Qubetron Trilogy

21.Arrival

        By stepping into the portal, he experienced a sudden drag. He was travelling very fast in it, travelling at an unimaginable speed. His face muscles are shivering and he is shouting with fear that it's so loud which could burst his vocal cords. After an unimaginable experience he landed outside. On that instant, one woman noticed him.

         She is elsewhere in some kind of swamp. She stood on a green pole with only her thumb toe finger pressing against it and another leg rose sideways up that is so flexible it crossed her head and a few centimetres away from head. She is meditating. She dressed up in a very old fashioned way but her clothes are swanned white and her face is glowing like gold. She seems a bit older. She closed her eyes. On Steve's arrival, she found out about his arrival and smiled without opening her eyes.

         In her mind she thought. WHITE KNIGHT has arrived. And other women also have known about his arrival. She was in a dark kind of room. Turned opposite side and combing her thick golden blonde hair. So many women are present in her room serving her. Her face is not visible. At that instant of Steve's arrival, she abruptly stopped combing saying words of other language but by translating it means "someone is here, bring him to me" the guards requested her permission to leave and left.

         Here Steve is standing in an open wide place. There is no site of any buildings or natural works. The entire place is empty. He is rotating around and seeing each side. The place is empty. He is even not sure about where he is. He found a small round planet-like object, like the moon to earth. At far a distance he found the exact same sized planet but it is dark compared to near one. He called Nova. Nova answered. What can I do for you Steve? 

        He asked can you tell me where I am. Nova scanned entirely and said, sorry sir I'm unable to trace. I've scanned the entire earth and all the nearby planets and galaxies known to us. This should be a very long far away galaxy that humans have not known anything about. You could have come millions of light years away from the Earth. Steve replied, OK Nova Scan this entire place and describes everything. Nova took a seconds of time and scanned everything and presented him with a holographic map. It's a 3 dimensional map. It started to explain.

         Sir this is the planet you are in. It's very abnormal. This planet entirely is divided into 2 equal parts at the centre. But a centre some of the places do not belong to either of the sides and it is neutral. This division is done by the living organisms here. Chances of life here are very high. You are now present at the near end of the neutral zone. If you travel to the east, you will enter into a half zone. Other half zone on the west is far away from you. 

        Each half zone has a moon like planet rotating and revolving. Your near half zone is somewhat brighter compared to the far half zone. The far half zone has very dull weather. Nature patterns are very different in 2 half zones. The brighter side has very bright and beautiful nature with colourful flowers and bright green trees just like earth. But the dull side is very ugly and swampy in nature. No bright colours and seems like an abandoned place. 

        So my suggestion is that it might be not a good idea to go that half zone. Travel towards this bright half zone and see what happens. He started to walk towards the bright half zone and checked every aspect on his way. He checked the clock that is bound to the earth's planetary rules. He was shocked. The time is running very slow at the rate of nanoseconds. Which means the time here moves very fast compared to earth's time. 

        It's based on the theory of relativity. Time changes from place to place. On quick data and random checks, He found out that one year on this planet equals only 2.5 days on earth. At this rate he lives many thousands of years more than the people on the earth. In this way he is walking checking surroundings. While his arrival. The guards sent by the Queen have arrived near him and hide behind the rocks. He doesn't know that. On approaching they jumped out and caught him. He startled and shouted, who are you? Leave me, what are you doing?

         And shouting continues with trying to break free. They were talking in other languages he did not understand but their expressions seemed angry. He is trying to activate black but his hands are far away to press the button on his watch. He is trying very hard to press it. But he can't. They were just like men on earth but their language and personality are different. They are very strong and very charming. The dresses seem to be a bit old fashioned. While the process continues, one of the guards took some kind of leaf and rubbed it and pressed against his nose.

         He fell unconscious instantly. They lifted him up and took him into the bright half zone. Due to such hard struggle, the portal remote tied to his hand got loose and fell down in that land. He is unconscious to notice it. Meanwhile, they entered the bright zone. It is a very beautiful place with greenery everywhere. Every place is scenery. 

        Buildings are built with rocks and they appear to be very strong. The people present there are very radiant. While walking they entered the Palace. It's a wonder. No words could describe it. The place is the most beautiful place to be ever seen. It is very grand and huge, shining like a star. They took him inside. So many people were standing either side of the way shouting in unknown language. He is still unconscious. He got to the centre of the Palace in front of a throne and he was chained up like he could not move. 

        After confirming everything, the guard took another leaf and rubbed. He made Steve smell. He woke up and slowly realised that he was imprisoned. All the people around him are shouting in unknown language, but one thing is clear. They are very angry upon Steve's arrival. He sensed danger to him and wanted to escape but he chained up and found out that his portal remote went missing. So he wants to try something to make his hand free. 

        So that he would be active black and can escape. But he doesn't find anything. So he wanted to engage into a fight that might break his chain. He thought of fighting with a big strong guy, so that his beating would break the chains. It's very risky, but this might be the only chance to escape. So he started shouting very enraged and tried to beat the strongest guard by his side, the guard lost his temper and started to beat Steve and they engaged into a fight and the guard was beating Steve that would cause him death and Steve repeatedly turned to get punched on the right hand. 

        That would become loose and with that hand he can activate the black. So after many punches, his plan worked. The chain got broken and Steve managed to break loose his right hand and escaped from the middle of guards and about to press the button. On that instant of pressing, he saw forward. Suddenly, he abruptly stopped his hand from pressing the button involuntarily. He got stunned…. His face started to glow and unknown happiness started to fill…. He stood still with a finger only a few millimetres distance from the button.

To be continued….
