As Isiah and Lucius talked with one another, with Lucius briefing Isiah of the gravity of their situation. As they walked they noticed eleven people at the same time wake up, most of them Lucius knew except for one woman that he was unfamiliar with. Then he turned to Isiah and asked a question.
"Isiah, do you see that woman? Right behind julius?"
"Yeah? Why?"
"I don't remember her. Was she part of the reunion?" asked curiously by Lucius. "You don't know? Its Ava. Julius's fiance, with the three of you, julius and roel being best of friends back in highschool, its weird that you aren't aware of who his fiance is." replied Isiah looking at Lucius with a skeptical face.
"don't give me that look. I talk with the boys in a monthly bases, and julius hasn't mentioned about any fiances yet. Anyhow, let's make our way to them from their looks alone, they're confused"
As the duo moved towards where their former classmates and friends were located. They waved their arms about in the air trying to catch the attention of the group of people, the efforts they did weren't for naught. As then not long after. Gavin noticed their presence and proceeded to yell at them from afar.
"Lucius, Isiah?!" as Gavin shouted at the duos general location, the rest of the group looked and saw the couple nod and head to their direction. "Its Lucius and Isiah everyone, maybe they know and can explain to what's happening" Gavin mentioned to the group. "You saw them from that far Gav? I can barely make their faces from this far." Daniel asked with hint of amazement at Gavins impeccable eyesight.
As Isiah and Lucius met-up in the middle with the group of eleven people. Immediately after seeing eachother again, Arielle a chubby tanned man asked the duo a question. "Lucs, Isiah. Do you know what happened and where we are? All I remembered was talking with Rafael, then we saw a blinding light from the windows outside the building the reunion was held at, and a weird dream that woke me up after." he said in a confused state to which not long after, Rafael relieved Arielle. "Exactly as Arielle said, especially the climate that doesn't match the season at all. Last I checked it was mid November, snow had even started falling. Now its as if we're in spring!" voiced out by Rafael with a bewildered voice and expression
"Yeah... Well as you can see we're in a different place, far away from any hint of civilization. One thing I can deduct from this is that it seems all of you here had the same experience of a weird dream that woke you up soon after." Answered Lucius in a grave voice that ever so slightly quivered. "I'll also add that you guys have been asleep for two whole weeks now. Isiah waking up just thirty minutes earlier than you guys have. We should probably go back near the altar to open the boxes that was behind each and one of you when you woke up. It'll contain some supplies that'd help us all." asked Lucius of them.
As they returned near the altar, helping the new comers in retrieving their items from the boxes. Ryleigh a lean man that asked Lucius amid the chatter about the mysterious altar where by its side stood two hooded statue that looked hinting as if it was guarding something. "Lucs, do you know something about that altar? Those two statues give off the feeling of being alive..." a question that Lucius replied in a joking manner. "oh I'd bet my left balls that their alive haha." to which he continued in a much more serious way "In all seriousness though. If we all had to take a guess, it'd would have something to do with those two tablets their surrounding. Those tablets are probably the reason why we're here..."
"I Knew it, just looking at that area gives me goosebumps" Replied Ryleigh after hearing Lucius agree with him.
"wanna know something scary? If you thought those statues originally came with the altar then let me inform you that they only appeared after I tried touching the crystal tablets." responded Lucius in a blank state. "don't try and getting close to them. Who knows what might happen." warning them of the danger.
After Lucius revealed the nature of the tablets and statues, the group now became more alert. Cautious around the area, afraid of disturbing any beings with higher power.
Eventually the group arrived to the spot where they all woke up. To which Julius asked a question to Lucius. "Lucs, haven't you tried waking anyone up? Or atleast opening the boxes?" he wondered.
"I tried. But no matter how much I tried I couldn't even touch a single strand of hair on any of you guys. As if there was a force preventing me, I also tried opening the boxes. Even tried lockpicking them, and still no good."
"Sounds like some supernatural is involved in this..." added Roel
After they all got their respective items from the boxes, they all gathered around letting their group know of what was in their respective boxes.
"A box containing packets of seeds. Lots of kinds, there's corn, wheat, barley, even rice. And that's just the surface area. Some books about agriculture, my fishing rod. And my guns? My hunting rifle, model 870, and even my s&w model 25-5?! With 5 boxes of munitions for each of them too." voiced roel with amazement.
"I got my M4 my rucksack. Several walkie talkies ranges probably 3-5 miles, and some books regarding military tactics and strategies, with the training stuff, some MREs and ammunitions. Oh also my pistol an axe and a knife" mentioned Gavin
"All I got are books and some materials axe, a knife and my laboratory protection equipment" mentioned Arielle.
"eyy me too, books about engineering, some blueprints. Then most my Smithing equipment." added Ryleigh.
"just books, learning materials, axe and knife that's all..." said Rafael with a dejected voice
"same for me here Raffy, I have my switch though, along with some games I quite like. Also It seems as if what we get in the boxes corresponds to our hobbies or expertise." consoled Julius to Rafael. "what about you Ava? What did you get?"
"oh just some ingredients, spices, salt. Ingredients for cooking. Along with cloth, clothes, strings, and my sewing kit."
"I got some lightbulbs. And pretty much anything regarding being a technician, thing is half of these I don't know how to use. Luc, maybe you can help with these? I can repair assemble stuff. But creation isn't my Forte. But I bet with proper plan we can probably create a small water wheel and possibly try to create electricity here. What do you think luc?" asked Jericho
"Great plan Jericho, I can design the project. With Daniels help we might be able to do it."
"Yeah I can help with that. I got a lot of stuff regarding construction, some nails that are gonna be Hella helpful. Some tools even for my wood working side projects. And a couple weird tools thing." Daniel replied in agreement.
"Those are actually primitive drills. Pump, archimedes, and I believe that one is a brace drill. All of those are drills." Lucius answered Daniel's question.
"You guys already know I'm a doctor so you can take a guess of what I go and if any of you gets sick or hurt just ask me!" Said Sophia being optimistic.
"I noticed that everyone, regardless of occupation at the least has an axe and a knife" mentioned Isiah
"Great. So I take it we're all ready to go?"
The group of people then simultaneously agreed, as they made their way over to Lucius's encampment while briefing them of what he experienced over the past two weeks. Isiah consoled Lucius. "Must've been rough, wished we woke up sooner to help you out."
"Oh everythings good. Good thing I'm not alone now haha." Replied Lucius. "I forgot to mention that there's probably magic or something here. You all felt it right? Enhanced senses, more alert, more energetic? Hell, now I can start a fire with my finger. And even block people's or animals vision." Lucius added, soon after he saw their faces of doubt and disbelief.
"Don't believe me? I'll demonstrate it to you guys when we arrive at my camp." Lucius said with a smug tone.
