As clouds covered the sky and lightning struck down, a boy ran through a forest, he seemed like he was looking for someone. His worried expression completely changed when he had found whom he was looking for. The boy who seemed to be around 20, sighed in relief. His dark brown hair moved as a strong wind hit him and the girl he was looking for. The girl who was 21 at the time stood up from the ground, a bunch of sticks laid around her. Her light blue eyes sparkled as she saw who had appeared.
She walked over to him as he told her that they need to find a place to stay since they weren't close to home. She mentioned that she saw a lonely house not too far from where they were, she also mentioned how it was possible that someone might be there to help. The boy immediately agreed and grabbed her up. He carried her on his back and ran as fast as he could, she held onto him tightly as to not fall off. The girl screamed out the boy's name as she felt they were in danger the boy stopped.
?: ELIAS!
Lightning struck in front of them as soon as he stopped.
Elias: Nichi...how did you...?
Nichi: We'll talk later, keep going.
He nodded and started running towards where she pointed. They arrived in front of a house a few minutes later. Lightning struck the forest and lit a fire which was immediately dissipated for an unknown reason. Before they even knocked on the door, a man opened it. As another gust of wind blew, the man's white hair moved back. He put his hand forward and the wind stopped bothering them. His left eye turned pink, and he invited them in with a smile.
As they walked in, Nichi and Elias saw two others inside. Told them to wait right there and with the snap of a finger created what seemed to be a hole to another place in front of him. As the man walked through and started speaking with a girl, Nichi and Elias looked at each other confused. The man and the girl stepped back through the hole and over to them.
?: Elias, Nichi, welcome. You two can stay as long as you need.
The two were confused on how he knew their name, Elias looked closely and noticed his eye color was different from before, instead of a yellow it was now bright pink.
?: Don't worry, by the way, I know who you are because of my power. It's not like I'm stalking you kids. My name is Kenos, you can call me Ken for short. This here is Yuzui, we live here together.
The girl next to him smiled and waved at them.
Elias: Nice to meet you, and thanks for the help but, what kinda power do you have?
Kenos: Let's just say I'm a jack of all trades. Oh, I forgot to mention, over here are Nahe and Acheron. They're here cause well, big ol' thunderstorm outside.
A boy around 15 years of age waved hello from the sofa. He used his hand to move aside his light blue hair as he continued using his phone. The other boy with brown hair was fast asleep on a mattress that was on the floor.
Kenos: So anyway, are you all hungry? I made some lasagna earlier and there's quite a bit left.
Nichi: I would like some.
Elias: Not gonna lie, me too. I'm starving after being outside all day.
Yuzui: I'll serve them the food, go do the thing you were gonna do.
Kenos: Oh, yeah. Be right back.
He walked outside through the door as thunder kept striking down. He closed the door behind him as Yuzui told Nichi and Elias to follow her. She took them over to the dining table and pulled back seats for them.
Yuzui: Elias, you want a big or small piece.
Elias thought about it for a moment, for as much as he wanted a big piece, he didn't want to take too much from them because he'd feel like a bother.
Elias: I'll take a small piece...but not too small.
Yuzui: Alrighty. What about you Nichi?
Nichi: Umm, the same as him.
Yuzui: Alright then, I'll be back.
She entered another room which they presumed was the kitchen.
Nichi: This feels...awkward.
Elias: What do you mean?
Nichi: I feel out of place.
Elias: Well duh, this is nothing like the small cabins back in our village.
Nichi: Yeah, this feels like a mansion compared to that.
Elias: The real question is, how is there electricity all the way out here.
Yuzui walked back through the door with two plates.
Yuzui: Ken's powers help us with that.
Elias: Isn't that...illegal?
Yuzui: It's not illegal if we're not caught. Plus, we're off the grid. Nobody but you all know we're here.
Elias: How do you get groceries then?
Yuzui: Ken also handles that, his portals are pretty handy.
Nichi: Don't you have to work for money?
Yuzui: Ken's powers.
Elias: Damn, he really is handy.
Yuzui: Here you go.
She put down the plates on the table to reveal big pieces of lasagna.
Elias: I...
Yuzui: Did you think Ken was the only one with cool powers? I read your minds.
Elias: Thank you...
Yuzui's phone started ringing.
Yuzui: I'll be back real quick.
She left the room again.
Elias: This is hella good!
Nichi: It...it's really good.
The two ate as Yuzui ran back through the door.
Yuzui: We need to go!
Elias: Huh?
Yuzui: Something's wrong, we need to get out of this area. Come on!
Nichi and Elias looked at each other for a split second, they stood up and went towards Yuzui. A large explosion was heard outside, the ground shook, and the three stopped moving. As Elias stood in front of the window, he looked outside but only saw a crater where the forest stood and what seemed to be a person with an orange and black hoodie on. A portal appeared behind the three and Kenos came out of it a bit injured. As he closed the portal behind him, Elias looked back at the man outside and noticed he was gone.
Kenos: Yuzui, get the others! I'll take Nichi and Elias.
She nodded in agreement and ran towards the other room.
Kenos: Listen, I'm gonna create a portal to another place, I need you all to stay where I leave you until I get there. Don't do anything stupid, this is a literal life or death situation.
The two nodded silently, Yuzui was heard calling out to Kenos. He immediately turned away and ran that direction as he signaled the two to follow him. When they got over to where Yuzui was, she turned around, scared.
Kenos: Where are-
Yuzui: He took them.
Kenos' one colored eye turned white as he clenched his fist. He then created a portal to some other place.
Kenos: Go in there, I'm not losing you as well.
They all stepped through the portal and he followed. As he closed it behind him, Elias looked around at where they were. Kenos let out a deep breath.
Kenos: Listen, I'm sorry about all this. I'll get you all back home soon...
