《Raising Phoenix From Today》Chapter 9: Lori Van Dyna
Advertisement
Sachi contemplated how much to tell when she heard her mother again "You seemed to have changed in the past few days, I can feel your energy and completely different from before. If I did not have the blood resonance and my feelings then I would have thought that you were someone disguised as my daughter"
"Blood resonance?"Sachi hear it for the first time.
"Yes, where do you think your water magic has come from? I am a water mage" she said smiling. "Because of it I have a blood resonance spell."
Sachi was shocked.
"But I saw you use fire and water magic which were low level for house uses" Sachi asked
Her mother laughed "little girl because I did not show myself don't look down on your mother, you do not know much about me."
"When I was your age, I was the rebel in my family" she said proudly.
Sachi looked at her mother weirdly.
"You do not believe me?" her mother guessed looking at Sachi's eyes.
"You are my mother so I will believe everything" Sachi replied smiling.
"Now enough about me, I want to know about you" She said to her daughter patting Sachi's head.
"Well you can say that my adventure was not pleasant I nearly touched the death door and returned back and something unbelievable and unexpected things happened which changed me completely. So I decided from now on I will take my own path and I will write my own fate."
Sachi's mother was surprised at her daughter's declaration.
As they conversed, Sachi heard some disturbance from far away and her senses were alarmed her highly of the coming danger.
Sachi's mother turned her head to left and her eyes narrowed as she detected a presence from far away. However the person on the other side also detected something.

Though the presence was not on her level she cannot underestimate her enemy. She tried to think of a way as she took out a map from her pouch.
Sachi felt the presence was nearing them fast. Without thinking she caught the horses and motioned her hand as though throwing a stone and then caught her mother's hand who was looking at the map seriously and jumped.
As soon as she landed on the Island her mother's hand slipped from her as she fell on her knees, the horses lay flat on the ground moaning in pain. Sachi was shocked to see this scene.
The system notification sounded in her head "Intruder alert, three unknown presence on the island, should the targets be eliminated yes/no"
Sachi panicked and shouted quickly "System wait that's my mother"
Sachi's mother was on the ground on her knees sweating profusely as a powerful energy forced her down threatening her life. She had no doubt that the power will kill her if it wanted. With great difficulty she raised her head to look for her daughter and what she saw made her drop to the ground.
As her bones creaked as though they were going to break, she was unable to move her eyes from her daughter who was standing normally without any pressure or discomfort.
Then she heard Sachi's voice shouting to someone saying it was her mother, suddenly the pressure decreased. Though the force was still present she was able to breathe now.
As she took two gulps of air she was shocked by the pure energy in the air. The magic in the air was very concentrated.
In the meantime Sachi was trying to talk to the system. "Would you like to allow the unknown presence or would you like to imprison her."

"Allow, allow she is not a threat and prisoner" she shouted again in a reply.
"Please do not reveal the presence of the system in you?" the system warned her.
"Okay" Sachi replied easing her stiffened shoulders, because she the last sentence meant the system and the island allowed her mother's presence.
"Then please enter the name of the participant to allow her officially" the system informed.
"Her name is Lori, Lori Poalm" Sachi informed.
Sachi's mother looked at her daughter's face as it changed from shock to panic and then slight relief. Then she heard her talking to some invisible presence. She thought about her daughter's words and decision.
As she heard her say her name, she wanted to correct her daughter and opened her mouth revealing her full name for the first time "Lori Van Dyna Poalm from Dyna family"
The system quickly registered the name and the pressure on Sachi's mother disappeared. Sachi felt relived and tried to help her mother get up.
The pressure on the horses also disappeared however they did not get up, also one of the horse was shivering. The horse belonged to Lori; also Queen was standing on it looking at the horses.
Lori and Sachi saw the bird. "Queen do not scare them, they can be considered friends as they helped us" said Sachi.
The bird looked up and screeched in joy seeing Sachi. But her look changed to curiosity as she saw Sachi's mother.
Queen quickly flew and landed on Sachi's shoulder, completely ignoring the horses. She tilted her headed from side to side as she examined Lori.
Sachi helped her mother into the wooden house she built for herself.
Lori sat on the bed while Sachi pulled a chair for herself. Lori had a lot of questions but she did not think it was appropriate to pry into her daughter's secrets. However she understood one thing that her daughter encountered a fruitful chance.
Sachi looked at her mother for a minute and then sighed "Queen this is my mother Lori, Mother this is Queen my partner" She introduced each other.
Queen looked at her very curiously and then tried to speak "Gr...a...nd mother" and sent an image of Lori's expression to her mind.
Lori was stunned at the voice and image. Sachi smiled at her mother's stunned expression, because she was the same at first.
"Grandmother?" Lori looked puzzled.
"Well the story is like this we were attacked and I was injured and when my soul was about to enter the underworld, it was pulled into this island and given a chance at life once again. Then I was given this little rascal as gift. It hatched for me after taking my blood. So it calls me mother. That's why you became her grandmother." She explained in few sentences.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
