Broken Earth: Unveiling the Secrets of the Worlds

Son of man

The two group of species held a meeting prior to the appearance of the new and aggressive species of monsters. “We apologize, this is the only thing that we have right now. Some of the food that we are preparing were knocked down by the beetles because of attack earlier.” The chief of the human tribe says and the elves could not blame them for offering sub par food. “It’s okay, we were not expecting that an attack would occur in your place nor our appearance here.”

       Rupert remembers the excessive food that they brought inside the portal and whispers to Xerxes and remind him about it as well. “We brought it right?” Yusaf and the others stares at them with confused expressions but then they also remember that Xerxes and his friends always bring food on the other side. “You mean the food you always bring? Where is it?” Yusaf says with an excited tone.

       Rupert and Ramirez opens their bags and the smell of the food spread throughout the large tent where everyone is gathered. “This may not be much but please accept it.” Xerxes says with a humble bow and place the food in the table. “What is that amazing smell!?” the native humans and elves had the same reaction when they saw the food sitting on the table.

            “Oh that? That is just one of the things that we enjoyed every time Xerxes comes inside the portal.” Yusaf said while munching on a bread. “Yusaf, you really are just shameless. How can you grab a bite first before the elders? You want to die?” Flugar says with a menacing tone and Yusaf immediately puts the bread away.

                            “I’m sorry about that, my brother just does what he wants to do.” Flugar says with a humble bow. The chief of the native humans thanks and apologize at Xerxes for the inconvenience. “Nah- it’s okay. I was about to give them to Yusaf and the others as a gift but I don’t think he will mind it.” The chief then bows her head and thanks him again.

                            “Sorry about that Yusaf, I guess you have to wait for next time.” Yusaf gestures Xerxes that he doesn’t mind while munching on the bread. A person from the elves and humans manage the food so that it can be serve to everyone equally. After the meal, they started their meeting about the new creatures that is roaming earth.

                            “My brother as well as those three humans here have experiences about those creatures a few days from today as well. That’s why we tag along with them to see what those monsters really are, we never imagined that they would really block our arrows that easily.” Flugar says with a concerned tone and the humans also agrees.

                            “That really took us by surprise as well. Our weapons are really ineffective against them but that takes us to our next concern. Mr. Xerxes, can you give us an answer? Where did you get one of the weapons from the legends?” the human chief ask that took Xerxes by surprise. “Weapons from the legends?” Xerxes ask right after hearing what she referred the pistol to be.

                            “Yes, we have heard it only from legends, our people used to have those weapons when the humans were still a single group. But when our ideals differ, our elders says that the weapons were lost in purpose so that the balance of power is stable.” Flugar also agrees after hearing what the chief says.

                            “Yes, we also heard about it from our elders. We live a thousand year so we can still picture what the legendary weapons are and I can definitely say that your weapon earlier is one of them.” Flugar agrees. Xerxes is in a pinch when the two leaders of each race is questioning where he got the weapon, without any much option, he lied.

                           “I have dreams. I have dreams when this world is still not like this. A place where technology is the pinnacle of power. I saw blueprints in my dream and so I memorize them and this is the result.” The elves don’t find his story believable but the humans are rendered speechless. “Are you saying you are seeing visions about this place?” the chief ask as she can’t believe what Xerxes said. And the latter nodded with a bitter smile.

                           ‘I can’t just tell them the truth about my identity when I am not sure myself.’ He says to himself and added. “That’s why I became a hunter so that I can also finds some clues as to what this place really is and what happened to make this world as it is now.” Rupert and Ramirez then realize that is the reason why their master knows some places and things that they don’t know about.

                            “So that’s why you know of some things. Are you a prophet or something?” Yusaf ask. “I don’t know how you define a prophet but I can certainly say that I am not one of that people.” Yusaf disregards what he said and continues to eat the bread. “Mr. Xerxes, are you perhaps one of those figures? There are several humanoid creatures that we have seen in the past, we lived a long time and have seen many unusual things in or lifetime. We call them angels. They say some things that we, elves don’t understand I doubt humans can even understand their language but there is a particular angel that we saw who is able to speak our language and what he said is not a good thing to hear.”

                            Being the oldest being inside the tent, he has the most experience in seeing the angels. “What did it say?” Xerxes asked. Flugar hesitates before telling them. “That figure said ‘The son of man is dead but will be born again’ our elders have repeated what the creature said over and over again.” Yusaf whispered to Xerxes who is surprised that that creature from their story speak of him.

                            ‘The son of man? What does that mean?’ another questions baffles Xerxes mind about his rebirth from death.
