Chapter 26 time to move
We appeared in front of our home. Two moving trucks from Madrid's moving company were parked in the front. Movers had already packed everything but the furniture. My dad and I got into the first moving truck. Crystal took the mustang along with my three brothers.
My mom got in the second moving truck. We follow the dirt road as police followed behind us. On the way, we passed Siraka and saw it in all its rubble. We could hear the cries of thousands of innocent people. We could see it all in our minds.
The Strikers were trying to mislead everyone by destroying my hometown along with two Cithians; Drayer and Furliceo. They wanted everyone to believe that Cithians are bad news and must be destroyed. But, they are just misunderstood people. Some of them have malfunctions that possess them; making them do evil things like destroying hometowns. Others are killed by their own powers or kill people during their malfunctions.
This event changed my whole perspective to think that: Cithians are just everyday people but with powers and I know that now I used to hate the Cithians because I didn’t understand them. But now, I sympathize with them.
“They’re right about everything, Dad. There shouldn’t be any ranks. People should be able to live without being criticized of who they are whether they have powers or not.”
“You know, you’re right. People shouldn’t have to live with that stuff.”
“Exactly. Maybe Michael will change all of that.”

When we got to Jay City, we parked outside the red mansion. We all got out and stood behind Michael as he stood on the podium. A Striker came forward and placed the Secret book of Aliens (The Alien Bible) on the podium. Michael put his left hand on the book and raised his right hand to the sky.
“I swear to uphold the duties of a president. I swear to protect the constitution. I swear to treat every person as they act.” Michael said. The Striker took away the book. Michael looked towards the crowd.
“Today, all the ranks will be abolished and the Cithians will live in peace in with all of us.”
The crowd booed.
“Sure they destroyed our homes; but consider this: Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment. Imagine you had power that was beyond your control. The Cithians that destroyed your homes were possessed.
I have told you since the day I began my campaign that I was a Cithian. I don’t know what you were thinking when you voted me in, but maybe you thought I was different. I assure you’re all right. I want peace between the ranks more than anything.
I want everyone to be treated as who they are and what they do with their lives. We shouldn’t have to be judged just because we’re different. No two humans are alike. We all think and breathe differently.” he said.
The crowd cheered as we all walked into the red mansion. I walked up to Michael.
“You handle criticism well, Mike.”
“I know. But, I fear one day that Nancy will be revived.”
“How?”
“Witchcraft, maybe. But, more than likely they’ll use the revival necklace.”
“What’s that?”
“It’s a pendant that can bring people back from the dead.”
“How’s it supposed to be activated?”
“By the healer’s diamond.”
“Then we must destroy it.”
Michael laid the parts on the table in the dining room. They all turned into the healer’s diamond.
“Adagar told me another way to destroy It.” he said.
“How exactly?” I said.
“It was created by a Sayis and his representative. So, it can be destroyed the same way.”
Adagar came into the room. His dreads hung loosely down by his ears. He had a trimmed beard that you could only see if you looked at him really closely. His bright green eyes twinkled like the stars. A red cloak dragged on the ground from all around him as he walked up to me.
“Kawthar!” He said as he lifted the parts into the air. I shot a beam of green light at them. They all disappeared.
