First Pov

As I slowly regained my consciousness, I was surprised to find out that I wasn't feeling any pain at all. Of course I knew that I wouldn't die. I may have given up my position as Queen but I still was in universe's good grace. That's why I grabbed Angelica and Anthony. To make sure they will also be protected. But I certainly wasn't expecting not to be injured. Either the universe loved me more than I had anticipated or....

'Eve, my beating heart, are you alight?'

The voice of Erica inside my head was usually something I always welcomed and craved but not when I had just survived a plane crush and I had a splitting headache. I had little to no energy to respond through our bond and, truth be told, it was a bit painful. But I knew she would panic If I didn't respond, I could already feel the anxiety building up inside her.

'Yes, Erica. I'm fine. But I feel a little dizzy so can we not talk right now?'

'Certainly. I apologize for the dizziness, its not due to the crashing. A few moments before the plane collided with the mountain your highly sensitive instincts sensed the danger and sent a distress signal through the bonds with your sisters and I responded to it. I didn't have time to communicate with you so I simply took over control of your body and maneuvered it out of the way when it was necessary. You probably don't remember it, you were in a state of shock at that time. So that's why you are feeling a little faint.'

'Did you also change temporarily the chemical structure of my skin so it will withstand the heat from the flames?'

'Yes, exactly. You probably still have a crawling sensation on your skin.'

'Are Angelica and Anthony injured?'

'Irini protected Angelica so she is unharmed. I don't know about Anthony. Where are you? We need you back here. I don't know why you left?'

'You know well enough. How are things back home?'

'...…That is not something to be discussed while you are under a pile of debris. Just come back as soon as you finish what you are involved with. We can maintain control here. For a while, that is. Can you lift the metal bars? I can strengthen your body, If you like.'

'No, that wont be necessary. I see a hole in my left. I think I can crawl my way out.'

'Okay, just be careful. I love you'

Once the connection was cut off, I took a deep breath to calm my mind but I couldnt.Something dreadful has happened in the capital. It was to be expected,however. After all I had abandoned the throne after seemingly committing treason without leaving an heir. But I couldnt do anything about it from here.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

I slowly moved towards the hole on the side of the plane being very careful not to disturb the debris too much in case something falls on me or blocks my way out. In a few minutes I was free and I started searching for the others.

The remains of the plane had fallen on the valley below the mountain.I could see the mountaintop right above us but in front of me there was a thick forest.It seemed it will be quite difficult to reach civilization again,let alone reach our original destination.

-Angelica!Anthony!

The impact of the collision was massive and before the plane hits the ground it was already on fire so I considered it highly unlikely for anyone else other than the three of us to have survived.

-Here,Eve!

I followed the voice and I found Angelica sitting on what used to be a part of the wings. She had just freed herself and she was full of dust and smoke but I didnt see any injuries on her.

-Thankfully,you are ok. Where is Anthony?

I was worried because after the crash Angelica and Anthony got separated from me and even though I was protected by Erica and Angelica by Irini,Anthony let go of his only protection. Me.

-He is okay. He is unconscious but alive and well. I may suffer from energy depletion at this time but I can still spare some energy to protect my source.

I didnt want to comment on the definition of "energy depletion" and instead I started helping her remove the metallic debris on top of Anthony. It took a few hours but in the end we managed to pull him out.He didnt have his senses but apart from a few cuts and bruises he seemed unharmed.

By the time he woke up it was already nighttime. Me and Angelica had managed to set up a campfire so we would be warm at least during the night. We haven't heard or seen any animals but we remained alert.The pilot's cabin was totally destroyed so we had no way of communication with anyone and by the time they found us Anthony will have died of hunger. Angelica could stand days,even months, without food using only the power from her sources.I also could use the cosmic power to keep my body in a healthy and active condition for as long as it took. But Anthony would need food. And quickly. This seemed to be one of our biggest problems right now.

At that time,Anthony woke up. He tried to stand up but he felt dizzy and he lied down again.It was obvious how shaken up he was from the plane crash and the impact of Angelica's energy on his body was greater than she had anticipated. He would fall asleep soon so we decided not to talk to him but before he fell unconscious again he turned to Angelica who was standing in front of the fire

-Keep away from the fire. Its not your element and you know it.

After that he fell asleep again. Me and Angelica looked at each other puzzled. Angelica decided not to pay much attention to what he said because he was already half asleep at the time and go to sleep. I followed her example soon after but what Anthony said dominated my thoughts the whole night because if I interpreted it correctly it leads to a problematic conclusion which was the last thing we needed right now.

At the same in the Autonomous Port of Paris

-Sorry Im late Eric

-Its okay,Raphael I was just starting to worry you wouldnt show up.

-Did you hear about the missing plane? Everyone said it crashed but I dont want to even think about it. There were over 300 people in there. And just die like that....its unthinkable.Maybe the is a glitch on their instruments,thats why they cant find it.

-I would worry so much Raphael. There is nothing you can do to help simply by worrying,only hurt yourself.

-You are right. Still,it would be a tragedy if the plane crashed, wouldn't it?

They were having this conversation while they were embarking the ship so Raphael had his back turned on Eric and didnt see the faint smirk on his face.

-Yes,a tragedy indeed.
