Chapter 15 - The Corruption of Humanity: Final Part

Star: He reappeared back inside the central park of the city, letting Aiden down gently. "It's okay kiddo, I just have to recharge a bit before teleporting us further away-" He was suddenly cut off but a bunch of bystanders screaming at the two of them. 

Bystanders: The crowd was screaming a variety of phrases at them, and as more people joined in, the noise escalated. "Nobody wants you here!" "Monsters!" "We don't need any abominations like you to help us!" "False hero!" Their insults grew louder as they marched closer to the two, with some people even throwing objects. Star tried to shield Aiden from anything that might come close to hitting him.

Aiden: He began to shiver, scared and overwhelmed by the amount of screaming. "Star, make them stop please I don't want to be here, please make them stop."

Star: His eyes widened, sensing Aiden's fear from within him. He quickly stood up and in a pit of rage, he screamed out at the crowd. "ENOUGH!" Suddenly all of them were frozen in place, unable to move or speak.

"You all shame us for not being like the rest of you, thinking you should be afraid of us when you don't even understand what we are!" He took a step forward towards the crowd, his energy shaking the earth beneath him. "You all start wars over territory, fight amongst each other for being different in the slightest way, and then you try to destroy whatever you don't understand!"

His hand balled into a fist, "I thought you all would be worth protecting, but all of you only care about yourselves! I have only been alive for no more than a week and humanity is by far the most corrupted species I have ever seen! If you do want any of our help then who am I to go against your free will, who am I to try and fight for those who don't even want me around?!"

He took a deep breath in, looking deep into the people's eyes, "But I am a man of great spirit and pure purpose, If you call out my name I will come to your calls to aid you, I will not let you all die in the dark! But for now, we will leave." He placed his hand on Aiden's shoulder, teleporting the two of them off the planet, placing the two of them on a small stone platform in the deep abyss of space.

Aiden: He was blinded by a bright light for a moment, but when his eyes adjusted he saw a large white star before them with a giant white beam of light shooting out from the bottom and top. "What is that?..."

Star: "When I first woke up, I noticed that there was a large beam of light, when I followed it led me to this spot here. I figured I could morph the main star part of it into solid earth material and we could make a world just for people like us." He rubbed his hand on Aiden's ghastly hair, making it all messy.

Aiden: He giggled a bit, looking back at the star and then at him, "What will you name your wonderful world Star?"

Star: He stared at the ball of energy and light for a moment, "I think I will name it...Availion, in the Oldric tongue it means 'hope'. That is what our world will represent, it will bring hope to those who do not have a place to call home."

Aiden: He smiled, feeling a burning flame of faith within his body, "That is a wonderful name Star."

Star: He held out his hands towards the giant ball of white fire, the void of space shook around them as he began to absorb the white energy into his arms. A dirt floor began to form where the white flame used to reside, the only thing that was left of the past was the giant beam of light shooting through the top and bottom of the planet. He was panting after, feeling a sense of pride in his work, "It may not look like much for now, but once we go down there and start to form some life on this dirt rock, it will look glorious."

Aiden: "I bet it will Star, can I help you create some of the stuff? I can chip in ideas for certain areas of interest and such!" His eyes sparkled with excitement.

Star: He laughed, "Of course, you can buddy, I will leave some of the tasks up to you while I try to find people who would want to live in this glorious world and help us with our little quest. Maybe soon you'll get to meet a couple of my new friends."

Aiden: "That sounds perfect Star, I will not disappoint you!"

Star: He pat Aiden on the head, looking toward the newly formed world. "I know you won't buddy, I know you won't."
