THE BINARY ERA

CHAPTER SEVEN: GALACTIC

And in a haze of blue, Alana had disappeared, the gem falling where her feet had been. Naej had never seen anything like it. It was like magic. He picked up the gem slowly… it vibrated, its colors shifting in reaction to his touch, and Alana’s voice echoed from within, “Naej! Naej are you there?”

Naej took a deep breath. “Alana, is that you?”

“Yes, and, it’s… amazing.” the lightness in her voice warmed Naejs’ heart and he knew exactly what to do. He slipped the gem into his pocket and sprinted back to the Gaylord’s secret meeting place. 

One by one, The Gaylords said hopeful goodbyes and wrapped their fingers tightly around the gem. And one by one, they asked the Universe for safety and the air around them lit up in different colors and they were transported to a galaxy far away.

Then, there was the sound of marching and military bells in the distance, growing closer and louder. The Gaylords illegal use of the chamber had been discovered; and just as the last of them was transported, The President approached. Only Nitsua remained.

Nitsua held the gem tight in his palm, with the wish that The Universe would provide guidance and save anyone else that needed respite.The President came face to face with Nitsua, and Nitsua’s final words echoed: “There is so much more to life than this, Father... May the Universe bring me to safety, and provide guidance to all who remain trapped here. And one day, I hope you can see how wrong you are. About everything. Goodbye.”

He closed his eyes and disappeared in a haze of red. The President picked up the rainbow gem, and all color disappeared. It turned black. “No one will speak of this,” said The President to the men who had accompanied him. “And no one will lay a hand on this abominable rock. Ever again.”
