" We will talk about this when you get back! "
Kian's mother had just left when the front door almost blasted open.
" He is coming. Where is Mira?"
It was Xen.
It seemed like he had run a million miles but he went straight for her, scooping her off the ground and kissing her in front of them all.
" We need to get her out of here. Kilian is on his way. He is coming with his army. "
Xen turned around at Braze and Kian, as if nothing had happened.
" How did you know that we were here? "
" How does Kilian know? "
The dual accusation came.
Xen signed and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pointed towards his chest.
" I did not know that we could still use this but when Kilian was chasing after my ship and wrecked it into half, my instinct kicked in. I could feel the two of you. And the power of the Staff manifested from my chest. "
Xen pounced over the two of them and grabbed them into a bear hug with both his hands.
" I missed you both! "
His words came out of nowhere.
" So what were you doing? " Guardian Yvonne came forward with a smile at the sight of the happy reunion.
" Kilian is very angry. He might be here any moment. " Xen looked worried.
" But what could he possibly want from Mira? " Kian asked.
They did not have time to discuss that.
The Earth's defense mechanism had significantly weakened because of the influx of the jinns. It was a piece of cake for the Kakaras to swarm effortlessly in.
Layla came huffing and puffing. Apparently, she was done visiting Robert.
" They are here! " She reported.
" The Kakaras are headed this way. You need to get out of here. "
Layla pantsed.
" Quick! Boys, take Mira to the Mountain of Forgetfulness. It is the only place where you will be able to use your maximum strength .
We will hold the line here and distract them as much as possible. Calex, go with the kids. They might need you to make a last minute decision. "
" I will stay as well, my Lord. " Layla volunteered. " Be careful. They are on a killing spree. They are not even shying away from the humans. "
Yvonne walked Mira and kissed her forehead.
" I just want you to know that you are as beautiful as your mother and as pure as well. Always be proud of yourself. It was nice being your Guardian, dear Mira. "
Layla winked at Calex on cue, " It was nice serving you, my Lord. May I get you as my man in my next life, if there is any. "
" Calex, get out of here! " Guardian Yvonne roared as they all felt the tremor of the Kakarian fleet landing. " Martha, I will need you to do something. "
He yelled as Calex left with Mira and the boys.
Kilian blew the entire place up with one powerful and instinctive blast.
" Where are you hiding her, Yvonne? " Came his angry voice from beyond the flames of the blast.
" How low will you stoop Kilian? You ruined your sister's life. Aren't you happy that she is dead? Why are you after the poor girl? Let her live. I cannot possibly wonder what you could still be wanting from her."
Guardian Yvonne was hovering above the ruins of his home and workshop.
Kilian got off from his pod and went straight for Yvonne's throat.
" Don't try me, Yvonne! I am not here to play! Do you think you have the power to stop me? Do you think you can hide her from me just by sending her away? Don't forget that she owes her life to me, my sacrifices. She would long be dead had I not foolishly given up my all and fallen for my sister's tears."
Yvonne scoffed as he unleashed a whip from around his waist.
" You think you can still fool us? I can read right through your lies. Kiara's suspicion about you is now justified. I always had my doubts but she said you were her only family.
I still don't understand why you saved Mira after she was born and sent her to the earth.
Let me guess! Were you like saving her life to use it later?
Honestly, I am still confused. It's not like you can sacrifice her like Calex. You don't share that kind of a bond with her.
Why do you want her so bag, Kilian? "
Yvonne went around him, gauging and calculating.
Kilian finally dropped his act.
" So you knew it all along? My sister always had a poor taste in men. She chose that Calex over you. You are a much smaller one. "
Two Kakarians attacked Yvonne from the back as Kilian kept talking to him but Yvonne easily got rid of them with his fiery lash.
They fell on either side of him like mosquitoes who got knocked off.
Kilian slowly clapped with both his hands, mocking Yvonne's precision.
" Not bad! Not bad at all! It's a shame that you could not stay at Chemora and had to live here as a Guardian. A talent wasted for life. Psst! I feel terrible. "
He laughed.
" You don't need to feel sorry about me Kilian. But if you will, I would like to know what you want with Mira. "
Kilian spared him a sinister laugh.
" Alright. If you insist, it would not harm to divulge my secret to a dying man. "
He said as the Kakarians surrounded him on all sides.
" Fair enough. We will see whether or not your secret is worth taking a life. " Yvonne winked.
Kilian asked his men to stand by as he came closer to Yvonne and grabbed his chin.
" Being too cocky, are we? Don't take me as Calex, the fallen Dark Devil. I don't act upon instincts and emotions. The superior organ gets more priority while decision making, Yvonne. Brain over heart. "
