Chapter 7 the Healer’s Diamond

  In front of us were three boys. One was dressed in a black cowboy hat, a red dress shirt and he had a pasty face and diamond blue eyes with messy blonde hair. The next one was dressed in a blue jumpsuit with the same face and eyes as me. In fact, they all had the same features as me expect their clothes were different. The third one was dressed in a black suit and a multi-colored tie. Plus, each of them had the same pendant as me hanging down from their necks.

  Pedro stood in front of us too.

  “Skyrid, these are your quadruplet Brothers.” Pedro said. “The one in the blue jumpsuit is Mitchell. The boy in cowboy clothes is Michael, and one dressed in nice clothes is Thomas.”

  I ran to them. We all hugged. Pedro looked at me.

  “Come with me and I’ll show all of you to your room for the night.” he said.

  Pedro led us to a room with the symbol for Qysterio on the door. He opened the door and we all walked inside as Kodyack and Pedro left us by ourselves. I looked at Mitchell. “What made you get caught by the Strikers?”

  “I was born into it. When I was separated from my birth mother, I was taken by the strikers. They knew the prophecy of the Healer’s diamond. That just one part alone could cure any disease brought on by battle but together, the parts could heal physical or mental disease. Even death could be defeated by the Healer’s diamond. They released me so I could be raised by the Master Striker, Furliceo Woolsley.” Mitchell said.

  “I understand. But, what made you get taken from him?”

  “They discovered that I was a Cithian.”

  “How?”

  “I was ten years old when it happened. The strikers had come to my house to search for Furliceo because of his betrayal against them. At first, the Strikers’ mission was to kill all Cithians. But then, Furliceo showed them how kind they could be without their powers. Now, their mission was to take every Cithians’ powers and rehabilitate them back into society.

  But, they got tired of not killing the Cithians. So tired that they wanted to take Furliceo and kill him. But that’s when my malfunction happened.” Mitchell said.” "Orbs of light shot out of my hands and hit the Strikers; killing them. Then, the backup came.

  They cuffed me and dragged me into an indigo beam.”

  “Orbs? Cool!”

  “Thanks.”

  “And, what exactly does the Healer’s diamond look like?”

  “It’s basically a diamond made up of five upside down triangles.” Mitchell said. “Four for the outside and one for the center. “

  “I wonder if our pendants are the parts of the Healer’s diamond.” I said.

  “You mean, the Helios, right?” Michael said.

  “Yes.” I said.

  We all held out our pendants. A purple line shot out of each of them and connected in the shape of a diamond. A diamond emerged out of them. It was light purple and was missing a piece. The centerpiece was gone. We all put our pendants down.

  The diamond disappeared. The light flickered on and off as it stormed outside. Raindrops hit against the window. Thunder raged and lightning appeared. The lights went out. The darkness surrounded us.

  The Emergency lights came on outside our room. We all stepped outside our room. Students crowded the halls. Pedro stood in the center.

  “Don’t panic! It’s just a little bit of darkness. So, all of you go back to bed!” he said.

  The students went back to bed and so did we.
