Across the border – Book I - 10 Chapter

“I can help you”, a small voice said from the other corner.

Everyone turned around and looked at the voice. The young ‘Yunacel’ crawled near them. ‘Yunacel’ are known for their beauty but the one which is crawling before them made them move even further away.

Noticing their hesitation, she stopped crawling and looked between her fallen hair. She was confused about whether she needs to go ahead or stay where she is?

Her shabby clothes and her hidden face made Elly screech and she went behind Robert to hide.

Peter walked towards the ‘Yunacel’ and asked, “Are you sure you can help my friends get better?”

“My name is Nina. I am the daughter of Nigin and Gina. I swear on my dead parents, I can cure them a hundred percent”, Nina said in a serious tone and she stood up.

Nina did not even reach Peter’s shoulder level but the way she spoke made the atmosphere light.

All of them laughed and Elly came out from her hiding place. She extended her hand to hold Nina’s arm and pulled her towards Robert.

Nina took a small magical horn out from her pocket and blew it. In seconds several hundreds of miniature figurines marched from the small window and stood in straight lines.

Nina made different horn sounds and they nodded and marched towards Robert. But before they could reach him, they were all pushed backward by some unknown force.

“Your friend is hiding something in his pocket. Ask him to take it out” Nina said looking at Peter.

Robert pulled both his pockets out but nothing came out.

“Not you but the other one,” Nina said.

Robert with great difficulty slightly moved Nameless from this shoulder and pulled the pouch out.

“You! Who is standing tall like a tree? come and pick it up”, Nina pointed at Peter; ordering him like a queen.

“I am not YOU! My name is Peter and I don’t like people ordering me”, Peter said coldly but still picked up the pouch.

Nameless struggled to get the pouch back from Peter’s hand but he couldn’t even lift his hand.

“Do not stress yourself. My Minia’s will try to put them together, so I want everyone to stay far away.” saying that Nina took the horn and blew a few more different tunes.

As per Nina’s command, the Minia’s made Robert and Nameless sleep next to each other and started drawing circles around them.

Nina said a few words in some language which Peter did not understand and had a blank face.

Robert and Nameless lifted high in the air and started rotating around themself and at one point, no one could see them other than strong wind around that area.

Peter wanted to move forward but Elly held his hand tightly and stopped him. When he looked at Peter, she shook her head and pulled him down into a kneeling position. Peter looked confused and wanted to ask what’s wrong?

But Elly put her fingers on her lips and Shushed him. Peter rolled his eyes as he could not understand what was going on around him anymore. He missed Robert who would know everything and would tell him anything.

Once the spinning stopped above their head, Robert came down and Nina made the Minia’s to make a ‘Cowa tree’ leaf bed and made him lie down on it. She then started knitting the leaves around him and completely covered him in it.

Once Elly noticed that the process was over, she pulled Peter and went near Nina and held her head down and greeted her.

“Princess Nina, Ruler of the ‘Asher’; we welcome you to our planet ‘Ether’”, Elly sat down and crossed her arms on her chest and welcomed her in Ether’s old fashioned way.

Peter looked at sandwiched Robert and then at her phobic sister acting all brave before an unknown person and even calling her princess and doing the traditional greeting. Everything seems foreign to him and he just badly missed Robert’s loudmouth.

“What did you do with Robert? Let him out” Peter shouted.

Elly hit Peter’s leg behind the knee to make him kneel down in front of the princess but it instead made Peter lose his stance and fall forward. While falling Peter tried to hold the object near him to minimize the falling effect.

But what no one expected was that Nina’s dress tore and her pink animated innerwear came to everyone’s sight. Still, Peter hit the floor hard and knocked badly on his face, especially his nose became dark pink and even blood oozed out.

Elly watched with wide-mouthed in horror. Even Minias’ could not stop laughing and closed their mouths with four hands to stop making loud noises so as to avoid angering their angel, Nina.

Elly could not decide whether she needed to console his brother or Nina. She looked back and forth at their faces but unable to decide whom she should go to first.

Nina took the horn and blew angrily. Minias started marching towards Peter and started removing his pants. Peter tried to hold his nose on one hand and pulled his pants up in another.

But Minias overpowered Peter and pulled his pants out and took it to Nina. Nina pulled the pants above the torn dress and buttoned it. But how much ever she tried to keep it up, it slid down due to the difference in size. She took the torn part of the dress and tied it around her waist.

She went and sat in the corner gloomily. Peter searched in his bag and wore a pant. He then wiped his face with a medicinal herb which immediately healed his injuries.

He took Elly’s dress from the bag, he brought and walked towards Nina. He then placed the dress near her with some dragon fruits.
