Rising Beyond the Stars

The Stranger From Far away land

Wafula was a guard at Singh's home. Unlike many homes, at Singh's home the guards used to stay at the front and back door of the mansion. This was an unusual thing that made people think he was insane.

The town was so silent. The engines of the cars roared silently. people were busy chatting on their phones. No one was talking to each other. This had became a norm in the new generation. Only a few people like Mr Singh's family were lucky for they enjoyed old ways of conversing. The real and not virtual way.

The stranger walked on the footpath. He was heading to the residence where Mr Singh's family stayed. He passed many stores. Many scycrappers made of fibreglass. He walked past the C.B.D. He saw how some idle men and women sat there looking on their phones. He waved at them. Then their was a laughter. Had he cracked a joke? He wondered.

Men and women whom he passed on their way had headphones. Others were busy chatting on their phones. Some of them were making love on the streets.

Stealing was a thing of the past. CCTV cameras installed everywhere. Robotic police were busy patrolling the streets to spot a crime. Crime was something rare in that city. Criminals were punished severely as they were few yet security stakeholders were many. Most crime had turned to digital ware as many gave up on physical stealing.

He opened his notebook to remind himself something. Again there was laughter. Most people had become thoughtless as a few people had developed a way to ease their thinking. This looked strange for the stranger.

Wafula tried to stop a stranger who was forcing himself inside. The stranger looked as if he was lost. He was wearing a white robe yet only suitors enter the house. He was almost slapped. He had no choice but to let him.

Inside the house , there were Lila and Joel, who were planning on their business matter. They were rudely stopped by this Stranger who neither knocked nor entered the house peacefully.

"Who are you and what do you want in my house?" Lila yelled at him.

"I love your boldness Lila, and that is why I have come. You gave birth to a child who is greatly hated by his father ,did you?"

Lila looked at him puzzled. How could he know she gave birth to a child and the child is almost killed by his father. She also noticed something strange with her baby. The baby began kicking his legs in the air and clapping something that children of his age barely do.

Then The Stranger began to explain his reason for coming. Every word he said he displayed its image in a spherical illusion that he created.

"I am called Prakash. I am light. You can see it. You can see how bright I shine. This is the Messenger Lord. The servant of Lord Ray and Lord Ignis. I move from place to place checking for the problems facing beings and informing the respective Guardians.

I once entered heaven. I fought with the Gods. I once entered hell. I fought with demons. I am the head of the spiritual beings in our cluster of universes.

I wish to tell you Lila that no matter what your husband does to you and your son. Never let him destroy your son. Your son will be the protector of our cluster of universes. Not an item of destruction.

Your husband General Rajel, the Dragon Warrior feels that his position is being taken by someone. He thinks is Alpha since he is his only son. He lies to you that he will be a destroyer as an excuse for killing him but he is wrong.

The sad news is that the true destroyer lies among you. He is of your blood, Joel. He is of your race. He will begin his mission as soon as Alpha grows into a boy. If Alpha grows and begins to understand all this, tell him that no matter what his father does to him or the one he loves he should not shed his blood. This way he will win against this cruel master who resides among you.

Keep my words and the universe cluster will be safe. For I am a messenger and a messenger tells the truth always. Remember my words Lila. For now I have to leave before the general comes in."

"No wait!" Lila told him as he began walking towards the exit door, "Could you please inform us a little background of my husband and how he ended up here? How could a celestial being come to live among humans yet he's supposed to live among his fellows and protect the humans?"

"It is a long story , Lila," He began to say displaying his sphere of images.

"Once ago we used to live in the headquarters of our cluster. Rajel and I were great friends. We used to move from system to system in our universe. His youthful days were great. Being my friend I decided to show him a mortal being who will grow up to be like Ray Patni -The most Beautiful woman in our cluster of universes.

" This was the beginning of all this. After the war he demanded to be brought the Lady. I tried to stop him telling him that he is an immortal and he is not supposed to marry an immortal. He did not listen he ended up coming to this planet. As a small child he was picked by Mr Joel, who was a tour guide at that time. His lust is the beginning of this all."

As Prakash was planning to leave, Mr Singh entered. Being informed of a strange visitor in his house, he was already armed by his golden rod. The golden rod was an emblem of the Dragon's clan -the owners of the mighty Dragon.

"Did I tell you to never follow me?" he said angrily as he fired the golden flame from his rod to attack Prakash.

"How can you withstand this? Long ago I used to blow you up in a few seconds but now, I can't. What did you do then old friend?" he asked him but this time with a friendly tone.

"The Warrior of the Light, the remaining original of the Light clan, how can you defeat him? Dragon warriors are weak, they depend just on dragons but we the lights are strong. He is the true Prakash. The messenger of truth."

On hearing that he had been called weak, his rage grew. The white tattoo of the Mighty Dragon began to shine. His eyes turned green. He began to breath fire as blue sparks came from his nose. The white robe of Prakash began turning yellow. It was almost being burned.

"Stop it!" Lila yelled, "You gonna destroy the world."

"Ignis aurum. Seer tragone," (oh Dragon seer. Release the golden fire.) He said the spell. Then his hands were filled with fire. Now his body was turning into flames.

"Wait father how can you destroy what you are supposed to protect? You will be termed as weak, father. " Lacey said.

Mr Singh heard his daughters words. He stopped. He let the stranger go.

"If it were not for my daughter, You would have been destroyed. I tell you to go tell Lord Ray that I will destroy him. This will be to revenge for my clan, The Dragon's clan. Leave!" he ordered him.

Then Mr Singh told his wife, father in law and daughter never to tell anyone what they saw happening here. This will be to endanger their own lives. The government would one day come to destroy them.
