CHAPTER 3: T.O.D

In the building, all new Earthlings over the age of thirteen had to go through the process of the T.O.D, which stands for Test of Destiny. It meant that my oldest son and I had to take it.  

"Move quickly, this way!" someone barked curtly.  

The line gradually decreased as the people went through the purple crystal door. The kids and I waited anxiously, not knowing what to expect inside. 

When a seemingly friendly Toran approached, handing out some sort of fruit, I quickly grabbed his attention and asked, "Please tell me what is going on and what all this is? My kids are exhausted and afraid." 

"Don't worry. This will soon be over. Have some of these here, and you should feel a lot better." He passed the berries over to my children. "Everyone must go through the T.O.D. to be released into the city," he said, nodding towards my oldest son. "This is where you and he will discover your purpose and why you are here. Only the T.O.D. and our rulers behind it can tell you that. Go through that crystal door, and they will tell you what to do next." With that said, the Toran excused himself and began to walk away.

 "This is CRAZY! I know who I am!" I fussed indignantly. 

"Wow, Mom, these are really good. You should try some! I'm kind of full already," chirped my oldest, who had snuck some more berries.

"Calm down, Mom, you know how you get when you're mad," Serenity said. "I think we'll be ok!"

I just stood there, munching on the unknown berries, frustrated and angry. The whole thing seemed crazy to me. But with the massive line behind us and the shorter one ahead, there wasn't exactly anywhere we could escape. The closer we got to the doors, the more I panicked.

We were at the front of the line before I knew it. I touched Princeton's shoulder, pulling all my children closer as a Toran turned to us.

"Please enter now and wait to be let in," the Toran said. 

As we stepped through the doors, I noticed a tall wall with glass windows that led to another door. There was nothing else in sight.

"Only you and the oldest may enter through the door. Who shall go first?" said a tall Toran male who blocked the entryway. 

"I'll go first, Mom," Kevon bravely said. 

"I will be right here, ok, baby?" I assured him. 

After about two minutes, which felt like a century, my son came out with a confused expression. "Are you ok?" I asked.

 "Please proceed in," the Toran male said as I hesitated to move.

Kevon still had yet to respond to me. I swallowed hard and went to the door, looking back at the kids with hopeful eyes.

The door shut behind me, blocking them from sight. "Have a seat," said a voice from somewhere above me in the dimmed room I was standing in. The space was empty except for one weird chair sitting in the middle. Darkened crystal glass surrounded me.

I sauntered over, my hands clenched at my sides and sat down, glancing around in all directions defensively.

There was a bright flash of light, and I blinked, waiting for a response. A soft sound like a breeze emerged from above—whispers. Then another flash occurred, lasting longer than the first, and more concerning whispers filled the air. 

Tensed in my seat, I started getting out of the chair to hurry back to my kids, but a voice said, "Please don't move. Stay seated, Crystal of Lamarea." 

I stopped in confusion, eyes narrowed. How did they know my name? Before I could speak, three more bright flashes erupted. I closed my eyes after the first one, and a female voice said aloud: 

"You, Crystal of Lamarea, are now a warrior, a protector of this planet. From this moment onward and in the coming days, you will protect and fight for this city, our world." 

"What?" I asked, puzzled.  

"Now you may proceed out the door!" the male voice said.   

"Wait!" I shouted. "I'M A MOTHER! I'M NO WARRIOR! WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!" I yelled with rage, and suddenly, those blinding flashes burst through the room again.

Then, everything was dark and silent. 

There was no further response from the voices. The door opened, and someone rushed into the room, directing me to leave. Again, I yelled with more depth towards where the voices had come from above me, with eyes filled with anger and tears. 

 "WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT IS THIS?" 

The Toran male grabbed me by the arm. "You must leave now," he said, trying to budge me out of my stance. But he couldn't move me.

"I'M NOT ANYBODY'S WARRIOR! I'M NOT FIGHTING FOR THIS PLANET. YOU ALL ARE CRAZY!" I shouted. 

"Mom?" Serenity's worried voice drifted into the room from outside. That jolted me out of my anger enough to remember what was most important—keeping my kids safe. I pulled out of the Toran male's grip and hurried out of the room to my children. I held them close for a moment to let them all know this would be ok.

We would figure this out. We would find some answers.

Next, we were directed to follow someone to another location inside the building, supposedly to get further information about what would happen to us next. As we waited for what was sure to be another unwanted thing, Kevon turned to me with a half-astonished, half-confused look on his face. "Mom, they said I'm a warrior now!"

"Yeah, there is some weird shit going on around here!" I said and signed my words for Trevon, too. "They told me the same thing." 

"What, you are a warrior too? Cool!" Kevon replied. 

"What, Mom? You're a warrior?" Trevon signed with a shocked face. "Cool!" he added.  

"No, that's not cool! I can't be no damn warrior; it's insane!" I responded, agitated.  

The conversation was ended when a Toran female approached and directed us to another spacecraft.

"Where are we going now?" I demanded.

"I'm here to take you all over to Sisrun, where you will be staying," she said.

I still hadn't gotten all the answers I wanted, but the exhaustion was indeed setting into my bones. It would be nice to find a bed and get some sleep. Maybe all of this would make more sense in the morning.

We boarded when it was night, so our daytime was over quick. We later landed in front of a white stone dome home that sat in a small community of many other pearl-white dwellings. "We are here," she said.

We got out of the flying vehicle and walked up to the door.

"Push that button to open the door with your hand," she directed.

The automatic sliding door opened, welcoming the kids and me to our new futuristic environment. Small but doable, and you could hear the sounds of other people in nearby homes.

"This is where you will be staying; make yourselves at home. If you have any questions, simply press this button here and ask your question."

I went over and pressed the button she was pointing at the wall, frowning. "Hello?"

A hologram projector popped up with a male's face.

"Hello, how may I help you, Lady Crystal?" it responded.

"Oh shit!" I stared.

"Well, try and get some rest because someone will be here early to get everyone." the female Toran said before rushing out and ignoring me.

I stood in the middle of our new home, wondering, thinking, and worrying, while the kids rushed off to touch and mess with everything in sight.

Trevon flicked a switch, and the wall slid open to reveal a fridge stocked with drinks. In front of me were three closed doorways; Kevon approached one, activating it. He walked in to find a big floating bed and jumped on it. Trevon went to the other door and opened it to find two floating beds side by side. The last door revealed another bedroom with two beds as well.

Home for me and the kids was different now; I would say upgraded projects without petty crime. There were flip-out couches from the walls and a button that brought up a round display of pretty purple crystals into the middle of the home. The kids also learned how to color and draw pictures using a hologram. There was no TV for cartoons, news, or entertainment. Toran's technology was much more advanced. One push or slide of a button activates many self-serving things. There were lots of things to adjust to and learn about.

Later, I didn't waste any time trying to get comfortable in the floating bed because I was exhausted, and there was no need to fight my sleep. Still, I lay there for a while, wondering about everything that had happened, wondering whether Shawny or Amy, anyone else I knew back home, had made it here, too. I didn't want to consider what it might mean if they hadn't. We were fortunate to survive something. I sat and wondered what happened back in Miami and if my city was gone entirely.

My life had changed beyond my understanding all in one day. I had left a world and a city that I was so familiar with hate, love, racism, and poverty, a place where I thought all humanity dwelled. Only to survive and arrive in a new home and world with new meanings and order. I could only hope our lives would be better here.

Before I could fall asleep, my kids came and lay beside me, refusing to sleep alone in the other rooms.

* * *

I sure didn't sleep as soundly as I would've liked, but we made it through most of the sixteen-hour-long night before the loud voice of a hologram assistant woke us up.

"Lady Crystal, it is time to wake and begin your day!" the assistant said, popping up in front of the bed.

I sat upright with a jolt to see the kids spread out all over the bed and on me. My hair was a mess; I was a mess. I was so tired, and the sun wasn't even up yet. I fell right back down to sleep.

"Lady Crystal, it is time to wake and begin your day!" the assistant said again.

"What are you talking about?" I groaned.

"Your ride will arrive in 30 minutes."

I was just too tired to get up yet. But what felt like only a few seconds later, a loud buzzing noise truly jolted me from sleep, and I jumped up in shock, wondering what the hell that noise was. The doorbell? I heaved myself out of bed, went to the door, and opened it.

A Toran stood outside in the dark, eyes glowing red. The kids got up, too, and came to the door to see what was happening.

"Good day, Lady Crystal. Are you all ready for your first day of school and training," he said, staring down at the kids and me.

"School? What, we still have to go to school here?" Serenity asked.

"What if I say no?" I responded, crossing my arms.

"Well, I'm sorry to say you don't have much choice. You must follow the rules if you want to live and survive here in Tora. Let's go," he said as he turned around and headed to the spacecraft.

He wasn't playing; we only had time to throw on our shoes. We were all still sleepy, wearing the same clothes we'd slept in, and my and Serenity's hair was a mess.

"So, where exactly are we going?" I asked.

"First, we will drop the children off at school. They will learn the fundamentals of the Toran way of life and other essential skills."

"Sounds interesting. I'm glad I don't have to go," Kevon said with a yawn.

"Yes, you do have to go," the Toran said. "However, you will have some training throughout your day regarding your purpose."

I told him I wasn't feeling all the warrior talk, and they must be mistaken. "The rulers never make a mistake," was all he said.

"This is bullshit!" I said.

He looked down at me like I was crazy, and then we loaded into the spacecraft.

The Supernatural Magical Sci-Fi Fantasy

LIGHT OF OR'DRE CRYSTAL

The Supernatural Magical Fantasy 

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to create a fascinating tale about a single mother and her four children. As a single mother, I could draw from my experiences and weave them into the story, making it more relatable and authentic. There were times when I would envision events taking place in the story, and I would develop it further as the visions unfolded in my mind. Being a single mother is challenging, and I had to summon a lot of strength and courage to continue providing the best possible environment for my children. Although I don't possess the extraordinary powers that Crystal has in "Light Of Or'dre Crystal," I firmly believe that a mother has all the necessary powers to overcome the various challenges of parenting.

WHAT HAPPEN TO LADY CRYSTAL AND HER CHILDREN?

Crystal was a single mother of four, struggling to make ends meet on a dying Earth. When the world as she knew it ended, she and her children found themselves transported to a new and unfamiliar world. They were greeted by a group of people who claimed to know who they were and why they were there.

As Crystal and her children adjusted to their new surroundings, they quickly realized their lives were in danger. Evil forces lurked in the background, eager to take hold of the gifts that Crystal and her children possessed. These gifts are essential to the survival of their new world, and a hidden force is there to help Crystal maintain balance and peace.

The conflict began with the inciting incident of the end of Earth, which forced Crystal and her family to adapt to a new way of life on a planet called Lamarea. As Crystal learned to navigate this new world, she encountered various challenges that tested their strength and resilience. 

Crystal and her children were cornered by hidden enemies as the conflict climaxed. When Crystal's children were in danger, it seemed as though all hope was lost, but the love that she had for her children helped give her power to defeat their foes who threatened them. 

Ultimately, Crystal learns some vital information that will change the course of her and her family's lives. They also learned valuable lessons about the importance of family, resilience, and the power of their own gifts. Their journey was a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that there is always hope, even in the darkest times.

Chapter 2: Our First Trip

 “Mom, Mom!” Kevon repeated.

I opened my eyes to a strange quietness, lights, and a peculiar place. Our closet had turned into a spaceship. Or had it been one all along? I had no idea. I was lying on the floor while everyone sat in small built-in chairs. Poor little Princeton had cried himself to sleep while holding his toy and was sitting up close under Trevon, just staring. Serenity was asleep in her chair in a cradle position. I could also faintly see a guy and a child sitting on the other side of the spacecraft. He was breathing heavily while consoling the young child. 

Kevon was there next to me, trying to get me up. 

“Mom, we are flying in space; look!” he spoke with confusion and shock.

I slowly sat up and took in the ship’s darkness and the specks of light surrounding us. Out of nowhere, a massive flash of bright light lit up space outside the windows, and the ship really took off, lurching toward it. 

Serenity woke up crying. “Mommy!”

Quickly, I got in one of the seats next to her and noticed seat belt straps. I started to strap Serenity down.

“Mommy, I’m scared!” Serenity said.

“I know, baby, but put this seat belt on for safety, ok? We will be ok, don’t worry!”

Kevon saw what I was doing, got in his seat, and buckled down. I put Trevon’s on, and Princeton woke up and wrapped his arms around my neck. I kissed Princeton on the head and told him everything would be okay as I hurriedly strapped him down. But the ship jerked again, and I almost lost my grip and fell again into a seat. Measuring how fast we were moving was hard, but it must’ve been close to light speed. Before we knew it, we were bathed in that brightness I’d seen out the window. It felt like a roller coaster to the kids as they sat in fear, clutching their armrests. I was terrified, too, and overwhelmed with exhaustion, but I kept trying to reassure them. 

Finally, the ship idled down for a smoother ride. It lasted for about two minutes. The light fell behind us, and we were flying back into the darkness.

Time traveled as we traveled out into nowhere. 

“It’s ok, let’s close our eyes and try to relax. I’m not sure what is happening, but let’s try not to worry,” I said, breathing hard.

“Mom, this is crazy! Are we going to die?” Kevon asked.

“Don’t say that,” I snapped. “We will be fine. We just have to think positive. Something happened, and we are here and safe, ok?”

I was praying to God; it was the truth.

While Serenity and Princeton sat opposite me, I rubbed their heads and gently sang, “Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Princeton. Happy birthday to you! How old are you, sweetie?”

“I’m six years old,” Princeton said with a shaky voice. He sat there twiddling with his toy action figure and, after a while, drifted off to sleep again. 

The rest of them eventually joined him, and it was super quiet. I just stared out into a mental state of space. Dots of stars flickered out there in the dark as we continued for hours. I wondered if we were still in the Milky Way or somewhere even farther? Sitting there, I knew things were different, and my intuition was telling me something was wrong, or maybe right? I had never felt so lost and confused as I did then. I wondered where the ship was heading and what was in store for us when we arrived. 

A drop and a jerk to the ship woke us up after a long time. We weren’t surrounded by dark space anymore. We had landed somewhere. A door on the small spacecraft opened on its own, displaying a paradise in front of us, making my eyes widen as big as moons. The place was beautiful—no, scratch that, it was gorgeous beyond description. No movie or portrait could’ve possibly displayed what lay before our eyes—beautiful, weird, humongous trees, flowering plants, and mountains full of greenery.

I felt my body and spirit elevate. I exited the ship first, anxious and amazed. It was so bright outside that it soon became a little unbearable. Everyone else came out of the spaceship behind me, slowly entering a new world, bug-eyed and frightened to the core. The guy who had traveled with us and his young son stood there just as shocked.

“Wow, I can’t believe what I’m seeing,” he said.

Oh, but we were not alone. An unknown, more massive spacecraft slowly approached us, gliding over our heads.

“Look, Mommy!” Serenity yelled.

“Should we run and hide?” asked Kevon.

“No, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I said, putting my hand on Serenity’s shoulder. “Let’s just stay calm.”

The spacecraft hovered over us briefly before lowering to the ground right before us. We were all straining our eyes through the harsh sun.

“I’m scared, Mom!” Trevon signed.

“I know you are, son, but just try to stand still and…”

A door opened on the spacecraft side, and a very tall figure walked into the doorframe. 

“…try to stay calm,” I finished.

But my children didn’t listen. Trevon ran back into the ship, and Serenity and Princeton hid behind me, peeking around my body. I couldn’t blame them. It wasn’t until the native walked out and came closer that we could see who or what was there. 

The dark-skinned woman must’ve been nearly eight feet tall. Her skin gave off a bright glow between her brown fitted one-piece suit, and her presence intoxicated the air with power. She had an afro, reddish eyes, robust facial features, body piercings, native jewelry, and a radiant smile with perfect teeth.

“Welcome to Lamarea!” she said. 

I glanced behind me at Trevon, who stood gaping at the stranger in the ship's doorway.

“Lamarea means ‘Love Cures All,’” the tall lady explained. “My name is Shuntreal, and I am chief in charge of the citizens of the city of Tora. You are safe with me, but you must come with me to learn more and meet the rulers of Lamarea!”

She looked down at Trevon and the rest of us with a warm smile.

“Please come! Don’t worry, and you will all be safe.”

Another tall female native emerged from the ship behind her, smiling, and walked toward us. She stood there just as tall, with robust features, but with long, silky black hair down her back. She passed out some weird sunglasses for us.

“Put these on, and they will help you see through the powerful sun rays until your eyes have adjusted,” she continued. 

The female's commanding yet nurturing voice said, “You must come with us to stay safe and learn more about yourselves and why you are here.” 

Safe? Well, we were standing in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by unfamiliar things, and life as we knew it was gone. So, really, what else could go wrong? And what other choice did we have but to go with them? So, we did.

Their ship was a whole lot bigger than ours. The kids seemed less afraid now, more amazed and curious about the cool appearance and the unexplainable gadgets. Our guide led us to seats and requested we fasten in for safety.

Chief Shuntreal sat up front with another native who seemed to be the ship's pilot. She turned around and smiled at us before we lifted into the air. Once we were gliding smoothly, Chief Shuntreal started to talk.

"Only a portion of you have come to us from Earth. It was destined to happen this way, but some who have arrived have already been taken over to the darker side of this planet, where rebellious Lamareans live, committing harmful actions. We will take you to Tora, where it's safer."

"Where are we?" I asked. "What world is this?"

"You are in the Lyseteca Galaxy, two hundred light-years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. Here, we have three bright green moons at night: Burtle, Trayque, and Sytrex. For us, our days are short, only eight hours, and our nights, sixteen hours. As you can see here in Lamarea, our sun shines bright blue in the sky. You can breathe and exhale as you did on Earth. But it's very bright here! Your skin tone may start to change, and your eyes may begin to shine bright red. Our drinkable water comes from our gold rivers and wells. Here, we eat no meat, only what our trees and plants produce."

"Ok, wow, this is a lot to take in," the guy with us said with an awkward laugh. "I just don't understand…why did we come here?"

"You were chosen to come here, and most likely, you were probably here before and did not remember. You have a mission, a reason you are here, and only the rulers can tell you that. But I can tell you that your planet is dying, the people on Earth are dying, and it was destined to happen due to uncontrollable natural events and other outside forces. I know it may be hard to understand now, but somehow, you and others are part of Lamarea."

"Yes, this is hard to understand," I nervously said. "My kids and I were just at a birthday party, and now we are sitting in a flying spaceship. It's…well, some crazy shit. Earth is our home. How do we get back to it?"

"There is no going back to Earth—as I said, that planet is dying. You and your family are safe now. You may not have asked to be here, but you are safe and here for a reason. It may take some time, but soon, it will feel like home. I will be honest with you: Lamarea is different but better than Earth in many ways. However, we too still face evil here, in a form that none of you are yet ready or capable of facing."

"What do you mean, evil?"

"Our planet is divided by the wide, deep gold sea called Nasaha, which you can see over there in the distance." She pointed out the spacecraft windows.

We all followed her gaze to a vast glowing sea surrounded by tall mountains and miles of forest.

"On the other side of those mountains, Devronton dwells. He means no good to us or this planet. Those on the other side with him follow his way and refuse to follow Tora's righteous leaders. She is called Narilla, and he is called Munsum.

You don't have to worry about him as long as you all stay close to Tora's city. We are here now, come now!"

The ship landed swiftly, and Shuntreal stood up and walked off.

I sat there for a moment in confusion. It was a lot of information to digest, and I couldn't stop replaying everything she'd said in my mind while feeling as if it was all a dream or something.

Eventually, we all got up and departed the ship close together in silence, not knowing what to expect next. But after we disembarked and walked away from the spaceship, Trevon pointed with excitement, and wow, the silence was broken. We stopped dead in our tracks, mouths open and eyes bug-wide when we saw the giants. The giants stood about thirty feet in height with long black ponytails swinging behind them as they strode down a pathway nonchalantly. Many other Toran people walked alongside them with their different skin tones and bright reddish eyes.

"Mommy, what is that?" Serenity pointed at a different kind of creature, some sort of animal walking next to a native.

I took my attention off the flying vehicles passing over our heads to notice what she was observing. "Oh, those are called Ebaucs. Each Ebauc is different here, as your animals back home," Shuntreal explained from where she stood.

Some creatures didn't resemble the Toran race or any animal from Earth, like the green six-legged ones that kind of looked like camels with no humps or the long, pink, blue-eyed thing that wrapped itself around a Toran female's neck. As the kids gazed at it incredulously, the creature suddenly unwrapped itself and hopped on two feet on the woman's shoulder as if in a defensive mode.

Now, in the city of Tora, buildings stood high like skyscrapers. The buildings were undeniably different and beautiful in their way. The scene felt too unreal as if we were in a movie, but we were not, and I wasn't acting. The buildings surrounding us were all different in circle dimensions and colors. Some were shiny like glass crystal cups, and others were like mirror bubbles. We couldn't help but notice how weird and different the natives looked. Some were bald; some had long or thick hair. We, humans, gawked at them in awe, and the Lamareans stared back with their reddish eyes. Their deep voices spoke in broken English and some other unfamiliar language, but I felt it so strongly.

Other similar ships had also landed on the unknown planet. Hundreds of other humans had made it from Earth to this seemingly peaceful yet complex place. They emerged wide-eyed and blinking, like the rest of us.

It all felt like a dream; with all that had unraveled quickly, I had forgotten entirely about the strangers who had traveled with us. When the man started talking to me, it took me a few moments to realize he was trying to have a conversation.

"How the hell did we get here?" he said, furrowing his brow, his face a little sweaty and his hands fidgeting. "Please pinch me hard so I can wake up from this dream."

"I'm afraid this is not a dream," I responded quietly, almost to myself.

I realized in all the chaos, we'd never properly introduced ourselves. Still, before I could do so, a booming baritone voice interrupted, "NEWCOMERS TO TORA, THIS WAY TOWARD T.O.D. TO CHECK IN WITH THE OPERATORS TO START YOUR TEST!"

After following the voice with instructions, the children and I ended up in front of a tall building that looked like crystal. In front was a long line leading up to a glass door. Powerful-looking warriors heavily protected the place. Warriors who stood tall, firm in shiny fitted garments and weapons strapped to their backs or sides.

We stood outside the building for a while and finally made it through the glass door and inside the fantastic structure. The building had many levels. Heavy marble-like floors and crystal-like walls surrounded the first level, and a vast waterfall structure rested in the middle. Hundreds of newcomers from Earth entered the first main level of the building. The Torans guided everyone into place, which defused any unexpected chaos.

"This way to check in with the operators for your test," said a loud Toran man.

We got in another long line in front of a purple crystal door. Behind the door flashed bright blue lights that flickered on and off as the line decreased.

"Mama, I'm hungry," said Princeton.

"I know, baby. Let me see what I can do," I answered, looking around, mind running with endless questions.

"And what freakin test?!" I asked out loud.

Magical Storytelling Podcast | The Tale of the Blues

DARK FANTASY

Blue Moon of Ake Part 1

&

Noddy Blues Part 2

Several years ago, I began crafting a mesmerizing series that revolves around a fascinating and immortal moon goddess named Jinabadi, also known as Ba'di, who lives multiple lives in diverse parts of the world. In the first tale, "Blue Moon of Ake," Jinabadi's journey takes her to the ancient and mystical land of Ake, situated on the African continent. Jinabadi is consumed by bitterness and destructiveness at this juncture in her existence, unleashing a demoralizing path of war. Her overwhelming anger and insatiable thirst for power and wealth arise from a previous life where she suffered from heartbreak and devastation. As the story progresses, Jinabadi continues to wreak havoc in Ake, causing mayhem and chaos at every turn.

I first wrote it as a prose before creating the audio version. Narrating, recording, and editing the story was a long but gratifying process. I was determined to develop a more entertaining, dramatic, theatrical audio version to bring the story to life even more.

You can now experience the magical storytelling podcast as it tells a tale of the Queen who confronts love and an enemy from her past. She had a hand in creating a powerful monster who is now angry with her due to her past actions. She must face the consequences of her actions and deal with the situation. However, the story doesn't end there. She finds a way to move forward into the future, away from the danger of death. This now brings in part 2, "Noddy Blues," which is the sequel to Blue Moon of AKe.

"Blue Moon of Ake" part 1 is a captivating narrative podcast that offers a glimpse into the world of Ba'di, a magical character with incredible powers. The story is masterfully crafted and engagingly narrated, making it a must-listen for anyone who loves a good story.

However, when I think of powers and magic, I see no limits, no stereotypes, no moralistic characters, only intriguing tales of characters who possess unique abilities that they use to achieve their goals, whether those goals are good or bad. In the case of Jinabadi, a character in the book 'BMOA', she is on a mission to achieve her goal, which some may consider evil.

It's important to remember that villains have their own stories, and Jinabadi has a fascinating history, extraordinary powers, and an incredible transformation. She is a potent force who can use her magic to create or destroy. She can extend her magic beyond what we can imagine with her powers derived from the deep shadows and the moon's illuminating light."

Earth Angel: A Short Magical Fantasy of Courage and Compassion Amidst War's Chaos

I'd like to share a magical story I wrote a few years ago. It's called "Earth Angel," and it was inspired by a true story that moved me deeply. The story recounts the life of an amazing nurse who faced numerous challenges while trying to help those in need because of her race and background. Her strength and courage inspired me, and I felt compelled to create an imaginative and magical version of her story.

Created by Dala Dala

While I tried to keep most of the story true to life, I also infused it with my magical touch to bring it to life in a highly creative way. The story is a testament to the power of creativity, and I'm excited to share it with you.

As someone who has worked in the health field for a while, I know the effort required to ensure the health and safety of others. Nursing is a profession that demands hard work, dedication, and compassion. It is an honor to care for others in this way, and I hold great admiration for those who persevere despite the many challenges that come with this field.

Earth Angel is a short historical fantasy with magical elements that showcase the life of a girl who grows up to become a nurse. Through the story, you'll experience some of the most important moments of her life, from her childhood to adulthood. It is an empowering, magical, and inspirational story that will touch your heart.

If you're interested in learning more, I invite you to be among the first to listen to Episode 1 of Earth Angel, which will air soon in 2024. This is a unique opportunity to delve into a story that I hold dear, and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

High Fantasy Magical Fiction | Light of Ordre Crystal

Chapter 1: The Birthday Party

The light and her familiar, comforting voice started to fade as I rolled over with my exhausted body. I could hear their voices down the hall as I awoke to a burnt smell that fated Saturday morning, December 3rd, 2022. 

“WHAT IS THAT SMELL?” I yelled.

“TREVON DID IT!”

“DID WHAT?”

“BURNT OATMEAL IN THE MICROWAVE!”

Oh-my-gosh was an understatement. The house was a messy disappointment, reeking of smoke and burnt breakfast, and my four children were sitting in the living room two arguing over the Xbox game. I didn’t have the time or the patience to deal with the sibling war going on. As a mom, sometimes you must tune it out and keep moving or never get anything done. 

Before heading out of the bedroom, I remember glancing at my ragged face in the mirror, still drained from the long shift I’d worked the previous day. I was mentally praying for the strength to make it through the day. After gathering my thoughts and the clothes I wanted, I went out to see what the children were doing.

I signed to my deaf son Trevon, “How did you do that? You better clean that mess up!”

My frustration shifted with a quick smile when I received a warm hug from my youngest son, Princeton. 

“Happy Birthday, baby!” I told him with a hug and a fat kiss.

He beamed excitedly and returned to playing with his toy action figures on the floor.

It was chaotic as usual, getting everyone ready to go somewhere. I yelled at the boys as I rushed to finish my daughter’s hair or tried to get everything packed up. Serenity had a tender head of long, kinky hair, and she always gave me a hard time doing it. 

“Ouch! That hurts!” Serenity wiggled and whined while I was trying to comb her hair. 

“I’m almost done, sweetie; here’s some bubble gum, but you need to be still, ok?” I told her. Something sweet usually did the trick of keeping her distracted.

With Serenity sitting on the floor between my legs, the two older boys occupied with the video game, and the little one engaged with his toy action figures, I started worrying we would be late.

 “Kevon, tell your brother to help you clean up in there so we can get ready to go. Serenity, I’m all done. Your clothes are on your bed. Get dressed, sweetie. We need to hurry up so we can get there early.”

It was a miracle that my children listened, and we managed to leave the house on time. Thank God! 

While I finished loading up a few things in the van, some guy who walked by started hitting on me. This was the norm around my block. 

Some days, it was, “Hey, sexy momma, you need some help with that?” 

Or any variation: “Hey, come here, what’s yo name?”

“Where yo man at?”

“You fine; you need a thug in yo life.”

It got to the point where I stopped replying to them. I usually just rolled my eyes and kept it moving because Lord knew it wouldn’t be anything nice if I did respond.

That day I was in a rush, and his ass was left standing there as I got in the van and slammed the door.

The kids were at it, arguing again. “Would ya stop!” I said.

Trevon had a scowl on his face. “She always sits here!” he signed. “It’s my turn!”

“I was sitting here first!” Serenity cried.

“Look, CeCe, let your brother sit there, and you can sit there on the way back,” I told Serenity to diffuse the situation.

Serenity didn’t want to move and started to whine. 

“Move over, Cece, we don’t have time for this!”

She sucked her teeth and finally moved out of the seat.

Packed and ready, I drove to the well-anticipated Planet Lamark, a family fun recreation center. It was always a good feeling to drive away from my home in Miami, which was in the projects, or what some would call low-income apartments. Either way, you wanted to describe them; nothing about them felt like home. 

It seemed like someone was always getting hurt or killed in our community. And if there weren’t any killings, there was a robbery and other petty crimes. Some were disrespectful and untrustworthy. Some were loud and messy, throwing trash everywhere or blasting music any time, day or night.  

You always had to watch your back and hope no one would try you. I barely let my kids outside to play, worried someone might hurt them or they would catch a stray bullet or something. However, I had to accept my conditions and make the best of them, no matter what. I kept the faith, knowing that one day, my work at the fast-food joint would be replaced with something more financially rewarding. I always dreamed of a way out because there was no peace. 

Little did we know, this was the last time we’d ever see our home.

“Mom, can we get ice cream when we get there?” Kevon asked.

Princeton chimed in, “Oh, I want some ice cream too!” 

“Yes!” I answered.

We arrived at Planet Lamark to see a packed parking lot and the sun shining off the ocean on the other side. My kids couldn’t wait to get out of the van. I signed to my son Trevon and told my oldest son to help get the stuff out of the back and to be careful; Princeton didn’t see any of his birthday gifts. 

“I can’t wait to get on the flying tunnels,” Trevon signed.

“You all need to behave in there,” I reminded them. “And Princeton, stay close to me.” They all seemed to be listening, though it was clear their excitement levels were maximum as we approached the building.

My homegirl Amy greeted me at the entrance with her three-year-old son holding her hand, and over to far-right inside sat a few other guests. 

“Hey, girl,” Amy said.

“Hey!” I said, excited to see her.

Another good friend of mine, Shawny, also came up to say hi. “Girl, look at them; they are getting so big!”

“Yes, they are! Thank you both for coming!” 

“Mom, can we go play?” Kevon was practically bouncing on his feet. 

“Yes, go ahead, but Princeton and I will be over there.” I pointed to an area near our table for smaller children to play.

They dropped the bags and ran off without looking back. Shawny helped me pick up the few bags, and we went to the table to set everything up.

After the final finishing touches on Princeton’s cake and decorations, I took a seat.

The day finally started to lighten up a little. It was nice to see all the young gens running around and playing. Amy was chasing behind her little one, yelling, “Get down, come here!” like twenty times, and Shawny’s two big boys were playing with mine. It was so great to see my girlfriends. We didn’t always get together much because we all worked our asses off.

“No, now stop your crying, or we are going home!” Amy snapped at her son.

It was a little chaotic in Planet Lamark that day because it was crowded, with kids running every which way.

I kept an eye on my children while I snacked on some french fries. God knows I loved them dearly. I would’ve done anything to protect them. I was blessed with four: my oldest boy, Kevon, fifteen; my twelve-year-old son, Trevon; my ten-year-old daughter, Serenity; and my youngest son, Princeton, who was turning six. Trevon had developed hearing loss due to chronic ear infections, and it had been an emotional challenge to overcome and come to grips with. But I never treated him any differently from my other kids or treated him like a handicap. 

I had bathroom moments where I would cry about certain situations that took a toll on a hard-working single mother. However, one thing I refused was to allow my children to see me hurt and crying. But at times, it was too much, too depressing and draining. I worked my ass off day and night at a fast food joint, making only a little over minimum wage. I didn’t have family support or much help with the kids, besides the food stamps, child care assistance, and housing discount, which helped me barely get by. Oh, and their father, don’t even ask about him—thinking about him just added to the depression. 

As far as any other family, I had none; I’d grown up in a group home, praying my mother would walk in looking for me one day. Sometimes, my dreams felt so real I could hear her calling my name in my sleep, “Crystal, wake up, let’s go.” I would jolt awake and be blinded by a blur. But she never did show up.

So I gave up on those dreams of ever seeing her or having a family and ended up on Miami’s rough streets, selling drugs and experiencing things I had no business around. It wasn’t until I met my kid’s father out there and ended up pregnant with Kevon that my whole perspective on life changed. I finally had a reason to want to live and do better. 

Life taught me a lot the hard way. Still, despite it all, I always managed to keep enough strength to get whatever needed to be done DONE. And I continuously reassured my children how much I loved them. My kids gave me the power to keep going. 

I learned that time heals everything, keeps going, and doesn’t wait for anyone.

* * *

I sat there that day in Planet Lamark, happily watching my daughter play on the other side of me with her long, thick hair swinging wildly because she’d lost her hair bows like always while Princeton was enjoying himself on the vending machines. My two oldest sons were picking on each other inside one of the playrooms. 

I gazed through a huge glass window that displayed the endless ocean, daydreaming occasionally. Since the days of living at the group home, I always caught myself in a deep daydream, sometimes not even remembering what I was thinking.

“Crystal, girl, let me tell you!” Shawny snapped me out of my thoughts as she came over to me. “Ok, so I went to the store the other day, and guess who was there and acting stupid?”

“Mmm, let me guess? No, thank you, I don’t even want to say the wrong name,” I responded with a smirk. 

Before she could say the name I dreaded hearing, Princeton approached me. 

“Momma, Momma, can I open it, please?” He jumped with excitement, clutching a gift in his hand.

“No, not now, wait just a little bit longer,” I told him.

But Princeton was persistent like he always was, and I gave in and let him open it. I had to save up a lot for the one gift he would love the most.

He ripped open his gift to find a blue superhero action figure—Ground Zero—that he’d seen on TV and begged me to get him. He stared at his toy with happiness, looked up at me, and thanked me. He gave me the sweetest hug and immediately started playing with his toy.

“Wow, Princeton, that’s a cool toy!” Shawny expressed.

It felt good to see his happy face. Working all those extra long hours and saving up for his special day had been worth it.

“So tell me, Shawny, who was it?”

Shawny smacked her lips and said, “Girl, Corey.”

I rolled my eyes. “I figured it was him, and I don’t want to mess up my day talking about him.”

“Right, I hear you, oh, dog!” she said.

Princeton returned to me a few minutes later because he was thirsty, so we headed to the concession stand. This dark, tall, older, pretty lady approached us on the way. She had an afro, big earrings, and a friendly smile. I didn’t see where she’d come from; it was like she just popped up right in front of us.

The lady smiled at Princeton and told him, “Happy birthday, little prince of Lamark.”

Princeton was too busy playing with his toy, so I got his attention. “Princeton, she said happy birthday to you.”

He looked way up towards her face, a little confused. 

“Say thank you, baby!” I told him.

Princeton said thank you in his soft voice.

“You’re welcome, Prince. Have fun on your special day,” the lady said, smiling at us before walking away.

Princeton and I walked over to the concession counter. Still, I watched the woman walk away, twisting my mouth a little. I had a strange feeling I knew her from somewhere but couldn’t place it.

“Yes, can I get four small fruit punches, please?” I told the young guy behind the counter.

After he handed me the drinks, I gave Princeton his and carried the others back to the table. On the way back over, I caught sight of a window and frowned. It became gloomy and dark outside, and I knew it was about to storm. It was the fastest weather change I’d ever seen. The sun was slowly disappearing, and an ominous feeling overwhelmed me as the clouds slowly turned three shades darker over the ocean.

“Is there a storm coming?” Shawny asked from behind me.

“Looks like there just might be,” I said. Everyone else nearby was starting to notice, too. Some parents were wrapping up and leaving because they didn’t want to be caught in any storm. I wasn’t worried until the wind blew even harder, rattling against the windows. 

Amy walked over to us, looked out the windows, and widened her eyes. “Oh, wow, it looks bad outside. I didn’t hear anything about a storm today on the news.”

“Yeah, neither did I,” I said.

“I’m so sorry, Crystal, but we better head out since it’s a two-hour drive back home,” Amy said. 

Her little one was clearly getting tired, too, so I didn’t blame her. We said goodbye, and then Shawny and I started wrapping everything up to leave soon. Though my children sure didn’t look like they’d be happy about it.

Suddenly, a massive brush of wind against the windows shook the whole building and startled everyone.

“Oh shit,” Shawny said. “Girl, I’m going to head out before it gets too bad outside. Will you be ok?”

“Yes, I’ll be fine,” I said. “We’re getting out of here now, too.”

I went to round up the children, and in a matter of seconds, the wind had picked up so hard it was taking down trees and throwing debris around outside. My heart began to drum hard as I looked on anxiously. The wind roared, and the ocean waves rose to threatening heights; people ran wildly on the sand, racing back to their cars. I quickly grabbed Princeton and yelled for my daughter to come on as the panic sank deep into my skin. By now, everyone was rushing out of Planet Lamark.

With the youngest two accounted for, I urged them to hurry to get the older boys. 

“MY TOY!” Princeton cried out and pulled away from me. He ran back in the opposite direction. 

“Princeton!” I yelled as I grabbed Serenity’s hand to chase after him.

We pushed through the messy crowd to find Princeton grabbing his action figure toy off a chair. I took his hand and hurried back towards the playroom.

The building was shuddering so hard, and it sounded like it was ready to cave in on us. I glanced outside to see cars were upside down, sliding across the parking lot, and I damn near fainted when I saw Shawny’s car being tossed over in the wind. 

Her name escaped my lips in a yell, even though there was no way she could hear me.

I was standing there in shock when everything went silent, and the world seemed to slip into slow motion. My kids were tugging on my arms and calling my name over and over. Suddenly, a big man rushing past bumped me back into awareness.

I grabbed their hands and rushed to the playroom with the maze of high tunnels connected to the ceiling. 

I spotted Kevon coming out of a slide and yelled in fear, “Let’s GO! WHERE’S YOUR BROTHER?

“Up there!” He pointed to one of the tunnel tubes.

“Hurry, go get him!”

We stood there fearful as Kevon returned to the tunnels to get him. Meanwhile, the chaos heightened further as the wind entered, first attacking the roof. I was losing my mind and my balance. The ground beneath us was moving! It went from people yelling and trying to get outside to their cars to them screaming, running, pushing and shoving, and frantically trying to get back to safety indoors. The wind’s forceful howls clashed with the people’s cries, and the world boomed with a mighty noise.

My oldest ran to me wide-eyed, saying, “He won’t come! He won’t get down!”

He tried pulling and grabbing his brother out, but all to no avail. He refused to get out and come down. Trevon couldn’t know what was going on deep inside the tunnels because, to him, everything seemed normal, and he couldn’t hear the madness surrounding him below. 

I could locate him crawling through a tunnel with see-through windows, and I caught his attention. I looked up at him indignantly.

“GET OUT! WE NEED TO GO NOW!”

He looked back at me blankly and blinked.

“But I don’t wanna go,” he signed.

“LET’S GO NOW,” I huffed at him.

He always seemed to try me in any situation, and now he was having too much fun to take me seriously. My hands were held by my two frightened and shaking young ones. But with all the loudness and my fear rising by the second, he must’ve realized something was wrong because he finally listened to me and started crawling out. 

I was fighting back the tears, and my chest hurt from the terror as I clenched my children close. Trevon was making his way to me through the tunnel, but suddenly, the whole jungle gym and tunnel shifted and started to fall apart. I damn near lost my mind when I saw the other end crash to the ground. 

“Trevon!” I shouted, running over, praying he wasn’t inside. 

“Here he is, Mom!” Kevon said behind me.

I spun around to see Kevon helping Trevon out of the other end of the gym. He was ok. 

“Trevon, look around; we have to get to safety!” I signed to him.

“What’s going on?” he signed. 

“A hurricane or something is happening!”

At that point, Serenity was crying, and I had no idea what to do. Now, with all my children by my side, all I could think of was getting to a safer place indoors. So we took off through the swarms of people and a deteriorating building. 

Mother Nature was sure pissed off, and she had turned deadly. Ceilings cracked loudly, glass windows shattered, the walls shook, and stuff began flying around in the wind. My mind could mute the sounds long enough so I could think and react. Although my heart was pounding, I felt a drive take over that made me forget the fear. 

At first, we were hurrying toward nowhere until I suddenly spotted the woman from the snack bar earlier go through a door at the end of a hallway, so we headed in her direction. The lights went out before we could reach the door, drenching us in darkness. We needed to get out of the hallway and into any room I could find. The kids were panicking and staying close to me as I tried the first two doors near us, but they were locked. Finally, we found a door at the end of the hallway, and it opened.

Utter darkness greeted us on the other side. I tried for a light switch but couldn’t find any—and it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway. I couldn’t tell what kind of room we were in, but it was a small room, which felt more like a closet.

 I quickly closed the door behind us, softening the shrill sounds, and told the kids, “Get down, get closer, and cover your heads.”

Then, there was a shake on the doorknob, and the door opened. I glimpsed a tall body and what appeared to be a young child.

“Is there anybody in here?” a man’s voice said. 

“Yes, there are people in here.”

“Can we come in here with you?” he asked.

“Yeah, come in.”

They scooted inside; I shut and found a way to lock the door. We were cramped in the space. Then I wrapped my shaking arms around my four, more worried than I’d ever been in my life. I was picturing the worst and hoping for a miracle to happen.

Suddenly, there was a startling loud BOOM, shaking the whole room. My daughter screeched with fear, and my heart ached. I felt weak and faint. All I could do was drop my head down in exasperation. 

As I faced the ground, I noticed something weird: a sparkling purple light near the floor that lit up on and off. Next, there were clinking metal sounds, and without warning, the whole room jerked and jumped, tossing our bodies into one another. Dizziness took over; my body felt light, as if it were floating.

There was another jolt, and my body was sucked back to the floor as the room took off like a racing roller coaster. I couldn’t understand what was happening as small black shades slid up on the walls, revealing glass windows to the outside. 

We were in the sky, moving away fast from destruction, and the pressure was becoming unbearable. My children’s cries were heard faintly in the background, but my eyes and head were heavy, and the dizziness was too much to withstand, and then there was only darkness.
