The Forgotten World

In a dimension forgotten by earth, a large throne sat in the middle of an electronic room. It pulsated, sparkling, blue beating like a heart. The room was busy with creatures clicking away on their keyboards, not paying attention to anyone else accept themselves. A horned creature paced back and forth trying to grasp the situation. He paused and glanced up at his master that sat on the large thrown. His master was like his father in such a way, if it was not for his height he would have mixed them up. The young master sat snobbishly on his thrown, which was almost too big for him.

He watched his servant pace without a word until he became annoyed. “Are you done worrying, Haid? Because if you are, I would like to move on.” The horned creature immediately snapped out of it and returned to his young master’s side. He pushed a glossy red button on the arm of the throne that opened a circular section in the middle of the floor. The floor spat out a blank globe of thousands of thin metal sheets squeezed together tightly. The globe flashed repeatedly until an image swirled around it. A girl, about fourteen years old, trotted through a park, moody. She plopped on a bench surrounded by various trees and flower bushes. Her eyes glided across the tall buildings that created a fake sunrise and continually talked to herself for a minute while holding her gaze.

The young master rested his chin in the palm of his hand and smiled at the image. “It’s her. There’s no lie,” he said. Haid shook his head in disbelief then whispered to him, “It’s a girl, though.”

His master frowned at his comment. “It doesn’t matter, Haid. Deal with it.” Another creature swayed side to side getting his attention. She smirked and mocked Haid’s attitude.

Haid grunted and spat words at her in their own language. “I for one like the idea that it’s a girl,” she said sticking her tongue out. “Yes. It doesn’t matter what gender it is. What matters is that it’s here and we’ll soon meet her face to face.” She batted her eye lashes flattered at his response.

The horned creature groaned and glared at her. “Don’t we have something for the skin stealer? Like a job that keeps her mouth shut.” She rolled her eyes at Haid yet she waited for an answer from her master. “It would make me happy if my most loyal skin stealer would come up with an idea to get close to her.” “Already done my dear. But I can’t tell you it’s a surprise,” she said putting her index finger to her lips. They all stared at the image with different intentions. It will be a hard road for that kid Haid thought to himself. But there’s no other way to go.
