I stopped being picky and chose a spot.

"My world is a little bit different from yours. The planet I came from is called Earth. We don't have superpowers, mutated plants and other similar things. We were going through the apocalypse. Our world was breaking down and the humans on her has to scurry around to find ways of survival. I don't know if Earth's destruction is from overconsumption of her resources or something else. All I know is that we were shoved into the end of the world era." I explained. Killian listened attentively and his sweet action seemed to unlock some kind of mental dam. The words flowed out easily.

"I have parents but I don't really remember how they look anymore. The only person that is dearest and closest to my heart is my brother." After the last word dropped from my lips, I fell into silence.

Killian picked up on my gloomy mood. The thumb stroking my cheek slowed down. He turned my head to look at him directly.

"Edna, what happened to your brother?" He asked.

I savored my silence for a while before my lips parted again.

"My brother is dead." I deadpanned.

Killian's eyes narrowed, "Tell me what happened."

I sighed, "The government gave each family two quotas. These quotas is to be used as a boarding pass for the spaceship that would house the remnants of humanity. My brother's girlfriend, Penelope wanted my brother to ditch me and take her instead. When it didn't work, she stabbed my brother, Tyler. He bled out to death. The speed of the Earth being destroyed was too fast so nobody really helped. Before I got to the security in charge of the people boarding the spaceship, Tyler took his last breath. Tyler had to be left behind on Earth. I didn't even have the chance to bury him. I boarded the spaceship without my closest family."

"Where is Penelope? Did she come with you to Blue Star?" Killian asked with mild fury coating his tone.

"She's not part of the exploration team and she didn't show her face to me when I was on the spaceship either. I don't know if I would have been able to control myself when I see her. She didn't parade herself in front of me. Thankfully, she respected herself." I continued.

"What happened next?" Killian questioned.

I sighed, "Nothing much. I was selected to be on the exploration team. We used a smaller spaceship to get to Blue Star. After our little spaceship landed on this planet, a group of aliens trapped us and basically enslaved us." Killian raise the brow, "Aliens? That's what you call us? You guys are basically the aliens on our planet."

His words made a boisterous laugh bubble within me. I had to let it out. My laughter echoed in the court hall. My worries, fears and heart calmed down when I laughed.

I looked at Killian with more gratitude.

The 'thank you' was at the tip of my tongue but I caught myself at the last second. He would not be pleased if I tell him thank you again.

I noted his actions on the tablets of my heart. Killian brightened up my day.

"Well," I smiled. "We humans, calls any intelligent humanoid lifeform other than us aliens. You guys are aliens, you can't change my mind."

"I don't plan to. Continue your words from where you stopped." Killian said.

"Okay." I replied, "We tried to escape our slavers once but one of the women in our ranks betrayed us. The reason she betrayed us was because she thought we were about to leave her behind. Then, the inn we booked had an issue. A mutated plant tried to seize my body like Maol had introduced to you and the court earlier."

I rolled my eyes when I mentioned Maol.

I continued, "I defeated the mutant plant's consciousness and inherited part of its powers. You know the rest of the story. My slavers gave me to Maol and he tried to give me to you as tribute. He sold the rest of my companions though." Suddenly, Killian's hand dropped for my jaw. His two arms wrapped around me tightly.

The hug touched something in me. My nose started to sting and my eyes watered. I don't even know why my body was reacting this way. I was just going to savor everything I was feeling while I can.

My arms wrapped around his torso too.

"Edna, I just want you to know something. Between the heavens and the earth, I am with you. I would always be behind you. Do whatever you want. Anyone that goes against you will be trampled beneath your feet. I promise you that. I might not have the power to cover the sky with one hand but I'll try my best to make all your wishes come true to the best of my abilities." Killian promised.

The court was silent except for his words and our breathing. The silent breeze flowing around in the court was the finishing touch. It felt like Killian was speaking with authority.

"I know you said I shouldn't thank you but I can't help myself. Thank you, Killian. I don't know what attracted you to me. I don't know what I can give you to equalize everything you have done for me. I don't have much." Something choked me as I spoke.

"Edna, look at me. I don't need you to equalize. You are the soulmate God provided for me. You are the one that completes me. Without you, I'm just better than the dust under our feet by a little bit. Don't belittle yourself. If you do so, you are belittling me too." Killian said slowly and clearly.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind." I replied, "What about you? Are you not going to tell me about your story too?"

Killian loosened his arms so he would have enough space to look at my face.

He chuckled, "My story is nothing to be concerned about."

I shook my head, "No. Since it's you, I have to be concerned. Your story is my business."

"Okay, if you say so. You are going to be extremely busy tomorrow anyway. I have to utilize this time to tell you all you want to know." Killian agreed.

"What's happening tomorrow?" I asked curiously.

Killian dropped a bomb, "We are getting married."

My mouth dropped open.

What?!

People have been dropping news that were like bombshells on me lately.
