The Unknown

The Unknown Ep. 4

“I have to know what is going on! I must find them again!” and as I said these words the girl was looking at me with indignation, “What do you mean? Who are you talking about?” I realized that she knew nothing of what had happened to me over the past few months. “I will tell you everything but we must hurry I don’t think that we have that much time.” 

The goal was simple, find the Navari, get the information I need, save mum, kill the Satari, of course this is easier said than done because if they can predict the future they will probably know I am coming for them. I had to be careful, specially know that I was going to be a father, I was so happy, my heart was so full of love for this unborn child and for her mother that gave me such internal peace. I needed to find them as fast as I could so I called for them the way they taught me how and arranged a meeting.

I explained what had been going on to the girl, “So why have super powers now? Is that what you are saying?” in a way it was like having super powers but I hadn’t really made full use of them and only tapped into it a little bit as I was still learning how to use most of them, “ What can you do though?”, “ that’s a hard question to answer as even I am not sure of all of it, I can read minds when I need to, I can stop and move things with my mind and I can feel things around me,  I am unsure of the rest” As I explained all of this her eyes were glowing, the way she looked at me, such love I could feel from her.

I decided to take her to meet the Navari, I told her what to expect so she would not freak out when she saw them although there was not much too see and they’re almost humanoid I shape not like anything grotesque out of a horror film. We arrived to find the Navari waiting for us and there was something not right, I could feel something, so much pain, I have never felt this before, it was excruciating, “What is going on? What is this I am feeling?” Out of the shadows I heard a voice “ What you are feeling is how I am feeling…Son” I went into shock, who was this calling me son, could it be my Dad? But he died years ago, it can’t be. The emotions overloaded my system, I fainted, not sure how long I was out for but it was enough for when I came around I could hear laughter, I felt joy and happiness, “ Glad you are awake, come… you are ready now” I got up and followed the Navari and as I walked in the room I knew inside what I was feeling was right,  “Dad?!?!” He looked up, under the light, he looked the same, not aged in the past years, I ran towards him, “I missed you so much!” I had so many questions to ask him I didn’t know were to start and then the most astonishing thing happened, “ I was always here, you just never saw me” I looked at him, my face in awe, could it be that he too had powers? But how? 

“ Let me explain everything Son, here come and sit down” As I sat down and my Dad started talking I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, “So you didn’t die? It was all a trick? How could you do that to me ? and to Mum she still cries for you and you have been alive all this time?” I couldn’t deal with all the emotions, I ran into the night, I was angry, so angry in fact that I never bothered to look around, I was back in the city I had visited before with my family, but it was different this time, it was like I was there, I could see myself and Mum and Dad, “There is no other way, They are coming for us all and he is the only one that can protect us until the time is right for us to strike back, I have to do this now” I could hear them talking, like I was there, I was but as a child, was this another one of my powers? Could I tap in my memories and relive them, “ but listen to what you are saying? You are talking about leaving us, leaving him, what do I tell him?, I remember this like it was yesterday, my dad called me over, lifted me up and gave me the biggest hug ever, “ He will know the truth when the time is right” He said as he looked at my Mum.

I feel to the floor, crying, that was the happiest memory of my childhood, and also the saddest as it was the last time I saw my dad before he… well… left. Now I know why my mum was sad, not because he was leaving for work but because he was leaving us for good, but I still didn’t know why he left, I stood up and wiped away my tears, “ I have to go back and find out the truth.” As I was saying these words I was also thinking that I may not be ready for it.

I rushed back to meet him again and ask some questions, I wasn’t sure what I was about to walk into but I needed this, for me. I wondered if he knew about Mum and if he knew he was about to be a Grandad. As I arrived the Girl ran towards me and hugged me, “ I was so scared, you been gone for hours, but you Dad kept saying that you needed to process this your way and that he knew were u were and what you were doing, How is that possible?” I didn’t have the answer for that yet but I was about to know, “Dad I need to know what is going on!”, He came closer and gently put his hand on my shoulder and said “It’s easier if I show you!” As he said these words I felt a rush of power coursing through my body, I felt amazing and then, everything was there, in front of me, playing like a movie but incredibly fast yet I could understand everything. 

It felt like hours had gone past while I was immersed in the memory realm but for the outside world it was minutes, when I went back to the Girl I looked normal to her but inside I could feel like someone had just unlocked a door and behind that door were all the answers for everything I wanted to know, but not just for what had happened to me and my Dad, I mean everything in the Universe, and it was overwhelming! “I need to rest for a while, all this information left me exhausted” I went to get some sleep but there was no use, so much was going in my head that I couldn’t switch off my brain. During my trip down memory alley I had learnt more than I had all my life. 

Not only was my Dad a Navari he was also the most powerful one for centuries and he was also very old, like a few hundred years old, you see, the Navari have been around for a millennia and so have the Satari, but there was never an answer for the g******e caused by the wars, the Navari would simply keep moving from planet to planet to avoid extinction, and there are very few left alive and that’s why the Satari are here, because the remaining Navari are hiding on Earth, living amongst us trying to survive, but as I now know they are not here by mistake, my Dad knew that this was the right time to come here, you see he can predict the future and he knew that if he came to Earth he would meet my Mum and have me and that ultimately I would meet a Girl and have a child, the Navari didn’t want to hurt me when I was taken, they unlocked my power so I could follow this path, the path that would lead me to find my Mum again, to realize who my Dad was and why I was so important to the world, you see I was only important because of who I would meet and that meeting would give me you and that you are the important one and the thing I regret the most is never telling your Mother how much I loved every day I was with her, and that she gave me the most important thing in my life, and as you grow older you will understand your importance too, you are my Daughter and I will do anything to protect you until we are ready to finally free this world”
