Chapter 3 - chapter 2 January 31, 2018 10:41pm

Everybody in the united states was looking up in the sky for the blood red moon that will be the first one to completely be covered. An Alex was heading to his friend's house to observe the lunar eclipse. As he got into his car, he starts to have weird pain in his chest. As he looked at the time, he ignored the pain and continued to drive to his friend's house. His friend John greeted him, they have been friends since they were kids. They went outside in the back yard where they were barbequing. The city of Albuquerque was all quiet like all the life had become silent but it's always like that in the outskirts of the city.

Alex walked up to his friend who sat around a camp fire and said, "what's up". They all said sup and gave him a beer.

He said, "what do you guys think about this eclipse"?

John said, "it's going to be trippy as hell".

Marina replied with a nervous voice, "Maybe I can get some good photos."

As time passed on the sky was empty no star shown that night. At 4:25 am everybody looked toward the moon it was a blood red, but Alex saw a strange symbol starting to appear.

Alex turned to Marina and asked, "did you see that, the symbol upon the moon?".

Marina looked at the moon and said to Alex, "what are you talking about Alex. You must be tired, go home and rest."

Alex looked toward the sky and the symbol was still there. As he walked to his car, he saw a piece of paper that looked like old and ancient. He picked it up and saw symbols that looked like an ancient language but as looked closely at it, the symbols glowed red as the moon and appeared a djinn. Alex jumped back and fell. As the djinn came close to Alex it spoke in an ancient language.

Alex spoke in a shaky voice, "what are you and what you want from me?"

The djinn looked at Alex and spoke in a dry wispy voice "Are you Asalvo the god of good and justice."

Alex replied a shaky voice, "No and who is Asalvo?"

The djinn shook his head and spoke "You don't have all of your memory master, but

I think you should lay down and get some sleep."

Alex looked at the djinn with a confused look. The djinn looked at Alex and said a spell in an ancient language. Alex falls asleep.

Earlier that day

Mia was walking around Coronado mall looking around till a mysterious box caught her eye. As she tried to open the box the shopkeeper closed it immediately out of nowhere. Mia asked the shopkeeper if she could purchase the box

The old woman spoke in a soft calm voice, "Be patient dearie, my family will be glad for your arrival. Fair goddess of magic and beauty, Eheia".

Mia looked at the old woman and spoke. "My name is Mia, not this person Eheia I'm sorry but I have to go now."

Mia turned and started to walk out the door till she noticed she was not in the mall anymore. The old lady gestured Mia to a stairway that led down to a library. Mia looked at people in the long corridor filled with different types of books, the room smelled like dust and beeswax mixed with lavender and cherry blossoms.

The old lady spoke calm and gentle voice, "this will be your new home now Eheia we manaketes and mages have been waiting for your return, I am the oldest manakete to be around since the time of the great battle long ago.".

The next day

An alarm rings and Alex wakes shaking his head. What has happened and was all that a crazy dream. He glances at the clock again and shouts. He ran fast to his classes at unm. As he enters the class the teacher Mr. Sanchez stops him and hands him a test. Alex takes his seat he notices a piece of paper from last night and he throws it into his bag. He looks down at his bag it starts to glow, and he open it to find three crystals all glowing at the same time. A flash of light came out three djinns whose names were Avala, Acidosis, and Nighe. As Alex looked around to see if they saw the same thing but nobody didn't notice the big flash from the crystals.

Nighe spoke in a wispy voice, "sorry for last night my lord I forgot to properly introduce myself my name is nighe and these are a few djinns I have found. I am a wind djinn, the one on my right is Avala she is a water djinn, and on my left, is acidosis the poison djinn."

Alex looked at all three and looked at nighe his body was like a mini tornado, but it disturbed nothing, he looked at Avala she was like a never-ending waterfall, but as Alex looked deeper, he could see the ocean where the fish swam. Last was acidosis whose body was like scaly as a snake and as he let out a breath reeked of sulfur and ammonia.

Alex was still in shock but as he looked around see if anyone was looking at the djinns, but they were all focused on the test. Alex tried to ignore them, but they circled around the classroom looking at the students individually in awe. Finally, Nighe looked back at Alex and was thinking 'is this kid Avo and will he make things great again. I know I shouldn't doubt him I know for sure this is the kid. But what happens if he is not? What then should I do? What can I do?'. The other Djinns looked around at the students and back at Alex. Avala approached Alex and was kneeling by his side looking upon his face so focused, he was thinking of the memories she had looking upon Asalvo while he was reading. Alex looked at the corner of his eye and saw Avala looking at him and took in a deep breath, the air was sweet and fresh like being by the shore on a warm summer's eve laying under a tree and feeling the small warmth of the sun from the spaces of the trees. Alex turned back and focus on his test still having the sensation of her beauty by his side.

Mia awakening from the room the manaketes provided her, but many things were going on inside Mia's head about her being the god of magic and beauty. All of the things in her life have been crazy but not to this extent. There was a knock at the door where the old lady she met at the store entered the room and spoke " sorry dear about yesterday. It must be quite a shock about this and must think we are all crazy but ever since the eclipse happened I kept having dreams about you and our goddess eheia. But I'm sure you would like to ask me questions or have any concerns." As she sat down next to mia on the bed. Mia was thinking of all the overwhelming questions and was not sure to do.

The old lady said " it's okay to be afraid and you mustn't be afraid we have long been waiting for you." She got up from the bed and extended her hand to Mia, and spoke " Come let's go for a walk and I'll explain everything to you." Mia takes hold of the old lady's hand proceed to exit the room.

Meanwhile, in Chaco canyon there was Leon studying the ancient buildings the of natives. As he walked the long hallways observing the rements of pottery and miscellaneous objects. Leon grabbing the pottery in his hands " This is awesome to find a pottery still intact" as he brushes it off slowly. As he dusting off the dirt, he sees a silhouette of what looks to be a man dressed in armour. Leon shouted ' No way, this is a freaking amazing find'. He looks at his watch. The time is 3pm, ' fuck I'm going to be late again' Leon shouted as he quickly packs his gear back into his bag. He looks down at the pottery and thoight to himself if he should take it or leave it. He looks at his watch and quickly takes it and carefully stuffed it into his bag. As he runs out of the building the wisp of smoke came his bag and spoke softly 'I missed you...' . Leon shrugged his shoulders and quickly gets in his car and the wisp of smoke fades away.
