Elliot felt conscious again.Elliot's eyes were closed. He felt himself on the rocky ground. He felt his whole body. He was in one piece and couldn't believe he was still alive. He decided he was going to open his eyes any moment now in three…two…one. He stood up and looked up with a wide smile which faded instantly.He found himself in void as if underwater. He was on a rocky landscape and there were 'floating' rocks. The next thing that came to his mind was 'am I dead?'. Then,a face formed from the void and it was as big as the Rocky landscape. Elliot froze."Elliot comet I am Sistus Mecalori, a star constellation. Do not be afraid, you are not dead but in your state of mind," Sistus' voice echoed through the void . Elliot was a bit relieved by that statement.Elliot took the courage to speak."So, why am I here?" Elliot asked. "You are here because you are a scientia, you were chosen. Use your abilities wisely and you can accomplish great things. There will be people who will help you along the way but there will be certain things that will happen and it's up to you to stop it else it will have catastrophic consequences," said Sistus."What?" Elliot said confused."I might not tell you everything now, it's left for you to find out. The universe is unpredictable and mysterious. Remember this, Elliot. The fate of the Alienates rests in your hands," said Sistus.Elliot woke up, he found himself at the bottom of cave. He looked hopelessly at the ground when he heard something. "Oh man, it took me forever to groom these wings," said a muffled voice from behind the boulders. Elliot stood up to look closer. Then a peculiar creature came out clumsily from the rocks jumping on one leg and holding the other "ow ow ow ouch," it said.The creature didn't notice Elliot. The creature was like an eagle with figure of a man but made out of solid gold, wings with large width. It was wearing a gold armour but it was slim and it looked like it was twice as tall as Elliot. Elliot wasn't scared anymore but annoyed "oh my whoa!,"Elliot dogged its wing which made a sharp slicing sound and he fell on his rear.The creature stopped and turned around and saw him "Oh Elliot Comet," it said happily. " haven't I seen enough scary things for one day?" Elliot muttered and it carried him surprisingly and flew a few feet off the ground, flew down and kept him. Elliot was trying to get a grip of himself." I'm gonna pretend i didn't hear that," it retorted humorously." Who are you,how did you know my name?" Elliot asked. "I am Aliqua, milkyways Aliqua made of gold and better than hyenas and by the way, my name is Zyaire, of course I know your name I've been with you all your life," it said but Elliot looked suprised"You are that eagle I saw in a book.""Not sure what you saw but if so yes," it muttered quickly. "Wait, I'm... I'm,I don't know what to say," Elliot felt his head and smiled."Suprised huh,I get that a lot," boasted Zyaire."It feels like I'm in a movie right now," whispered Elliot." Ha,you wish," said Zyaire, Elliot looked at him "I got ears you know," said Zyaire.Zyaire flew a few feet off the ground." But now you are a scientia I can now reveal myself to you," said Zyaire quickly.Elliot didn't look like he got anything of what he said." Didn't Sistus tell you what you needed to know?" asked Zyaire and Elliot shook his head " not everything,he didn't have time," said Elliot."Waa,he didn't tell you?" said Zyaire suprised and started muttering to himself and was flapping his wings which cut a part of a boulder off easily, Elliot flinched.Zyaire landed near him and Elliot stepped back just in case any other part of him was sharp." let me tell you in the simplest way possible…you got powers," Zyaire said in suspense and there was silence."What,no no no it's a mistake," Elliot shook his head in disbelief and was walking away."The universe never makes mistakes bruh," said Zyaire."No,seriously I'm not cut out for this take someone else instead," said Elliot."Nope it is supposed to be you," Zyaire smirked.Elliot stopped "why me, why did it make me go through all this just to say I have powers?""To determine your bravery and like I said the universe is never wrong," Zyaire came to Elliot and held his shoulders "Elliot Comet,you are destined for many things."Elliot looked at his palms "how do I have powers I can't feel anything right now," said Elliot looking at his hands."Hate to burst your bubble,you had powers since birth," said Zyaire."Birth?""B-ir-th.""Wait I don't understand how?"asked Elliot."How, wouldn't it be obvious Elliot Comet,haven't you noticed anything extraordinary do you did your life,the weird circumstances you've been in ,do you think it's normal?"said Zyaire.Elliot reasoned it, all the unexpected things happening to him,all the weird things he found himself in,he turned to Zyaire who gave him a nod."But some of those times you almost died and I had to save you many times ,like that time you were a baby climbing ceilings and almost fell, like what da hell in your baby mind did you think you're doing?" asked Zyaire.Elliot turned away and looked at the ground with awe "oh, I know that time,my parents told me. So all this time I was experiencing powers, I thought it was eternal badluck," Elliot turned to Zyaire " it's just that I didn't know how to use them."Elliot had a new feeling in him, his heart was racing."Yeah, you might think powers are cool and all but it's not. It's a lot of responsibility. The powers inside you caused by the episteme inside you. You were chosen for a reason. This means there is some evil that needs stopping," said Zyaire.Flashes of the dream appeared in his mind again, Elliot face was with terror again, he finally spoke."Zyaire there are somethings that happened not so long ago, a dream I had, the book I saw,all those things led me here, why?"said Elliot."Glad you pointed that out," said Zyaire and jumped to a boulder "do you think that getting powers was your only encounter? Have you ever heard of... the mystery world?"Elliot thought "No.""The mystery world, it's your destiny Elliot Comet," Zyaire started emitting gold dust to form a visual experience " long, long ago In a galaxy. In the galaxy, there were two twin planets that had life but one was lost with no life while the other was full of life, until seven people founded the world, people like you. They took the place and harnessed the power to form a big bang in the world and it was now full of life and the world was formed with secrets of things paranormal that lies underneath, and form then on descendants of people that are not humans considered alienates that filled the world but since it is not known globally by its twin brother it's fondly called the mystery world but is really called kelper," said Zyaire as he made a visual glimpse of the story with golden dust "don't worry you will know soon enough what were going to do now is how to get out of here,hold on," said Zyaire."No no I don't want to ride on you," retorted Elliot."It's ok you won't fall," said Zyaire."I'm more concerned about not being cut in half," said Elliot."Do you wanna get outta this cave or not?" asked Zyaire but he didn't answer.Zyaire sighed and took Elliot and flew with speed.They flew out of the cave and flew high in the sky, Elliot screamed as Zyaire threw Elliot up and he roughly landed on his back."You could've warned me before you did that!" Elliot clutched himself "where are you taking me!""Geez Elliot,I never knew you were afraid of heights. I just wanted to spread my wings a little," said Zyaire."At this point heights is the least of my problems!" bellowed Elliot.They flew around the park to the city and and through Elliot's clutched eyes he could see the tiny lights of the city and slowly Elliot tremble went away and he was in getting used to the flight.He felt the wind blow his hair and face,he slowly removed his hands and spread it"woo-hoo!"Zyaire gave him a grin and he started to do some turns and swirls and Elliot almost lost his balance "hey it's enough," Elliot's caution came back.Meanwhile, at the cabin. Elliot's parents were still asleep when something crashed down from their roof into the living room.Mrs Jasmine and Mr James ran out of the room to the living room to know what made the loud sound, the lights went out. They could see a gold creature whose body reflected in the moonlight and underneath it was Elliot clutched in its arms. Mrs Jasmine let out a scream. Mr James turned on his lamp in horror. "Shh you will wake up the other people," Elliot whispered loudly. "What is that?" asked Mr James still horrified. "Rude," said Zyaire. " He is…I can't exp--it's a long story," said Elliot. " you better say everything right now," Mr James panicking. Mrs Jasmine was already picking up the phone to call the police but Elliot slapped it off of her hand. Zyaire was watching indignantly the whole time."Are you done?".They all went silent before Zyaire continued " Well , I don't blame you. You don't see an Aliqua break through your roof everyday," said Zyaire.Elliot went over to Zyaire "he is harmless he would'nt hurt you, I promise," Elliot slowly said,his parents finally calmed down but was still cautious.What was a clean spotless cabin was now covered in dust and debris."Sorry, I will fix that later but what I want is…" Zyaire looked at Mr James."Mr Comet, where is the bookskap?" asked Zyaire.Mrs Jasmine and Elliot looked at Mr. James and he looked confused "a what?""The bookskap you took from your doorstep ten years ago," said Zyaire but Mr James didn't understand. " Zyaire slapped his forehead " a wooden frog with wings." Mr James paused "oh yes, I remember."'What's a bookskap, is dad behind this?' Elliot thought. Mr James went through the shelves in the living room,the cupboard, his files and documents as they watched him. Mrs Jasmine was staying a distance from Zyaire while he was watching with this time a serious face.Mr James took a while till he brought it out from a document though it had a crack in the eyeball"Here it is." They didn't know why Zyaire wanted the wooden carving. Zyaire took it and gave it to Elliot."This was kept for you when you were little,it has a message," said Zyaire.He gave it to Elliot, he looked at Zyaire who gave him an encouraging smile, his parents stood aside cautious watching what will happen.It started ticking to an extent Elliot thought it would explode in his face.It stopped and it broke in half in his palm and a ball of light came out in front of him and it sang
" In worlds unseen,unseen where shadows play,A riddle whispers night and day,A mystery vast yet to unfold,What lies beyond the ancient's foretold,Within the depths where secrets sleep,A puzzle waits it's vigil to keep,Through labyrinthine paths we're hurled,A canvas blank untouched by hand,A world of promise vast and grand,Where times unbroken banners unfurl,We glimpse at the answer that turns to a swirl,So ponder deep let thoughts unfurl,For this enigma lies the swirl,Of dreams and hopes tend to guile,The answer though seems so neigh,welcome to cor centuriaa school like no other.Find your place in therebecause it is a placeworthy of remembranceIn a world like no other".
The ball of light faded away. Many questions exploded in Elliot's mind. Mr James mouth lay agape in shock." Welcome to the mystery world,weclome to cor centuria," said Zyaire. " But why,how. What is Cor Centuria?" said Elliot in astonishment. "What do you mean by mystery world," interjected Mr James suddenly . Elliot almost forgot that his parents were still in the room."A new world for Elliot where Elliot will fulfill his destiny," replied Zyaire."You mean a place on earth right,right?" asked Mrs Jasmine."What else do I mean by another world?" said Zyaire."You can't do that, why should he just go to another planet--just like that," Mr James was frowning at this point. " Who do you think you are,first you broke into our roof, now you are telling my son to go to some school in another world?" said Mr James sternly. "Sorry about the roof but Elliot has to do this you see it's his destiny, it's what is best for your son," said Zyaire calmly."You don't know what is best for my son," interjected Mrs Jasmine with a sudden courage to stand up to a creature.Elliot moped from Zyaire to his parents as they talked."I know what is more than best for your son,do you know who I am?I am an Aliqua,I know all your son's life people don't appreciate Elliot for who he is. This has affected your son but you don't look into it,you don't take it seriously. Cor centuria can be a place where he can be taken for who-he-is," there was an air of seriousness in Zyaire's voice."Sure,I agree he is not like the others but I want him to have a normal life,to go to a normal school have a normal life,he can't just use this school as a medium to escape reality and live in some fairytale," said Mrs Jasmine as if that was what she always wanted for her son.Elliot felt down inside by these words."Yeah,how is going to get a certificate,how is he going to get a life,who knows what they teach in that school?"asked Mr James."Let me tell you something, kelper gives earth certificate and teaches subjects similar and I can tell you there are humans who were in kelper and lives on earth just fine. There are famous people in history that were in kelper and other dimensions like Nikola Tesla, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein and who else...Leonardo da Vinci. Even if Elliot is not like the others, he is unique, there are unusual things that happen to him and he is not an ordinary kid, you have a special kid,that is why cor centuria is a perfect place for him,think of what your son needs,if he goes to middle school and he screw up he will taken as a weirdo just like how he was treated and then has a normal life instead of the one the universe destined for him. What meaning will his life make, have you ever asked him how he felt?" asked Zyaire.This argument was making Elliot fell uneasy. Should he agree with Zyaire,this school didn't sound so bad, first he was scared but now he wants it,if what Zyaire says is true he can be able to meet his own people that will take him for who he is,that was what he always wanted but what about his parents,what will they say.Mrs Jasmine turned to Elliot who looked back in concern."Sure he did some things,sure he did things like litting stuff on fire exploding things or getting stuck on high places, yes the teacher tell me. At that time I will think he was mischievous but he will tell me it just happened but not in his accord it just --happened,but now you're here I think it's true,that Elliot has some kind of I don't know whether to call it an ability," said Mr James.Zyaire thought for a second he'd gotten through with him." But does it mean he has to wind up in a school In another planet.Think with your mind, just because he will gets called for doing weird things, does it mean it's worth to send your child to a fairytale school to do magic tricks. I'm not just thinking about what he needs, I'm thinking of what is best for him, I'm thinking of the safety of my son from going with a messed up alien like you!" yelled Mr James.Zyaire snapped, his wings widened, his voice became more scary "I am not just an alien, I am an an aliqua, next time get it right," Elliot's parents cowered back."Stop!" Elliot bellowed and they stopped."I really never expected that it will get to this. Mom,Dad you need to listen like you have never listened before. I really need to enter that school not because I like it, but because I need to, or else things will go wrong.I experienced a lot this night to know that what Zyaire is saying is important and needs to be done.And besides, heard what Zyaire said, I finally get to meet people that will take me for who i am,not as if people on earth ever did.His parents were suprised to hear this from him."I really do not want this but…"gesturing his hands in exasperation. You might not understand this yet but it's like a responsibility I need to take because of you don't allow me,"Elliot took a deep breath "I can just go with Zyaire and never come back," said Elliot more seriously than he ever did also was the most stupid thing he'd ever said but it was necessary. "Elliot, do you know what you are saying,did you mean that--that we didn't take you for who you were?" said Mrs jasmine in shock. "No,it just that you two didn't get what I was going through, I will go with Zyaire and I mean every word of it," Elliot said.There was silence in the room before Mr James spoke "Okay Elliot,if that's what you want fine.But just know this is a decision that if it goes wrong, you get to live with it for for the rest of your life," Mr James said with seriousness in his face.Elliot looked at him sadly."Don't think we will have the power to help you when you do it because you brought it upon yourself which can never change.Just because you were not normal does that mean you will continue to be abnormal for the rest of your life just because you have fairytale and Mr eagle to back you up?" said Mr James."James," cautioned Mrs Jasmine and looked at Elliot with hopelessness.Elliot was heartbroken by what his father said, he had never seen this side of him before. Zyaire also felt his pain "We are going back home next weekend, I'm gonna work around the clock for this mess," muttered angrily and passed went back into his room and his mother followed. Elliot was feeling regret for making that decision, he has never seen seen his parents this downcast. "Sorry it had to be like that," said Zyaire as he swished his finger and the bars of wood and dust reversed to the ceiling. The roof was fixed."They didn't...they didn't understand me...my intentions," Elliot bowed his head and wanted to tear up."Hey there," said Zyaire sympathetically and raised Elliot's head up with his chin, his face already had tears trickling down."I promise you tomorrow it will all be over with this nonsense,tomorrow, I'll come. Don't worry, everything will be alright," Zyaire assured him.Elliot wiped his tears "okay."Zyaire went towards the door and gave Elliot one last look before he flew out the door. Elliot closed the door,went to lay on his bed anxious for tomorrow.
