《Lost in the Echo》Chapter Thirteen: LIFE IN SANKA
Advertisement
There is a big city like Tokyo or New York, with tall buildings, big billboards everywhere, people in their vehicles bustling here and there. Very busy cities just like any big city on Earth, except for the vehicles were space shuttles, flying jets, peculiar-looking bikes. They were everywhere on the roads and on the air too.
Just like on Earth, there were offices and people were busily working in front of monitors or interface of the monitor projected in the air. Anyway, the sign on the office read ‘Space Control Office’.
A tall woman in office attire with a very confident look was walking while her black stilettos were making clicking noises throughout the hallway. The people on the hallway would have a nervous expression whenever they came across her.
She reaches the end of the hallway to the office of Director of Space Control and knocks on the door.
“Come in”, a middle-aged voice of a man responded.
Inside was a middle-aged man, fairly healthy but stressful look on his face asked, ”what is it?”
“An irregularity was observed around the space of ‘An’ planet system”
“Where exactly in ‘An’ space?”
“We don’t have any satellite coverage for that area. So I can’t be sure where.”
“What? In this day and age, we don’t have coverage. Isn’t that the border of the galaxy?”
“That isn’t my responsibility. The irregularity was mostly around ‘Taiba ‘ planet if we calculate the rotation and revolution. There must have something happened on Taiba”, the woman responded with an indifferent attitude.
“Very well, I’ll send some people for investigation”
The middle-aged man was left deep in thought.
“Taiba, Taiba….Hmmm… Ah! Isn’t that the place where the heavenly dragon was last seen? It can’t be a coincidence.”
A small space shuttle shaped like a flying disk landed on a patch of land. Two fairly handsome young men jumped from the shuttle. They were standing on a road path which leads to a city in sight. Nearby were tall trees which hid their space shuttle.

“I hate this place”, said one of the men
“I’m starting to hate this place too”, said the other men, while holding a tab which was showing an image of the wheel moving and under it was written ‘Loading’.
“Starlink won’t work. We are totally out of coverage area”
“This place is like the stone age. How are the people living here? You have been here before, right Ulnas?”
“Yeah. During, my internship. I was assigned to the security team when Starlink was being installed.”
“You were there. Well, it has gone bust. Whatever, I hate this assignment. Let’s quickly get done with this”
“How? Mind you, we are looking for a needle in a haystack, a haystack size of a planet. None of our equipment is gonna work. “
“Ahhh. Let’s do it the ancient way. Ask people. Let’s go into the city”
They went inside the city. The signboard read ‘Welcome to The Caito City’.
The city was fairly busy with merchants selling their things on the footpath. Vehicles were moving to and fro. People were walking everywhere. There was a sea of humans. Moving was difficult.
“Elysium City is the best place to be. This feels like hell”
The two men had blended perfectly into the city. Their get-up had changed. Even they looked different.
“I’ll ask around this restaurant. You go ahead find people to talk to”, Ulnas said.
“Fine”, said another man grumblingly.
Ulnas went inside the restaurant and asked a waiter.
“Hey, friend, did you found something peculiar happening yesterday?”
“Yesterday. A brawl broke out just in the neighbouring streets. These goons. You won’t believe the other party was a police officer”
The first man asked many people but didn’t find the answer he was looking for. He might have to report the police officer but he could care less. His assignment was not progressing, which meant their stay would be a very long one. They had no idea their unwanted visit to Taiba was because of the arrival of a few guests from Earth. Their superior would have a field day if they found the survivors from The Earth.

Many days had gone by since Kiara and Aarav left. Their group was adjusting in Sanka and was also preparing to move from the village. They had earned a fair amount of money by helping around in the village. The villagers were rather generous to let them help out. However, the money was nowhere enough to get even one of them out of town.

The Youngest Divinity
The continent of Vaine is a place of technological and magical might. It is the pinnacle of human brilliance, and is more powerful than it has ever been—truly approaching a never-before-seen golden age of magic. But what if that was all a lie? Dominic, shipwrecked and confused, wakes up one day on the shore of a continent which shouldn't be there. No maps in Vaine show it; no sailors have ever reached it; as far as anybody knows, the continent of Hesia does not and has never existed. In the last thousand years, no one has left, and no one has made it in. And on this hidden continent, he finds demons—a race of people who are far more adept at magic than humans. As Dominic uncovers the lost history of the two lands, he must come face to face with kings, mages, gods, and the dark past of the most powerful organization in Vaine, which has long done everything it possibly could to keep those skeletons buried. And they're not the only ones who can keep a secret. YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS IF: ↠ You like long-running fantasy stories with an intrigue/mystery focus.
