《Heavenly Goddess》Chapter 5:The delusion breaks.
Advertisement
Wang Yong Meng always thought that life was pretty simple and without any amusement. For him everything had always been very simple and hence devoid of any interest. But the moment that he was encountering just now, it was beyond compare. Why, his little subordinate had just woken up and she was out there on the bloody chase. So, he leaned his back on the cherry tree, sitting above, he could watch the drama quite well. Near the lake stood a majestic cherry tree and two people, One maiden with a dagger and excited expressions while the man was horrified.
“See, there is no use running. In my dreams, things always go as I want them to.”, said the mortal laughing. With a dagger in her hands and a malicious smile over her face, she quite looked a blood thirsty murderer. Suddenly she started running towards Feng Hao. Then she took a big jump, perhaps trying to land the dagger above his head. Right at this moment, her facial expressions changed. Her eyes widened in surprise and her mouth wide open she produced a deafening cry and closed her surprised eyes tightly. That Feng Hao had slipped sideways at the right moment, and now the mortal was about to get dipped in the lake. But what is this? She stopped in mid-air. She felt as if someone was holding her. When she opened her eyes, she could see a beautiful face with a pair of sparkling eyes that were fixated on her. She was in the arms of Yong Meng! How could he have let his little kitten fall into the lake. They were floating in mid-air. Then he drew his face closer to her and asked, “Do you still think it is a dream?” “Y…ye…es”, the mortal was so surprised right now that she could hardly say anything.

“But I think it is not. Let’s see who is right.”, saying this he threw her in the lake.
She landed with a big splash! Her whole body became aware of her surroundings. A ferocious chill went all over her body. And she fully became aware that this not a dream, but the unimaginable reality. But what to do now, she didn’t know how to swim!! She made violent efforts to go up, but in vain. She was losing her breath. If she didn’t do anything now, she’d be buried in that lake forever. ‘I’ll never irritate my mother or tease my younger brother. God, please help me!!!’, she cried in her mind and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt that someone just took hold of her hand. Yong Meng had just arrived in time. He put his hand round her tiny waste and pulled her upwards.
In the next moment, she finds herself lying on the bank. She coughs a little and gets up. “Well, out of the hallucination now?”, asks Feng Hao and chuckles. This chuckle just pierced her nerves, and she finds she is still alive. But more than anything else, this is not a dream???!! ‘But how can such a strange place and such creepy people even exist. Am I inside a drama? No, this is not the case. So, what is? Who are these handsome men? And why am I even here in the first place???’, she clasps her head thinking all this.
“I think now you are sure that you are not dreaming. You might have many questions right now that you are struggling with. But before you begin let’s go back and put some dry clothes on. I don’t know about you, but if you catch a cold, it’ll be very trouble-full for me”, saying this Yong Meng turns around and started walking towards the courtyard with Feng Hao. Then he stopped and said, “You Haven’t moved an inch. Don’t you have legs? Don’t even fancy me carrying you there.”

“What? Does this guy have eyes behind his head?”, she murmured and started following him from a safe distance. It was not like she wanted to follow him, but she had no other choice. She didn’t know where she was o how she got here. So, for now she had to trust this man. She clasped the dagger tightly in her hand thinking that if he tried to cheat her, she’d not let him slip off. Even though Yong Meng had saved her life, she didn’t in the least felt herself indebted to her, because it was him in the first place who had dropped her in the lake, and had just corrected his mistake.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
