The Doctor sat up straight, replying “that hexagon you spotted, that man inside is his dad….. he too passed away……”
“WHAT?!” exclaimed I-rangris astonished “no way… poor boy” she joined her hands on herself shedding tears. Experiencing death around her put her under so much pressure and panic, she felt awful that she couldn’t do anything but just watch them.
“I-rangris…” called the Doctor wistfully. It was obvious on her face how deeply sad she was for a little child.
It was distressing for both of them to inform the little lad about this. How could a little boy around age 5 to 6 handle two disastrous news of his very own family? Death of his brother and then his Dad for who he was patiently awaiting his return. He could then jump on him and hug him whenever his Dad would return from work, feeling the warmth of his Father all over himself plus washing away the fatigue from his Father and greeting him back in his loving home. The presents and cards his Father would bring for him on weekends shopping…. All that fun and jokes that Dads play with their sons, now who will fill up that role for the little boy, who can offer him the support of a true Father. It was painful for the Doctor and I-rangris to make the child know this. How can they be so cruel to just say it to him like this?
Holding on to her tears, I-rangris said inwards, “how? Why? if his Father and brother have lost, then there must be a chance to return him to his Mother. I gotta discover a way…. It can’t be given up” she pleaded “Doctor… please tell me what transpired to this place? How did everything change this way? What is this place’s name? Why did all this occur? Why did all this start? When? Please, there must be a proper interpretation for these incidents!” the conviction in her glittering eyes filled with tears flaring up to learn more, viewing as a sparkle of courage, her face inspiring for a better change could be read by the Doctor. She seemed innocent but there was a fight for betterment in her expression which even surprisingly rose within the Doctor.
“Yo…. You are a strange girl, I-rangris” smiled the Doctor “it’s rare to meet one like you.”
“Ah!” confounded the girl “pardon?”
“I have known many people of your kind with different nature and intention for this world. Once they arrive, their motive changes, however” he turned his gaze at the glass of juice whispering “this time is unique.”
“Wait sir” perplexed I-rangris asking her uncertainties that were there anybody else before her here but the Doctor retorted.
“Patience girl…. Patience. You will learn all promptly from time to time but, now we must focus on the present, right?” he advised her calmly and with a smile.
“Yes, right,” smiled the girl admitting.
This place was a Kingdom named Crystal. A strong prosperous Kingdom to be ever known in the history of Astiriya. With its cultivated areas, fruited resources, all trade and business running successfully with no bounds in it and in perfection.
In this place, even with being greatly blessed, the same went as the saying ‘every good place bears the worst enemy’
As a matter of security, Crystal had soldiers patrolling the citizens, ensuring the land from inside and outside plus, performing their duty on the grand door referred to Eldora.
Moving to the resident, all could wield powers just for their OWN purposes alone. Even kids in schools had specific classes to get themselves introduced to their personal powers.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
If establishing the standard of power, the second hierarchies to widen the limits of power were only allowed on soldiers, Royal guards of the King, and the Captain Knight. Using beyond their efficiency could cause severe injuries within their bodies, even though these privileges were a pure origin inside these human beings.
The excessively prepotent powers in the entire Kingdom were just two.
One the Summoned Heroes and the other the King or rulers of the territory. These types must regain firm restrictions on their inner stability in order to display a full fist of their powers.
Going to the further details, the Kingdom of Crystal was regarded as the most predominant kingdom to ever stand in history because of its potent rulers ruling with an iron fist on the nation. Never did it transpire that someone seized the throne by assassinating or overthrowing the King. The rulers always had the upper hand. In the Royal household, the one with a sturdy soul is warranted to be a King no matter the age. They accepted kings as the defender of their land.
Recently, six months ago, the King of the nation left his Kingdom on a personal mission with his Royal guards, leaving the kingdom in the control of the Queen with the Captain Knight guarding beside her. Plus, a Summoned Hero too for her support. Everything continued as normal until, within three months, an unusual tragedy occurred in nature.
The awaited long harvesting fields turned dry before the time’s arrival, water levels decreased in the imperial dams and crops weren’t processing properly. The Royal members grew alert and took attention and precautions to avoid any tragedy. The representatives in the palace even took cautions on everything they could manage and offer in every measure available to facilitate around.
When the unusual incidents took a twist on the events, making the matter worse.
Citizens, their power got vanished, leaving them ill. Patients were running to the hospital, and they sent an emergency message to the Queen about the situation. Even after supplying all the accommodation from the palace all over the place, the incidents didn’t cease. It dragged all the adults and teenagers under its net, suffering them grief, depressing their families, and blocking their regular cycle of activity in the Kingdom.
In a month, this hazard spread like a virus around the whole Kingdom, and the next thing that transpired astonished all the living beings within this land.
An enigmatic black barrier materialized from nowhere and encompassed the entire palace, sealing all its attendance inside and obscuring it from the view of the Kingdom like it never existed. Every military, medical supplies, soldiers, even the Queen, the Captain Knight, and the Hero got trapped inside cutting the connection from the kingdom outside in an instead. When the people of Crystal witnessed this, consternation, horror, and fear occupied all their hearts. Some plunged to their knees in despair, while others burst to tears. All their hope and aid were gone in front of their eyes.
Some picked up their guts and rushed out in search of their King, the only means to resolve this trouble was for them to return their King back. Like every light of hope fading in darkness, this likewise got a grey cover.
The Kingdom's gate shut on its own, preventing all sorts of correlation from the outside world to the inside. No one could escape or enter this place. People cried near the door, punching it, kicking it, striking it, imploring it to please open, but that gate remained callous on its own people abandoning them, torturing them in, and crushing their last support in front of their very eyes. Therefore, that evening after the shutting of Eldora, the sky was shrouded in red. Anybody who grew frustrated by the condition yelled in dread and grabbed their follower's attention. They turned grey, got wrapped in a tough layer, and turned into stone
In a day, five individuals, 10, 16, 26, 29, 38, 50, 106, 171, 285 until the whole Kingdom’s every adult and teenager turned into stones leaving behind a lifeless silent city with just children alone on the street crying for someone to encourage or look after them
“I at that time” included the Doctor “struggled to maintain my firmness and rounded up all the youths I could detect around, providing them refuge in my Hospital. I could save these nearby but, I don’t know what must have happened to the others” was the information unfolded by the Doctor named Zain to I-rangris.
Reasoning about the matter, she asked her suspicion “but, Doctor there’s something puzzling me. You mentioned the citizens’ powers were dispelled. Further, the adults were turned into statues but what about you? Why weren’t you afflicted? I beg your pardon” proposing this question kind of embarrassed the girl thinking that he would consider that she doesn’t belief him and loaded her head with uncertainties about his motives behind all this.
