Chapter 1 - Awaited Reunion

"It really warms my heart for all of you here to arrive and attend our reunion!"

"After almost 10 long years of all of us not meeting each other. The arrival of you here, with not a single one missing is touching" Spoken by a Redheaded woman, in front of a crowd numbering a little over 30.

"Our careers have all journeyed to different paths. But even then we still haven't forgotten our roots as friends and classmates!"

"I'd love to talk with each single one of you in person to see how far we have all soared. But that can wait for later! Now we have fun and celebrate our long awaited reunion! So everyone spread out so that we can talk and catch up with eachother!"

As soon as the small speech finished, the hall erupted in claps and cheers.

In the side sat a long table surrounded by more than a dozen guys and couple girls talking and speaking with one another.

Asked by a tanned woman named Sophia with slight caution "So Gav. how and what prompted you to end up in the army rangers?"

"I got signed up by a instructor, while drunk.... " After hearing what he said, and as the people in the table understood it, laughs and consolations erupted from the crowd to address Gavins misfortune.

"Well good thing you came out alive and well" Said by Sophia in a enthusiastic tone

"dying in a foreign country would be agonizing for a persons last moments" now with a solemn tone

"trust me, I know. I'm a doctor and seeing a patient die is not a great experience"

"Although I was deployed overseas, I wasn't really in danger. My company did go on frequent patrols in rebellious territories, but other than that not much"

Gavin addressed in a slightly embarrassed tone

"And yeah, seeing someone die isn't a great experience."

"Now I'm back home, I'm stuck to a desk job that brings wonder to my back"

"how about you Lucius? Last I heard you worked in the Pontevedra Industries? Doesn't that mean you're a mechanical engineer now? You entered as a Civil engineer if I remember"

Gavin mentioned trying to redirect the topic to a new one from the solemn atmosphere

"Yeah. I changed my career path after I really didn't feel like civil engineering was my stuff. Now with my experience and education I got myself a comfy lifestyle, heck I even have a small mechanic shop. Lifes been good if you ask me"

Lucius stated in a cheery and enthusiastic way, like a person that had it all running well when born.

"Thats great! With you in town I can have a nice discount to fix my truck"

Said by a chubby and beardy man that didn't fit the group of people who looked polished, and groomed neatly

"My pick-up has been taking a beating after a decade of driving around the province taking job offers"

"You still do construction work Daniel? And sure, I can do it for you"

"yeah I've been doing that, but became a subcontractor, I like my freedom. If you also wanna buy new furniture u can also ask me I don't just do construction."

"Great, just visit me at my grandparents house to take a look at it"

After that was said, the noise of people chatting and catching up with one another then took up the entire table.

After a couple of hours having fun and talking with one another, a persons phone rang amidst the hall. It was Lucius's. As he got out of the hall and talked to the phone. A grave news was then relayed to him that prompted him to head inside the hall frantically.

"Julius, Roel. I'll head out first something happened and my mom asked me to headback quick"

"I'll talk with you guys tomorrow"

"Sure, we'll catch up tomorrow" answered Roel

"Drive safe and goodluck luc" replied Julius

"see you guys later" said lucius as he ran to his bike. ut as he got to the door, he was confronted by Isiah. The Redheaded woman who made the small speech.

"Whats wrong luc?"

"something happened and I need to get to the hospital quick, sorry for leaving early Isiah"

"Its fine, you're only gonna miss some kind of artifact George found from his latest expedition"

"Tell him I'm sorry. But other than that. I have to go."

He uttered a small prayer and then got on His motorcycle and drove off, as he rode on. He heard Isiahs yell that sounded more like a plea to drive safe.

Meanwhile in the hall, George showed off the tablet he and his team found in an archeological site. Where he claimed that it might even be the real tablets that God gave to Moses. Different from the tablets known around the world as two stone tablets. Instead the one he showed and revealed was a tablet made of some kind of alloy or metal, a metal which he explained as much more advanced than what humans can create or find in the universe.

"There are a bunch of runes on the sides of these tablets, though you people might doubt if this is really true. But from the dating and the location of where these tablets were found, along with the same words that can be found in the same stone 10 commandments. This is the real one possibly given by God to Moses." excitedly explained by George to those who was willing

And as George took a short break after explaining the origins of the two Metal tablets, a question arose from the ones listening. "Well, the tablets given to Moses by God was also smashed by him, so he had to chisel a new one." someone said among the listeners.

"well yes. But the location this tablet was found is in a cave deep deep down mount Sinai, where there was lush greenery, and a lake surrounding an altar containing these tablets"

Answered George, but as he answered. He accidentally bumped the two tablets together that created a bell like sound that was much much more high pitched than a normal bell, that loudly rang in the hall. "sorry about that, I forgot to mention it does that sound... Haha" apologized George to the crowd.

As the sound dispersed a light then suddenly appeared in the night sky, which those in the halls were unaware to.

As Lucius drove on his bike at highspeed, he saw on his side mirror something shining

'A shooting star? Then I hope it answers my wishes'

He thought, and as time went on. He noticed that the shooting star was becoming brighter and even bigger, until the light of the star engulfed his view.

In an act of irony. The alleged shooting star did the opposite of what Lucius wanted. He found himself in unknown lands and a climate that didn't match the season. Infront of him stood an altar containing two crystal tablets. And words and letters that were unfamiliar to the ones he knew. Then a light so bright appeared behind him that it formed a shadow infront of him. As he looked back, he noticed a box.

To his surprise, the box contained his hiking, camping, and some books he liked, and even his hunting equipment.

'I can't panic now. I just have to remember what my grandpa tought me'

He thought in his mind as he tried to calm down. But he couldn't, as he hyperventilated he tried his best to calm down and think logically

'I didn't get to say my last goodbye...'

After calming down and processing the severity of his situation, he started to be overcome with dread as he lamented, he understood that now he was alone and had to survive on his own, and try to return to civilization.

But as he lamented his situation, more bright lights appeared and after the bright lights disappeared, arrived people. People he knew.
