VOLUME 2: TALE OF THE PHOENIX....
PROLOGUE
Outside Earth... there exist many planets. One among them, Jerome is the one where I was born.
Soon after my birth, my mother was murdered and the new queen controlled Jerome. My elder brother, Prince Washita, sent me to Earth to grow up as a normal human, knowing just that I was never supposed to tell anyone my true identity. Ta Jerome, the princess of Jerome.
My brother was banished under the influence of the queen, who played the role of a wicked step mother fabulously. She didn't know about my whereabouts, so I remained unharmed.
When I reached 20 years, I came to know of the death of my brother and the step mother from the new king of Jerome.
He was from the famous group of planets called Islands. My elder brother had named him king.
He was nice to me, and took me in when I ran away from the care of my guardian, the school warden.
Strangely... very unexpectedly, we fell in love.
Amenatsu broke away from himself for me. And brought out his innermost powers as Amon, the black dragon.
I lost control of my powers in an encounter with the anti alien agency and slipped into a coma during the last days of our stay at Earth.
Amon, it was Amenatsu's other name, his power's name, tied his soul to mine to bring me back to life.
I fell for him all over again. And he loved me all the more, again. Never letting me think of his own pain.
There was a young boy that became very close to us in the past one year... Dawn, he was the chief commander of the security of the Royal family.
Amon highly approved of him.
Oh... we married a year back. Amenatsu and I.
Amenatsu and I suffered a loss, a month back. My little baby, my son, was murdered.
I will figure my powers out... and hopefully get the murderer punished.
Also... I am trying to get Amenatsu to visit his parents on the Tatsu island.
My life as Queen of Jerome is going well. I'm second in charge of the general science research team. Of course, Amenatsu is the head there.
Somehow, things will be alright.
When I lost my little baby, I was broken. But there is still a broken soul I have to mend.
I still have a reason for living. I have to bring Amenatsu back to his senses. He has lost the smile that brightened my day.a
His powers are more and more out of control. I wish I could forget everything from my past.
I couldn't, even if I wanted. It was my soul, the golden phoenix that had the power to remember each day like yesterday, each smell, every breath, every shape. Everything.
REVELATION OF MORTAL JEROME:
[Somewhere in the underground passages of Jerome:]
"Jerome must see the downfall of this alien king!"
The shrill voice of the second commander of the Mortal Jerome cult echoed along the ruined walls.
There were whispers, some of agreement and others of disapproval.
A man drowning in hatred for the royalty of Jerome, for Amon, sat in the shadows on a dais. He was the leader of Mortal Jerome.
Another voice called out to the unsure crowd, "Yes! I second the commander... the current king must fall... the prince is already dead... so we only need to fear the islander's power... the evil black dragon...."
The leader inhaled deeply, reminding himself that they were safe in the underground passages of the wasteland of Jerome- Dior. That no one would come there... far less to the underground passages.
A small voice spoke out ruefully, "Don't you think our king is better than the previous kings?"
"How dare you!"
"No... I mean to say, he brought our princess back...."
"Yeah... to hell with it. He married her. And produced a power so strong that it was a danger to even let him live!"
The discussion shot up to the two people yelling at each other. One against, one for the king.
"Don't you guys see... we did not stop the murder of a small baby...? The baby, it was innocent. As is the king and his wife. Our princess became our Queen... isn't that enough? King Amon saved Jerome and got us out of the Dark era...."
Now, the leader spoke in his harsh commanding voice, "Has he done anything for Vestavia and Dior?"
The tall framed person to whom the opposing voice belonged shook his head but said after a while, "That's probably because the Primes of the two poor states prevented him from passing any bill for the people...."
"They did it for the benefit of the people!"
"No... they did it for their own benefit! I know it because I denied the benefit my uncle was offering... my uncle and his friend- the Primes of Vestavia and Dior, respectively are here with us... now, at this very moment."
The leader looked at the Primes, seated proudly in the front rows of their ragged headquarters.
"What is it that brings you here...? What was your name?"
"It still is, Winair. I'm not dead yet."
"You will be soon enough."
"Sir, don't you accept that you're planning to sacrifice all Jeromians so that your illegal weapon can start working?"
"Rubbish!"
"I have proof!"
"Someone get him out of my sight!" Weiss was visibly shocked.
"I thought that Mortal Jerome would do a good job by impeaching the king, but being in the analysis department opened my eyes."
"Which sniveling rat pushed this lad in the group for analysis?"
There were more whispers as the 'lad' came into limelight.
He held up a roll of papers and said, this time loudly, "For all to see, here I have the proof of our head, Weiss, being the traitor inside and out. He cheated the king, as we all know. He also cheated us.... That he plans to end Jerome for the completion of his illegal machine... to store all that Jeromian power!"
Two thugs grabbed his hands and twisted them back. He recoiled in pain but said, "Weiss was the son of the Step Queen.... He was using us to get revenge on the beloved prince Washita... who replaced him with Sir Ru as second in charge of Jerome...." He struggled but could not free himself. He continued, "Also... he wanted to avenge his mother's death.... Which happened due to prince Washita sacrificing himself to kill the evil Step Queen... and..."
He was pushed down on his knees and before the last blow could be inflicted he let out his last words, "Weiss wants to be the King of Aria!"
His words were alien to the people. They had not heard of a planet called Aria.
Not one would believe him. No one. A life lost in vain. Perhaps not.
One of the men struck him hard with a bottle of vine and the tall structure of the brave man fell to the ground... bleeding to his end.
In the commotion that followed no one noticed a hooded stranger walk off with the roll of papers.

It was still early to call it noon, the time when both the suns had risen.
Ru settled in his chair behind the massive desk of data screens. Mia came in combing her fingers through her hair.
Ru held out a hand and admired the beautiful mind and body in front of his eyes. Mia took his hand and sat on the edge of the table.
She had changed since he had first met her, the broken emptiness was replaced by a purposeful vision.
Ru said smugly, "Isn't your dress a bit too revealing to be a scientist's?"
"It's good enough for you... or do you want it to be more decent?"
Ru shrugged and sighed, "I believe I have seen enough of your decent clothes.... How about trying on something sassy?"
"I was planning to go shopping with Hayame, but she is too busy learning to cook and her duties at the hospital... she is falling for Dawn, isn't she?"
Ru nodded and said, "He's doing rather well for someone his age... though he has a mind barrier around him all day...."
Mia sighed as a mother would and was about to reach for Ru's half full cup of sies, a drink like coffee made to keep people awake, when someone knocked on the door.
Mia immediately pulled on her coat and got behind Ru's chair. She too was learning how to handle weapons, personal training by Ru....
"Sir, I have am here to give some very important information regarding the king.... His life is in danger."
Ru's eyes widened as he motioned for Mia to inform Dawn for security.
"May I know your name?"
"Its Hirth sire, what is important is that I am a mole from Dawn's security force in the anti Jerome front. Once I drop these papers here, I will be shot or murdered. I know. So here I am, fulfilling my duty for someone who saved me from vice long ago. Wish master Dawn all the very best with his life. I would advise you to protect the king with all you have got."
Saying so, the man turned around and sped outside. Before heading out of the gate he said slowly, unwillingly, "Sir, your ex- chief commander for the palace security, Saharan has betrayed you.... He... he is at the moment on his way to slay the king."
An hour later Hirth was found almost dead by the river.
Meanwhile, Ru made arrangements to calmly get the King and Queen out of the Lilac palace.
Dawn took on things from there. Knowing the danger of the situation the moment he found out that his friend from his planet was injured badly by the river. Dawn asked the paramedics to pick up his friend and keep him hidden in the hospital.
