Chapter 2 - Memories of a lost son

Darkness...

Pitch black darkness, Which continued for what seems to be an eternity.

Inside that Darkness, there was only one thing that is present.

It was a body,

Which was floating, in midair. The body however is unfroze, Or it seems it's haven't notice the eternal void. The eyes of the body capt close.

After a while later, the eyes of the figure started flickering. But again return to its original state.

A moment later, it again started flickering, but this time it opened, revealing a crystal blue eyes.

After opening and closing his eyes for a bit, the figure started grasping the surroundings near him.

A sudden confusion crossed his mind and face.

'Where am i?' He asked, but no sound came out, it only resound and stayed in his mind.

Feeling he cant talk he started to look around and found himself floating, inside that dark void.

'What is this?... how long have i been here?' he asked, but got no answers.

Strings of thoughts began crossing his mind, but only one question stood up.

'Who am i?'

The figure started thinking but again no answers to his questions.

When he was busy thinking a flash of light crossed the entire area, startle the figure in the process.

Looking at the direction of the light, the figure saw nothing.

'What was that?... was it my imagination?' he asked. But like before no answer.

But when he was thinking about the sudden flash, the same flash again crossed the area and disappeared behind his back.

'Again?'

This time the figure is confused, he started at the place and saw nothing, But seeing nothing he again turn around and looked at the place where the flash come from.

But nothing.

He again got confused.

The flash again return, but this time something happened.

When the figure turn around his face frown, In front of him, was a small ball of white light. Which was floating like him.

'What is that?' Being curious the figure asked. But again no answer.

But seeing no one's here beside him, he stopped asking questions. and looked at the floating ball.

It was made of something white, which is glowing in a faint light. The spare however is transparent.

But looking at the spare the figure's expression stiffen, Like he is looking at himself.

It was a weird feeling, which cant be describe in wards.

But when was busy looking at the spare, a small flash of light emerge from the darkness and ran across the entire area before quickly entering the small orb.

Although the figure don't notice the flash, he saw the flash entering the orb, which made him startle and backed off.

'What?...'

After entering the orb, the figure felt a slight tingling sensation all over his body. Before he could think of something, he felt all of his body senses returning to him.

He can feel his body which was not possible before, Then he notice his ears started working, A sound of chattering can be heard.

His eyes however stayed unfroze, it was working before, and that haven't changed. But for some reason, his eyes feel heavy, like something is covering it.

It haven't take time for him to realize it was his eye sleds.

--

Slowly opening my blurry eyes i looked at the seen before me.

It was a sealing, a white sealing.

Slowly turning my head i looked at my surroundings, I am inside a room. It was not big nor small, a decent room for living i would say.

I am currently lying on the only bed present in the room. The bed is coated with a white clothing.

Beside the bed there was a dower with a desk connected with it, beside the desk there was a place for some books.

Other side of the bookshelf there is the door of the room.

Other side of the bed there was a shelf where some stuffs like a photo frame and two thick books present. Underneath the shelf however there was an unusual thing.

A Sword, Katana to be prociest.

Beside the shelf and the sword, there is a wardrobe, where some pieces of fabric is peaking out.

After looking around I prepare to got up. But when i was about to do so, a serge of pain ran through my head.

Like someone is hammering my head with some needles. Although the pain is bearable, I loose control and almost fall on the bed again.

I grabbed my head with one arm and another to support me got up. Sitting on my bed i close my eyes.

The pain lasted for about five minutes before slowing down.

"Argh... What was that?" I asked

But no answer, no ones else is present beside me in this room.

After calming down i look around to found somebody, Seeing no one in the vicinity, i got up with a slight spin in my head.

With tumbling legs i somehow manage to walk to the door and open it.

Opening the door i was presented with a small corridor with three doors beside the door i got out.

On the end of the corridor there was a staircase leading downstairs.

But before i go there i make sure that no ones in the room, beside mine.

After a couple of knocking no ones answer from behind the doors.

Turning around to face the staircase i walk towards it.

Climbing down i reach another hallway, leading various places of the house.

But looking around the hallway, i felt something, It was nostalgia. Like i have been to this place before but cant seems to be remember it.

The more i look at the place the more the sensation last.

"..."

But while i was looking, I heard some noise coming form the door in the end of the hallway taking me out form my stupor.

"Is someone there?" I said before i walk to the door.

But i stopped, and decide to peak around first. If the people ware someone who would started attacking me out of nowhere, it would be problematic.

'Just one peak'

But the expression suddenly change when i heard a voice. a familiar and nostalgia ran through my mind.

My body started acting on its own, I can feel my body slowly walking to the door and standing while looking at the people inside the room.

Inside there 3 people can be seen. Two are a middle age man and a women, and another is a girl.

The couple is talking with etch other, and the girl is sitting on a chair facing her back to the door.

I just keep on standing there without saying anything, I don't know what kind of expression i am making right now, but i can tell that its something heavy.

Feeling a gaze the couple looked at the direction of the door, and there gaze meet mine before smiling.

"Oh son you are up, come here brake first is ready" The middle age women said with a warm smile.

"..." But nothing came out from my mouth, i just keep on looking at them, with a blank expression.

'Why are they so familiar, what is happening?... why my heart is feeling heavy all of a sudden?' strings of questions started popping out from my mind.

I am too confused to even think properly, i just blackly stared at them without saying anything.

A moment late when the women saw that i am not coming and looking at them with a blank expression.

"Son are you ok?" She asked with a concern look.

But i stayed the same, like nothing is entering my ears. But the next second, i felt my body moving again.

I walk to the women and hugged her, Because of my height, i am almost the same level as her.

Seeing my hugging the women was surprise for a moment but, quickly calm down, and looked at me before patting my head.

It's a warm feeling, And my heart is also loosen a bit.

Seen after feeling the warm of her hand, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my chicks. Water started to fall from my cheeks and close my eyes and started crying.

The women however just keep on patting my head without asking anything. She was shocked for a moment, but soon she control herself and take me to her embrace.

Time passed, a while latter, i let go of her, with a slight fluster look. She however looked at me with a warm smile, and made me sit on a chair.

"Now son can you tell be what happened?... did you have a nightmare?" The women asked.

"..."

But i stayed silent, without knowing what to tell.

After opening and closing my mouth for a couple of times, i said.

"I... I don't know"

"?"

Seeing a confused look on there faces, i again open my mouth and said.

"I... don't know, I know nothing, i just woke up inside one of the room upstairs. I don't know what happened before that... I... I" I stopped midway and looked down like i have done something bad.

Amidst of that i take a peak to look at the people in the room. All of them are looking at me with a confused and worried look.

"Son what are you talking about?" The women asked with a worried face.

"..." I stayed silent

"Do you really not know anything?" This time the middle age man asked.

I was startle for a moment but i control myself and shook my head.

The man looked at me for a while then he interlock his fingers and rest his head on it. A worried and confused look can be seen on his face.

And silence covered the whole room.

Growl-

Taking everyone out from the silence was my stomach. Which was seeking for food.

Seeing that the women's face lit up.

"Let's eat first, we will talk about this after eating"

--

Later that day, After i finish eating and taking with the people for a bit, I gone back to the room that i woke up.

Apparently the room that i woke up is mine.

My name is Arce Black. And the house has four people including me. Me my parents and my sister.

I lived inside a ruling city called Orna, which is situated at the northern area of The Humilia capital called Areas.

This world is called earth, although it was before the calamity a couple of thousands years ago, but after the calamity, the world is called Ather.

The continents count on this planet is 3 and those are surrounded by many small islands and ocean.

Ather has two main races, One is humans and other are called Astrals, which came from another planet.

Humans lived on Humilia continent, and Astrals lived in a continent called Astria. And the third one is called Hell.

Because it's a continent where wild beast reside and most of the places are unknown wilderness. Because of the risk humans and astral's rarely go there.

They came to Ather when their home planet got attack by an unknown race. Humans extended there hands to the Astrals and gave them one of the continent for living.

and in exchange they have given humans their extraordinary technology, which was frozen dew to Talents being replace science.

Talents is a power that exist from ancient times, It first started appearing after the calamity. It grants humans extraordinary powers like, Speed, strength, ability to manipulate elements, Even time itself.

After taking a talent test at a age of 15 people have to go to an academy to further nourish there talent.

In present there are 20 academy's reside in the Humilia continent.

Looking at the thing in my hand i turn to my bed.

Placing the thing on the bed i also got on it and started looking at the object.

It was a album.

Various types of photos including me neatly place inside the album. It's given by my mother, who is called Samantha Black.

Unknowingly to Arce, a farm smile appeared on his face.

--

As Arce flipping through his album, there was only darkness in the Black void.

Inside was a transparent White spare that glowed slightly.

Beside it there was another white orb which was not there before. It stayed there for a moment before it flew inside the transparent orb Making it's glow brighten, Before turning back at its original form.
