38 Break Time In The Nursery (2/2)

”Amazing,” I whispered my awe then frowned when I noticed they ended up milling around the bay window of a doll shop.

My heart raced with understanding and pain for the girl.

The girl waved her hand over the scene to stop the toy figures from moving. She stood and went to look at the teddy bears lying on the ground before a bookshelf near the cots.

”A special person.” Saku commented as he joined my side.

”What do you mean?” My heart eased at the sight of her picking up a brown teddy bear to give it a cuddle.

”She has the ability to grant temporary life to innate objects and control them. A unique blend of force and heart cakra magic that is pa.s.sed down through blood lines.” Saku explained.

”Is that why she was dolled?” I gulped.

”No. I do not think the peddler who sold her would have realized, otherwise she would not have been on sale at the doll shop. It was fortunate that Keiran had recognized her traits. Can you imagine what her power can achieve by bringing certain objects to life?” Saku soberly answered.

My thought went straight to the vision of that Sol Saviour device. It made perfect sense why she was rescued by the Order before the Illuminate Group had a chance to claim her.

”Her family were once Magika Leaders for a tribe in Tempra. I had met them occasionally during my travels. So, instantly recognized her lineage by her features.” Keiran confirmed Saku's fact as he sat beside me.

”Were once?” I picked up on the dubious fact.

”Her family were slain during a recent unrest. She was sold into slavery.”

My forehead creased into a deep frown.

”Your white aura has a cloudy red tint. I see you don't appreciate Alina's demise.” Keiran coolly noted.

I faced him with my frown. ”Of course not. I'm mean she's an innocent girl. No one should be enslaved. What girl wouldn't be missing her family? It's no wonder she's not talking.”

He gave me a warm smile and fatherly pat to my head. ”I'm glad to know this.”

He was up and off to talk to Trix on the other side of the room before I had a chance to voice my complaints about not being a kid.

”What?” I shot a look at Saku when I noticed his grin.

”You have a big heart Famine. One filled with a sense of justice. Try not to take on too many worries. Some lives you can not help.” Saku's voice trailed into a distant tone.

I cursed when I felt hands yank me backwards into a tumble.

”Get off me War you git!” I struggled out of his judo hold.

”Getting sloppy Baby Bro.” War chuckled.

”Idiot.” I grumbled and noticed Alina laughing at me. It made me feel better.

Trix finally approached me from the other side of the room with Keiran by his side. He towered over me with a stern expression that made him look like a serious captain.

”Up Famine. Gat s.h.i.+em Brothers, follow me or see yourselves in a labyrinth cell.” He triggered an order with a firm, deep, voice that instantly quietened the entire room.

Oppression was the sudden atmosphere that his voice had caused.

He made for the door and donned his boots without looking back to see if we were following

_”Good luck. Try not to p.i.s.s off Trix more than he is.”_ Wilfred gave me some parting advice in my head.

_”Scary.”_ War s.h.i.+vered in my mind.

_”Yeah. He's one scary guy if you get on his bad side. So, don't get on his bad side.”_ Jensen answered in thought with his advice.

The three of us followed Trix's lead out of the nursery.
