Kate sat in the cold, dark cockpit of the ship remembering the horrific memories of her parents death. She was having flashbacks of her and her sister, Seraphina. Both sisters became orphans at a very young age. Kate being only 10 when this happened, and her sister Seraphina being 5. Since Kate was the older sibling, she had to make sure they both survived. In order to do this, Kate would occasionally have to steal from local stands, risking the chance of getting caught. They both had lived like this for five years until a group of poverty stricken individuals took them in. They offered food and a place to live in exchange for work. Only by accident that one day the two girls realized that they had an ability. This ability allowed them to control and move things with their minds. The poverties saw this as an opportunity. They told the girls that their powers could only be used while working and that was the sole reason they had them. The girls worked constant labor each day. One day while Kate was working she realized that a man in the distance was observing the two sisters. Kate looked around before chasing after the man. She caught up to him and held up her hand, as to threaten him. He grabbed her wrist to signal that he was a friendly. He explained that he too had this power and he could offer them a better life. A better life where they could harness their powers and use them for their greater good. She nodded her head and created a plan to sneak out later that night.
Kate rushed over to where Seraphina was working. She was laying on the ground from exhaustion.
"Sera! Sera get up!" She yelled with enthusiasm.
"W...why?" She panted, sweat dripping down her brow.
"We are leaving tonight."
"Leaving?! But where?" She yelled
Kate placed her sweaty palm over her sister's mouth to shut her up.
"Shh... Yes. Trust me" Seraphina nodded.
"Now pack your things and be ready by sundown. Understand? This is our only chance to get away from here." The little sister nodded once more before running to their small hut.
The sun was almost down and the two sisters waited in silence. Kate surveyed the area, looking for any sign of the man. A wave came from the distance signaling it was ok to leave. She grabbed her stuff and her sister by the hand and made their escape.
"There you two are. I was beginning to think you actually wanted to stay." He chuckled.
"Uh... Where are we going?" Seraphina questioned.
"We are going to.."
"Somewhere better Sera." Kate said cutting the man off. They continued walking where the man had parked his vehicle. He took the girl's stuff and put it in the back, then he lifted them both in. A little while later, the younger sister laid her head on her sister's lap. Kate's eyes widened as the vehicle approached the city. Her jaw dropped to the group before saying the only thing that she could say, "wow."
"Beautiful isn't it?" He said with a grin on his face. She nodded in response.
"What is this place?"
"This... Well this is the famous Coresent."
They drove all the way to a giant building which was located in the center of the city. Kate woke her sister who gasped at the sight. The vehicle came to a halt at the entrance of the building. "Alright girls... This is our stop." They grabbed their stuff and followed him inside. Inside was a library with shelves of books stacked high all the way to the ceiling. People in robes walked past, mingling with each other. The two sisters were fascinated by all of this. They finally made it past the library and down a smaller corridor. He brought them to a room which had two beds for them.
