The Last Warrior

Prologue

Planet Zeiron.
The year 1999

"My Lord, Xenon 291 has been sent. I'm sure my Lord, we will have victory."

General Godolphin tried to hide the immense fear that was now starting to spread all over his scarred face, draining it of all colours.

"What your heart and soul try to hide, your eyes reveals. We may not have victory but I'm not letting Ruffus take over my Kingdom...or at least my only daughter, Zia."

The wise and prudent, Lord Eyelore Griffyn Everette had said it all. After nearly thirty years of his reign, the time has come, to finally hand over his kingdom. But not in the hands of Captain Prichardew Ruffus, that's all that he asked for.

"We can only hope, my Lord, for our rivals are stronger."

"But she's my only daughter, Godolphin. Hoping will not suffice! I lost my dearest Queen and now I can't afford to lose my only daughter. I've got plans... yes, yes..."

"Ahem! My Lord?"

"Godolphin, prepare the spaceship. We are going on a voyage. Take Zia too. And my mother shall not, at any cost, know about this; at least not when I'm alive."

"What about young Edward, my Lord?"

"He's come of age. So no worries."

"That can be arranged my Lord but ... is it right to ask?"

"Speak out, Godolphin. There are no secrets between us."

"Where are we going, my Lord?

"Planet Earth. The land of my dear Queen. After all, Zia's got her relatives there as well. I'm sure she'll be safe."

"As you wish, my Lord." General Godolphin made a slight bow and left the courtroom, unsure about his Majesty's decision. But Lord Eyelore, had been thinking over it for a while and there could be no alternative.

The journey was tough, along with all the baby troubles. And a day later, their spaceship had entered Earth. It was now searching for the house of Mr. Jones, Zia's only maternal uncle, in the busy street of Bloomsbury Hill.

It was past midnight and was pouring heavily outside the porched house. Thick bougainvillea grew over the sides of the railings of the top floor of the house mainly on the right. It was quite a pleasant sight. Lord Eyelore put on his shield, wrapped a silver cloth around the baby and got out of his spaceship followed by General Godolphin.

He hadn't informed the Jones', for what would they think! An alien baby coming to stay, at least until till she comes of age?

Lord Eyelore put down the oval basket and placed the baby inside. He took out a note and placed it under little Zia's right palm, kissed her and said "Be good, Zia. From now on, here's where you'll grow up. Of course, daddy will come back, when you're 18, to take you back to where you rightly belong." His eyes were filled with tears, but he had no other way. He got up and after looking at the baby for one last time, took out his wand and waved it around the baby securing it with the powers of the Universe. 

"My Lord?" said General Godolphin.

"She'll be safe now." Saying so, Lord Eyelore led the way towards the spaceship followed by General Godolphin at his heels.
