Bang! With loud noise something crash, and I feel ground shaking.

I jump up from bed as my core crystal flashed rapidly, I run from my room without caring about anything. I can see smoke and explosion outside from crystal walls. It looks like world is coming to an end. I see crystal wall behind me collapse as a half-torn soldier in Azure crystal Armor broke into dust.

I panic and run towards main hall and crash into someone running in opposite direction. As I focus on person in front of me. I smile as he is my uncle. There is also some royal guard beside him.

" We are under attack. Take this command crystal and go to azure pool. Try not to use secondary command as much as possible.I will come to you later “he hands me a command token and run to main hall again.

As I stand there wanting to ask him about father, guard hold my hand, and drags me toward transfer point. Explosions rock the palace as I can see troops outside fighting in sky or on land.

Suddenly, guard pulls me back and I stumble behind him. There is bright flash, and smoke rose as he blocks an energy ray. Guard moves his heavy sword as two enemies attacked from both sides. They are fast but guard intercepts them and push them back with pure strength in single move.

Enemies crash into walls, and he pick me up and run faster. We run past scattered bodies and debris. As another enemy try to stop us. Guard lightly flicks at enemy to blow him away.

Just as we exited from a side of palace. We quickly enter the transfer point. Light fall and we are transferred to far side of azure pool.

We stand there and look toward palace in valley at far distance where ships are firing, and explosions are happening.

After few moments, a bright flash of light blinds my eyes and then ground move beneath my feet like ripples in water.

BOOM!

Closely followed by loud noise. I feel myself flying in air without sense of direction. My eyes are open, but I cannot see, my ears cannot hear, and my body cannot move. Then I slowly senses return, and I feel pain washing over me, especially my head. I stand up pushing something aside, stumbling around.

It is guard barely alive. He appears to be badly burnt while shielding me from explosion. I look back at palace, but it is no longer there. I need to run so I unlock the key given by my father from my necklace and put it into transfer tower, as he had instructed me many times.

It starts loading, the half-burnt guard is trying to stand up for something. He can be healed by command token. I look around for it. But it is not with me.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Thump...! I fall and roll on ground as someone hit me on the back.

"Princess looking for this, I was waiting for you, sorry to be late “I see a crimson guard holding command token.

He walks slowly. My royal guard rolls and grips his feet tightly. I look at key. It is still loading and require few more seconds. He laughs, stab the hand of guard with spike and kick him away. He continues to walk towards me.

"I command you, as a princess. Rise and fight for me “I whisper while looking at the guard.

His eyes grow wide, and he quickens his movement. But it is too late, I can see power flowing from me to guard. And then time stops.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It is the first time I used primary command because my father had forbidden me to do so. It is my last bet for my life. I see, no I feel as boy named Quay grew up from birth. He wanted to be a farmer like his father, but he was chosen and given a special task to look after baby princess.

He played with her, gave her his candies and took blame for her mischiefs. He did not want this type of life. But he started to like it. As he grew up. He was no longer with princess all the time.

She was almost adult now. He was in shadows looking after her caring for her. Always close but away from her eyes.

One day he heard emergency signal. Then crash and wildly running princess out of her room.

He followed her to outside, shielding her from falling debris Then he got instruction to protect and evacuate her. After he shielded her from an explosion and tried to helplessly protect princess from a crimson guard.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As all life of guard flashed past me. I felt his every happiness and sorrow and struggle.

Time starts to move again. Crimson guard in front of me is pushed aside as now healed guard who jumped on him. Guard roars and punch the enemy in face. They roll on ground kicking all dust and ash.

I stand there startled by everything that happened as I feel faint connection with my guard.

They both formed and shattered energy shields of each other stabbing, slashing and firing projectiles. They are very fast. Earth cracks, and explosions followed. I have never imagined this level of power that I can bestow to others.

Tee! I hear the noise of successful key loading. I look back at him fighting, reluctant to leave him behind. I feel him requesting me to board the ship as more enemies were coming here.

I run to boarding platform for ship looking at him as I see enemy reinforcements coming from horizon and I am covered in light. I am transferred to external ship hidden far away. The ship is very small in length containing big pilot shell with fast revolving layers in which I sit. I wait as crystal layers formed around me then ship flew faster and faster to leave behind my home planet, rapidly bypassing the enemy ship blockade.

The ship rapidly moves in vast emptiness of space moving even faster. Then ship hull hums with energy and my pilot shell is ejected from ship as ship crumbles away and only shell enter higher dimension. Layers of pilot shell keep revolving rapidly in different directions. Then after a moment of pure darkness it fall back into lower dimension.

It is still moving at very high speed, far ahead I can see blue planet in front of me. Pilot shell enters atmosphere burning its outer layers, slowing down and crashing into deep ocean.

Remaining shell layers starts to dissolve and then innermost shell containing me floats back to surface.

And I am here on distant planet called Earth.
