In a hospital room, Edward Rosewood slowly opens his eyes, his vision blurred from the aftermath of a fateful accident on his way back home from a night celebration party—an event that reminds him of the fragility of life, much like the tragic loss of his parents when he was just seven years old— Despite this early hardship, he finds solace in the care of his kindhearted Grandfather, who became a pillar of support and love in his life.
Growing up in the enchanting city of Edinburgh, Scotland, Edward's curious mind thrived amidst the rich history, captivating legends, and mystical aura of his surroundings. His love for science ignited like a flame within him, yearning to understand the inner workings of the universe. The giant fiery ball in the sky, The Sun, held a special place in his heart and captured his fascination, inspiring him to unravel its secrets.
As Edward was adjusting his eyes with suddent light entering his eyes, the hospital room's door creaked open, and a nurse entered the room to check on his condition. Sensing his consciousness returning, she smiled warmly and said, "You're awake! Let me go inform the doctor right away." With that, she hurriedly left the room, leaving Edward to wait for the doctor to come and see him.
Moments later, the door swung open once again, and a doctor entered the room, his eyes filled with both curiosity and concern. Locking gazes with Edward, he spoke in a reassuring tone, "Edward, it's good to see you awake. How are you feeling?"
Edward blinked, trying to gather his thoughts. The throbbing pain in his head made it difficult to focus, but he managed a weak smile. "I feel a bit disoriented, but I think I'll be alright," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "What happened? How did I end up here?"
The doctor pulled up a chair beside Edward's bed, his expression compassionate "You were in an accident, Edward," he explained gently. "There was a collision on the road, and you were injured. But you're in the hospital now, and we've been monitoring your progress closely."
Edward's brows furrowed as he tried to recall the events leading up to the accident. Fragments of memories swirled in his mind, mixed with flashes of darkness. "I... I don't remember much," he admitted, a touch of frustration in his voice. "But why does everything feel different? It's like the world has changed somehow."
The doctor nodded understandingly, adjusting his glasses. "In the past couple of days, something extraordinary has occurred, Edward," he revealed, his voice filled with a mix of awe and intrigue. "The world around us is undergoing a transformation—a process of evolution People's lives are being touched by incredible powers and abilities, linked to their own unique qualities and desires."
Edward's eyes widened with curiosity, his earlier disorientation momentarily forgotten. "Powers? Abilities? What do you mean?" he asked, his voice tinged with a mix of excitement and apprehension.
The doctor leaned closer, his tone lowering as he divulged the astonishing truth. "Edward, it appears that individuals are awakening extraordinary capabilities tied to their passions, strengths, and even their very essence," he explained. "It's as if the evolution of the world has unlocked hidden potential within each person, granting them abilities beyond the ordinary."
Edward's mind raced with possibilities, his heart beating faster with a newfound sense of intrigue. "And... what about me?" he ventured, his voice trembling with anticipation.
The doctor's eyes held a spark of curiosity as he observed Edward. "We've been monitoring your condition closely, and there's something remarkable about you, Edward," he revealed, a hint of wonder in his voice. "Your awakening seems to be connected to the power of the sun itself"
Edward's gaze turned introspective, his thoughts swirling with the implications of this revelation. The power of the sun—a source of light, energy, and life. It resonated with his own longing for understanding and exploration. Could this newfound awakening offer him a path to unlock the mysteries of the universe he had always yearned to unravel?
Edward, captivated by the doctor's words, couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "But how do you know about my power?" he inquired, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and intrigue.
With a knowing smile, the doctor motioned for Edward to remove his shirt. "the manifestation of these powers comes in the form of unique tattoos," he explained. As he signals Edward to the mirror.
As Edward hesitantly revealed his bare back in front of a mirror, he gasped in astonishment. Staring back at him was a blazing sun, intricately tattooed on his skin. Its radiant rays seemed to dance with an inner fire, mirroring the power that stirred within him.
The doctor stepped closer, revealing his own tattoo—a symbol of his connection to the evolving world. Gently extending his palm, he displayed a striking tattoo of intertwined serpents, representing healing and transformation.
"You see, Edward, I have my own connection to this newfound world," the doctor explained. "My tattoo signifies the healing power I possess, enabling me to aid those who embark on this extraordinary journey."
The doctor proceeded to conduct a thorough examination of Edward, ensuring that his physical condition was stable after the accident. He checked his vital signs, reflexes, and cognitive functions, all the while engaging in a conversation about the evolving world and the powers that had awoken within individuals.
Satisfied with the examination, the doctor stepped back, a look of reassurance in his eyes. "Edward, it seems that you're recovering well, both physically and now with your newfound abilities," he remarked. "Remember, these powers come with great responsibility. Use them wisely, and always be aware of the impact they can have on both yourself and others."
Edward nodded, a mixture of gratitude and determination in his expression. "Thank you, Doctor. I understand" he replied earnestly. "I will do my best to embrace this newfound path and make a positive difference in this evolving world."
As their conversation drew to a close, the doctor reassured Edward that he would be closely monitoring his progress, ready to offer guidance and support whenever needed. With a final encouraging nod, the doctor made his way towards the door.
Edward watched as the doctor exited the room, a mix of emotions coursing through his veins—excitement, trepidation, and an unwavering determination to embrace this extraordinary path that lay before him.
After bidding farewell to Edward, the doctor made his way to his office, where he knew he would find Edward's grandfather, Arthur Rosewood. As he entered the office, he was greeted by the sight of Arthur sitting behind his desk, engrossed in a book.
"Arthur," the doctor greeted warmly, his voice filled with genuine fondness. "It's good to see you again."
Arthur glanced up, a sense of recognition lighting up his eyes. "James," he responded, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I never expected our paths to cross again. It's been too long."
They shared a brief moment of silence, acknowledging the passage of time and the shared history they carried. The doctor, James Dalton, had been a close friend of Arthur's late son, and their connection ran deep.
"I remember the bond you shared with Thomas," James spoke with heartfelt sincerity. "He was like a brother to me, and his memory still holds a special place in my heart."
"How's Edward doing, James? Is he going to be okay?" Arthur asked, concern evident in his voice.
The doctor met Arthur's gaze and offered reassurance. "Don't worry, Arthur. Edward is recovering well physically, and he's in good hands," he replied with confidence.
Arthur, his curiosity piqued, leaned forward and asked, "What about Edward's abilities, doctor? Is there something more to his condition?"
As Arthur posed his question, a subtle change overcame the doctor's expression. His eyes, once calm and compassionate, underwent a mesmerizing transformation, shifting into serpentine shapes that glimmered with an otherworldly luminescence. The serpents seemed to coil and dance within his gaze, an enigmatic sign of the hidden knowledge he possessed.
Without flinching, the doctor began to speak, his voice carrying an air of mystique that matched his altered appearance. "Arthur, Edward's abilities are remarkable, yet tempered in their nature," he began, his words laden with a profound weight. "The Awakening within him is connected to the essence of the sun, granting him a unique affinity for light and energy."
Arthur's eyes widened, captivated by the doctor's words and the mesmerizing sight of his serpentine eyes. It was as if the doctor himself embodied ancient wisdom, a conduit to a world beyond the ordinary.
The doctor continued, his voice resonating with both caution and awe. "Edward possesses the ability to manipulate light, summoning its radiance to illuminate even the darkest of shadows. He can create gentle warmth or project focused beams of light for various purposes. It is a gift that calls for responsibility and careful development."
Arthur listened intently, his mind filled with wonder and a newfound understanding of Edward's extraordinary gift. The presence of the doctor's serpentine eyes emphasized the depth of this hidden realm of possibilities.
"As Edward's guardian and guide, it is our duty to help him understand and master his abilities," the doctor concluded, his serpentine eyes gradually returning to their natural state. "Together, we must nurture his connection to the sun and guide him to wield its power responsibly, for the benefit of himself and those around him."
Arthur nodded, a mix of reverence and concern etched on his face. The revelations about Edward's abilities and the doctor's serpentine eyes had opened their eyes to the extraordinary path that lay before them. They now embarked on a journey of discovery, where the boundaries between the ordinary and extraordinary would blur, and Edward's unique powers would be cultivated. With a renewed sense of purpose, Arthur pledged his unwavering support to Edward, while the doctor, his eyes returning to their usual compassionate gaze, offered his expertise and guidance. Together, they would navigate the mysteries of Edward's abilities, embracing the enigmatic power that dwelled within him, and ensuring that he wielded it responsibly in the evolving world.
