Lift off
I look down with Soort by myside out of the rocket, I see Phillip, tears in his eyes
staring after us as we fly up out of the galaxy to Andromeda, Planet
Schrikwekkend. There we shall try and use its resources to come back and
defend the Earth against the Sun when it expands into a red giant and tries to
eat it up. Hopefully we can defend the Earth. Soort is bearing a child that she
hopes will have Macht, powers that shall defend her for the rest of her life.
Soort is gone I must now take care of her daughter.
I looked up into her young, innocent and sparkling green eyes and knew that
even though I was in quandary I must run and keep her safe from the evils of our
world. Lost in their beauty and the way they stare into your soul. Never would
those eyes know that wherever she goes, from the Wegs to the Lokes this young
girl would be welcomed and hated as she grew up.
Elia looked up at me, four years old; she would never know where her parents
went and what they sacrificed for her. Her life in grave danger everywhere she
went, little did she know that in time she would develop Macht, powers that
would defend her for the rest of her life. Her parents had had them too, a trait I
would later say that she got from her parents. Truth is, it wasnt passed down
from her parents but had something to do with her home planet, Earth. Tomorrow
would be her 1000th day on this planet, the day when she would develop her first
Macht.
Henry, whats wrong with me, the boy that bullies me, I wished for him to stop
and he did! Elia cried, looking up at me. Am I a freak?
Tears rolled down her soft, pale cheek as she wept in fear of what she was.
Dont worry, remember, it is just something your parents gave you. I murmur
in a gentle voice, I pat her head as she calms down to a whimper. Quietly I pick
her up and settle her down onto her bed. I watch her as she twists and turns
before finally settling down into deep sleep.

Dear Philip,
I have now been on this planet for four years, three on earth, approximately 1000 days
and your daughter has finally gained her first Macht.
Kind Regards,
Henry

This letter, I later would send to earth through a telegram, and then Ill know if
Earth survived.
Will there ever be a day when we can leave this planet, Shrikwekkend.

Chapter 1
I must keep Elias Macht a secret because if others found out, Elia would be
fought over and chances are, wars would be fought just like on Earth. Do we
want this to happen to Shrikwekkend? What if wars did end up breaking out, how
many people would die, just for one little girl, this is why we must keep Elias
powers secret. I return back to the telegram receiver and there it is a reply from
Philip.
Dear Henry,
Earth is in trouble but I am still alive. The sun has expanded a lot and has already
enveloped Mercury, it is moving slowly. They estimate it will hit Earth in 10 years.
Hopefully we can get off and find the planet that you are on. How is my wife, Soort? Have
u found any lassi yet?
Yours faithfully,

Phillip

Lassi, the mineral meant to be on this planet, Elia and I have to use it to deflect
the sun from hitting the Earth. Using an enlarge cube we can hopefully stretch
the lassi into a sheet that we can then put on the side of the ship. Lassi, the
strongest thing u could ever find. Hopefully even strong enough to deflect the
sun.
I tremble as I think of Elias mother, Soort who left us the moment we arrived and
had borne her child, Elia. Little would she know that now her child is four years
old and has already developed her first Macht. I think back to the moment she
left, her skin black, her eyes yellow, her ears blue, I remember looking at her
with hope as she entered the void hoping, for Elias sake she would survive. Now
it is just me with Elia on this foreign planet. We have been moving from place to
place on this planet on our groot voel, an animal from our home planet that can
carry us anywhere by flying.
As we sit on Vlieg, our groot voel with green feathers and a shiny purple red beak
I survey the beautiful ground beneath me, I look at the shiny grey castles
polished clean by wizards from the castles using the spells in the secret
language, our language, Earths language. On Earth the date is
1/1/5,000,002,0016. The date where the ancient calendar ends, the day where
the sun started to grow and ate up Mercury and only a mere 8 months after we
left.
My name is Henry, I was a wizard, still speaking the secret language that
conducted what we called magic. But I was assigned to take care of Elia because
of my strong skills and the fact that I have already gained my three main Macht,
compassion, healing and shielding.
The next morning I start to explain her Macht to her.
Elia, I need to tell you something, I say, You have powers called Macht and
telepathic persuasion is one of yours. You are different from the others, you are
not from this planet, you are from a planet called Earth. Havent you ever
wondered why we have Vlieg? Well Vlieg is from Earth.
Now go to school, Elia and enjoy your learning. I hear myself say, but in my
heart I know. We must fly away soon into the Ratty crevasses and there I shall
teach Elia magic and how to harness her Macht.
Where are we going? Elia asks me as we sit upon Vlieg flying towards the Ratty
crevasses, where our spaceship had landed, there I have all my tools that I shall
use to teach Elia.
We are going to where we landed, the Ratty Crevasses where I shall start to
train you to harness your Macht. I say gently.

Elia is cuddling against me as Vlieg battles the downdrafts and the constant
change in the climate, hot then cold then hot again but Elia doesnt seem to be
having problems with the change in temperature. We land and I carry Elia to the
rocket where I enter and plop her down onto her mothers old bed, a shiny
auburn coloured bed with a food input centre that is what we had to have to
survive while we were on the rocket.
As Elia sleeps I rummage through our belongings and find what I want, a Crystal.
A special crystal, dug out from deep inside a mountain on Earth. It is called
Kristal in the ancient language. It captured memories of Earth as we flew away
from it, so that one day I could use it to teach Elia about Earth, about its history
and about how we are going to try and stop the sun from expanding and finally
destroying Earth and all life on it.
Every day I will teach her how to control her Macht, how to get back to Earth and
how to survive if I die. She knows we are from Earth but what she also doesnt
know is why we have our Macht.
We got our Macht from the old wizards of Macht. They were from a planet called
Macht in the Hydra Galaxy. They taught us how to use Macht, how to control it
and how to travel between solar systems and galaxies. Without macht we would
never have come here and have a chance at saving the earth from the fast
expanding sun. At my calculations it will take the sun approximately 6 years to
fully envelope Earth. We would be stuck on this world, an oddity already, our
difference in looks has already caused many Shrics to dislike and distrust us.
Shrics is what the people of Shrickwekkend call themselves. They have horns,
white skin and look like us but they are cruel and mean. But they have never
done one thing that we always used to do on Earth, have wars.
