Chapter 31

Aerrow, Finn and Blinx were seated in a secluded corner of the Ballroom.

Radarr appeared carrying a tray of drinks as best as he could, but to his relief, Blinx took it from him before anything could happen and he happily took his place on Aerrows shoulder.

Blinx took a sip of her drink before she stared her story.
"I was born here, in the Atoms. At least that's what I was told. I know for a fact that I didn't grow up here, but I think I was summoned here, by Cyclonis."

Aerrow looked at her seriously "If you were born here why were you sent away in the first place? And why would Cyclonis summon you back?"

"You're asking the wrong questions Aerrow" Blinx told him
"Cyclonis herself told me I was sent away when I was nine, but for what reason I don't know. It must have been something I wasn't supposed to know, because apparently whoever sent me away had the idea to wipe my memories"

Aerrow nodded and looked to Finn "I think we need to visit Vapos, Domo"

Finn gave a grin "Oh yeah"

They reached the Terra Vapos a week and a half later. Nothing much had happened between the party incident and now except for a few typical Talon attacks.

And Blinx teaching Radarr to dance, which was quite entertaining itself.

Vapos was an interesting place, although it looked rather derelict rather than 'paved with marble and gold' as Piper had told her.

It turned out, as well as being home to the people, it was also inhabited by creatures called Verrocs that had plague the Terra for years.

Stork told her all this with a dark twisted glee that made his eye twitch in excitement.
Aerrow reassured her that there were no more Verocc attacks and told her the tale about how they, The Storm Hawks, had defeated them.

The most noticeable feature of Vapos was a squarish building with a round turret situated at the back. It sat above the other buildings on a hill with a long path leading straight to the door.
As soon as they were close enough to the building Finn ran full pelt at the doors and threw them open, yelling at the top of his voice and throwing his arms out dramatically.
He was greeted with applause and cheering.

Blinx looked to the others for an explanation.

"He's kinda their prophesised hero. They treat him like a god" Piper verified, giggling at strange look that came over Blinx' face.

'He's their hero? They're doomed...'

They entered through the doors and their eyes met the site of Finn seated in an outrageously fancy chair with people fawning, fanning and feeding him.

Blinx gagged at the site, as did Stork. The others merely rolled their eyes.

A blind old man, followed by a younger man, appeared from a corner
"Storm Hawks. It is a pleasure to see you again"

"It's good to see you again your majesty" Aerrow said

The young man beside the King did a double take of Blinx and then whispered into the old man's ear.
