Chapter 6 - CHAPTER 6: THE HOPE

3rd April 2326, 4 years after the Great Sun Explosion calamity, 1 year after the discovery of the new world, today 4.6 million humans are leaving earth. They will no longer allowed to come to earth. They were leaving for the future generation, for humanity. 10 000 army personal with modern weapon are stationed in front of the Dimensional Gate, AI defence system activated and currently targeting the gate itself, Dimensional Gate guards are in a stand by position to close the gate if any intruders try to get in. now it's been 2 hours since the Dimensional Gate opened up and there is no sign of enemy. It is safe to send everyone to the new world. There are currently more than 6 million people in the waiting are including children who were normally in cyrosleep to send off their parents and to wish good luck and good bye. Roughly 3 hours since the Dimensional Gate opened up, now everyone started to leave group by group. Around 6 hours later, all the groups have been successfully sent off. This day is marked as the beginning of human era in New World. Would be success or end up failure is a question nobody knows the answer. Soon the Dimensional Gate closed. My father went back to home and my mother waiting for his return. When my father saw my mother, tears were rolling out of his eyes. My mother embraces my father and while later both of them went back to their respective cyrosleep device to sleep. The guards were ordered not to disturb them if there is nothing important and they were not to be disturbed. My father wakes up only a week every year while my mother 2 or 3 years once only. Soon, 29 years have passed by. 1.5 million children are still sleeping, my father waiting for next 20 years to pass by so he can open again the Dimensional Gate with hope. Year 2355, as usual both my parents woke up from their cyrosleep device as usual to overseas the management of the shelter for next 1 week. As soon as my mother woke up, she kept vomiting. Some times its normal to vomit after woke up from cryosleep so my father did not bother much but things continues the same for next 3 days so my father brought my mother for a medical check-up and they received news that my mother is pregnant which baffled my father. It was because few years after father sent everyone to new world, he encourages the remaining people to have children but for some reason nobody can get pregnant which confuses every one because when they first move in to the shelter, they were able to conceive but since the moment the Dimensional Gate opened up, nobody can get pregnant. The researchers theorized that since earth was not originally from the new world dimension but it has a gate connected, the new world laws are rejecting the existence of earth and that may be why nobody can have children from the moment the Dimensional Gate opened. They also theorize that my mother must have been pregnant before the Dimensional Gate was opened. I was the first child since the Great Sun Explosion calamity to be born. Since my mother knows she pregnant, she did not go back to cyrosleep. My mom used to tell me when she was pregnant, she always consumes food in a very large amount yet she will feel tired all the time, even doctors unable to identify the reason as during scanning report the pregnancy seemed normal. Then after few months, right before where new year celebrated in old earth, I was born. When I born, doctors and my parents were shocked because unlike other babies, my skin were tough as steel and my baby grip could even break a normal human's bone. Unlike others, my parents were happy for me to be born this way, especially my father, he believes I will be the hero who will save the humanity from its salvation so he named me Iraos which means hero in Greek language. The doctors and researchers want to do all kind of testing to me but my parents never agree to any of it. By the time I was 1 years old, I was perfectly able to understand the language my parents communicating. By the age of 2 I started to learn many things. Even though my parents love me so much they were so strict once they started to teach me something. From age 3 started to cyrosleep again but they will always wake up once a week to teach me something and test it in the following my and during the days they were sleeping, I will be sent to people with different occupation each day such as doctors to learn medicine, engineers to learn engineering, and so on. There are some days I were given as off day where I can be on my own to do things I like, to think for myself or some time chill out with other kids who were not cryosleeping. Mother always train my mind how to be calm during various situation and how to calculate, predict and make a perfect judgement while father teach me combat. Hand to hand combat, sword skills, spear skill, javelin throwing skill, lance skills, how to fight using a stick, rod, club, hammer, and how to use bow. They taught me all kind of skills. Unlike other humans, my memory is great and my body is strong, nimble and flexible so I was able to master so many things. Slowly years passed by, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 15 years passed by. Year 2374, I'm 18 years old this year. The older I am the lesser I get to see my parents. It's been 6 months I last seen them, but I will meet the today as today is my birthday. As expected my parents came to see, when they saw me they hugged me and kissed me and they presented a sweet spongy thing called cake as my birthday present. After the trivial things all done, my parents brought me to a room. This room is called study room which my father never let me enter previously. They brought me there and showed me some antique things called books. Father told me before 22nd century, humans use to gain knowledge from this antique and after the 21st century, these things were only kept in a place called museum. During the Great Sun Explosion Calamity, father gathered the most of the important one here and called these as treasures of the past. Most of these books are about history. Since kid, I always ask questions about our world but my parents never taught me anything about it and forbade others to talk about it also. But during this year birthday, they decide to let me find out from these books. Father told me not to practice any other skills and only to read all these books for the following year. He asks me to learn as much as possible and only after I finish absorbing all I can, I was allowed to do other things. After telling all these, they left to cyrosleep and told me that they will meet me for my next birthday. I expect nothing in the beginning and puzzled by my parents' action, but once I started to read these books, I gains large amount of information, more than what I learnt during 18 years of my life. I learn about the ancient civilization, world wars, great world wars, about countries and cultures existed in the old world, I learnt about earth, space and father even write about the Great Sun Explosion and events happened following it and how we humans ended up in this shelter. These books were amazing is the only thought I had. Soon a year passed and my 19th birthday I meet my parents again. When we meet my father asked me "Iraos, did you find these books to useful?" "yes father, these books are worthy to be called as treasures, they were amazing." I'm happy to hear my son. These books taught you knowledge and events of the past but today I'm going to tell you about the events that happens after we entered the shelter and what we as your parents expecting from you and hoping for your future. ". "father, mother, if I can do something that can make you happy or can make us 3 stays together forever, I will do it without second thought." "thank you, son, come follow to research lab." During on the way to lab, father told me about the Dimensional Gate, and events that follow after that and eve about my birth and how special I am. Soon we reached the lab and father showed me a spear, "son, this spear belongs to the lizardmen leader and it's a magical weapon but we can't wield it now since we are low levelled. I want to gift this to you for your birthday this year. Practice it well. I want to show you the corpse of the lizardmen but they were disappeared mysteriously few years after they died. Iraos, your name means hero in Greek language, we named you as such so that you can lead humanity 1 day. Make a place for humanity to leave in peace in the new world. That's is our hope but your life is your own, you can choose to stay here and we will not criticise you. You can make you own choice. You no need to make the choice now. You still have time. Next year, year 2376 marked the 50th year since all adult went to new world. I promised them I will open again the gate next year but I will not open until year 2377 for some security reason. You can answer then what you want to do". "father, mother, there is nothing to think to. I decided ready. I will march into the new world and make it a better place for humans to live so we 3 can stay together forever". "I'm happy to hear son, try combating against soldiers, AI defence system, work hard son. We do not wish to see any harm come in your way but you are our only hope. The New world is cruel, merciless place. We will spend around a week during your next 20th birthday and after that you will be on your journey."
