I stand firmly with my feet to the ground.
Arms extended at chest height.
Palms to the wall.
I slow my breathing and calm my mind until i can feel the atoms vibrating inside the wall reverberating in my fingertips.
I count down from ten with every breathe painting myself a clearer picture of what it is i want to do.
Shatter the wall with one push…
I’m feeling burnt.
Ive been going at this since 10 pm last night and now the suns coming up.
Running around the city to all the abandoned Buildings i know. Only managing to shake a few walls and push a few others over. Yet to completely shatter on though…
‘Two years back i travelled to Nepal. While i was trekking the annapurna circuit i met and older lady in a tea shop. She told me she had no family and i was the first person that came to her store that felt familiar. So she wished to leave something to me.
At the time i didnt know the importance of this item.
But the lady told me to proctect this item. Carry it with me at all times.
She told me that at some point. If my heart and mind reached complete peace with myself something deep within me would come to light.
Now obviously i just took the item out of respect. And now i carry it with me because i simply like the style of it. It was a rare beautiful gemstone. One that i couldnt identify no matter how many google searches or people i asked about it.
So i just put it into a necklace, And wear it everyday as a memory of my trip to nepal.
Well yeah, I was out in town last night sitting at this waterfront park called Albuoys Point. Eating a rice and tofu bowl from Misaki. When the gemstone emmitted a blindingly bright green glow.
I just figured a boat that was pulling into the dock must’ve hit the stone the wrong way.
But next thing i knew i dropped to my knee in excrutiating pain .
I curled up into a ball on the grass. And broke out in an extreme sweat. Then the weirdest thing happened.
It looked like the glow from the rock started emitting again but this time it was going into my body.
I mustered up all i had to grip the stone and cover it with my hand but the light still radiated through my hand into my chest.
I passed out. I dont know for how long but when i came to everything felt better. the city around me was still and it must’ve been early in the morning.
I got up and leaned against a tree to catch my breathe a little bit. And the whole tree fell over. I lost my balance and roll in the grass.
Panicking about what happened i get up and go to my bike and push it off the stand .
Pumped up on adrenaline i mustve pushed it so hard the whole front forks of the bike bent inward and the front wheel went flying off.
Being that it was so early i knew my only option was to leave my bike there.Unsure of how to get home i went to lean against the wall and the wall fell over.
The first five minutes after waking up were the craziest.
In panick i went and sat on the edge of the dock for what mustve be an hour before i got up and moved.
I thought to myself
What if i have super strength .
Is this really how it starts.
So i spent the next couple of hours pushing at wall after wall until i got to this moment….
Palms to the wall.
I start to push.
“You know its easier if you enchant the stone”
I jumped back startled. I turn around and see what can only be described as a human sized lizard staring me directly into my eyes. Meeting my eye-line standing probably between 6’2” and 6’4” tall.
“I’ve been watching you since you got the stone. You’ve been the first one on this planet to ever awaken its power”
What are you!? I ask is simple excitement and fear that a lizard was standing tall and talking to me. What is actually going on here
“I’m an intelligent lifeform from a planet far away from this earth of yours. I’ve live a bit over 600 years and never thought i’d see the day the stone awakened on you’re planet”
What do you mean by the stone Awakening i just got this as a gift form a lady in nepal i really don’t even know how i got it to glow like that. I was just chilling at albuoys.
‘Dont worry young man. I’ll explain al in due time. But what you should know is that is seems you have been selected out of a long line of holders of this stone, to be the one that weilds its true power. And really we dont have much time now that your stone has awakened. The third and final stone is sure to follow. You should come with me. We need to get to the third stone now as the godlike threatens to awaken”.
What are you talking about?
‘Theres an old prophecy that says once the true holders of all the stones awaken their power, They must stand together to protect the universe.”
“And well my friend, it seems you’re the second piece of this complex puzzle i’ve devoted my life to solving”
“My species normally lives about 800 years are yours what about 70? We must nit have much time to accomplish our goal of stopping the godlike once it awakens. And truthfully, Ive already heard whisperers across the galaxies that the godlike has already started to stir in its slumber. The prophesized apocalypse bringer hasn’t moved since the dawn of time. And now it seems the time is near. If it awakeens and we are not prepared. Universal destruction will follow.”
I’m confused thiugh. If youve been watching all this time . All these people. Why me. Why wait to it was this late.?
‘The stones choose the true weilder. Ive been spending time travelling between heree and Pantheon, the planet where the other stone lies in wait.’
‘Come with me and i can take you to Pantheon and the third stone and we can begin our preparations. We can be there and back in 10 days.”
“But i have a job. A life. I cant just up and leave. I dont even know you! How can i trust anything you’re saying is true?
‘This is bigger than us. Sorry i forgot to introduce myself. I am, in your language, called One of good fortune.”
“how about i call you Lukcy for short? Hiw can i understand you though?”
‘The technology on my planet is amazing. I have an intergalactic translator with millions of language translations built into my earpiece.”
But over time watching this planet for so long ive learned many of your earths languges as i watched the stone pass from holder to holder. Waiting for this day that it awakened. All the different backgrounds and cultures i learned of has been a blessing to see though, watching your world progress through time has been quite sad. The destruction you brought each other has been sickening.”
Who are you to judge. Sounds like you have the technology to help and just sat and let all this happen anyway”
“Its no my places to interfere with natural proceedings of this world”.
man I just don’t know whats going on. this does sound like the adventure of a lifetime if what tour saying is true though. I can save the universe. and i do love to travel. Another planet would be craZy. Am i going crazy right now it has been a long night. obviously you’re not of this planet but can you show me proof. let me see your stone and your ability.
Lucky flicks out his tongue, it pretty much reaches the ground, and out rolls a stone. Lucky bends do to pickup the stone and presses it to his lips. He starts to whispher, ” Grant me the guidance of all the cosmos, and guide me along the righteous paththe stone truly knows.”
The stone’s core bursts out with a radiant blue glow and lucky disappears.
“You can’t see me can’t you?”
‘Not at all. Where are you right now?’
“Right in front of you. But i’ve altered your mind to make it look like I’m not here”. Lucky reappears.
“You Can hear me right?” i can Hear lucky clear as day but he’s not moving.
‘Telepathy, then?‘ I ask amused. ‘You know what, you can teach me how to draw out this power of mines?”
‘I believe so, though all my knowledge of the stones come from my own experience with them. And the folk lore I’ve come to hear along my travels.”
“So the universe being in danger could all just be some fairy tale?”
“I’m afraid so, but i really believe we should be prepared. especially if we’re the only hope.’
‘Damn Lucky, you’re really banking alot of your life on these stories of yours huh.?’
‘I guess intergalactic travel couldn’t be so bad though huh?’ ‘ man this is alot for one night can i at least sleep on it. see my friends one last time?/’ i ask torn betweenthe call of adventure and the safety of my monotonous everyday routine.
“You know what, take the day to decide. I know this is alot to process. and from what i could see you had a long night. rest up. i’ll meet you outside your house when the sun sets. if you want to come i’ll be leaving for Pantheon to watch over the third stone. if not I’ll be gone come the new day and i wish you luck with your power and stone.”
lucky turns to walk away from and a laser strikes his shoulder from out of nowehre.
“LUCKY”. i take cover behind a nearby dumpster and look to see lucky crawling on the ground shiver in fear of losing his life.
Dammit! ithink to myself i have to try to save him.
i lift up the dumpster to try and throw it to cover luckys body form another strike when i feel a hand on my back and Lucky had already appear behind me.
” lucky i thought you got hit.”
” that’s what i wanted everyonme tothink because i sensed the danger coming. whoever just shot that beam really thinks they hit me. they still think im cowering on the ground there lets stay here and lets see what happens.”
” i think we got him.” this troll looking being says to the second one lagging behind.
“boss i think we finally took out one of the stone weilders.” and to see two stone activated on the same planet on the same day. it must be our luckybreak.” KASMAS is going to pay us the big bucks if we can bring him both stones. lets go take the body’. three more of threes creature appear out from behind a nearby building and drag Luckys fake body into a small alien aircraft tha tjust landed in behind them. this ciruclar disc shaped craft looks barely big enough to fit the five trolls and lukcy but they drag the body of lucky into the ship with them. “we’ll wait and see if the other stone activates again and we’ll take that stone too so be ready” the first troll says to the other ones. they all enter the aircraft and it starts to hover off into the sky. and it disappears as i assumethey probably have some kind of cloaking system to restrict tracking of their movements.
“Lucky what thehell is happening?‘ I whsihper afraid of being overheadby anyone.
“YOOOO did anyone just see that flipping spaceshipp fly offf yooo” i hear someone scream from the edge of the block.
Lucky places his hand on the back of my head. And I instantly know what happened. no explanation needed. since two of the stones had been activated we were now in grave danger of attracting dangerous attention. many people would now be looking for me and my stone for many different reasons and lucky believes we’d be safer together. we must go to the holder of the third stone now before anyone realizes its loaction. and we must leave the planet now because in a few minutes lucky’s illusions on the trolls would wear off and they’d realized they didnt actually have his body and the stone in their possesion.
Yah
