Power of love
Power of love.
Brenda and her crew entered the village where Elenu was waiting for them by midnight.
Due to tiredness from the stress of the journey, they all slump on their beds and slept like a baby.
Reagan and Apollon777 were seen sitting outside under a palm tree, discussing Maria's sudden disappearance.
"I suspected immediately I saw her that the Hoorays have tempered with her body and mental system," Apollon777 said.
"Yes," Reagan answered back and quickly added. "They woked her up for a purpose."
"If they summoned her, then something is wrong as we ought to meet her along the way, no matter how slow she may walk," Apollon777 muttered.
"Yes, maybe something went wrong along the way," Reagan answered back. "What's your suggestion?" He asked.
"If there is any kind of Hooray's mechanism on her, then I can track her for you," Apollon777 answered back.
Reagan leaped up with happiness, he hugged Apollon777 and cling to him." Thank you." He muttered softly.
"Not yet, Apollon777 answered back. "Until Brenda agreed to this suggestion."
"I'm positive she will," Reagan answered.
"Now, will you sleep?" Apollon777 inquired.
"Yes... Yes, I will." The lovestruck man answered back, leaped up, and dashed inside the house to sleep for a while for the first time in Forty-eight hours.
Apollon grinned and bobbed his head at the excited man.
"Love is the most powerful weapon on earth." He muttered softly.
He could remember his love, Ruanian100 was her name, and they had met during a competition in choosing the strongest among the upcoming warriors.
Apollon won the male competition and was named and employed as a guard in the royal archive, he fell in love with Ruanian100 who won the female sector and was named as well. And a beautiful relationship blossomed between the two parties.
A year later, they got married and Apollon777 could still recollect the first night of intimacy and sex.
Of her glittering eyes and her deep breath as he thrust into her, deflowering her and enjoying the right of a groom.
The recollection of her moaning aroused him and he can feel his manhood springing up. "Damn you," Apollon7777 said to no one aloud.
Yet, the memory of Ruanian100 keeps coming back to him, her beautiful eyes and well-curved body, her style, grace, and the way she walked elegantly like a queen stepping towards her king.
Apollon777 loved Ruanian100, and she loved him back as well.
When she died, something inside him died as well.
The willingness and tenacity to keep living were replaced by the self-belief that he was alive only to seek revenge. To him, the death of more and more Hoorays will quicken her rebirth, and when he died, killed by the Hoorays in his search for retribution, then they will both be reborn to consume the love fate have in stock for them.
Apollon stood from his seating position and walked absentmindedly. "Earth is beautiful." He muttered. "How I wish I can show Ruanian100 this place."
Unlike the planet where Apollon777 came from, only earth possessed enough oxygen, water, and other needed source of energy to sustained trillions of living things.
This is the cause of the war between the Hooray clan and the Apollon clan, as each family strived to exterminate the other family for surviving of his lineage.
And when the Hoorays discovered the way to the milky-way, they quickly send their armies to the earth to pave the way and make the earth habitable for the rest of the family.
This is Hooray's agenda, Apollon777 needed no soothsayer to explain this.
When Brenda woke, she went to the stream where she was abducted by Apollon777 to bathe, and immediately dressed in a black jacket and black jean trousers over blue sneakers.
She walked towards Apollon777 who sloped his head on the arm of a chair in deep sleep.
She smiled as the sleeping man raised his head at the sounds of her feet. "Good morning, did you sleep at all?"
"I don't sleep much, I always have nightmares whenever I closed my eyes," Apollon777 answered back.
Brenda went closed to him and sat beside him. "Bring me your hands." She requested.
Apollon looked deeply into her eyes and muttered something unheard by Brenda.
He sluggishly point his hands towards Brenda and closed his eyes.
"Good, now breath deeply in and out for five times." She said.
Apollon smiled, then breathed as Brenda instructed him.
"Blank your mind, and think of nothing." She commanded, then massaged his arms to ease his pain. "What is your greatest fear?"
Apollon blinked his closed eyes for some seconds at the unexpected question. "Not Seeing her again in my next life." He answered back with a stammering voice.
"What is the solution to your fear?" She asked.
"Killing enough Hoorays to leverage my chance of meeting her quickly in my next life," Apollon777 answered back.
"Can't you give another female species of your clan a chance?" She asked.
"No." Apollon answered back." He blinked his closed eyes for some seconds and added in a whisper. "She was my mate, I only seek retribution and death along the way."
Brenda bobbed her head in sadness at the power of love.
The memory of her past keeps streaming back to her now. "Not now, she muttered softly and resumed her discussion with Apollon777. "You need to spend the rest of your life in happiness," she paused and shrugged her shoulders. "She will be happy wherever she is with this."
"No," Apollon muttered back. "She will be happy when am killed during my mission of avenging her death."
Brenda cleaned the tears rolling down her face on her jacket. "Whatever you do, your happiness mattered most, remember, laughter is the best medicine to the soul."
Apollon777 grimaced and opened his eyes. "Thank you, I feel relieved having someone to talk to."
"Problem shared Is half-solved." She answered and dropped Apollon's hands.
Bobby saw them from far and walked closed and thought. "Bloody alien, trying to steal my woman." He placed his hand on Brenda's shoulder and pecked her on the cheek. "Good Morning, did you sleep soundly?"
"Yes, I slept like a log of wood." She answered back. "You look ravishing"
Bobby grinned and pat Apollon777. "You look dreadful, did you sleep at all?"
Apollon smile and answered back. "Sleep is for the weak, the strong face their nightmares with opened eyes.
Bobby gazed at the alien in his front and said, "Funniest quote of the year."
Reagan walked the theatre and greeted them all.
He looked pleadingly at Brenda and said. "I need you to find Maria."
"Power of love," Brenda muttered for the second time today. "How can I help you out?"
"Apollon777 claimed to be able to track her through some means known only to him, he needs your permission and I need your cooperation." He answered back with a gloomy face.
"We need to go after the scepter before it disappeared again," Brenda said, paused, and fly her hands around. "How can we get the scepter with few men?"
"Let's help him and go after Maria first, her life is precious to me more than a damn scepter surrounded by witches and aliens," Bobby added.
"OK," Brenda replied. "Let Apollon777 lead the way."
