Long ago in a galaxy far away there was a family of planets called the Eayila system. Every planet was enriched with a single element except for the one known as Alsayid Alkabir. Alsayid Alkabir was home to the Eayila systems’ ruler Orvak. Throughout his reign, Orvak had claimed the name Orvak the Relentless. Orvak roamed the universe in a physical form no different than a human. He was over six feet tall. His limbs were bulky. His skin was dark brown. He always wore a broad suit of armor and had a glass orb tied around his waist with a belt. The Eayila system consisted of a total of six planets. Every planet was assigned a leader to govern its inhabitants. The leaders were all offspring of Orvak. The planet Nartakatur consisted of telepathic fire handlers. The planet Ardtakatur consisted of telepathic earth handlers. The planet Hawatakatur consisted of telepathic air handlers. The planet Raedtakatur consisted of telepathic thunder handlers. Lastly, the planet Matakatur consisted of telepathic water handlers. Every waking day for the Eayila system consisted of conquering planets and enslaving their inhabitants. Orvak always celebrated every victory drinking with his bands of followers on Alsayid. The inhabitants of Nartakatur were the only ones who remained neutral throughout all Orvak’s conquests. Orvak soon became enraged knowing that the Nartakaturians never helped him in his plans to conquer the universe. That led him to visit the planet alone. The planet Nartakatur itself consisted of volcanoes and mines. Orvak gasped out of frustration at the sight of the inhabitants living in peace and harmony with each other. Some were gathering minerals while others were training into honing their elemental and telepathic abilities. The inhabitants all had red skin as well as worn cloaks that resembled their skin tone. Seeing the positivity led Orvak to yell, “Etsilla!!!” The conqueror’s voice was so loud, the planet’s leader Etsilla heard him from the eastern corners. With her fire handling skills, Etsilla flew to Orvak’s location. “Yes, Orvak sir.” said Etsilla. “Etsilla. What is going on here?” said Orvak. “What do you mean? My people are just living their lives here.” said Etsilla. “I mean that they are not assisting me in any of my plans for conquests.” said Orvak. “Sir, I’ve told you many times that we don’t want to be involved in your reign of terror. How many more should I say that? You really should stop with the pressure.” said Etsilla. “I will keep doing that whether you want to or not. The others are doing it, and they are having the time of their lives. I will also keep telling you to call me dad. I am and always will be your father.” said Orvak. As the dialogue continued, Esmara, Etsilla’s mother, approached them. Esmara wore a red cloak. “What’s going on here?” said Esmara. “Oh, hi mom.” said Etsilla giving Esmara a smile. Orvak clenched his fist and started to breathe loudly saying, “Oh. So, you call her mom and won’t call me dad.” “Look Orvak we don’t want anything to do with you. We decided that when you chose to care more about conquering the universe than being a father. You see your other children more than you see us anyway.” said Esmara as while holding onto Etsilla. “Yeah.” said Etsilla. “Etsilla, I will never understand you. I have no idea what your problem is. You never accepted any of the suitors I arranged for you to marry.” said Orvak. “That should tell you right there that I am not into males. Your problem is that you want to make me into you. I won’t become you. Ever.” said Etsilla. “How dare you both speak to me that way? Who do you think you are talking to?” said Orvak. “Get out of here you mindless killing machine. Never come back or I will make you.” said Esmara as fire began to appear in one of her hands. Orvak stood completely still and said, “Go ahead if you can.” “Take this you dog!!” said Esmara as she threw bursts of flame at Orvak. Orvak gasped at the sight of the deadly blaze before he was struck by it. A cloud of smoke engulfed the area preventing Esmara and Etsilla from seeing if their time with Orvak was over or not. “Yeah, you did it!!” said Etsilla. As Etsilla raised her hand in the air out of celebration, she heard a loud chuckle coming from the smoke. “What the?” said Esmara. The smoke faded, showing Orvak completely unharmed by Esmara’s attack. “Ha!! Did you really think that you won?” said Orvak holding onto the orb he kept on his belt. The orb turned black as an obsidian. “What’s this?” said Esmara and Etsilla. “It appears that you both are the one with a problem being unaware of my power. If I have the mura stone, then no element will have any effect on me.” said Orvak. “Oh no!!” said Esmara and Etsilla. “I am afraid there is worse news. Whenever I get struck by an element while holding the mura stone, it counters with the one that’s opposed to it. You attacked me with fire so say hello to some water.” said Orvak as the mura stone began to shoot a tremendous burst of water right at Etsilla and her mother. At an instant, Esmara threw Etsilla out of the attack’s view and took it herself. Orvak smiled as he heard Esmara screaming and bled protecting her daughter one more time. “Mom!!” said Etsilla. “Etsilla, get out of here. Run and save yourself. I love you.” said Esmara as she fell onto the ground and died. “Orvak!!” said Etsilla. “Yeah, that’s it. Come on. Get mad. Fight me.” said Orvak. “You killed my mom you b*****d!!” said Etsilla. “Her death is punishment for resisting order. I like to end you right here as well but how about I punish your precious friends as well.” said Orvak as he raised the mura stone in the air. “What?” said Etsilla as she felt a drop of rain fall onto her head. Feeling that made Etsilla run and hide in a mine. “Yeah, that’s it. Run for your life.” said Orvak as the rainstorm got heavier. “Please stop.” said Etsilla. Etsilla covered her ears not to hear the screams of her people before they died not given an ounce of mercy. The lone fire telepath stayed in her hiding place until the storm and the screams stopped in unison. Orvak shouted after achieving his goal. “Nartakatur!! Consider this your punishment! You should have followed your orders and joined me in my conquest! The universe is mine to command! Those who resist me shall perish!” said Orvak as he left for his ship. Out of nowhere a blazing molten rock struck Orvak’s vessel destroying it into pieces. Orvak turned around and gasped at the sight of Etsilla standing in front of him. “Unfortunately, you are not going anywhere. If you are going to kill my friends, then you deserve to die here.” said Etsilla. At an instant, a band of fire telepaths appeared behind Etsilla. “Telnor!! Orion! Chetanzi and Oryssa!! You all survived!!” said Etsilla. “We’re alive because of you Etsilla. You warned us to hide through a telepathic message.” said Orion. “I did? I must have subconsciously done that while hiding.” said Etsilla. “And we thank you for that. How about we take Orvak down together?” said Chetanzi. “Yes.” said Etsilla. “Aww put a sock in the touching reunion. Do you honestly believe that a band of your pitiful insignificant rats have a chance to stop me?!! I am Orvak the Relentless. The universe is mine!!” said Orvak. As Orvak spoke he found himself frozen stiff, unable to move a muscle. “I don’t think we are as insignificant as you think we are. Too long we feared you. Too long we believed we were no chance against you. Too long you have forgotten that we aren’t just elementals. If we rely on our telepathic abilities, we can beat you.” said Etsilla as she approached Orvak and took the mura stone from him. “Give that back to me.” said Orvak as he tried to move but couldn’t. “I’m afraid the mura stone is mine now.” said Etsilla. At an instant, the color of the stone turned to white. Telnor and the others gathered around Etsilla to look at the mura stone as it glowed brightly. “I guess that that thing must have a mind of its own.” said Telnor. “Yeah. It must have changed because it feels the wielder’s purpose of using it.” said Oryssa. “I see.” said Etsilla as she looked back at Orvak. “What do you want to do with him Etsilla?” said Orion. “I want to give him a fate worse than death.” said Etsilla. “Which is?” said Telnor. “We’re going to leave Nartakatur. There is nothing left for us here. Orvak is going to die here.” said Etsilla. “Okay. I will get our ship ready for departure.” said Chetanzi as she left to go power up her vessel while the other survivors followed. Etsilla remained staring at Orvak. “Aren’t you going to go with them?” said Orvak. “I will. I just want to look at you. One more time. I want to hear if you have one more thing to say to me because this will be the last time you’ll ever see me.” said Etsilla. “I have nothing more to say to failing offspring of mine.” said Orvak. And with that, Etsilla put the mura stone down and encased most of Orvak’s body in molten rock with her telepathic powers. Etsilla then buried her beloved mother Esmara right next to the imprisoned Orvak. “There. That should do it.” said Etsilla. Etsilla heard a loud voice coming from her ship. “Etsilla we’re ready.” said Chetanzi. “Okay. Let’s go.” said Etsilla as she left her parents taking the mura stone along with her. Etsilla stared at Orvak out of the window of her ship as it got into the air. She smiled as Orvak broke out of his prison and threw rocks at the vessel. Orion approached Etsilla and said, “Well Etsilla, where are we going to go?” “We’re going somewhere the Eayila system won’t find us. We are going to Earth. “Chetanzi, set a course for Earth.” said Etsilla. “Affirmative. Honestly, I’m excited for this journey. I always wanted to see new worlds. It’s been my dream ever since I was a little girl.” said Chetanzi as she maneuvered the ship. “I see.” said Etsilla. And with that, Etsilla and her friends left what was once their home off to go find a new one where they could feel safe.
