Chapter 8 - Whirlwind

I found myself walking through the ruins with my family, the broken down construction of long gone civilizations spread all around us.

Father and I met eyes, he waved me over, following him, he got into our jeep I got into the passenger seat as he started the car.

"Takashi, there are some things I would like to show you" He said looking me in the eye. "Some of it may be confusing but, its important for you to know these things"

I just nodded my head, as he drove forwards along the road, up the mountain.

We were already fairly close to the peak, it looked like it was just a few miles up to the top, suddenly the car turns of the road, driving straight up the mountain!

"What the heck! Where are we going? why are you going straight up the mountain??!?" I can't help but yell at him, even I can drive better than this.

Father did not respond, he just glanced at me and grinned.

I remember this feeling, of bumping around driving off the road on the edge of a mountain, it reminds me of several dreams I have had before, and while we have never crashed in those dreams there have been some close calls, and I always feel really anxious during the entire drive, which is an odd feeling as I do not feel anxious in real life.

Soon we reached the summit, usually in dreams like this, we will find a nice sweet spot at this point and I will feel fine again.

However, we kept going past the summit, and down the other side, causing my anxiety to spike back up, luckily we soon came to a stop on the other side, as we came to a road, it looked just like a hill I have driven on before, on my way to school.

Down the hill is the largest whirlwind I have ever seen, it neared being a full blown tornado, getting out, Father walked down the road towards the whirlwind, I, reluctantly following him.

"Son, there are many outstanding things in this world, today, I am going to teach you about something I feel you should know" Turning back to look at me, Father continued walked over, putting a mechanical watch on my wrist, and a small arm band attached to some sort of blue screen.

"The watch we will talk about later, the screen is a invention created by ***** ********* it takes light and converges it at a single point, before shooting out as a tangible thing, being made of light, it still follows the rules of light, while it is tangible, it can go through anything that light can go through, it will also be reflected by mirrors."

Noticing the same device on Fathers wrist I watch as he uses the devise to converge at a point in the center of the screen, before going straight out as some sort of blue string, except instead of falling like you would expect a string to do, this blue string like light, went out in a line, it then wiped around, even move the the ground and wrapping around a boulder, picking it up.

"The devise is connected to you, so you simple have to Will it to do what you want, for now we will practice this"

It took ages to get it right, and even longer to get procession, to practice, for one of the harder practice methods, I had to try and take off a school girls panties without her noticing, which was really freaking difficult, as you both had to distract her enough that you could even attempt anything, and then you had to fling out the light, up under her skirt, wrap it around the edge and pull them off.

At first I thought it was really stupid and was just perverted, but after being able to do that, I found that I had a lot of control over it, and finally Father said I was good enough to move on to the watch.

"Its not just an ordinary watch, some people wanted to make a watch that was always 100% correct, so they made this watch, and connected it to the flow of time, they ended up creating lots of chaos as they when they connected it to the flow of time, the clock spun up from 0 to the current date, which as it turns out, was around 6 thousand years, way less then everyone thought" Pointing at the edge of the watch where a dial was he continued "This is an adjustment dial, at first people thought that since the watch was connected to the flow of time, if they moved the dial forwards or backwards they could time travel, however no one was ever able to move the dial."

"As it turns out you need a little trick to move it, while it is impossible to move the dial normally, if you are in the center of a large wind storm, like say a tornado, then you can move the dial. Not sure why but you can"

At this point I woke up, I know that there is more that happened at the beginning in the ruins, however I can't remember what happened.
