The Death of Valhelmoin - I to III
Chapter 1
Vaza, a stormy night.
Cammarin was at her bedside, impacted severely with the news that quickly rolled about. She would have had a composed demeanor, but the events that transpired brought out the worst of her so much she accidentally hit a server on the cheek.
​
Moeverell's crazy side manifested more often. She had her husband take care of their kids more than usual while she 'processed' everything, sometimes in a destruction spree when thoughts went out of control. There were even days when she, the head of state, served jail time.
​
Lellie quit her delivery girl day job immediately once the news unfolded. Instead, to give her quick reprieve from that memory, she whored herself out, taking pills to increase fecundity and fertility as she slept with man after man each night, and paid heftily for it.
​
Laminu couldn't eat or drink at all. She had someone, a fellow firefly, to talk to about things only they know. All of that was taken from her in a literal jiffy. She was not one to cry, but today rainbow rivers streamed from her eyes for days.
​
There was a single coincidence in time, when the stars don't shine in their respective planets, when the four of them emitted a bloodcurdling scream of a single word. "Why?" But as for everyone else, they felt the weight of the event, but they chose to stay vigilant, wondering what Haveni would do next.
Chapter 2
Val fluttered towards the reception, her hearts pounding as the hall opened. Fortunately, she was the only one around for the day, which made the Transcendence agents' day easy and lazy, more so the former than the latter. An agent came up to her.
​
"Name?"
"Valhelmoin Kidlat V," the cyan haired girl answered.
The angel was unfazed.
"Your name?"
"Valhelmoin Kidlat V."
The angel typed the name again. "None in the database," she replied.
"What do you mean? I'm Valhelmoin Kidlat V, Spokesperson slash Queen of Planet Haveni!" Val retorted. She could have had shocks coursing through her body to fry this agent but in here, all powers are neutralized. She inhaled and exhaled, then asked again, "Are you sure?"
The angel agent did some search once more. "Nix in the database."
​
"Then how many Valhelmoin Kidlat's are there?" Val asked, her voice higher. The angel replied, "4." That shattered Val's heart. Was she an anomaly? Someone who actually did not exist? She tried to remember but the memories were gone, somewhere locked up in her deep long term memory.
"If you want, I can take a picture of you," the angel replied, facing a camera to Val. Once the picture was taken, the angel let the computer run. It beeped a few seconds later.
"Oh, it's tied to a.... Volta Madagitab."
Val's eyes widened.
Chapter 3
A transcript of a recording:
"Your Highness, Cammarin Lynnidere?"
"Yes, Intergalactic Councilwoman Terenfods Szchkeeel."
"First of all, I am sorry for your loss. Our loss. Valhelmoin was an asset to you and to all of us, and a bubbly one too."
​
"..... No worries. I trust that others have been checking her mansion for any pieces of evidence. Including her camera feeds?"
"Yes. Her camera feeds and her droid servants were most helpful. (Silence) Sibling rivalry can get heated like this."
"Niktolinne?! I trust my cousin would not hurt Valhelmoin so greatly as to kill her! Who else would do that?"
"Are you aware that Val isn't her real name?"
"What do you mean?"
"I have records. But before I show it to you, I'd ask if you had read what Earth humans call 'The Holly Bibble'."
