down the hall way and saw this room open, he stepped in cautious and expected at least something to go wrong and saw this large room. He glared in and thought about how he did not recognise this room which got him thinking about Sen and how little he knew about him, even after years being with him.
He thought of the machine and how it had been the one that tortured him, it was strange how that came to be. Originally the machine was built to find out gaps in people memory, hence why he brought Yukinira here but Sen had some how reconfigured it to hurt people. He was supposed to find a way to find the Mirocons but it failed, all it did was to download his memories, thoughts and capabilities to Sen.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLiCYnB0Iw
He knew what the Mirocons were and what they wanted from Yukinira and himself and what they had to do if they followed the Mirocons way. He knew that they had blocked his memories, including that of Yukinira but finding her was the key because with out her the whole idea of them finding the Mirocons were pretty slim.
He himself had memoires that he could not reach, which he had hoped the machine would recover but did not. Every time he felt the memory coming back it suddenly disappeared as though something did not want it getting out.
The fact was, he worried about his sister more than himself, his father abused him back when he was a child while training so a few weeks torture meant nothing to him. The reason for finding his sister in the first place was to kill her, he thought that she was part of the problem but when they met in the tavern that fateful day things changed.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrItLt3OlrP
He never had the heart to kill her, his only fleshly sister living, as far as he was concerned anyway. So in time over the course of the days events at the tavern, killing turned in to protection over her as he thought she knew nothing. He was puzzled about how Yukinira who seemed to know nothing now was in control and wondered what had happened when he got captured and where Sen took her. One thing he knew for sure that she now was helping and so guilt over what he had done turned in to puzzlement.
He stepped back in to the hallway as nothing was in the other room and saw the place trashed but what looked like claw marks across the wall, huge dents as though things were thrown about. Glass was everywhere as lights had shattered along with them flickering given off this creepy feel to the place.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IEc9UkKDk
The circumstances now worried Lotusa, at first he thought that Yukinira had helped, obviously by the conversation he had within the darkness. However now the whole place was turned upside down, and the question he had in mind was, ‘who the hell could have done this? Let alone who powerful they were.
He moved along the hallway slowly crunching on the glass as he did and stopped near a claw mark on the wall to examine it.
He ran his fingers along the claw mark in the wall, I wonder what animal did this?” he said to himself as his fear of the animal could be lurking round any corner.
He continued down the hall and could smell burning as parts of the building was on fire and in the distance in the darkness down the corridor he saw something glittering white blue.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2fpPwMf5o
He got closer and picked it up from the floor, it was hard as rock but paper thin, he turned it round and thought, my goodness, this has come from a dragon? He dropped the scale on the floor as he heard a crashing sound from behind one of the doors. He walked up to the door and placed his ear to it but felt that the building round him blurred so he wondered if it was he machine had got in to his head. He shook his head and tried to forget about it, but this time heard a buzzing sound. It sounded like the sound of a buy flying round his head, so he slowly opened the door knob and peered round.
He was taken back by this small man hovering in front, wearing dark red trousers that bulged at the side with a long white cloak and a stick that seem to big for him.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNiEXeNjlC
There was nothing else in the room so he pushed the door wider to get a better view. The room was square and creamed coloured along with some rubbish piled in to the corner, it looked like someone had been living here at some point. Suddenly a memory came back to Lotusa, “its you?!” he said excitedly and smiled as he saw a good old friend to be by his side.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9cb7r5qfS
The creature was quick to move and so when he heard Lotusas voice he flew back up to where the door was where he was standing, “you can actually hear and see me?” Lotusa was perplexed over what had happened to his friend all those years back, “why yes, of course I can see you why?” he said in response as the small creature looked excited over the face he was here.
The little man flew up to Lotusas nose and hugged him, “I’m so glad you can see me. After all those years following you around and not being able to interact, it was hard.” The little creature flew off his nose and on to the door frame where behind Lotusa. Lotusa was confused because he had thought the creature had just disappeared because he had never forgot about him.
“I’m glad to see you my friend, especially in this hell hole but why do you look so surprised, I have always known you, you know that?” replied Lotusa.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaEqZ38boX
Lotusa walked over to the pile of rubbish and gazed upon it hoping to find something he could use that could help him. The creature flew off the door frame and on to Lotusas shoulder, “I will explain but first how much do you actually remember?”
“To be fair I thought I could remember everything as the block never worked on me, or so I thought?” Lotusa said and bent down to pick up something shiny.
“Oh really, if that is the case, how did you get here then? On this planet?” said the creature who was the same type of imp and race as Pcillin, the one Yukinira had. Lotusa became sad because he could not answer the creatures question and so he began wondering what else he could not remember.
Devout the little creature flew towards the door, “Lotusa. That block in your mind worked because apart from me, what else do you remember?” Lotusa thought for a second and it was true, he remembered only Devout, everything else came from that machine, “ha, you always know how to get me don’t you.” Lotusa said as he walked to the door and threw the metal piece to the floor.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpIJDd1DUz
“Come one, lets get out of here, this place is giving me the willies!” remarked Devout as Lotusa opened the door. “Okay that’s fine, I am happy to leave but first, something is bothering me?” Devout in mid air turned to face Lotusa, “yes?” he said.
“If I can remember you and you have been around this whole time why is it that, its only now I can see you?” Lotusa tried making sense of the whole thing but he could not. He thought that things would pick as regards finding the Mirocons and how to destroy them but after finding his sister, circumstances changed and he struggled with that.
“When you passed out on that machine, did you by any chance see something that you cannot explain?” said Devout as he knew what had happened.
Lotusa thought for a second or two and before answering, “now that you mention it I did wonder if what is saw and heard was real. I swear I could have heard Yukiniras voice talking to me about carrying on and they doing their part.” Lotusa thought about the conversation and many questions needed answering.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeikHTSFxgP
“Obviously you know that Yukinira too was hooked up to that machine right?!” Devout speaking while on Lotusas shoulder. Lotusa suddenly felt sad, “yer of course, I brought her here so she could remember but boy was I wrong in that!”
“When I got here with Sen at the time, he told me to wait as I could not be round while she went through the machine,” Lotusa felt angry, “and I just let her go, just like that!” He grabbed Devout in his hand and looked at him, “then after being held captive, I was told she had died.” He hit his foot on the floor, “then I find out she was talking to me as though she knew everything, it was very frustrating.”
Devout flew out from his grip and out of the room and gestured to Lotusa to follow him, “don’t worry about it, it was all part of the plan anyway.” Lotusa became puzzled as he stepped out into the corridor, “what the hell do you mean by that?” 198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkA9H3oNk8
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC3taPRVPR
“Yukinira knew everything way before you, she knew about the Nacbals and her role heck she even became part of them at one point to get inside information.” Lotusa gestured with anger, “so you telling me I went through all what I had endured just to find out that this was all part of the plan.”
Devout patiently allowed Lotusa to his feelings, “hold on a second, calm down. I know this was all part of the plan but...” Lotusa interrupted Devout.
“You keep saying that but not telling why, the Nacbals are the ones who have betrayed us back home right?”
“Yes I understand that but we had no choice, we need them for our survival and so we used them to our advantage and used Yukinira to do that. We will meeting up with them when we get out of here.”
Despite the frustration in Lotusa, Devout felt nice that he could talk to him after not being able to for so long, even Lotusa felt good about talking to his friend.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzlNO9do0I
They carried on down the hall and heard this strange noise in the background but after realising it was just part of the building falling apart they moved on again.
“I had in a way figured out about Yukinira back at the tavern to be fair but what else was there as you said it was part of the plan?” Lotusa did trust Devout as he as a very dear old friend of his but something did not add up, he tried understanding the situation but could not connect the dots.
Devout was a well trusted imp within his people, even towards Lotusa he knew he would not lie but he would if it meant there was something going on and that bothered him.
“It did not all go according to plan because Yukinira failed to know who the old lady was, the one who was looking after her.”
Lotusa looked to the ceiling in remembering the conversations he had with his sister back at the tavern. “So we used telepathy instead but again that failed, so we were at a loss. The problem was she got in to deep with Sen and so when we knew you were on the verge in finding her we allowed the situation to ride as it was and hence why we all in this problem now!”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gE1VR74m
Nothing was said for some time as Devout could not explain any more than what he did as Lotusa racked his mind stupid to understand. Lotusa along with Devouts helps realised that Yukinira was the one who could have sorted it out but because she knew to much and got to involved with Sen, she in a sense played everybody at the same time.
Lotusa and Devout needed to get out of this place before it was to late and so he decided to leave the questioning for what it was at the moment and concentrated on how to find a way out. “Shh,” whispered Lotusa to Devout and wondered what it was as h picked up a piece of glass from the floor, “can’t you hear that?”
“Hear what, I am only little Lotusa, I cannot hear like you?” After some time Devout hear what Lotusa was hearing, sounds of roaring and thudding as they slowly moved down the hall. They stopped at the end of the corridor and he peered round the corner of the shut door and he dropped the glass in shock as all he saw was the land outside.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwPKJcnbyr
The building was completely destroyed, it was wiped out and all what was left was rubble and parts of the walls from the building and landscape.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAlSst4kVK
Suddenly a pure white dragon came flying past almost knocking him to the floor, gushing fire out from its mouth and landed just yards away in front. Lotusas eyes widened as he moved to the open and saw this dragon in front fearing for his life but also excited too. He had known what the Mirocons looked like, he had researched them for years before now but to actually see on in person was a shock of his life, almost could not believe his own eyes.
Devout knew what and who this was, but said nothing as he sat on Lotusas shoulder who spoke, “I was about to say what happened here but I think I just found the answer out!” he said in joking sarcasm. Devout flew off from Lotusa he saw him talking to the dragon but could not hear no words, just the nodding of heads.
Lotusa stood there watching Devout talking to the dragon as nothing, his mind wondered over what else Devout knew that he never told him about.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37UA0ZBAuy
He realised after standing and watching for some time that the dragon would not hurt him as its wings fluttered from time to and snorted to him as he walked towards them as his hairs on his arms stood on end.
“So this is what the Mirocons look like then, interesting, I must say!” said Lotusa looking at this creature in front and with hard scales that shone when light hit it.
Lotusa stepped forward, memorised by the creature, “go on!” replied Devout who encouraged Lotusa to touch the dragon. Lotusa with fear in his eyes but felt a strange connection he did not understand and touched the nostril of this dragon and pulled back slowly as the skin felt like a snake.
It was getting dark and most of the buildings out side lights had been destroyed so the dragon turned its head and gushed out fire on to a pile of rubble and rubbish and the it flamed up giving them light.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO0sDxTu6W
Lotusa walked over to the edge of the platform to get his head straight over this amazing circumstances but more to feel that this was actually happening after so long in search for them and laughed, “Lotusa we need to go now, before its too late.” Devout flew near Lotusa and saw him laughing over this, “Devout please tell me what is going on?”
Devout had no idea in how to explain any of what has happened, it was the way it was and to put it in to words was something he was never any good at. He looked to the floor thinking and the dragon noticing thudded the floor repeatedly.
Lotusa jerked over the dragons foot as it shook the platform slightly and roared without the fire and the birds in the area chirped and flew off startled. The dragons eyes started to flicker faster and faster, its skin started to soften and change colour and started to shrink as Lotusa watched in awe.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0FWMHfwNb
A bright light started to form round the dragon with pulses of light shooting out in all directions, that could be seen by miles. Suddenly the light became smaller and Pcillin flew out of the what light was left. Devout flew over excited and kissed Pcillins hand, “man I am glad to see you and that never gets old!” as Pcillin smiled to see her old friend.
Pcillin smiled and was glad to him but more important matters were at stake and she ignored the rest of his conversation, which Devout understood. Pcillin looked at Devout, “we do not have long. Others would see what had just happened and we don’t want unnecessary questions yet!” She let go of Devouts hand and flew towards Lotusa who was standing, gormless almost watching the scene unfold before his very eyes.
Lotusa soon came to understand how little he knew of the Mirocons, he did know they were powerful and the imps were guardians but how far they interlinked was a mystery.
He knew the imps were linked to the dragons but did not know they were the ones who changed in to the dragons and after years of searching he still knew less than ever before but felt very honoured to witness the change of one.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz2e2IYO4T
Lotusa looked at both Devout and Pcillin and could say the only thing he could at the time, “amazing, I did not know you were the ones who changed in to these wonderful creatures.” Lotusa in some sense expected an answer but they both looked at each other and knew this question for now should be avoided as it was the wrong time.
Devout flew over to Lotusa waving his little hands in front, “I know you have a lot of questions but we cannot do this here, others might have seen what has happened and we need to leave now!” Lotusa wanted an explanation so he insisted in getting an answer.
Devout sighed, as he knew the explanation would make no sense to him yet but nevertheless he did so anyway. “I am not going to stand here and explain something that will not make any sense whatsoever but this is Pcillin and she is yours sisters guardian and is here to take you to her but we need to leave now and quick!”
Devout paused and looked at Pcillin and said, “plus none of this is real!” Lotusa turned to face Devout wondering what he had just said but Pcillin pushed him out of the way. She hovered in front of him and clicked her fingers, “wake up, now!”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2VgoW2FI0
Lotusa woke, his eyes sore due to the nightmare he felt he had. He sat and Saw that he was laying on a stone slab held up by other smaller stones underneath with stone pillars wound in a circle with fire lanterns on them.
“what the hell, where the hell am I?” Lotusa said as he sat there on the stone slab which felt cold to through his clothing. He looked round and thought about where he was as it felt familiar but could not quite place it and wondered how he got here in a blink of an eye.
Devout flew round in front of him, startling him, “Hey how do you feel? Sorry that was a bit weird, we had not done that for some time so we were worried it would not work so we did not tell you just in case.”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoZky3DqPN
Lotusa smiled because he saw his friend in front, “yes but where are we? I do feel like I know this place but I don’t know why?!” He looked round the area and noticed it was dark and the place was lit by the fire lanterns which was strange to him as the light only showed the place they were in and no where else. Lotusa turned and stood, while Pcillin made herself known again.
“Let me try and explain this, everything you have seen from the tavern down to the cell you was in was not real?” Lotusa looked puzzled as he gave this stare to wards her and just squinted his eyes, “right?!” he said not believing a word.
“Well Sen, Jade and your father was real but you was not, you was, lets say a mirror of yourself!” added Pcillin. “What?” Lotusa remarked, “so I was not real but they were, that makes no sense?” Pcillin and Devout looked at each other and laughed, “you will in time?” Pcillin suddenly flew up a few yards in the air and pointed up and light pulsated out of her hands towards the night sky.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdIpfWcB0
Lotusa looked in amazement, “so what is she doing?” he said to Devout. “She is indicating to Yukinira where we are.” Lotusa looked up and the light went on for miles in to the night sky.
Yukinira on the other side of the light, put away the dragon symbol and knew they had retrieved Lotusa. He was back, the moment she was waiting for.” Her heart pounded like drums beating as she looked over the cliff face towards the night sea water with the wind blowing.
Pcillin had taught her the power of transforming her body in to the dragon state even though it was impossible for the humans to do so. Yukinira were the only ones of the human side to be able to change form, it was in their blood due to being heirs, a jealousy of many round them.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMqj9j2fLN
She had been taught for months while they trying to get Lotusa out of the dream state but even now standing here looking at the sea water move she felt the training was not enough.
Time in this world worked different, to Yukinira she had been hear for well over a year, however to Lotusa it was only a matter of weeks before he came. She was eager to seeing her brother, eager in telling him the things she had been taught and seen. Things that humans could never understand, the power she had reached and the information about their family was exciting stuff and she was in a hurry to leave.
She felt the nerves running through her as she stepped closer to the edge, knowing that this was going to be the first on her own.
She looked out to the night sky clear as it is and started forming her Chi inside her body just like she was taught. She spread out her fingers and her arms out to the side her of. She slowly started muttering her peoples language that only she knew and slowly walked of the cliff.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYwJa4fVUG
She fell head long for the water which felt exhilarating but she was relaxed as she started to flicker her eyes and they turned in to the dragons counter parts eyes. Her skin started changing colour to a white blue tone, then became scaly and smooth at the same time.
Her arms turned and merged in to wings that formed from the back of her spine. Just before she hit the water her body transformed in to her counter part dragon and she flew up skimming the water with her feet and flew straight across the water as though she had always been one, in to the direction of her brother with fire gushing out of her nostrils.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61bYFE20V3
Lotusa had now started regaining his strength and stood from the stone slab and stretched his back and moved it from side to side, “man I feel stiff!” he said standing in one spot gazing round hoping to see something familiar.
However, nothing did and so he just stood waiting to see what would happen next. Devout flew over, “try not to worry Lotusa, you will remember eventually. It is normal to feel the way you do.” Devout spoke but Lotusa could tell he was feeling guilty about something because he knew what was going on but was forbidding to do anything about it.
Devout gazed at Lotusa and was upset about hurting his dear friend, “I am sorry Lotusa, I should have least warned you this was going to happen, I am sorry!” Lotusa held out his hands and he flew on to them with his head down, “look at me Devout!”
Devout looked up but was not encouraged to do so, “Look I was in a bad way back there. I would not be around if it were not for you guys.” Devout listened and felt reassured.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCpMbbOH7M
“Yes but I. . .!” responded Devout again mentioning how bad he felt, however, Lotusa, even though he felt bad, had no ill will towards him. “No buts Devout, you have been my friend for as long as I can remember but if it makes you feel better then I forgive you.” Devout put him on his shoulder and started walking to a large stone with a fire lantern on it and looked at the writing.
Lotusa touched the stone and admired the writing knowing he had seen it before and looked down to his pendant and it had the same writing on the outside. Suddenly the weather became dark and cloudy, then a gush of wind went passed Lotusa and flew Devout of his shoulder.
When he turned to see if he was okay, Devout was hovering over in the air looking up in to the night sky.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLziGqWOl
Lotusa walked over a few yards to ask if he was fine and see for himself what Devout what looking for, then Picillin came over rubbing her hand knowing this was Yukiniras moment that she had been waiting for. “Oooo I am so happy that she has been able to achieve this transformation!” said Picllin but Lotusa looked puzzled over this, “what the heck is going on here?” he remarked wondering what was going on.
“You will see in a second, just keep watching the sky!” Picillin could not hold in her excitement in as the last time she felt this was when Lotusas and Yukiniras father done the same things years back.
Picllin flew behind the stone slab knowing what was coming, “you might want to step back!” shouted Picillin to Lotusa with Devout now on his shoulder.

The The wind picked up a lot and he held his hand over his eyes as bits in the wind flew across the area, while feeling the excitement of Devout. Devout and Picillin became very twitchy and Lotusa just kept staring in the sky but could see nothing, “this is exciting, your sister is coming!” said Devout and looked at Picillin who then started getting jumpy.
“What, where?” responded Lotusa who searched the area for is sister but not realising it was not on the ground that he needed to be looking.
“Oh its not on the ground you should be looking, it is up there?” said Picillin, which confused Lotusa, “what do you mean?”
Lotusa was not excited as the imps because he never had the knowledge they did, even Yukinira felt this was when she arrived but now she knew and it was Lotusas turn. Lotusa looked up again but in a sense of how pointless this was and suddenly this huge creature came soaring passed almost knocking Lotusa to the ground, cutting the air like a blade.

Lotusa eyes wide and mouth open flabbergasted at the sight, “you can’t tell me that is Yukinira surely?” Picillin flew up away from the stone slab as she saw Yukinira coming, “oh yes, she is here!” Yukinira looked down towards Lotusa below and she wanted to show off so she flew straight down and passed Lotusa and skimmed her scaly body across the top of his head. He turned quickly in her direction as she flew up into the night sky again and was in awe seeing how she had achieved such feet, while checking his head fro cuts but nothing.
Yukinira then flew to a stop in front of them and hovered in the air just feet of the ground and just to show she was in control she blew out a stream of fire form her nostrils. The fire blew across the floor in front of Lotusa and the two imps like a stream of water burning the floor as it did. After which she stopped and fell to the ground and her feet hit the ground with a thud shaking the ground.
Devout flew off Lotusas should and followed Picillin to the dragon counter part of Yukinira whom was covered by this huge white light that lit the area.

Lotusa followed them both but at a distance with Devout, while Picillin got just yards away from her. Picillin was her guardian and so the link allowed her to see though the light to give her assistance telepathically. Lotusa got closer despite Devouts warning but he could not resist the temptation and saw this female figure through the light as it became less bright. “Lotusa wait?” said Devout.
Lotusa ignored him which was unusual considering Devout was his guardian, but part of him wondered if it was Yukinira at all so he needed to know. Yukinira finally transformed back in to her human form and Picillin flew straight on to her shoulders and said in to her ear, “I am so proud of you!”
Yukinira walked slowly to Lotusa and he saw the her hand change back in to her human form, the last part of her body to change back and he knew then she was his sister.

He started to run towards her finally seeing her alive after thinking she was dead this whole time, his heart raced and the joy was to much to contain as she also ran to him. This was a moment in history between all the heirs of the Mirocons and their guardians, a moment that will not be forgotten quickly as Pcillin looked at Devout hovering watching the brother and sister embrace.
“At last we are all back together.” said Picillin.
Yukinira hugged tight and then looked at him up and down as he looked like his former self, “Lotusa my brother, what has happened. I am so sorry I could not help earlier than what I did!” Yukinira had been waiting to say this for months, it had drove her mad while training and having the comforts he did not while being captured and now her mind was clear.

Lotusa looked at his sister and she looked amazing, “do not worry my sister. We are here now together and I must say whatever you done while you were, its working!” he said as Yukinira blushed. Lotusa got excited and gestured towards the sky, “and what you did just, wow, out of this world!”
Lotusa gave a look to Yukinira, “can you tell me what is going on because, out of all the years I have been in search of the Mirocons I don’t think I know what happening right now?”
Yukinira smiled, “come on, we need to go, we have a lot to talk about?” she said as Devout and Picillin followed behind chatting away to themselves remembering old times. As they walked out of the sacred ground they all stopped and bowed towards it but Lotusa did not as he did not understand why.

It started to become morning and light started forming in the air as life could be heard in the background form the animals as they walked down a stone path away from the stone ruins, which to go on forever. As the day broke, Lotusa noticed that they were walking on the edge of a cliff with the sea next to them ruff by the wind hitting the rocks.
“So where are we going sis, you seem to know where we going?” Fairly put he was not concerned about where he was, he travelled for years before meeting Yukinira and that was not the issue. He just had many questions about what was going on and why. He was happy for Yukinira and how she grabbed the chance to be herself, however it did anger him slightly over how she had known a lot more than she pretended to know.

Yukinira knew she needed to explain circumstances to him and why she did what she did but how to was a different story. She turned to face him while walking, “we are going home, our real home that is. And be prepared for some challenges along the way.”
Fighting was one thing he never worried about, his father trained him to be a skilled fighter. It was his past he was never taught, he learnt more about who he was after he grew than when he was younger. Lotusa followed along not really knowing anything at all, talking to Devout about his feelings as the companions would do so. He wanted to feel he was home but he never recognised any of it as they continued down along the road.
He thought back to his past himself and the travels he had been on before and how now he thought about it, they all seemed to have a link to this point in time which made him smile.

One question he had in mind the most, was how they said he was in this dream state the whole time. He could not get his head around the idea that everything he felt and touched along with the smells and emotions were just all dreams, fake.
“Yukinira?” shouted Lotusa who turned her face to see what he wanted. “Yes what is it?” she said cold in her voice, which he noticed and wondered how much had she actually changed. “Oh its not much, I just wanted to chat about what happened back at Sens hide out?” They carried on talking as Picillin started a deep conversation with Devout.
“So you really knew what was going on then?” said Lotusa.
“Well sort of, that’s a difficult question that is?” replied Yukinira.
“Why is that then?” he questioned.
“I knew in a sense because I was not surprised to see you when you arrived at the tavern that day?” she said trying her best to make a difficult conversation not so difficult.

“Oh right but I was thinking if you played along with Sen, wouldn’t it be easier just to grab him instead?” he remarked to her.
“No not really because as you know people hate the Mirocons right now so what joy would we get if we make a point to show him!” she explained.
“Yes I have heard those stories about the Mirocons, but how do you know any of them are real?” Yukinira stopped and placed her hand on him, “Listen, I have the same blood as you so I understand how you feel but let me show you something?” They all stopped and Devout said something to Picillin, “this will be interesting hey?” he said to Picillin.

Yukinira looked at her brother, “right I want you to close your eyes.” she said to start. “Now in your mind, pretend you have your heart out in your palm and pay attention to it?” He hesitated, “do you want to know or not? said Lotusa not convinced.
“Then take that worry of your fave face and trust me, please?” she replied. “now look at it and pretend you are reading it and feel the heart beat in your mind.” Again Lotusa did so and for a split second he thought he saw two doors in front of him in his mind, “what the hell is that? He screamed, frightened by what he saw.

“You will get the hang of it because what you saw was your feelings, inside your mind. We view them as books to be written, the difference is we read out though out our lives. They help us to see the decisions we need to make and they are available 24 hours a day, you just need to learn how.”
