A new begining for Mira and Zios

'''Note: The first chapter is a discontinued story by Mysteriouskey on DA. She is deleting the first chapter, and gave it to me. I give her credit for the first chapter and idea. I am continuing it, so enjoy!'''

Summary: After Zios and Mira were trapped in portals created by The Phantoms, they found the remnants of the first generation phantom's former home-a planet blown up to pieces and drifting in space. They found themselves floating in space-until they were found by two former phantom gods. While befriending the two former Phantom gods, they learned more about the origins of the Phantoms and what has happened to their original home. Zios and Mira's decision on wanting to return home will be judged as the two former gods gave them a new perspective.

"Zios! Wake up!" Mira shouted, shaking the creature as an attempt to wake him up. Zios slowly opened his tangerine eyes and saw Mira staring at him.

"M-Mira?" Zios got up and his eyes widened. He found himself and Mira sitting on a large chunk of floating ground. That large floating chunk of ground-among with many others are seemingly drifting off in space. Zios got up without a clue where they are. "Where are we?"

"I do not know, Zios! This location is unfamiliar!" Mira was correct with the explanation. Chunks of ground wasn't the only items floating in space. In fact, there are even remains of buildings, homes, landmarks-anything built by The Phantoms or what used to be part of their civilization are floating in space too, waiting to be forgotten. Floral life joined the floating ruins as they were covered in ice with no signs of life. Everything else of the blown-up planet remained in space, which would soon only be a fragment of memory. "I do not understand. Why did The Phantoms chose to target Jamaa? What was their purpose or reason for wanting to tear Jamaa to pieces!? What have we or Jamma ever done to them!?"

"I do not understand either, in which I do not know the answer." Zios said. "I am not sure if they have been born evil or if there is a reason behind their wrongdoings. However Mira, look around you!"

"Why?" Mira asked, looking around their surroundings. "I believe we are on a planet that is now destroyed."

"The reason is there is no other life here but us!" Zios exclaimed, shaking nervously. "I believe we should be more concerned on where we are at now. What would happen to us next?"

"I-I do not know Zios. I am unsure of our fate." Mira said, dropping her head with lost hope. "We left our beloved creation behind. We left Jamaa behind. We left so many innocent animals behind. We even left our family behind. Now, those vulnerable lives are going to be left perishable to those malevolent Phantoms! Now they have lost two people they looked up to and believe in! We were like their parents! I do not even know if they would ever see us again!" Mira expressed more signs of grief by covering her face with her aqua wings.

"Do not express too much concern to Jammers back in Jamaa." Zios said with reassurance. "It is not our fault for this situation to occur. We made them know they all come in a variety of shapes and sizes. We made them know how to be strong and courageous living beings. We made them had pride and bravery in themselves. Also, the alphas will be there to protect and support them to have triumph over those malevolent phantoms!" Zios now expressed confidence with belief. "Mira, you and I should believe in them. What we have done for Jamaa will be rewarding soon enough. We should not worry for them excessively. What we should worry about now is what would happen to us next. Whatever shall happen to us is a mystery. Who knows? We may even reunite with our Jammers someday." Zios looked around with curiosity calling to him. "We cannot lose hope yet. While fate would soon give us an answer, we may as well pass time by exploring this planet." Zios leapt from the current chunk of ground to an another. He saw a piece of an unknown landmark and proceeded to grab the large chunk of wall. "There appears to be some sort of ancient writing here."

"Hmmm?" Mira looked up and saw Zios on the other side. Flapping her wings, she flew over to Zios and examined the ancient writing. "You are correct as I could not understand it at all. What do you think it could mean?"

"I do not know as I do not understand it either." Zios said. He looked up and saw more fragments of a destroyed palace. "I think this belongs to that area right there." He pointed to the destroyed palace. "We may as well try to figure it out." The got up from the ground and float themselves to the remains of the palace. They land themselves on a large part of the floor. There, they saw a wall painting that stood before them nine feet high.

"Who are those two creatures?" Mira asked, pointing to the two unfamiliar creatures. The two creatures are positioned in a yin-yang position. The creature on the left had butterfly-like wings on her back while the creature on the right also have butterfly-like wing on his back. "They both appear similar to the Phantoms!" Mira also looked down to inspect an another ancient writing underneath the wall painting. "Zios, look around you."

"What is your reason? All we see is just a planet that will no longer exist." Zios exclaimed, pointing to the ruins of The Phantom's old home.

"Yes, we both are on a planet that will no longer exist, but, we are also on a planet that had once existed among life." Mira said. "Look at this painting again Zios. Who do you think could create this?"

"Phantoms?" Zios asked with uncertainty.

"Exactly." Mira said.

"Mira, what are you trying to explain to me?" Zios asked, getting confused.

"The point I am getting across is that The Phantoms could be entirely different creatures long ago! I mean, I have never seen this style of a painting before! They also could've lived here once!"

"Mira, you may be right." Zios agreed. "If you also look closely, those Phantoms in the background are colored in white." Mira looked at the Phantoms in the background closely. "They also seemed to be truly happy and innocent." As Zios peered around again once more, he saw two unfamiliar figures approaching them.

"Mira! Who are they!?" Zios exclaimed, pointing to the two unknown figures heading toward their direction. As Zios looked closely, the two unknown figures appear to have six legs, similar to The Phantoms'. Mira turned around, now also seeing the two unfamiliar figures.

"Zios, I am not sure." Mira's eyes widened, but has chosen to stay calm. "However Zios, let's remain calm. We cannot panic yet since we do not know who they really are. Besides, they might help us." Now that the two unfamiliar figures reveal their true forms, the two former guardian spirits of Jamaa stared at the strangers with shock. On Zios' left, one creature looked extremely similar to one in the wall painting. The creature displayed more than butterfly-like wings. Not only the wings appear similar to an Earth daytime sky, the creature's skin is also yellow like the Sun. The creature to Mira's right appears extremely similar to the other creature in the wall painting. This time, his wings allude to the nighttime sky. His skin is light grey like the Moon. The four powerful beings stood in silence and shock until the yellow creature spoke up.

"Eikku hou'en. Qin isoouri ex-orig suxcew biz dil kiqqi sig?" The Yellow Creature asked, giving a formal, yet stern tone.

"Kujyt serri kumo cisera yub dicoj epil xixxko pommoni." The other creature spoke up.

"Zios, what are they saying?" Mira whispered in Zios' ear, giving an uneasiness in her tone. "I do not understand their language, but the one on the left sounded like she does not like us."

"Mira, let me handle this." Zios said, getting some courage. "You both. We not understand. We don't speak your tongue."

"Omdelia, yreifut rfiojrfv ofvsjo xic zuni!" The other creature said, pointing to Zios and Mira with his upper left tentacle. "Perhaps we should use a universal translator spell?"

"Wilk eroiufh fuddi, Irokune." Omdelia said, performing a universal translator spell. She chanted words of ancient language and applied the same spell to Irokune. "Forgive us strangers. We cannot understand your language earlier." As soon as Mira heard the two creatures speaking in universal language, she turned around in surprise.

"I-It is alright!" Mira said, giving reassurance to the two. "Wait a minute. How are you two now able to efficiently communicate with us?"

"We used a universal translator spell." Omdelia said. "The spell is used among us gods and goddesses to understand and communicate in any foreign language. We are surprised it even works with languages not native to Abrigo!"

"Abrigo?" Zios asked

"Yes, you are surrounded in what used to be Abrigo." Omdelia said, having her two antennas dropped. "Our former home."

"Former home?" Mira asked.

"I do not think it is the best environment to answer your questions." Omdelia said. "I know a place where we could have a new home."

"New home?" Zios asked.

"Yes, a new home for us to stay in. There is a portal creator in Euniso's study. Follow me, I know where the portal is to that world." Omdelia started to chant a spell that made all four of them appear in what used to be Euniso's study. Irokune looked around and quickly found a portal creator. He grabbed it from an almost-empty shelf and held it with his two middle tentacles.

"Where are we?" Mira asked, looking around the drifting room that is no longer part of a building. Books, old and new are floating in space among with ancient artifacts.

"This used to be a study for Euniso, the god of knowledge. He had a portal creator as one of his artifacts,"

"I found it!" Irokune said, revealing the white large hoop. "It has been with me for not too long."

"Excellent, let's activate it!" Omdelia said, preparing for a spell to activate it.

"Wait a minute here!" Mira said, stopping Omdelia. "We just met you both! We do not even know your names! How are we absolutely sure we can trust both of you?" Silence stood between them again, but this time, Irokune spoke up.

"I am very sorry for not introducing ourselves earlier! My name is Irokune, god of the Moon." He pointed to the Yellow Creature. "Her name is Omdelia, goddess of the Sun."
