LOST IN TIME

The Beginning

THE BEGINNING

Immortals, vampires, demons and angels were living harmoniously in a place known as the Dome. They lived peaceably and had a common goal: to protect humanity. They had a common leader, the strongest of them all who goes by the name Of Zanta(presently known as Kim). Zanta was officially given this position on the Day of Celebration as it was traditionally called. The supreme being gave him this position knowing fully well what awaits Zanta. The celebration began and songs and music were played, and all enjoyed the party. As all this was playing out,Some group of demons and vampires who initially had planned to make this day a living hell for Zanta,put their malicious plan into action. Their aim was to eliminate Zanta. But could they?. They started the uproar and made sure no one survived,ripping the hearts of many. Zanta cried out"O,Lord give me strength." After saying this he called all his loyal soldiers and commanded them to vacate the Doom. He reassured them that he will be alright. After much hesitation they left and came down to earth. Zanta on the other hand stayed back and fought voraciously. It was intense. But wait,where was the Supreme being when all this was playing out??

Zanta was now very tired. Perceiving an opportunity, Lexus their leader approached him and raised him by the neck choking him. Lexus having remembered that Zanta was an immortal knew that he could not die. So he thought of ways to make him mortal. Was Zanta in trouble?? Lexus came up with an idea and this idea was simple: Rip Zanta's heart." It is time ",one of Lexus minions called out. As Lexus was about to dip his sharp teeth into Zanta's chest,a mighty thunder struck him. It was Xanta,the god of thunder, Zanta's twin brother. " Helo brother"he said," sorry I came late" he said while throwing a bolt of lightning towards Lexus and his minions and they fell from glory to dust. "Bro why didn't you call me earlier" Xanta said,"this dude almost killed you ". "Kill me?,impossible bro. Nothing can kill me. Am invincible. But anyways bro,thank you for coming",Zanta said this and exited the Celebration hall.. Xanta? An ally or a foe??..

The vampires and their minions were expelled from the Dome never to return. Their names were listed among the Terrorist of the Realm. Peace flourished once more but evil still hovers on them all.

Time came for Zanta,the chosen heir to have a wife. "The day of Commemoration has come", the supreme being said. He continued" and according to the tradition of the Realm,he must not engage in s****l activity with her till after seven whole months had elapsed. It will strengthen him for the journey ahead, but be careful Zanta,your foes are nearby." Zanta chose a beautiful lady named Lovelin. Her beauty was out of this world. With blue eyes, long blond hair, red lips and fair complexioned. She was one of a kind. Zanta took her home and constantly reminded himself to overcome the temptation of having a taste Of her. He kept this oath and all went well. But till when??. One evening, as Zanta was returning from one of his meetings with the chambers,he saw a young lady being held by four men,and the men had lust in their eyes so Zanta knew that something must be done. He rushed to where the men were and without hesitation, gave them the beatings of their life. After all was done one of the men said "O Mighty one,why have you done this to us? This lady is our younger sister and we held her the way we did because she was pregnant, but you have suffered us by your punches. The Supreme being must surely know of this." Was Zanta scared? Of course not,he replied to the man"Man, you are nothing compared to me. I am Zanta,the god of speed so if you please, reveal what transpired here to the Supreme being or not,I don't give a fuck." He said and dashed out... The men were speechless. Today was an odd day for Zanta,he felt suddenly bored so he decided to take a leap to earth. He came down from the Dome and dived into the earth and landed supremely. "Wow", exclaimed Zanta. Zanta decided to stay at least a month on Earth before returning to the Dome. He visited Spain and as he was there,he made himself known to a couple of Ladies and befriended them to the extent of getting into their pants. Zanta was going rogue. He was losing himself.

One month became two month, two month became three, three became four,four became five, and five became six. THE WORLD WAS IN DANGER FOR EVERY ACTION OF THE CHOSEN ONE BROUGHT PEACE OR DOOM TO MANKIND.

The day finally came for Zanta to return back to the Dome,he was wasted. Gosh,he was pitiful. He sent hugs and kisses to all his numerous babes and sugar Mummies and eventually he left. As he was ascending to the Dome, he noticed that the peace gate was closed. This has never happened before. Something was definitely wrong but what was wrong? This was the question lingering in Zanta's mind. He approached his heavenly palace:now he was at the Dome. " Why is everywhere so quiet? Where is everyone?". Before he could finish what he was saying, someone hit him from behind on the head and he fainted...... DANGER! DANGER!! DANGER!!!!!

"Ah my head it hurt", Zanta said observing his surroundings. Lo and behold, he saw his twin brother Xanta,glaring wickedly at him. " Bro what's the meaning of all this, why am I here bound in these chains? You got to be kidding me bro?" Zanta said trying to break free from the chains. "Bro", replied Xanta" stop wasting your strength. You can't break lose from these chains. Today you shall meet your end.. You have broken our sacred covenant and have destroyed humanity by your lust so therefore you shall pay by your life." As Xanta concluded his death speech, a video clip was played and on it showed the earth IN RUINS. WOMEN AND MEN RUNNING TO AND FRO, BLOODSHED. Humans were at the mercy of vampires. "You see now brother", continued Xanta" this happened all because of your uncontrollable lust. Now you have brought this upon yourself. But it not for me to judge you, if the decision was up to me,I would have gladly Killed you,but we must hear what the Supreme being has to say". Xanta said this and receded. Meanwhile,Zanta was beside himself weeping and in deep regret.

"ALL STAND", a soldier cried" The Supreme being is Here with us". All stood and after the Supreme being took his seat,all sat. The court was now in judgement. The Supreme being stood up and in an horrifying tone said"AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AT YOU ZANTA,YOU FAILED THE REALM. YOU HAVE BEEN LEVELED WITH THE CHARGES OF DISOBEDIENCE, IMPURITY AND PRIDE. ZANTA LOURDES,I BANISH YOU FROM THE DOME,NEVER TO COME BACK. YOU SHALL ROAM THE EARTH,AND NEVER FIND PEACE UNTIL 26. YOU SHALL LOSE YOUR MEMORY AND SHALL NO LONGER POSSESS THE HOLY NAME ZANTA,YOUR NEW HUMANLY NAME SHALL BE KIM.. YOU ARE BANISHED!!! ". Xanta was excited about this whole scheme. He was glad his brother was gone for good. With immediate alacrity Zanta,now known as Kim was thrown out of the Dome into the Earth NEVER TO COME BACK..

Unknown to them that the word 26 meant a secret code. Xanta replaced his brother as second in command of the Dome. But was the Supreme being asleep??

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NOTHING REMAINS HIDDEN UNDER THE SUN. VULTURES!! VULTURES!!! VULTURES!!!!

WHO WILL SAVE US??.

* * * * * * * * * *

Life on earth was good. Those living on earth were friendly but little did they know that the earth was about to face an impending doom. They drank,laughed,went to clubs. Had casual s*x did all kind of ugly stuff and no one reprimanded them. And to think that the god of speed, now known as Kim was going to leave among these people??. . All these took place in a city in Europe known as France. A beautiful and magnificent city. And Kim was sent down to these people.. But was Kim safe?.

France was a lovely country to behold, and to think that Kim was thrown down to these magnificent city was displeasing. Kim was not sent down as an adult, but an infant. A handsome young baby. It happened one day that Mr Chatelizer and his wife Mrs. Carolina were passing through a thick forest,they heard the innocent cry of a baby. They were reluctant at first to see where the sound was coming from,but they still did it. They turned on their torch light, and slowly entered the thick forest. In there they found a baby boy,very handsome indeed. "Mon garçon", cried Mrs. Silvia(Mon garçon is a French word for my boy),she hurriedly grabbed the little lad.

" This is my baby,my baby,my baby",she kept singing as she carried the baby to and fro. Mr. Chatelizer just stood there mute. What could he be thinking? Mr. Chatelizer was not in support of his wife's decision, but he just went with the flow. Mrs. Carolina named the young lad"Kim",going out of her French tradition. The given name was a Korean name and it has a symbolic meaning. It symbolizes ROYALTY AND STRENGTH. ROYALTY INDEED,THE FUTURE IS INDEED FIXED.

Kim was loved by all,mature and young alike. He was almost kidnapped at one point in time, but it did not prevail. Something mysterious happened to the kidnapper which no one could explain up to this day. He was baptized at Notre Dame de Paris Catholic Church by Father Louis, a missionary priest. And was given the name Micheal as his baptismal name, the name of the archangel of protection. All these was a sign of THE RETURN OF GREATNESS.

Kim grew up and was now in grade seven. He was an outstanding student. A brain Child. This got him the nickname "Brain box". Night came too suddenly, and Kim had a dream. In this dream he saw a strange figure and this strange figure said to him" Bonjour Monsieur,the time is at hand". And Kim woke up drenched in sweat. And life continued.

Morning came rather too sudden, and Kim had an exam today "Mom am heading to school now, we have exams today. Merci beaucoup mama. Au revoir". He said and dashed out. As he was heading to school by foot along the Re de revole Street,he saw a wonderful figure. A young lady to be precise. Her beauty was mesmerising. She had long blond hair,and smooth lips. She was heaven on earth. Kim just stood by himself wondering who made this beautiful young lady that he did not know when she noticed him and walked up to him. " Hola",she said "my name is Gracia Frenco. I was born and brought up in France. This is the first time I have seen you in this neighborhood, at least as a boy that has reach the age of reason". She said this and giggled. " Ho..l.a,Grac...ia"Kim said stammering. There were silence for two minutes and Gracia decided to break the ice. She said "Hey,I thought you guys had exams today,what are you still doing here?". She said this in an attempt to get rid of Kim,for to her Kim was not worthy of her because of his lack of confidence in himself. Kim suddenly remembered " yes dear you are Right,merci beaucoup". He gave her a tight hug and ran along the street of Re de revoli to school. He and his mama and papa resided in Paris,and there apartment was located at Re de revoli street... Gracia was shocked,"this dude hugged me?". She was blushing. Never did she know that young boy,who will one day grow into a man was no ORDINARY FRENCH BOY.

The exams were done and dusted. And the results came out,Kim was the best student. Kim was the most handsome French boy in class,the beloved of all the ladies. Kim was on his way to the bathroom one day, when he heard the voice of someone pleading for help. Kim traced the direction of the sound and it came from the female bathroom. He ran as fast as he could and on reaching there,he saw a bunch of five boys holding a young lady. Their aim was to deal with her because she told on them to the principal, one of them yielded a cane about to whip her with it,when Kim suddenly grabbed it from him. Kim was unsure of what he was doing;he thought he never had fought before,at least in this life. POOR KIM!. "Hey French boy,mind your own business", one of the boys shouted. Kim was shaking in fear but it wasn't that obvious, but he mustered enough courage to say to them" Leave now or face my wrath". What?? Did Kim Just say that to these horrifying young looking boys? One of the boys, Bimbo by name grabbed Kim by the collar of his uniform attempting to raise him up,but Kim didn't budge. He resisted and finally gave Bimbo a hard blow on his manhood. Bimbo groaned in pain,before the other boys knew what was going on Kim already grabbed the girl and dashed out to where no one knew. Kim took her to Notre Dame de Paris Catholic Church, the place of his baptism. It was the most serene place and Kim believed she needed some cool. All these while Kim had no idea about the identity of the young lady whom he risked his life for,so he turned to look at this mysterious lady who was seating close to him. Lo and behold, it was Gracia. Could this be destiny or something more, Love?. "God!!! You again", Kim said standing up," So you attend the same school as I,and you didn't say a word? Why?",Kim said fuming in anger,not knowing why. Gracia was not surprised by his outburst, so she just stood up from the pew and moved to where he was standing, touched his shoulder and gave him a hug saying "thank you for saving me today,I really appreciate. You are my hero. Could you kindly drop me home please? Am afraid those boys might come back". Kim was glad about the hug. He smiled. " okay Grace I will take you home. Hope it okay with me calling you Grace if you don't mind?". Kim said blushing. "Yes it okay dear. You can call me anything, just don't call me cow,I detest cow. To be frank,am allergic to cow" she said smiling to herself and Kim joined her and the smile erupted into a laughter. They held hands and Kim walked her home..

Meanwhile the Supreme being was also busy. Kim enjoying the company of his future wife and the Supreme being working the work of the FUTURE,SAME GOES FOR THE TERRORIST OF THE REALM...

Kim walked her home and bid her farewell, she was glad. Kim after dropping her home went to his residence at number 13 Re vo revore street. He entered through the door, rushed to his mama and gave her a hug,"mama I think I have found the love of my life",he said smiling. "Hey young man,you are still in school so focus. Leave girls alone for now,you need all your focus at this vital stage of your life", Kim's Mom said gripping him by the ear. " Okay mom I have heard all you have to say. By the way,where is papa?",Kim said observing his surroundings. "My dear he hasn't come back since morning, am very worried. I hope he is okay",Kim's mom said with tears in her eyes. " Mama, not again. Papa will definitely come back home. I know he will ",Kim said this and wished his mom goodnight, and ran up to the stairs to his room where his dinner was served. He ate his meal,took his bath and lay on the bed smiling to himself and thinking about Gracia. He was just smiling and then Sleep took over the young lad. Few minutes after Kim dozed off,someone knocked on the door,Kim's mom went to get the door. Lo and behold it was Mr. Chatelizer, her husband and he was drunk and very wasted. " Darling, what happened to you? why are you drunk?. Bby say something please." Mr Chatelizer just looked at her and gave her a slap on the face,and she landed on the bare ground. He bounced on her and gave her a beating. She was helpless. She was quiet while all this was happening to her, but the part that really touched her was when he punched her eye,blood gushing out. She screamed"Help!!,someone help me please". She kept on pleading with her husband to stop,but her plea fell on deaf ears. Kim was still in bed but woke up suddenly when he heard a voice contrary to the plea of his mom. "IT IS TIME", that was the voice he heard. He woke up suddenly and still in thought about the voice he heard, he heard his mom crying for help. He immediately opened the door to his room and dashed out. His mom was drenched in blood, with bruises all over her body. " Papa stop please,what's happening to you?, why are you doing this to mom?". Mr. Chatelizer looked disgustingly at Kim and raised his hand to give him a slap,but something caught up with him and he just ended up saying "I hate you. You are not my son,and will never be. You are just a product of my partnership with my company, so get lost bastard". He said this and in anger left the house. Kim's mom already fainted. Kim was sad,confused, agitated and needed someone to talk to. He immediately called his mom's sister,Mrs. Lim and she came in a flash,and together they took her to the car and she drove her to the hospital.

Kim's mom was lucky, she didn't suffer any major injuries. Except for her eye, that part was permanently damaged beyond repair. She was going to be discharged the day after tomorrow,that day being Sunday. Kim's mom sister took care of the hospital bills and Kim thanked her with all his heart. Kim was mad at everything, he needed some cool. He went to the roof of the hospital and broke down in tears,he wept and wept and wept till there was no tears left. He just sat on the roof,and thoughts ran through his Mind. He felt alone. The thought of committing suicide crossed his mind. As he was contemplating on what to do,a soft hand touched him from behind. It was his lovely damsel, Gracia. She looked more beautiful in house wears than in her school uniform. "Am here for you Kim through tough and thin. Don't give up, this too shall pass",Garcia said caressing his shoulder. He felt relieved. He placed his hand on hers, and said" thank you Gracia. But how did you know I was here?. I did not remember mentioning it to you dear, I was deep in thought. So tell me my dear how did you get a wind of what happened to my mom?",Gracia just smiled at Kim and said "love my dear supersedes all. It makes a way where there is none. It directed me to you. Okay let me be frank with you, your aunt called me up. She took my number from your phone and thought as much that I was your friend,and she guessed right. So here I am fulfilling love call." "Okay dear I hear you", said Kim,"no more questions for now. But you should be at home dear. You know how the paper of today will be. It's already morning dear", Kim took out his phone from his backpack and the time was 3:00am. "It's already morning dear,and as your future boyfriend", he said while blushing" I would like for you to go home and prepare for today's exam paper, you know that today's paper will not be a walk in the park. Please dear". Gracia didn't respond to Kim's request, she just came up and sat behind him and rested on his shoulder and there she slept on his shoulder. Kim on the other hand slept on her head. Today was Friday,and it marked the day of the Celebration of the Lord's death. Today was Good Friday.

As Kim slept he heard the cry of a man "Danger, danger, danger looms around. Run now and escape. Stay behind and be slaughtered. Hahaha. Hey, god of speed what are you doing lying down? Your people needs you. The apple has been corrupted and the tree has virus. There is no time. Attend the Mass today and you will see for yourselves what am telling you. Arise!!!!".. Kim woke up and saw no one but himself. Gracia was gone. She was not with him when he woke up.

The time was 7:30am,the passion play of the Christ has already started. Kim was not shocked at Gloria's absence, he knew she did as she was told. " Good morning Kim",said a voice from behind, it was Mrs. Lim, "what are you doing lying up here? Come down and have a bath,we have a passion play to attend", she said and exited the roof" don't be late young man",she said and finally dashed out. Kim was deep in thought about the dream he had earlier this morning. But could not make sense of it all"god of speed?, who could that be?." Kim's sister and her husband, Gary were waiting downstairs for Kim. He came down and they all entered Gary's SUV,and left for the Church. Notre Dame de Paris was filled up with people when they arrived, both good and bad alike. They had to stay at the extreme end of the Church to watch the play. "Helo Dear", said a rasping voice from within. Lo and behold, it was Gracia. " How did you get here? I mean how did you find me? I mean.. "Kim was short of words. Gracia just said" Kim let's be quiet so we can better grasp the message of the play". Kim was mesmerized.

The play went on and on the twelfth station where Jesus died,all kneed. In the silence of their heart the priest invited them to ask God for his mercy and grant them peace. "BLOODSHED EVERYWHERE. PEOPLE CRYING AND MOANING. YOUNG CHILDREN GRINDED IN MACHINES. YOUNG BLOOD WASTED AWAY. ARISE CHOSEN ONE. THERE IS NO TIME". " We adore you O Christ and we bless",and the people responded"because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world". Then the lights were out. And for the first time in many years, there was a solar eclipse. The day turned into night. Something was definitely wrong. The priest in charge, Father Denis called one of the ushers,Mr. Chad by name and inquired from him what was going on. Mr Chad still shaking said" Father legions of blood sucking demons are on the street. They have killed a lot of people, even the armed forces are at their mercy. What do we do Father?". Father Denis did not develop cold feet. He called out to his parishioners encouraging them with the words " Men and women of God, God will never put us to shame. Those blood sucking demons will witness the Almighty power of the Supreme God. He said this and went out to the street alone to face the demons. On seeing him, they rushed in his direction to slay him,but could not. Why? A mighty Angel was behind him. They could not harm him,instead they were harmed. Father Denis took them by the hand and said"I free you in the name of Jesus in nomine Patri,et fillio,et spiritu sancti. Amen". And they were freed. When their leader saw this, he was not happy. They aborted their operation to come back stronger the second time.

Now where was Kim,Gracia and His relatives while all this were playing out?. They were in the house. How they got there, no one knew. They were all in bed sleeping. From the Church,now to the house and sleeping. Strange right?.

For months this same event never repeated itself. The people of Paris enjoyed peace,but till when?. When Kim and his relatives woke up,they were shocked that a year has already passed. They have been sleeping for a year now. "What", Kim exclaimed. " What just happened? I don't understand ". Kim stood there mute and as he surveyed his environment he found out that Mr. Gary and Mrs. Lim were still asleep. But Gracia was no where to be found. Kim was still deep In thoughts about this whole thing when someone tapped him from behind. Kim suddenly turned to see who it was. It was an old young man. He had this horrible breath, and his face was scarified. " Who are you?",Kim asked in fear. The old young man just smiled and said"no need to worry child or should I say Zanta. You are in my turf in the middle of the volcanic ocean. There is no escape for you. But you can end the suffering of your relatives, just tell me where the Holy Book with the Holy language is. You see boy, Gary and his wife are in a death sleep. It astonishing that they are still alive till now,but it won't be long before they breath their last. Just say the word boy and you will end their suffering. Your mom is in the hospital right? Well,we weren't able to touch her for there was an archangel guiding her. But nonetheless we still have these people. "Kim was confused for he had no idea what this man was talking about. But he knew he had to do something,just anything to save both his relatives. " What of the lady that was beside me,where is she? What have you done to her? "Kim managed to ask. " Well",the old man said"we didn't see any lady. Maybe you were just imagining things. Enough of the chit chat boy,tell me now!!!!!!!". The old man knowing fully well that Kim was not that afraid decided to reveal his horrible face. He used his sharp fingers to scratch off this old young face. Lo and behold, the old young man was Asmodeus,the king of the Demons. Kim was horrified by the disgusting nature of his face. In his face one could see all types of insects living in each hole of his face.
