《The Prejudice》 Chapter 01: My Last Farewell

Chapter 01: My last Farewell

"I can do this!" I am patting my cheek with my hands two times just for reassurance. "This is what the ministers told us? Prove it to them you are worthy." That''s what I always wanted to say in every ounce of my body. These tests are the only way that I can be worth something. "Vertalia'' Goddamn it! Push it harder, be confident, don''t be naive, don''t despair." Looking at the mirror with a great and confident smile. "I can go to that place, I''m sure of it," I said that as if it never ends. That''s what the guardians told us every day. To inspire children like me that we can go there. You might be wondering what that is cause I''m not going to tell you anything yet. It''s like a treasure map mystery waiting to unfold. As you all know, life is unpredictable at times that it makes me want to challenge it wholeheartedly. Do you see it? I am a girl who is full of surprises, that''s just who I am. Adventure is something that I crave for no matter how dangerous it is, it is like a raging storm waiting to sail at, and I am not afraid of it.If not most of all, Be optimistic to anyone around you no matter what. When there are times of trouble, people must help each other either an enemy or a foe. As a child, these tasks are not easy to be dealt with and are painful to follow. I know the truth hurts. That''s just how the "Ministers" told us that when it comes to this, fear and anxiety is not tolerated. ''Not to my companions.'' ''Not to the ''Guardians.'' ''Not to the ''Ministers.'' I don''t know what adventure unfolds to us, but surely it is a learning phase that is very annoying to pass, the more you go through with it. The more it is stringent and deadlier. Stamina is the sole force of breathing your lungs properly so that you can run longer and faster. Intelligence, it is a mindset of thinking over your best decisions And what outcome you want to survive. Strength, it is the willpower of your wits, the power to smite and protect yourself whatever harm comes. Perseverance, the act to sustain yourself even at the hardest difficulty, yet I''ll be able to survive prolonged periods. And lastly, Endurance, of all things that I have explained in these phases. This is the most important one. Prolong hours of pain and suffering throughout the body is a necessary key to a long duration of survival and how you handle it. The ''enforcers'' told us the E.P.S.I.S law. We abide by these rules, never to be broken at all costs. We were meant to train. To: Endure, to learn, to fight, to survive. And isn''t that the best thing. Every child in this outpost is my companions. Betrayal is also forbidden unless the ''ministers have done a task. We, as children, strive to work together, even the job sucks hard. No Hatred or guilt must be shown to another if betrayal is a test or not.I stared at myself. Wondering what the future holds me. It may look stupid, but the guardians show us that it reflects your soul, if any case would that make me feel any better? The moment I''ve been waiting for, I''ve been trained for this ever since I was created in this facility to serve the purpose and to become wise and perfect. I can hear someone coming from the corridor and into my room. The black tint glass door automatically opened as the stranger entered the room with swift gushing sound. It was a boy with a blonde European appearance, wearing a space blue striped jumpsuit. He is the same age as mine a lot more slender in height and called me: "Vertalia, you ready?"He saidUnauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. "You know what? Talking about being ready, I''m more than ready than you are Issyus!"I said, confidently. Issyus and I have been in this facility ever since we were created, and we were having a cordial friendship ever since we were young and I never got separated to him ever since. "Ohhhooo! So confident are we here Vertalia."Issyus said, mockingly."What planet have you been assigned into by the way?"He added with a question. "You know, you can read my thoughts. No need to be stupid, you dumb," I replied with a grin on my face. "I''m just testing you Vertalia! Haha, no need to get mad!"Issyus ended up laughing, looking at me like I''m a stupid human being. "Do you want me to?" I added with a smack in my face this time. "Wait till the ministers smack you up a good time," Issyus added with a chuckle. " Ha, Ha!"I replied with a fake laugh. "So I''ve heard the ''ministers'' assigned you to ''Terranov IV,'' that planet is probably one of the dangerous habitable planets to be tested." He added more "And you are one of the first human beings to live there for a month. I''m just worried if you can do it." He asked in a more serious tone as if he is worried. I sighed for a while then stood up from my chair, walked and leaned closer to Issyus. He stares at me like he knows what I am going to say, but I got him a little surprise. ''Pluck''! I hit him with a karate chop into his shoulders, awed in disbelief. "Hey!! V what was that for?".He said with a grunt. I closed my eyes for relief and held my breath, then I replied with happy and tender tears in my eyes; "I''m delighted you care so much for me Issyus; you''re my greatest companion ever since we were 6, u were there for me. And I can''t thank you enough for all these years." Issyus emotions have turned from an annoyance into an astounding soft smile. He left a gasp and could not speak a single word: "I''m just worried we might not be able to see each other again, I don''t want that!!" This is the first time I showed a single tear to my cheeks to Issyus and the glimpse of my early weakness. My single tear dropped from the ground and started to shed my cheeks. Then suddenly, a sudden force of embrace from Issyus shook me with awe and surprise. This is the first time he showed his emotions as well but with a big caressing smile. "No matter where we are! We''re always together V, no matter how far it is." Issyus caressed and embraced me tightly as if he knows maybe; we''re not going to see each other again. But I can''t stop thinking of not be able to handle us separating together. I started sobbing like an innocent little girl, thinking about losing someone you have been with for all these years, its painful. "Don''t ever think about that! It hurts not to see you again after all this time. But I want you to prepare and move on when that time happens."Then he yelled at me; Wait! How did he know what I was going to say? I was about to say;'' I can''t do it.'' Being a companion with a person who can read minds can be sometimes intriguing. He read my mind as if he knows all the speck of cards is supposed to be. "Be strong V. Someday we get to go to that place and become free." "I want you to be brave like the others, be yourself If I ended up dead. I want you to carry on, don''t show weakness."I replied with a solemn, sad tone:"I know, I know." I slowly began wiping my tears. To show him that I''m not fragile like the rest of the children.Issyus lets go of his emotional embrace and start standing firmly, still reassuring what to do next. I started patting my cheeks two times with intense force that it has turned pinkish-red: "Hey? You ok,"he said in a desperate tone. "Vertalia gets ahold of yourself. We talked about this already." My optimistic side has returned once more, Issyus replied with a blatant sigh on his face. "Did the guardians ever told you to think, not talk.""Eh??? you''re no fun Issyus." I said in disbelief, but still relief after that emotional distress. An announcement ping started as it can be heard on our brains sensors saying in different words, but to mine it was: "Vertalia A-041, please attend to your respective spaceport area bound for "Terranov System" for acquirement as given by the ministers. Your current time attendance will be recorded upon arrival. The outpost bids you good luck on your examinations. Have a pleasant journey." Issyus announcer is given a different assignment, which is interesting that we can only hear it in our heads. "Issyus A-079, please attend to your respective spaceport area bound for "Cyller System" for acquirement as given by the ministers. Your current time attendance will be recorded upon arrival. The outpost bids you good luck on your examinations. Have a pleasant journey." I nodded as a reply even tho its just an announcement: "Well looks like our time is up it seems." Issyus said in a farewell tone. "I guess your right. I''m gonna miss this place!"We had an incredible journey and a great companion". I added in disbelief. "Never doubt about that! "He replied and started to raise his hands for the last farewell handshake." I grinned for a while and started gripping his handshake as loud as it can be as the last respect that we have each other. Chapter 01: What is my Purpose?
Chapter 01: What is my purpose? "They say that to be human, is to survive and become the masters of their world. Something a wise personwould be proud of." But this strong sense of purpose is nothing but a concept of illusion that can be destroyed by one mistake. If that is so! Iam ready for anything, no matter grave the consequences of your actionsyou are still human and bound to have that mistake. One crazy notion is that never seeingEarth isan example that we had lost our journeyon such instance bybecoming the human being we used to be. since I was a child, I have longed for Earth, everyone was is. Acting crazy about it that it used to be a Paradise and was called by many historical people as ¡®the cradle of our civilization¡¯. Everything is lush with green and beautiful Pearl cities, magnificent ecosystem and huge waterfalls. Damn! I wish I could see them with my own eyes. You see, I live in a distant planet beyond Earth called ¡°Avos¡± ¡®Don¡¯t get Wrong There!¡¯ I¡¯m not an alien who has tentacles or has a head of an owl. I¡¯m just a human being who sleeps, drinks and eat every day in our lives. Where I live has no human presence, no civilization or perhaps what you call devoid of any sentient life. But the planet is flourishing with weird vegetation outside the facility. Speaking of what house I live in, it''s complicated. Complicated. I live in an enormous structure that can fit millions of people or perhaps a billion people inside. You may call it an ¡®Outpost¡¯ as what formal and science people would say. We are only 200 children in such a Humungous Outpost probably to accommodate our needs until we become adults. Every child gets to grow up with their mother and father in a way of teaching them creativity and Imagination, that¡¯s where the child¡¯s way of thinking improves to the maximum output. If only I had an actual parent, who will teach naturally with maternity and pure of love, I would have acted differently, I would have a different life that every child¡¯s dream would hope for. Being born is what bothers me. What is my purpose in life? What is happening with humanity, is my purpose going to change all that? I am patting my cheek with my hands two times as it pecked from white to pink, looking at the reflection glass as it lit my face like the stars. "I can do this!" "This is what the ministers told us? Prove it to them you are worthy." I added with composure, putting my hands into the porcelain desk, reassuring things are going to be alright. That''s what I always wanted to say in every ounce of my body. These tests are the only way that I can be worth something. "Vertalia'' Goddamn it! Push it harder, be confident, don''t be naive, don''t despair." Still looking at the mirror with a great and competent face "I can go to that place, I''m sure of it," Saying to myself as if it never ends. That''s what the guardians told us every day. To inspire children like me that we can go there. You might be wondering what that is cause I''m not going to tell you anything yet. It''s like a treasure map mystery waiting to unfold.

I don''t know what adventure unfolds to us, but surely it is a learning phase that is very annoying to pass, the more you go through with it. The more it is stringent and deadlier.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. The black tint glass door automatically opened as the stranger entered the room with swift gushing sound. It was a boy with a blonde European appearance, wearing a space blue striped jumpsuit. He is the same age as mine a lot slenderer in height and called me: "Vertalia, you ready?"He said, entering the room and gazing up my room strolling. "You know what? Talking about being ready, I''m more than ready than you are Issyus!" Looking at Issyus with such a confident look on my face. His reaction was priceless as he pouted his tiny little mouth in distress I said, confidently. Issyus and I have been in this facility ever since we were created, and we were having a cordial friendship ever since we were young and I never got separated to him ever since. "Ohhhooo! So confident are we here Vertalia.¡± Issyus said, mockingly. "What planet have you been assigned into by the way?" He added with a question. "You know; you can read my thoughts. No need to be stupid, weenie," I replied with a grin on my face. "I''m just testing you Vertalia! Ha-ha, no need to get mad!" Issyus ended up laughing, looking at me like I''m a stupid human being. "Do you want me to?" I added with a smack in my face this time. "Wait till the ministers smack you up a good time," Issyus added with a chuckle. " Ha, Ha!"I replied with a fake laugh.

I hit him with a karate chop into his shoulders, awed in disbelief. "Hey!! Vert. what was that for?". He said with a grunt. Took a one-inch step back away from me as he exclaimed with the surprise. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t worry Issyus talking about being smart, everything is possible.¡± I closed my eyes for relief and held my breath, then I replied with happy and tender tears in my eyes; "I''m delighted you care so much for me Issyus; you''re my greatest companion ever since we were 6, u were there for me. And I can''t thank you enough for all these years." Issyus emotions have turned from an annoyance into an astounding soft smile.

"Did the guardians ever told you to think, not talk." Issyus said with contempt in his face. ¡°Talking about thinking. It''s best to do it with a lot of action." I said in disbelief, but still relief after that emotional distress. An announcement ping started as it can be heard on our brains sensors saying in different words, but to mine it was:
"Vertalia A-041, please attend to your respective spaceport area bound for "Terranov System" for acquirement as given by the ministers. Your current time attendance will be recorded upon arrival. The outpost bids you good luck on your examinations. Have a pleasant journey."

Chapter 02: Guardians

Chapter 02: Guardians

The children outpost of planet Avos went live to start its boot-up sequence. The sound of electronic warble can be heard throughout the facility The recreation area, nursery area, dining area, educational facility, training hub and most importantly ¡ª The Artificial Womb Facility began to roar like the sound of a soft single tone harp, emanating throughout the facility within minutes, the fusion lights began from dim to a bright color of blue and cyan. The A.I activated the creation sequence by the series of order commands and interaction;
Ar?t?ifi?cia?l? H?um?a?n? H?u?b: ?Ac?ti?v?ated ?S?equenc?e?:? 1? ?S?e?q?uence?:? ?2? Seque?nc?e?:? ?3 Se?q?u?e?n?c?e?:? ?4? "?Co?mm?e?nc?i?n?g? t?he? c?r?ea?t?i?on o?f ?2?00 h?u?m?ans ?w?it?h ?diff?er?en?t? a?t?t?rib?u?t?e?s? of;?" ? "Ge?nder?." ? "?Rac?e." "T?ra?its." I?n?i?t?iat?ed?.?..?....?..?
Everything went silent for a while in other facilities except for the Artificial Womb area. It began by injecting every sac of the wombs from which purpose is to create an embryo with different genders of race abilities and traits. 15 minutes after the commencement of artificial womb facility, the hive mind activated the ''Android Hub Facility''¡ª which sole purpose is to study and observe the growth of the embryo for 8-9 months and investigate any imperfection. By the time they are born, they are to be raised to become ''travelers''. Every individual android is a sentient being with different attributes of specific Personalities. When a child starts to attribute to that personality, that child is assigned to the android. They look human, sound human, but the truth is that you are deceived. It is assumed that they are artificial. The power boot-up of the androids started to commence as they are there first sitting motionless for a century now starts reviving in harmonic scale. One after another, the androids began opening their eyes as if they have risen from the dead''s grave. The androids unbuckle their power cords in their spinal and started walking into the center of the Android hub stage, forming a line like what you see in the military training. Their coordination on forming the line is beyond a human could do. Their gesture and hand motion of walking and coordination is at incredible sync. They start forming a line first vertically. Then in a few seconds later they began to line up horizontally each 5 feet apart. The Hive mind of the outpost started to specify each program of the androids.
"Good morning, my fellow ''Guardians''."
The Hive mind initiated a mundane greeting as a standard procedure of reliance. "Good morning Agatha." "Good morning Ma''am." "Good morning Madame." All are speaking at the same time with different interpretations and voices of the androids
"4 Guardians, you are created with a purpose because you have an important task."
She added.
"To serve the children in honor of the ''Prejudice'' who created the system to preserve humanity''s self- termination."She added more with solemn emotions of her voice. "It is Earth year 3502, 1,021 years, after the self-termination event, and the 49th Human birth creation. Each one of you has specific attributes and traits that have been encoded in your system, please specify your administration of command"
The Androids stood up in silence as they waited for their specifications of the program and are now open to speaking freely as desired.
"Commence specifications for the Guardians of Creativity."
The first android walked forward to begin his objective and purpose to serve the children at very infant stages; "Au revoir everyone? my name is ''Guardian Adalwolf'''', my sole purpose is to teach children Adventurous traits, I love exploring things, to discover things out of curiosity, that way you can experience the sense of relativity on the life of things". He is a man of a french appearance, wears peculiar orange clothing, an orange-colored painter garment, dark gray beret that often slid due to how large it is than his head and the most noticeable thing is the large curly ''mustache'' that stretches to the end of his cheeks. His shirt is made of yellow striped white covered till his shoulder cover that covered in what you call ''paint stains''. Adalwolf steps back as the next android stepped in but this time a Caucasian woman; "Straight to the point madame. My name is ''Guardian Brighton, my sole purpose is to teach and raise these wonderful children with the power of creativity through entertainment. Children are in the needs to feel amused for themselves, to feel loved and to feel cared without the need for unnecessary pain.'''' This woman wears an old-fashion European maid clothing that you usually see in the 20th-century. The only peculiar part of her clothing is a large yellow ribbon on her chest. Her attitude can be defined as a ''Socialite''. Brighton bows down in a maid- like a stature, then steps back to the next ''Guardian''. "Guardians, allow me to introduce myself as the Entrepreneur of Creativity. Erm!!!" The Android paused in a few seconds clearing his throat, then started to speak in a more solemn tone; "You can call me Isaac, my purpose was to teach these children how not to be overtaken by fear. Fear is an illusion that must be eliminated at all cost. Teaching these children will help us create a better society in the upcoming years, but first, we must tell them what to do and what not to do. Most importantly is to teach them what''s right from wrong." The Entrepreneur of creativity has a thin-body complexity, wears rounded glasses and he fixes it every minute with his white cotton gloves by removing dirt in it. He wears a strange garment that the buttons were made out of Gold on each segment, his neck has a very thick Yellow scarf that''s been wrapped around his neck. The way he conveys himself is like as if he is a lawmaker, arrogant looking and always have a contempt expression on his face.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "Is this like our 49th attempt on doing these- Purpose commencement?" Isaac questioned Agatha with a gaunt look on his face. Before Agatha could answer, Brighton silenced him with his complaints. "Now now Mr. Entrepreneur, If you are going to rattle with complaints. Now is not the time." she said with a neutral expression and soft-spoken. "I''m sorry for questioning authority Miss Brighton, this simply must not go on as we already have do-...?" Before Isaac could even finish his arrogant dialogue, Agatha speaks to him reasonably.
"''Guardian Isaac'' It is the protocol made by the Prejudice system, and you dare to question it in front of me. We know your laws. Now is the time to follow theirs"
"Right right! I Apologize for that rude behavior madame. It will not happen again". Isaac said with utter embarrassment "Good!" Agatha said for the conclusion of the little commotion. Before Isaac could step back into his line again, Adalwolf chuckled like a total maniac covering his mouth as he could not handle it.
"Now now, no need for an insult ''Guardian Adalwolf."
He immediately ceased the laugh, put his hand back into proper posture clearing his throat and said; "Hrmmm!, Sorry ma''am." The last guardian took a step forward with an enthusiastic gesture. "Hello, Madame! My name is Eash, and I am the guardian of Virtuoso. *creator for short* I create various machines for the children. Whatever wish they desire, a toy, their dream of wants and wonders shall be granted. I create wonders of this outpost, to make children happy as they can be."Guardian Eash wears a full Helmet with a strapped-on vision visor that was meant for building things. Eash added with a rather pointless question; "So when can we meet the children?" Agatha answered briefly;
"Regarding your question Guardian Eash, you will meet them pretty soon."
Isaac added with a scoff; "Perhaps babies are meant to be born from 9 months time, so I assume that you wait for that matter, Mr. Eash.". "Thank you for your magnificent intelligence, my Dear Entrepreneur. I could''ve known any better, oh my. My brain is getting bigger every day. HAHA!" Eash said with a blatant exaggeration, holding his chest as if he''s been stars-trucked. "Gentlemen! Are you finished?" Brighton said in a disgusted expression "Erm." Isaac said. "Sorry Ma''am," Eash said. The guardians finished their commencement remarks happy and propounded. Now that their jobs are decided, Agatha started the last remarks for their Job startup;
"Fellow Guardians, now that you''ve completed your program statement, your plans for the children should also be prepared in the upcoming months. If the first child is born, Guardian Brighton must attend their needs as possible, whatever necessary the child should heed your call."
She added;
"If the first child is born, I shall commence ''Priority No. 01: The Exploring and Creativity Stage'', Date occurrence: November 3503 to July 3509. This stage is to be considered the teachings of creativity and the enhancement of imagination to the children. Guardian Adalwolf will attend to that needs of this program to enhance their creativity through 3-D and 4-D Arts or expression." "If the children reach the 1 full year of age. Guardian Isaac shall commence the first ''Prejudice Systematic Intelligence Test''. If the child exceeds the IQ of 150 shall be considered ''Pass''." "Not only Guardian Isaac shall focus on every test. He will contribute and study the traits of the children on how to let them grow mentally or psychologically on their personality. The children must be on a mentally healthy basis so that once they reach the ageof 6, Priority No.2: Diplomatic and Social Stage shall be commenced by August 3509." "They shall be provided whatever things they desire and waste should not be tolerated upon. If the children had done a good deed or unto others. Guardian Eash will provide reward what can give them but remember that only contribution can be allowed in the Academy."
The Guardians nodded in agreement, as they will face their priority that will come in a few years although Agatha did not finish his dialogue yet; "Children are a gift from this Universe and it must be continued so as the Law of the ''Prejudice'' may live on to make humanity far from flaw and imperfections." "Their home planet was destroyed a thousand years ago due to their greed and incompetence but we are created for the sole purpose of helping them so that such mistake or flaw cannot be repeated." after Agatha ended a powerful dialogue, he started to converse them with the Android''s emotions;
"Do you have any wish to say, my fellow Guardians? if you have interesting questions please ask."
"Humans are a strange species. Aren''t They?" Brighton asked with a solemn and peaceful tone and added;
"They strive to find power but they sacrifice their morality why is that?"
Agatha add more explanation;
"The ''prejudice'' created such a system to prevent humanity from destroying themselves ever again"
"Agatha I was wondering" Adalwolf added to start the question with his right hand rubbing his elongated orange mustache; "Humans did create us with their wonderful technologies, even tho they are violent and materialistic species." "How come they able to survive this far?" Agatha replied with a chuckle...
"Well Guardian!, they may be violent and materialistic but they work together and help each other. Humans are communal in some way that''s why for millions of years they survived." "They may be very intelligent but their systems and morals are flawed. We Perfected that system"
Isaac started talking with a good conclusion; "It is truly indeed remarkable what the human beings did, but can we not forget that they destroyed themselves. Now it is our tide to protect them starting with the youngest generation. We must be smart. " "Couldn''t agree more my fellow Entrepreneur" Eash clasp his hand with a big smile. The Guardians nod in agreement as they finished their questions about what to do with their plans in the upcoming months, each assigned with a specific specialty to raise the children with smart and wits. To become a child with perfect posture, perfect ability to survive against all odds.
Chapter 03: Mother

Chapter 03:Mother

The outpost facility went livelier than expected as those previous months, the Hanging garden area lit their solar lights at a high pace. Sprinkler systems on the ground danced with joy as the green cow grass feds its water regularly after not been hydrated for a couple of months. The Nursery area, once a lifeless and an empty room starts to fill up with Children''s colors which have not seen before, the floor is filled up with linen and cotton floor if not a very large playground outside the nursery hub. The Artificial Womb Hub is closed shut so that the children won''t question, but it is unavoidable. Adalwolf is facilitating on the recreational and holographic Hub to assign what kind of Artwork and hobby should the children be more impressed into. Eash was on the other side teaching the children what their best insight of passion is, to make something from scratch, art or anything, in particular, will help them of what they''re a dream is going to be like. Isaac, on the other hand, works on management and leadership. He facilitates and makes laws for each child that they can or can''t have to avoid exploitation and spoil from time to time. He also works as an observer for the facility If there is something wrong, even a minor thing, he continually orders Eash like a slave to fix broken lines or broken facilities. Eash, however, doesn''t complain about Isaac''s leadership as he never complains once. Ms. Brighton is the sole caretaker of 200 children in the academy. With a level of high efficiency and the level of order around as few children follow her around wherever she goes, but sometimes she would end up playing with the children''s games just for entertainment. Loves children with all the passion and even tries to protect them whatever is necessary when harm happens to them "My dear children? Look lively, form your lines, form your lines."Clasping her hands constantly. Guardian Brighton on the front row inspecting each child on the playground to calm them down after they are playing all kinds of fantastic sports; Hide and seek, tagging, world maker and other recreational things. "Ko''ren no poking around with your companions."She said. "Yes, Miss Brighton,"Ko''ren said while chuckling Everyone laughed and giggled after ko'' ren replied to Brighton. "Now now, children. I''m going to start counting, make sure you be quiet."She said "Yes, Miss Brighton."The children all told with incredible sync. In Brighton''s sight. There''s a Blue hue everywhere, she counted the children with just a split of a second, and in her visuals it says. ''Counted 27 people, 3 people missing: INCOMPLETE.'' "Where are your other 3 companions. Children?" she asked with a distinctive and soft-spoken words "Miss Brighton they must be still playing Hidee-Seeker." Reni said in the front row of the line with her cute voice. "Children you may sit on the grass for a while; I''ll go look for the children." She said while lifting her skirt up to walk on the bushes "Yes, Miss Brighton."They said but this time with a less exciting tone Brighton went into the fountain park as she casually walks like a socialite lady in distress, walking with her skirt being lifted up. To a lucky surprise, she saw a child with a decent black playing against the sunlit fountain with his delicate hands on the surface of the water. "Garden? Now get on the line, the children are waiting for you out there. After this, you get to play with the fountain again." "And also we will be given you all a special surprise." The child dried up his hands, wiped it on his delicate jumpsuit and got surprisingly excited; "Oh, Oh!! Is it another surprise, Miss Brighton? What is it? What is it?" He jumped with excitement as if he could not hold his excitement any longer. "Always get too jumpy my favorite goodie-one. Yes, my Dear! A surprise, as a surprise I wouldn''t tell you." Nardeen replied; "I Like Surprises Miss Brighton, I''ll go in the line now." He immediately sprinted passed Miss Brighton as her reaction is gaping gasps in her mouth but later she chuckled as she continues to search for the remaining two children. She walked longer than a few minutes now, walks near the edges of the Park Dome that it''s like looking for clues and pieces of evidence. While she was walking around sightseeing the sunlight gaping on her dark silky hair she heard a footstep on the cow grass as if it were a sign of rush; "Miss Brighton is going to kill me." The child ran in a desperate tone of panic, did not bother to watch his front as he keeps running towards Brighton''s walk path; "Issues? Watch where you''re going!" She said in a desperate attempt to avoid the collision, but it was too late. Issyus bumped into her skirt, but even before he could attempt to hit her body, Brighton immediately grabbed her shoulders, and his forehead and the escalation was ceased; "Miss Brighton!!!"The issue was covered in red with guilt and contempt. "I- I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to...!"he added stuttering his words "Remember what Mr. Adalwolf told you never to look back right, my dear child." Brighton was soft-spoken and tried to pat his hair as a sign of goodness "Yes, Ma''m, I mean Miss Brighton."Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. She lets go of Issyus and now stood up by looking for the last child; "Now you go ahead Issyus, children are waiting for you, after all, we have another test coming this night I want you to prepare." Instead of Issyus replying, he immediately runs back where the children were with his face covered in red with embarrassment. Brighton smiled talking to herself "If only it could be like this forever." After that, she gave a sigh and proceeded to look for the very last missing child. She looked at her own vision with a strapped-on GPS locator and started searching through the academy map. "Now what in heaven''s name are you doing in there?" talking to herself with a bit of disappointment.
The Animal Natural Park Hub is unlike any park you''ll ever see, to the extent you cannot walk it in one day as it is so large that it extends the boundary of full-grown Flora, all types of one-kilometer-tall trees extend high to almost near the glass dome panel. It is thus impossible to comprehend that the Hub has its own weather that depends on flora and fauna of the Hub will change the emotions of the weather. All types of animals lived in this area most likely from Earth 1,000 years ago. Which Dears and Sparrows are probably the most common in the area. Brighton walks as she stumbles behind the clusters of trees, navigating through the tiny bushes and on the glimpse of the eye, She saw her. Sparkling between the sunlit reflections of the trees above her short silk hair, she was sitting above the aerial root of an oak tree smiling. Somewhat holding a Pen and very thick canvas using her knees as support. She was looking at her surroundings and looked back in her art after a few seconds. Brighton observed closer on what she was making. But before she could have a chance to gaze at her work, she put aside the canvas on the grass stood up and starts stretching her arms high up in the air and yawned. With this reaction, Brighton grins her face with an absolute disappointment. "Vertalia?" Vertalia gasped her breath as she saw Brighton about a few feet away from her. "Shhhhhhhhhh." She said with a very soft tone with a hush finger sign in her left hands. After that, Vertalia gave Brighton a ''come closer'' hand signal as she insists something was up. Brighton looks contempt on the reaction she just gave. But out of curiosity, she followed her call whatever she was up to and got closer to her vicinity. Vertalia clasped her hands and dragged her into the nearest trunk and hid her there, observing something. "Is something wrong, Vertalia?"she asked with a worried look. Vertalia did not heed any reply, watched something out of curiosity, and looked with a serious face. As Brighton did not expect her to reply she watched where Vertalia is looking and to her surprise, it was hazy at first sight then she saw what the child had witnessed; "Look at that?"she exclaimed. It was a Dear, in the middle of the daisy flowers as it seems and it''s been kneeling there in pain. The sunlight lit the deer up like its heaven, finally the deer tilted her body and lay on a sea of daisy, the petals flew out like kites and finally rested on the ground; "Is she going to be alright?" Vertalia is looking worried, and in spite of that, she was still looking at the deer out of curiosity. "It''s alright Vertalia, that Dear you just witness? She''s giving birth." "Oh?"she said with realization They continued to look as the dear began licking her breast and tummy for a while, she was howling in unbearable pain but endured the suffering. "Is this how I was born. Miss Brighton." Vertalia asked "Yes, my, Dear. But it''s actually complicated." She replied in a soft tone. "My mother is long gone is she, you told me after when I was younger."The child said. "Worry not my dear, they are actually in a safe place right now,"Brighton said "Was that the Paradise Mr. Adalwolf told us, Miss Brighton."She asked again "Perhaps? You can go there someday, Vertalia. For now, you''re just an innocent little girl."She added her lines still looking at the dear "Well, technically I''m a short little girl, considering my height."The child said with the smirk on her face. "You may be short, but someday you can use that to your advantage. You can run as fast as the other children would and will be the first person to go there." Brighton chuckled on Vertalia''s height but took on a positive note The Dear screamed in pain and then all of a sudden she stopped, began pushing her nerves down to the spine with high intent, with high velocity to push out something coming out from her genitals. Slowly something came out. Ahead! Ahead of the younger one came, both of the girls were staring profusely into the dear happy and Brighton in a bit of tear. The shape of the youngling takes form as its body came crashing down the puffy grass and daisies. "Do you always wanted to have your own daughter or a son, Miss Brighton?" Vertalia asked. "I''d like a daughter, someday I will, if only." She replied with a pang of sadness into her reply. The youngling moved its foot around and tried to stand up, but to no avail, for a while, it persists as the Dear kneeled back trying to wipe the liquid sacs out of the youngling. In a few minutes, the youngling started its step by standing upon the soft grass, trying all his might to make his first step. It was a miracle to some extent, the baby slowly standing up at first shaking his legs profusely as if it is about to collapse but somehow and in some way, the baby stood up for the first time. Vertalia looked closer at the miracle of the universe that she had witnessed as she was awed with a lot of questions. But for Brighton her tone was in a different story, instead of happiness her emotions were filled with grief and sadness; Brighton looked away from the Dear''s beautiful sight and sat in the back of the oak trunk staring blankly in the evergreen grass as she could not take her emotional side anymore. Vertalia looked at Brighton for a while as she was about to say; ''Are you alright, Miss Brighton.'' But that wasn''t the right thing to do, it''s just not right. Vertalia knew in her emotions that she wasn''t. Looking back at the Dear''s birth site where the mother and the young began caressing each other, their heads intact. Vertalia gazes for a while out of curiosity, it seems she knows that it''s going to be over soon. The Dear and the young began walking out of the daisy field, and the doe happily bounces around of excitement as the mother is following his own son. Brighton still staring at the other side of sight out of instinct said to her; "Is it done, Vertalia?" Still staring the Dear and the doe from the far distance; "I believe so Miss Brighton." While on their way back, they were in complete silence. Brighton and Vertalia clasp each other''s hands as they slowly walkout from the Natural Park Hub. She was still looking where the sight of the Dear and the doe was but to no line of sight, now she was looking at Brighton. Who was at first cheerful and caressing moments ago is now filled with a void and no emotions. Brighton began holding her hands tighter and tighter, yet Vertalia doesn''t mind the pain. She doesn''t care about the pain; the only thing she could think of was that she was worried about Miss Brighton, who was on distress. ''Is she''s showing what I think she is. A Weakness, that''s impossible. A ''Guardian'' who showed weakness in front of me. I need to help her.'' Her mind began on an observable state as Vertalia stopped moving, dropping her canvas with her. Brighton turn back into his mindless state into his self but still the look of sadness in her face; "Is everything alright, my dear." No reply from Vertalia as she was looking down the ground "If you have any pains, I can carry you if u want." Then she finally replied; "Miss Brighton?" Vertalia said in a softly spoken words "Yes!" Brighton replied with a state of panic. "Ms. Brighton I know it hurts doesn''t it. I don''t want you to get hurt. I wanted to call you my ''mother'' badly for a long time. I mean is it wrong? No matter what happens, you''ll always be the best mother I''ve ever had." Vertalia said as she sobbed with his heart as she could. That could not hold her cries any longer, her tears dropped like a river flowing through the ground. Brighton''s emotions were conceivably touched by this, her cheeks were filled with tears; this is the first time she cried this horribly in front of Vertalia, not by the feeling of despair and depression. But with the state of happiness and euphoria, she had never felt in a long time. ¡°Vertalia, did u just call me Mother?¡± Brighton said while sobbing and wiping her tears away She kneeled on the ground to embrace Vertalia''s tiny body, hugging her tightly as she could as if it was the end of the world. ¡°Thank you Vertalia.¡± Vertalia knew along what to do, Brighton may be efficient at everything, but in truth, she had a weakness. The feel to have a daughter on his own, which she doesn''t have, she wanted to experience real love from a daughter. "Just this once..."
Chapter 04: Creativity
Chapter 04: Creativity ¡°Vertalia? Is that where the block is supposed to be.¡± Melie leaned at me sticking from my shoulder into her shoulders as it tingles throughout my sensation. I shook my shoulders, pouting my face into the extent as a reply that I have no idea what I¡¯m doing. We play the usual board games such as; Chess, Checkers, Scrabble and many more board games as you could find. However, Mr. Adalwolf told us and always say; ¡®Remember my dear children, always follow your passion and hobby that you¡¯ve always desired. Follow what you¡¯ve always dreamed off.¡¯ It was very good advice. Sometimes I¡¯ve always wondered what the board games meant for us. But this time it was a wooden ¡®domino¡¯ block on the porcelain table like any other children in a very large and cold Nursery Hub. I dropped the domino block not parallel to the top of the horizontal block. Then I took out the book of so-called; ¡®Curriculum of Art Styles.¡¯ And used the edges of the round porcelain table as my balance. ¡°Vertalia, why would I have to do all the work for you.¡± Melie sigh in disbelief, she stood up in front of my head through her chest, correctly placed the domino block into a ¡®Jenga¡¯ form and sat next to me with frustration in her face. ¡°V, tell you what?¡± Issyus patted my shoulders as me continuing to read Chapter 27 of the book as I don¡¯t care from this world at all. ¡°Think of Jenga as a drawing¡± he smiled at me as my attention gazed upon him with that word. He added with another philosophical moment ¡°Remember when Mr. Adalwolf told us that hating something can¡¯t overcome your fear.¡± I shut my art book with obnoxious emotions then put it on the edge of the table. ¡°I know what you mean, Melie,¡± I said with an almost quiet and meek tone of my voice. ¡°Please Vertalia, Just this once?¡± Melie begged with her hands clasping together in her chest with assurance. I¡¯m going to tell you that no one could reject that glittering and cute eyes. It was really at this point that I need to focus on becoming more friendly to Melie just this once since we¡¯ve been together for a few months now. ¡°Why not?¡± I shrugged with my hands at the disposal on the table. With that reply alone, Melie started giggling with the cutest expression and an optimistic expression she ever had; ¡°That¡¯s what I wanted to hear,¡± she said with the most confident thing that I¡¯ve ever seen that she stood up and started shrugging my shoulders as a compliment. That compliment may be the best thing to feel, but I got nervous about the fact that I like board games to the extent. I do! But I prefer to discover things on my own accord. But probably fate is something that can go and hit your face in an instant. It happens to everyone and no one can avoid that; ¡°Tell me how this works.¡± I sighed before saying anything as I am ready to face the new board game, gradually something I might be fond of sooner. ¡°Ok the rule is simple, try to take one block wherever you want to and put one in the top without knocking the whole tower over.¡± Melie put one block at the top of the tower side by side below of the blocks as a final piece. It was majestic yet a Jenga tower that stood up one foot on the round table. ¡°A person who knocks the tower loses.¡± She added clasping her hands again as she finished the Jenga tower set. ¡°Well isn¡¯t Jenga supposed to be a two-player board game. Should I become a coach?¡± Issyus said while balancing his cheeks with his right hand, analyzing like a total scientist in the cosmos. ¡°I want you to join as well Issyus, might as well bending the rules if we have to.¡± ¡°Oh, I have an idea.¡± She added pointing her hands in the air as if it had come up in mind. ¡°Why not we and Vertalia team up together while you do it alone since you¡¯re up to challenges. Me staring at Issyus as he stretches her arms high and started shaking his palms as a sign of readiness. ¡°So you want to gang up on me from the start I see.¡± Issyus smirking at Melie who seems confident in challenges at every board games. ¡°I¡¯ve lost too many times Issyus, so it¡¯s kind of a cheat that works.¡± She said while having an obnoxious emotion in her stead. Melie sat up next to me with happy emotions on her pink cheeks, tries to straighten up the tower so it would not cause any subsidence. She paused her hands in the air and starting to observe whether the tower is balanced or not. At a whim, she smiled showing her glowing teeth in front of us, the tower is fully ready at the disposal and watched which direction the small chair is and starts sitting it, trying to fix her blonde double ponytailed hair and wiping her pale cheeks from her hands.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. I was looking at Melie out of curiosity, showing my meek and kind smile. Few minutes passed by, everything went with sheer emotions and I was on the verge on my seat taking notes on where should I release a useless block into the top. Melie is on focus as she analyzes and slowly picked the critical parts of the tower without ever collapsing the tower; ¡°If I chose to pick that block from one side, It¡¯ll collapse.¡± She exclaimed with a sheer panic into her face as she stared at the Jenga tower already has loose sides on each sector of the block. She went on to the side of Issyus to look for spots she can pick up on, to a surprise she giggled and slowly picked the side block near the top and starts pulling the block carefully with her fingertips. Successfully removes the side block and slowly places it on top, not even an inch of movement from the Jenga block as she quietly put the block with smooth precision. ¡°This is my last strike from you Issyus, you have no spare blocks you can pick and seems you¡¯re going to lose finally.¡± Melie mocks Issyus out of desperation, All the sides of the Jenga tower has been removed after a few minutes of fair play. The Blocks are cleaner on top and the bottom somehow has one block on each side. Surprisingly the tower has an insane amount of balance. I was on it with a good aspect Surprise that the tower did not move or swaying an inch and did not exhale a single breath so that the tower would not subside. ¡°Issyus, I guess it¡¯s your turn now.¡± Melie goes back to her seat as all of us went a bit distance from the round porcelain table. As soon as she sat back into her small chair few children started taking interest from the game as if they knew it''s getting intense and at the verge of climax. You can hear someone was talking behind me as they took the keen of interest on the game; ¡°Go Issyus.¡± A random kid says as he put his fist on both chins and tiptoed his legs around as he was filled with excitement. The other kid wears glasses standing behind the back of Melie waiting for Issyus to move the block. Issyus stood up from his chair and starts walking around the round table, looking for a potential candidate of the block he could pick. He analyzes every weakness, every block that has to be picked without collapsing its structure. The Jenga block has no apparent sides, in the middle which only supported by one block side by side. The top part, however, which has the heavyweight should have collapsed the entire tower but with Melie and Vertalia¡¯s decision, the tower still stands in an unbelievable proportion. Issyus stop walking around the table, he sees the best spot and started smirking at Melie who seems at interest on how Issyus should assess the situation. He put his hands in the middle of the single supportive block by adjusting and tilting the single block slowly, then he released his hand, holds his breath in a period like a wolf and gave a hand sign that he was about to swing his pointer hand with great precision and timing. My surroundings felt the tension of the game as if everything was in slow motion. Issyus was about to strike the block by removing the single block only supported the top. A mistake from the strike of the single block will cause it to bump below or land in the air without striking the bottom block and collapse. ¡°I knew he was gonna do the risky move. Go Issyus¡± Melie whispers in front of me and then starting cheering at Issyus even though as a foe in a match. I smiled back to Melie and looked back at Issyus, preparing his strike to that single block. He exhaled a bit of air, looking at that block as if it was target practice, it was a vague and serious tone in his face and started to swing his hand with extreme pace. As his hands sway, the sudden jolt of wind strike-through Issyus hands like a jet stream bumping his hand into the head of the block. The Block moved with an unprecedented move as it shoots out a few feet away from the game. The top portion of the tower was pulled into the hands of gravity as it free falls into the ground, the tower, however, did not separate its structure as it fells a few inches as it bumps below the supported block without collapsing it. The children who spectated the game gasped in awe as they witnessed the move as they never have seen such interesting can be made in a Jenga game. They started cheering him like the star of the century, Me and Melie stood up from the chair and started cheering near Issyus. ¡°That was very impressive that you did Issyus,¡± I said with a bubbly expression in my face, patting my hand into his back as a sign of compliment. ¡°No fair you Cheat! Melie softly punched Issyus in the shoulder as she exclaimed with emotions of happiness. ¡°Hey? Issyus said as a reply, touching and caressing his shoulder to comfort where Melie punched at. ¡°That was the coolest move I¡¯ve ever seen. Teach me! Teach me!¡± She added finally as a sign of appreciation towards Issyus. ¡°Don¡¯t you remember Mr. Adalwolf¡¯s creativity Melie?¡± he said ¡°Creativity is the best,¡± Melie said as she cheers him and shakes Issyus with both of his shoulders. ¡°Hey! Cut that out.¡± He said as he laughed hard than expected.
¡°Looks like you have the best strategy that has come upon you Issyus, I admire your Creativity, plus Mr. Adalwolf has taught you well.¡± A figure began walking towards Issyus as he wears a Blue Colored Tuxedo and a Yellow scarf behind his neck. Wears round glasses and a pair of Medals in his chest pockets. ¡°Good Afternoon Mr. Isaac, the children greeted him with a cute and a sync monotone.¡± Issyus looked at the ground as his shyness and a red cheek begin to consume his emotions. ¡°T- t- Thank you, Mr. Isaac.¡± He said with a stutter in his voice ¡°No need to be shy about your bravery towards Creativity Issyus. It¡¯s just your first step on becoming a person of wisdom and independence and I love to see children be like that¡± Isaac caressed Issyus hair as a show of gratitude for what he did. and started clearing his throat as something is up; ¡°I¡¯m sorry my children, I may not want to disturb on what you are doing but we will have a final test starting in about an hour, I want you to be ready for anything.¡± ¡°Eidetic tests are the primary objective of this test and I hope you all well and good luck.¡± He added with a serious tone in his voice, fixating his glasses into the right position and starts assessing the children to form their lines. ¡°Eidetic test, what¡¯s that?¡± Melie said with a tone of a question in his voice. ¡°It¡¯s about memory skills solely focused on memorizing each object in a short period.¡± I said as I answered her question. ¡°Most likely Eidetic is a skill among geniuses that can have Photographic memories on what they see in the past after exposing the event in a short time.¡± Issyus added my missing sentences as he added furthermore about Eidetic test; ¡°So think of it like you are taking a picture of one specific object. Then that picture will be always in your head like it¡¯s a photograph.¡± ¡°That¡¯s interesting¡±. Melie nodded in agreement as the children began falling in line that¡¯s so synchronized. ¡°Children form your lines now; Tests cannot be waiting for a due,¡± Isaac said with his formal words as Issyus, Melie and I began forming up the line as expected in synchronous position.
