Arc 37 - Aria meets Emma

Nazar left Emma and everyone else back in Sara Jones’s house. He met many new people, who were scared of him.

He went back to his foster family’s home, whom he now accepted as his real family. He went there and waited for tomorrow.

He wants his sister to meet his cousin.

(Turn off powers.)

Nazar was alone in the home, so he searched through the house for his old comics and manga.

When Nazar started reading and watching these stuff, he did to find out about rare and awesome powers, but overtime, he came to like it and started to enjoy it.

He found many comics and manga and just looked through the covers.

“I really wanted to read some of them again… but with my perfect memory, I remember every single panel.”

Nazar chuckled and went on to sleep.

He has still not rested properly for weeks.

The next day - Friday, 19th of July 2019:

Nazar woke up at his usual time. 5 AM.

He scratched his eyes and stood up.

(Turn on powers.)

And just like that, he vanished into thin air.

Across the planet, he was swimming in the deep parts of the Indian Ocean.

He swam and looked around at all the rare and beautiful sight most people will never see.

He then flew across the beautiful sights around the planet. He had not done something like this in a very long time. He has not enjoyed his powers for a long time.

Last time he did something like this, it ended in tragedy.

He flew as low as 30 meters across the green lands of Iceland. He flew across the white land of Antarctica. He flew across the deserts of Australia. He flew across the skies of London. And he took his sweet time in each location.

Of course, there were some time differences, but to him, it was no problem.

(I guess it's time.)

It was 9 AM now in the UK.

He did not need to look anywhere else to tell the time. He knew exactly what time it was.

He teleported to where his sister was.

She was with her parents at her grandparent's house.

Nazar appeared in the backyard of the house.

(“Emma!”)

He sent a telepathic message to her.

(“Come to the backyard.”)

He waited for a few minutes and she appeared.

She was not wearing the black clothes that Nazar made for her yesterday and instead she was wearing a tracksuit.

“What is it?”

Emma said as soon as she opened the door to the backyard. The door was a glass door and you could see everything inside.

Nazar was still floating a little higher than the ground.

He smiled and bent his back a little. He then reached out his hand to her.

“Have you ever flown before?”

Emma was taken by surprise.

“No?” She said in a puzzled expression as she held his hand.

As soon as she did, Nazar flew off and Emma followed.

“How…?”

“Simple Explanation: Flight Field Projection.”

Nazar looked back a little and saw the confused look on Emma’s face.

They were now about 30 meters above ground. In this much time, Nazar could have easily travelled to the moon and be back, but he did not want to move fast because Emma does not have powers.

“It’s a power that allows me to emit a field of energy around you. You will feel like flying and you can control your movement by yourself.” Nazar explained.

When they reached about 50 meters in height, Nazar started to float.

“So, what do you think?”

“Wow...” Emma slowly muttered.

“So, should I let go of your hand?”

“What? No.” Emma replied immediately. “Are you planning on killing me?”

“Don’t worry. The Flight Field Projection will not allow you to be 1 meter away from me.”

She was confused now.

“You see, even if I let go of your hand, you will be flying beside me. When I said earlier you can control your movement, I meant that to you it will feel like flying under your own power.” Nazar explained.

He let go of her hand and slowly started to move.

Emma followed soon too.

She looked down in fear at first, but then later it was changed completely. Her fearful expression was changed with a radiant one. She was happy as she looked down at the world below her.

“WOW!” Emma shouted. “THIS IS SO COOL!”

Nazar looked back and just smiled.

Nazar increased the speed, which surprised Emma at first, but that was soon changed by a happy smile.

“Should we go higher?” Nazar pointed up. “Above the clouds?”

Emma looked up and said, “There are no clouds.”

“You are wrong,” Nazar said as he moved his fingers a little. After a few seconds, the sunny weather was replaced by partly cloudy.

“Your power is so convenient,” Emma said as she looked up in amazement.

Nazar chuckled and said, “It's not. To you, it might have looked like it was nothing, but I had to do so much.”

Nazar slowly increased speed and they went up.

Once they were above clouds, Emma could not close her mouth. She was looking around in amazement and surprise.

“When I first came here, I had the same expression,” Nazar said.

Nazar and Emma soared through the sky for sometime before landing in their home back in London.

“Wow!” Emma said. “That awesome.”

“True.” Nazar paused as he unlocked the door with his powers. “I will be back in a minute.”

Nazar vanished into thin air and Emma entered the house.

Nazar appeared back in his aunt’s home.

As soon as he appeared, he saw his aunt who was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

“Is Aria awake?”

He asked the question but his aunt did not really reply. She seemed angry, which was pretty usual whenever Nazar was here.

“Why is she always…?”

Before she could finish her question, Nazar spoke.

“She was abducted by aliens.” Nazar paused. “Whether you believe it or not, I don’t care. Now, tell me, is she awake?”

His aunt seemed shocked to hear that, but she could not disobey Nazar, who can kill her in an instant.

His aunt gave him an angry look but then nodded.

Nazar knocked on a door.

“Come in,” Aria said.

Nazar entered the room in which Aria was. She was just lying on the bed and reading something.

“Are you okay?” Nazar said as soon as he entered the room.

“Yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I am sure.”

“Anyway, let’s go somewhere?”

Aria was surprised to hear that.

“Where?”

“I want you to meet my sister.”

“Okay.”

She got off the bed and Nazar placed his hand on her head. And just like that, they both vanished into thin air.

Emma was in the living room waiting for Nazar. He said he will be back in a minute.

As she was sitting down, Nazar and Aria appeared in the room.

Emma was a little surprised to see Aria. She had seen a ‘picture’ of her when Nazar showed the things happened to him when he was away.

“This is my cousin.”

Aria was still standing next to Nazar. She looked at Nazar and then to Emma.

Nazar noticed that and he was confused now.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is this how you introduce someone?” Aria said.

Nazar frowned at that and Emma laughed.

“Seriously?” Nazar rolled his eyes. “Fine. Emma this Aria. Aria this Emma.” He paused. “Happy now?”

Aria just smiled.

“So, this is your cousin?” Emma said as she walked towards Aria.

“Yes,” Aria was the one to respond. “And I have powers too.”

“You had powers,” Nazar said as he sat on a sofa.

“I was abducted by aliens.” Aria kept bragging about things that you should not brag about.

“And whose fault is that?”

“Definitely yours.”

Emma stood next to Aria and said, “She is so cute.”

Aria puffed her chest and said, “Hmph. I am older than you.”

Emma slowly turned her head towards Nazar in confusion and saw Nazar nodding.

“Believe it or not, I am even older than Nazar,” Aria said as she sounded proud.

“It's seriously creepy,” Nazar said. “Please act more like a child. It will be less creepy.”

“No,” Aria said immediately without thinking about it.

Nazar sighed.

Emma was confused.

“Okay, then Aria, do you want anything to drink?” Emma said.

“Wine would do,” Aria said as she sat on the sofa next to Nazar.

Emma froze in her place due to shock.

Aria laughed as she saw the shocked expression of Emma.

“I am just joking.”

Emma let out a small sigh.

“I want Vodka instead,” Aria said.

“She is just joking. Please don’t take her seriously.” Nazar butted in the conversation.

Emma sat back on the sofa and said, “You guys are weird.”

Nazar nodded and said, “Agreed.”

“Wait, why are you agreeing with her?” Aria said.

Nazar looked at her and touched her head. Her blue hair turned back to red.

“I really didn’t like that colour.”

“Seriously?” Aria said as she touched her hair. “Wait, it got longer as well.”

Nazar nodded.

“If you can do that to her hair, why is your hairstyle so... bad”

“What do you mean?”

“Have you ever looked in the mirror?” Emma said. “Your hair is so… bland. There is no hairstyle and it is way too short.”

“It’s 5 CM long,” Nazar replied. “Plus, I cannot be asked to fix my hair every second.”

“...”

“...”

Nazar noticed the blank expressions of both Aria and Emma.

“What?”

“How many seconds will it take you to fix your hair?” Emma asked.

“Less than a second?” Nazar replied.

“You are so lazy,” Aria said.

Nazar let out another deep sigh.

“Just my rotten luck. Surrounded by kids who are lecturing me.”

“I am not a kid. I am 16.”

“And I am older than you.”

There was a little silence.

“So, why did you want us to meet?” Emma asked. “Not that it is any problem.”

“I… don’t know. I thought it would be awesome if you two know each other.” Nazar paused. “If you want, I can erase this encounter.”

“No.”

“No.”

Both of them shouted in unison.

“Okay,” Nazar said as he rolled his eyes.

For the rest of the day, both Aria and Emma made fun of Nazar for doing stupid shit.

Throneworld of Duluria Empire - Dualar:

The king of Duluria Empire was sitting on his throne. Unlike the technologically advanced throne room of the Vanaha Empire, this throne room looked much more traditional.

Next to the king were maids who were feeding him and guards who kept him safe. The rest of the throne room was decorated with many different kinds of artefacts they have taken from many empires.

The king was about 2 meters tall. He looked very old. Dulurian people also possess longevity, but it is much shorter than the citizens of Vanaha Empire. The king had silver skin. His skin looked very hard. It looked like it could take bullets without any problems. Certain body parts also had spikes coming out of it. He had black eyes without the sclera. There was also no hair on his body.

As he was sitting on his throne, a woman in white clothes from the Vanaha Empire showed up. It was the person whose title was Mother.

“” The king of Duluria Empire, Hoel, who is also the representative of Duluria Empire in the Galactic Council. “”

The Vanaha Empire and Duluria Empire used to be enemies. However, after the incident that involved Lucifer, they became allies and ever since then, they have not even thought of fighting one another. At least publicly.

“” The Mother spoke calmly as ever. “”

The king looked shocked.

“”

“”

As she said that calmly, the whole throne room looked like they were about to die in fear.

“”

“”

“”

After that, the woman knelt before the king and apologized.

The king was taken back by that. Among the empires, the Mother is considered very important and is respected by everyone. To bow down and apologize to him, he felt a little pride but also felt a little shame.

After a while, the woman stopped apologizing and left. She then vanished into thin air.

Instead of appearing on planet Xiem, she appeared on one of the moons of Xiem.

As she appeared, she laughed and she laughed.

“”

----------------------------------------------------

3 days later - 22nd of July 2019:

Nazar was on the moon.

He was talking to Laura Marino about how to improve the efficiency of superhumans.

As he was discussing the strategy, Solace interrupted.

- Sorry to interrupt, Master. -

“What is it, Solace?”

Nazar said as he cut off his conversation with Laura in her personal office on the moon.

Her office was much smaller than the one in the centre of Earth. It had a small desk and nothing else here. Everything was done digitally, so there was not even a single piece of paper.

- A few weeks ago before you left, you told me to look for something. -

Nazar thought for a second. And then it seemed like he remembered it.

“The one about the world government?”

Laura was confused and as Nazar saw that, he explained.

“I asked Solace to devour all digital data from every computer and device on Earth. The main objective was to learn how the governments operated and how we might be able to use it and start over.”

- Yes, Master. I have found something… interesting. -

“What is it?”

- Master, there seemed to have been secret societies that actually controlled the world. -

“What?”

“What?”

Both Nazar and Laura were confused.

- It is true that Zerathos controlled the world, but about a decade ago, each country had set up their own secret society that controlled that country. The communication between them was too hard to decrypt. However, after a long time, I finally managed to decrypt not just the communication lines but all the data. It looks like they were the ones in control and the collapse of the world was done by these secret societies a minute before it was done by Zerathos. It looks like they have a plan.-

“What?” Nazar slowly muttered.

- They ran the world without Zerathos noticing. They were the ones to choose who should be running the country publicly and they also used that person to be the pawn of Zerathos. The secret society would create the plans that were too similar to Zerathos, so he would not become suspicious. -

After Solace said that, both Nazar and Laura sat there in confusion. They had no idea what the hell was happening anymore.

- I have not identified the others, but the secret society that ran Britain was the Royal Family. -
