The Orgin. What exactly was it?
It was the name given to the start in change. Drastic change. It was even bigger then a revolution.
However after 30 year periods , there would normally be a big change. So when 30 years passed after the Origin , people expected a change.
But this time there wasn't one. There were no new significant inventions after the 30 year period duration. Imagination was lacking so nobody could think of anything new. This concerned the public.
Why was there nothing new? Is there something wrong? God is this generation doomed?
It was an appropriate reaction but in honesty, how could they expect more even though mother nature had already given them the absolute peak of everything. It was a rhetorical question but people still spoke it and some people even tried to amswer it.
It was hypercritical because the people answering were not the awakened hero's , it was the clueless civilian's. The civilian's that didn't dare try help in the effort. They debated and debated. To the point where the Country news was speculating about it. They had even brought in awakened beings to share there thoughts to.

A few hours past and Mum and Dad had not yet arrived back home. Lesia briefly remembered them mentioning going to the shop before they disappeared however that was at 3 pm and it was currently 8.30 pm, so naturally the group were worried.
" Sooo anybody think its a reasonable time to go on a little search for mum and dad? or are we just going to ignore the fact that they should of been here 2 hours and a half ago?''
Michikiel for once spoke something reasonable and honest so in astonishment that he could speak nicely , Lesia tried to respond. However Josh beat her to it.
" Damn you actually speak something reasonable. Sh*t this is something new. What a suprise"
Mich snorted before biting back.
" Like your any better, you can't go a sentence without swearing or speaking nonsense. Jessy your 2 minute younger sister is better than you."
"THAT FUGLY THING IS NOT BETTER THAN ME." It was an abrupt reply and an offensive one at that.
Jessie had a look at disgust on her face , and spoke what she thought out loud.
"How did i manage to get such a rude person as my twin. So glad we aren't conjoined." It was mumbled very quietly but loud enough so everybody but Josh could hear.
Speaking from an outsiders perspective, Josh's statement was very wrong. The whole family had amazing looks and Jessy being called ugly or anybody in that room being called ugly would be a statement that if anybody outside were to hear they'd drop dead in confusion.
The only thing grounding Josh's statement was the fact he just being petty and childish. Very childish at that.
"Can we stop speaking rubbish and just get to the point, mum and dad said they went to Vesco's to get some food. We should look there. We'll probably be able to find them taking there good time looking at everything."
*Uhm Lesia I hate to break it to you but doesn't Vesco's shut at 8 on a Sunday?" Jess was quick to respond to Lesia , she didn't want the other 2 starting an argument over petty reasons again. However it was to late. Mich had found a way to counter-attack Jess.
"Idiot it's Saturday today not Sunday, but Lea's right we should probably go look."
Fortunately he read the room a little more then normal and decided it wasn't the time anymore. They had to find their parents for a few reasons. Reason 1 being that they had to discuss application to University for the twins and reason 2 being that any family member not coming home after a couple hours without prior notice is pretty concerning.
With that they all slipped their shoes and coats on and hoped into the car.
Lea was driving a small 4 seater car. Mich was in a mood because Jess stole the seat in the front and with the driver having no objections, he couldn't move and had to sit next to Josh.
The weather out side was cold and it was drawing closer to winter.
The silence in the car was very awkward and so Jess pressed the radio on.
'So Mr Jones , whats your take on the 30 year mark from the start origin?, Do you have any thoughts or insight to share?'
'Ah , yes. I'd love to share my thoughts with the world.'
'Please go on sir'
' I believe that we should celebrate and remember the noble sacrifice's made. I have only been awakened for a short period of 5 years but can already tell that without the first generation hero's we would indeed be in a fatal position. We must honour our hero's by pushing forward and making new developments in our technology and understanding of the system.'
'Know to all viewers, you heard the man we must honour our history and push forwards. That'll be all. '
There was a short pause before radio music started to play. The radio was abit creeky , but it had been like that for a very long time now.
"Hey , Mr Jones is an S-Rank awakened, how did the local news manage to get someone like him on their show?"
It was an incredibly stupid remarks because the local news couldn't get someone like in therefore it couldn't be the local news.
Lesia could here multiple different sighs going off like alarms
"Thats because its not the local news you div."
Surprisingly it wasn't Josh to make that remark instead it was Jess.
"Well how was I supposed to know that?"
"Brother, I love you and all ... but we live in a small town with little funding. We have to drive 30 minutes to get to Vesco's and Mr Jones lives in the Usa , he came from abroad. So using that information, do you still generally think he would go on the radio for a small local town?"
He murmured in a low voice " No..." but then questioned "So then is this the district news , Is Mr Jones in our district?" It was a reasonable question so they all turned their heads to Lesia.
"Uhm I don't really know I imagine that its country wide but maybe it is district? Im not to sure."
The time passed yet again but in the silence, the drive didn't feel like long to Lesia , it was peaceful and that was all Lea needed for the drive to feel like seconds.

" Vik , Vik. . . VIK."
...
" Jesus Victoria what got you so occupied? We need to pay for the food."
" Oh sorry I just keep zoning out." She spoke while trembling so Luwis couldn't help but check if that really way the case.
"You sure , I mean you don't look great."
Vik thought before she spoke, she didn't want to alarm anybody in the queue , she signaled him to lean closer before she started to whisper quietly.
"I have this gut feeling, like something is about to go incredibly wrong. A disaster of some sort. we need to get out soon , infact everybody here does." It was spoken with enough tremble to tell that she was not lying. Her gut feelings had never been wrong , and if they were it was only a spin off the truth. But gathering the couple hundred of people inside a large supermarket store was not going to be easy.
There was not enough time and there were too many people. So whatever it was they would have to deal with it themselves.
Once they were done paying for there food they headed towards they exit. The were preparing a way to explain to their children about why they were so late back.
However before they could come up with a valid explanation, the floors started to quake. Slowly getting more vigorous. The shaking of the building could be seen from outside. Most believed it to be an earthquake , the only problem with this thought was that they were in the Uk. The Uk does not have earthquakes of such strength.
Most people knew this as common knowledge but in such situation where the earth starts to shake so strongly, most people are not able to think straight. Victoria and Luwis were not most people. They had prior knowledge and although they didn't know what would happen they just knew something would.
But when a giant vortex the size of the Vesco's they instinctively knew that they couldn't do much and that they were of no help. It would be quite tragic. If somebody didn't or couldn't clear that monsterious thing the whole town would be wiped out. No doubting that it would be the next gate A. Although nobody would be dragged in , somebody had to go in to stop whatever were inside.
Victoria and Luwis already said and promised each other they would stop it. Now as defensively people they would try there best.
It would be a small tragedy to stop a big one.
