Chapter 25

Toran Kidnapped

Elana's P.O.V.

" Thank you for completing that job, Elana. We know that it must have been hard on you." I nodded gently before I spoke. " Thank you, Master Xan. I will be with Toran if you need me."

He nodded as I left the room. It's been two years since Kita and Lucien left. Toran misses her, but he knows that it was time for her to leave the place of her birth. So he knows that it was for the best, but it has been rather quiet since those two left.

The Varon Mystic had been in a debate for a couple of weeks. The Galactic Circle allied themselves with Skeleton King. They apparently, were the same ones that created the Dark Ones. They wanted revenge against the Varon Mystics for sealing them away so many centuries ago and were creating a new monster to complete that revenge against them. So, they asked me to wipe them out before it could be completed.

Master Xan knew about my need for revenge against them for what happened to father. They used their clone of Mandarin to free two of their creatures for that purpose. I could never forgive them for turning father into what he has become! He was an innocent man who did nothing wrong! I will never forgive them for what they did to the man who meant so much to me! He was the only one that I felt proud to call him my father! That was enough of a reason to agree to it, but I told Master Xan that there may be survivors that could have escaped my attention.

I reached Toran to find something shocking. Several hooded figures were holding Toran, who was trying to escape their grip. The cloaks they wore had had planet with a star in the middle. That was the symbol of the Galactic Circle! " Toran!"

The hooded figures noticed me. Then Toran replied to me with a panicked tone. " Mother! Please, help me!" I looked at the cloaked figures darkly with my ghost claws activated. Then one of the cloaked figures spoke warningly. Attempt to kill us, and your precious Toran will be killed! So, what will it be Elana!?"

I sighed as I deactivated my ghost claws, looking sad as I replied. " You win, just don't hurt Toran! He's all I have left to remind me of his father!" They smirked and took off with Toran, leaving me feeling helpless. After that, Master Xan came in and saw my helpless look.

He came up to me and asked me what was wrong. " What's wrong Elana" I looked at Master Xan, with tears in my eyes, as I replied. " Survivors of the Galactic Circle came and took Toran from me! They told me if I ever tried to kill them, they kill him!"

Master Xan patted me on my shoulder gently. Then he spoke to me in a caring tone. " I know that this is hard on you. Don't worry, we'll get him back, someday. How about you stay on Shugazoom and spend time with Antauri. It might help keep your mind off of things while we figure out what to do. You can always use the communicator to let me know of any problems while you're there." I nodded, thanking him as I put all of my things into my ship.

After I put everything in, I closed the hatch and took off towards Shugazoom. I know that when I get there in a couple of months, it will be a new year. I just hope that I can calm down enough to show myself to Antauri. I don't want him to worry about me any more than he has to.

However, maybe just by seeing him, he can make my happier. Now that Toran has been kidnapped by the Galactic Circle to make sure that I can't kill the survivors. Then there's Kita, who left two years ago to find her father with Lucien, not knowing that she's already met him. I might as well enjoy the time I have left with Antauri, before the Mandarin clone's betrayal is revealed.
