Chapter 8: Home at Last
Shun's POV
This is crazy. I'm in my room on my planet where I have a family. This is a lot to get used to, but for now I need to find a quiet place to think. When I was going to sit on my bed, I felt a gush of wind pushing me towards the door. I don't know where it's going to take me, but I decide to follow it anyway. It takes me into the hall where I'm even more amazed.
The walls where white but not plain, for they had picture of the past rulers of my planet. In between each portrait there was a picture of their family. Underneath each king's portrait, there was a table and a golden vase with roses that matched the color of their element. This is amazing, I can't believe I get to call this place home. A tear starts to form in my eye. "I actually get to call this place home." I had to whisper the words to myself since I never really had a true place to call home. It's not like me to let emotions get the best of me, but today I didn't care I let the tears fall down my face as I started to run down the hall.
I had no idea where I was going, but at the same time I knew exactly where I would end up. I took a right and then a left and another right... This continued for a while until I reached a bright green door with a curved handle that reminded me of the wind. Naturally I pushed open the door and climbed the tree that was before me. At the same time I let my emotions run wild. I just sat there and cried and loved every second of it.
I was finally able to get my emotions under control, so I jumped down from the tree to observe the interior of the room. The walls were green and white mixed together like a big swirl. There was a couch, a desk, a pool, and a tree that sat in the exact middle of the room. It was a strange room, but oddly enough this is the perfect room for me.
Knock knock
"come in!" I yell as I sat down on the white couch. To be honest I was scared of who would walk into the room since technically I haven't lived in a long time. To my supprise it was a guard he wore a white uniform with a blue trim.
"Who are you? And what are you doing in my castle!" The stern faced man said.
"I-i" he walked over to me and tied my mouth shut and handcuffed my hands. This was going to be an interesting day. He dragged me out of the room and into the castle halls we took a right and then a left and another right. This castle sure is a maze. Before I knew it we were standing in front of two huge doors. The doors were like no other the were mixed with the colors of the elements and were breath taking. When the guards opened the doors, we entered a huge throne room filled with pictures of the royal family. Along with the pictures were six chairs one for each of my brothers and one for me.
"Your majesty, I found this scoundrel lurking around the hall. What shall I do with him?" The Baird who handcuffed me was now talking to one of my brothers. I'm guessing he holds the subtera element since his hair was brown. He was about to speak when the doors behind us opened interrupting his train of thought.
"Release him at once!" I spotted Lucas and Alex from the corner of my eye. Immediately after he gave commands to the gaurs he followed them. "That's no way to treat our brother, right Alex?"
"That's right Lucas." The guard looked at me surprised and gave a quick bow and apologized. He then left the room.
"It can't be." The voice from the throne started. "Is this really our baby brother?" He said getting up to hug me.
"That's right Charlie. Shun's home." All of my brothers surrounded me and welcomed me home. I didn't know any of them but it felt like family. After we were done getting to know each other Lucas pulled me to the side to talk.
"Shun, we were wondering if you would like to stay with us here on Crystal for a few weeks. I mean you are our brother and we do need to teach you how to control your powers."
"What about Dan and the others they'll come looking for me."
"Actually Alex and I have something to tell you."
"We wiped their memories of the last couple of days and replaced it with you having to leave to take care of your grandpa."
"Well, I guess I'm staying here for a while then." I'm shocked at what they did but they are my brothers. Besides this was going to happen eventually.
