Chapter 12 - Not From this Earth

As the line went off, Remo shifted his gaze at the bright sky!

He remembers home…

Since he left for overseas work, there was no concrete result yet on his plans after three long years of commitment.

People told him not to cross business with work, but now he was trusting his gut saying this is the right path.

Turning his attention back to Elisa her "beloved mother," it's time to make up for what she did for his sake.

Her mother sacrificed a lot in giving birth secretly enduring the bitter hard life.

How much despair did she felt?

The eyes of Remo turned red with anger surging through his veins. His strong facial features exuded an authoritative aura resembling like a king.

Clenching his hands, an unseen field of energy surrounded his physical body. His mood and emotional state have been affected, his pulse rising.

Activating his spiritual power and waving his hands on the glass of water atop the table, it flew on his hands.

He raised the water into his mouth and drink it...

One thing he learned of harnessing the force using his spiritual energy was to control objects.

It's physics --- the natural science of psychic ability.

He can already use the power of his mind without using physical contact to manipulate certain targets.

He now has many reasons to believe the elderly couples who had been nurturing his skills were not from this earth.

They were probably from a different civilization in another planet out there in the vast universe.

Looking back on his past events, his memories filled into his young life.

From an infant age, he was born at the countryside away from the city.

No other villages lived near them.

They were far from the next town roughly six miles away.

Although their home was isolated from the rest of the villages, a dirt road for light vehicles was available in transporting passengers and sending deliveries.

Around three miles from their small hut, lived an old couple nearby the top of the mountains.

They assisted her mother when she gave birth to him.

After coming out from this world until he grows older, her mother would always tell him that he was always afraid to strangers --- except from the two couples who lived nearby.

Oftentimes, they would visit them by sharing food, revealing their daily lives that were not recognized before, ultimately, teach them how to cultivate and meditate.

People from other villages would oftentimes communicate to her mother that the couples seemed to be possessed with an unseen field of energies surrounding their physical bodies.

They see them with shadowy outline in bluish color flowing around them like some kind of an aura not common from the people in the neighborhood.

Some even wonder if they might be witches donning elemental bodies imbued with skillful spiritual essence no different from ghosts.

These strange anomalies were shared by the villagers at the farm market.

Her mother put up a stall at the village market for poor people to buy fresher farm vegetables and help subsidize their daily needs.

They have little money and barely have nice food to eat.

She did everything and anything ever since he was a young boy.

At present, she was barely forty-two years old but no longer looks like her age due to hard work from tilling the land.

Her mother is holding onto pieces to let them survive.

On some occasions, people claimed they would see paranormal activities at the top of the mountain where the elderly couple lives.

These were consistently followed by the appearances of unexplained bright lights illuminating the night sky.

Although it was dark and cloudless, the occurring airglow from top of the mountain looks like it was daytime giving the villagers a false impression.

Based on other stories, the source of the blinding lights during the night sky leaves an after-image "burning" into their eyes.

It was said that they could still see it even after looking at a darker place.

And only when the dazzling lights disappears that everyone returned from their senses.

Later on, people started avoiding the place due to manifestation of gravitational anomalies.

When they use the trail leading to the mountains, it appears as though they are rolling downhill but actually going uphill.

There was even a story shared by a middle-aged farmer who accidentally witnessed the elderly man sitting motionless in a platform cross-legged.

The leaves around him were floating in mid-air.

The old farmer who saw the anomalies was completely caught off guard upon seeing the extraordinary scene.

"My goodness! --- is he from another planet? How the hell could he do that!" he muttered with an astonished face.

He could not handle the thought of how skillful the elderly man creating a free space around him.

It was something different… something abnormal --- out of this world!

The farmer took a deep breath and could not help but being scared.

'What kind of a person lived here? What a strong mental ability!'

Looking intently on the silhouette of the elderly man's body, he was shifting gracefully with very quick powerful movements like dancing.

The moment the elderly man noticed his presence ---- he suddenly turned into a blur and become invisible.

The farmer was rendered speechless…

"Holy molly!" he exclaimed.

Out from his hiding position, he took a few steps backward while collapsing to the ground.

Instantly, the leaves that were floating in the air immediately fell to the ground.

When the farmer regained his consciousness, he could not control peeing off his pants.

He jumped out from the ground and quickly run like a rabbit leaving the place.

"That man has some superpowers!"

However, all these stories coming from nearby villagers were ignored by her mother.

She interprets them as hearsays. "Why would she be?"

Both the elderly couples were frequent visitors in their small house often assisting his mother babysit him during his growing period.

Their presence was always missed if they could not see them for a day.

The relationship they established was their true self genuinely authentic.

Moreover, they have not seen anything unusual about their personalities, nothing special as they mingle while expressing their emotions.

It even makes it easier for them to do something since her mother was raising him alone.

Thinking about it, Remo's face instantly became gloomy, his eyes piercing in the cold wind.

"This isn't about fate. It's a choice and I'm not here to bury anyone..." softly saying to himself.
