The Unknown

The Unknown Ep.3

The journey was lonely, I had to hide every time I saw those things as I did not want to raise alarms, I wanted to surprise them with what I had found about me and confront them with my powers. I finally arrived at the supposed base for whatever these things are, it was quiet, too quiet in fact, the building was abandoned, no one in sight. I went in and straight away I could feel them like they were calling me, it was a strong feeling, almost hypnotic. I resisted, but also knew that I had to follow it as it would lead me to where I needed to go.

It was dark and damp, and I could feel closer, and yet no one was around, not a single thing, all of the sudden, light, and a bit of noise, I hid behind a wall so I could see what was going on, and then I saw them, they were... normal... like the same height as me, looked almost human form but with strange faces, I got closer to try and hear something but I didn't even know if I could understand them.

The closer I got the stranger this whole situation was, I could understand them perfectly, more so because of the perfect English they were speaking, I made noise, "He is here" I heard one of them say, "you can come out and speak with us, we will not harm you", I was perplexed, what does this mean? Are they friendly? Are they just deceiving me?, I was prepared to unleash my force upon them but I was intrigued as I could feel that they did not want to hurt me, I moved closer to them, "what are you?", I'm not sure what answer I was expecting but certainly not what I heard, "We are the Navari, we are here to help you... after all.. you are our Son!!" 

I went into shock, couldn't even say a word, Son? what does this mean? that I was born from this species? that I am not human? That I killed them when I escaped?... so many things were going through my head that it felt like it was going to explode. "How do you mean Son?", I had to know what they meant, regardless of how hard it would be to know the truth. "We have been on this planet for a very long time, waiting for the right child to be born, for that child would be the savior of this planet and the universe", I could not believe what I was hearing, the universe? the planet? so many questions in my head, "We knew that the Satari were eventually going to reach Earth, they have been destroying planets around the universe for centuries, and humans are the only life form that can sustain the Power but only the right child can survive it".

"What am I?, I mean you said that I could sustain the Power? is that what I feel inside me?" The Navari went quiet for a second, and that's when I felt it, everything hit me at once, images in my head from the destruction that the Satari had caused throughout the universe, the millions of lives they took from all of the different species, it was unbearable all the pain I was feeling and then I saw what they did to me, why I had to be the one to end this war, why I had to do this and no one else could.

"Do you understand now why we had to do it this way, we did not cause the destruction there were just things that we did not see coming".

I had to end this, it was now or never, during my time in The City I had learned to develop my power, but now, I know what I am capable of doing and I know that I will be able to save this planet from destruction.

I was embarking on a dangerous journey, I knew what I had to do and for the first time I knew what we were fighting, The Satari were a vicious species ready to kill and destroy anything that stood in their way, but why are they still here? Surely they would of got what they wanted and left or maybe they are still looking for it. I still had so many unanswered questions but I set out to find out more.

When I last left I was not expecting to return to The City, I was ready to give my life for those I love, and now that I had to seek further to get to were I needed to be I could return, but I was afraid as I did not say goodbye to anyone, just left notes and not exactly great either as I am not great at goodbyes. 

The return was long, it was going to take days to get there and I was anxious for it, I missed my mum, and by God did I miss my girl as well, the way she smiled, the way she looked at me, the way she touched me, I loved her so much! I needed to get back as soon as possible as I was worried that something might of happened while I was away, even though I left to end the war, that took an unexpected turn with The Navari turning up and all, I did have to apologize to them for destroying and killing some of them, I now know that they were not trying to kill me at all, they made me this way, gave me this power to fight the atrocities that were happening in the world.

As I walk the barren wasteland that was once a city I remembered were I was, I had been to this city before with my mom and my dad before he died, it was a great day out in the zoo, I remember it like it was yesterday, the day was amazing but my Dad had to leave for work and my Mum was sad, but the way they still looked at each other after so many years together was amazing, they met when they were young and it was love at first sight, just like the movies, that’s why it was so hard on my mum when he was taken from us, he never even saw the car coming. I remember the funeral, so many people there, my dad was a popular person and liked by so many, it was a beautiful service that put him to rest. My mum told me a few years later that it was a hit and run, they never found the car that hit him or who was driving the car and now it was too late for me to do anything, if only I had these powers back then I could of done something, but what? I was young and even if I had powers I probably wouldn’t know what to do with them like I do now.

I felt something, I could now, you see that’s one of the things I can do with the powers I have, I can feel things, its hard to explain what it’s like though but I could feel something close by, although I could do more with my powers I was still learning this part, I can feel things but sometimes it’s hard to understand what they are. I was strong enough to stand on my own two feet so I was ready for anything.

The closer it was the more I could feel, and the more I was starting to realize not what it was but who it was. What was she doing here? I came out of my hiding spot and went to meet her, but something was off, I could feel something else but a very strange feeling. Our eyes crossed and my heart melted away when I realized what was going on, we ran into each others arms, the strongest hug I have ever felt. “What are you doing here? Are you insane? You could get hurt! Specially now that you are.. pregnant!!?”. I could feel the baby’s heartbeat as it was my own, the connection between us was so strong I could feel her inside me. “You can feel her? I wanted to tell you sooner but I couldn’t get hold of you, why did you leave like that? Its been months, I feared the worst!” She was right,, it had been months since I left without saying anything during that time, I could feel the anxiety and happiness emanating from her, but I could also feel sorrow and fear; “What’s wrong my love? I can feel something is wrong!” I could just read her mind but I promised myself never to do that to the people I love.

“They came for us, they found us, we didn’t have a chance I managed to get away but…The City… it’s gone and so is your mum, they took her!” My heart sunk in my chest, I should of tried harder to find them and kill them all, I failed and now they have my mum! But it doesn’t make sense, why now?; the city has been for a long time and they never found it, they never attacked… and then it hit me. It was me, I did this, it was all so clear now, I knew from the Navari what the Satari were capable of doing and I saw what they did to all the planets before and they warned me that they were capable of seeing the future but it was never 100% clear, could it be that they knew I was going to be a father and that the child is important? Or was this just an unprovoked attack?; My head was full of all these crazy theories, I needed answers.
