Gamorphia (Harmony)

“Tunoria is somewhere in that mountains.” Robert said.
Luc nodded. They slowly continued their walk. Jessy is pretty slow but Luc can’t say anything to her since she is five months pregnant.
Before long they entered inside the mountains. It’s very cold here and wind often blew towards them. They climbed snowy hills and passed a tree land.
“Do you know this place?” Luc asked Robert.
“I had visited the village Wolforia a dozen times. It’s somewhere around here.” Robert said.
Luc nodded. They climbed one more hill and below they saw a village. A silence hovered over the village.
“That’s Wolforia.” Robert said. “That means we are near Tunoria.”
Luc looked at his compass. They are in fact near. They slowly climbed down the hill and before long they reached inside the village. The village is dead silent and there are nobody here. So aliens must have went through here.
In the horizon sun slowly began to set.
“Let’s ride out the night in that house.” Luc said pointing at a double story house.
Jessy and Robert nodded.
Before long they entered inside the small house. They found a room having two beds. They all lie down on the bed and sleep quickly took over them.

Chapter 27
Wolforia, Gamorphia
Luc woke up hearing the swoosh of a flying saucer. He quickly stood up and went near the window and outside he saw a flying saucer hovering over a house. Panic and worry grew inside Luc. Robert and Jessy also woke up and they came near Luc, and they too saw the flying saucer.
“Do they know we are here?” Jessy asked.
“I don’t know.” Luc said.
A moment later the flying saucer flew away into the distant sky. Luc and team took a deep sigh of relief.
“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Luc said.
Robert and Jessy nodded.
Luc quickly took his belongings and they all marched outside. On the way they drank some cold water from a well. Then they continued their journey. Luc often checked his compass for directions.
A few moments later they exited a tree land and climbed down a hill. Below the hill they are mesmerised by the view in front of them. Before them lay dozens of tents.
“What’s the story of these tents?” Luc asked.
“I don’t know. I had never heard about them.” Robert said.
Sadly all the tents were abandoned long ago. They passed the tents and they climbed a hill and they entered into a small tree land. All trees are filled with snow and tree branches occasionally heaved and snapped due to the weight of the snow. Before long they exited the tree land and they saw a big tower in front of them.
Suddenly a sharp howl came from their back. Luc quickly took a glance at his rear and he got shocked. A bunch of whitish wolves are gaining on them.
“Wolves. Run.” Luc said.
Robert grabbed Jessy’s hand and they both ran. Luc closely followed them. Before long they entered inside the tower’s perimeter and the wolves got near. They rushed inside the tower through the door less doorway. Wolves stopped chasing them and they stood outside the tower and sharply howled.
Luc and team panted heavily and they stared at the impatient wolves. A moment later the wolves made an ear breaking howl and retreated to whence they came. Luc took a deep sigh and looked at the inside of the tower closely. Suddenly a screech came from the top level of the tower. Luc and Robert exchanged a serious worry look. They both armed their bows and braced for whatever that is hiding inside the tower.

Chapter 28
The Unknown Tower, Gamorphia
Suddenly two aliens rushed at Luc and team from the staircase in the corner. Luc and Robert didn’t thought twice. They released the already hauled arrows. Arrows made their mark and both the aliens dropped dead. Suddenly screeches came from outside the tower.
Luc and team quickly ran through the tower and before long they started climbing the stairs. In each level there are door less rooms and they are running through the corridor in front of the rooms. Each corridor is connected by a long staircase. Finally they reached the top level of the tower which have only one room. Luc peered outside through the wide door less window and got shocked. Aliens had surrounded the tower and they are approaching the tower.
All the aliens are in human form and Luc and team are pretty sure what they will do to them if they found them.
“What should we do?” Jessy asked.
Luc is speechless. For the first time in a long time he don’t know what to do. There is no escape from here. Luc looked at his compass and he is surprised to find that the current location is 50, 50, 99. They got here passing all those danger. All for nothing. Is this how he would die? Luc stared at the approaching aliens with disbelief.
“This is it. I am jumping from here.” Jessy said.
Jessy’s word brought back Luc from his thoughts.
This is it! This is how it ends!

Chapter 29
The Unknown Tower, Gamorphia
“I don’t want to die in their hands. Robert, I don’t want to die.” Jessy began to cry.
Robert wrapped his hands around Jessy and tears welled up in his eyes. There is no way they are escaping this time. This is it.
“Let’s die.” Robert finally said.
Luc don’t know what to say. This must be the end.

Chapter 30
The Unknown Tower, Gamorphia
Jessy first climbed the small window and from the window she looked down. Aliens are pouring from all direction.
“Will you stay with me?” Jessy asked Robert.
“Always.” Robert said.
Robert also climbed the wide window and they both sit on the window with their legs outside. They both held their hands each other. Robert tightened his grip on Jessy’s hands.
Tears uncontrollably fell from both of their eyes. Luc couldn’t cry. His eyes are all dry. He made them dry crying after he lost his wife. Now there is not a single drop of tear left in him.
Then it happened. Robert and Jessy jumped from the window. A moment later Luc heard a loud thud. Robert and Jessy are dead. Now it’s his turn.
Aliens screeched sharply from below.

Epilogue
The Unknown Tower, Gamorphia
Luc climbed the window and he looked down. Suddenly sound of footsteps came from outside the room. They are near. If he want to die he need to take the leap now or they will dry him. Luc thought about Susan.
Suddenly aliens got inside the room and Luc didn’t thought twice. He made the leap. He jumped from the window. Today snow is falling heavily and Luc met falling snow in mid-air. He widened his arms and closed his eyes. Air uncontrollably hit his eyes.
A moment later a little pain coursed through all over his body and that was it. His world went blank.
Aliens screeched at the fallen dead bodies. Blood sprayed everywhere on the white snow. Saliva uncontrollably arrived at the aliens’ mouth. Today, just moments ago, they lost their precious blood bags.
Blood, how precious it is.
