Chapter 2 - The Awakening

During the time Raa was in his slumber, great many things were happening. Billions of galatic systems were being formed, stars forming and dying in those systems, boulders hundreds of kilometers long revolving around their stars crashing and sticking into each other forming planetary system around stars, different life forms took shape and started habitating those planetary systems all around the stretch of vastness the voice had created.

Eons passed as Raa continued floating billions of kilometers away from where he originally rested on a giant rock when he was first put to deep slumber by a great force. His body not glowing anymore with the great energy that was pushed into him by a pulsating ray of light.

The part of the boulder carrying Raa finally broke from its bigger mass and crashed into a planet of a planetary system around one of the billion suns. Planet known as Helon to its people. Raa lying on the sandy beach on the side of a great ocean, waves after waves crashing on his body. Residual heat on his skin enough to vaporize every single drop of water touching him. If from a distance one saw the beach, they could have clearly seen steam coming from a single spot where Raa laid. His cooled down body, his skin had a bluish tinge to it, and the scar dividing his forehead still clearly visible.

"Raa... Raa.... Raa.... Raa!!", the voice vibrated in Raa's body again. It had been days since Raa laid there on the sandy beach of Helon. Half asleep he could still remember it after eons, the voice . The same voice that talked to him as he gained consciousness and opened his eyes for the very first time.

The voice: "Raa... Raa.... Raa.... Raa!!, it is time... Raa... Raa.... Raa.... Raa!!, it is time!! "

Raa:"What? ... What? ... Who? .. What time? ... "

Raa said half asleep in a broken voice as he tried to open his eyes. His eyes felt heavy, as he opened them completely and then he tried getting up on his two feet, loosing balance a few times. This was the first time he was standing on his two feet on a solid surface. Till now whatever time he could remember he was suspended in nothingness talking and hearing to the voice.

He had no idea about the scale of time that had passed since then and the changes that had taken place around. He glanced around himself, to the vast ocean, endless as far as he could see, to the rocky terrain behind him, towering mountains at a distance, the sky, the sky he noticed had 2 bright suns and a unusually bright spot in the sky. He didn't think much of it at the time after all it was the very first time he had opened his eyes for so long and saw around, there was no way he could know what was normal and what was not.

He didn't even knew what he was, where he was, why he was. He kept thinking about the voice and what had happened, about his first memory, about that bright ray of light. Raa saw the reflection of himself in the ocean, He touched his face seeing the reflection, He could see the scar. He touched his forehead with his hand, he could notice a bump there where he absorbed the ray. He could feel the warmth as he touched his scar. The rage coming back to him, the same rage that he felt before he was put to sleep. He got no answers to his questions, the voice in his head all coming back very fast.

Raa wailed, he was angry at the voice, he had no answers. He could feel his scar getting hotter, burning red hot, his anger increasing, the folds in his forehead opening up slowly, blue and red rays coming out as the scar opened up slowly. A final wail from Raa and all the ocean was divided into two parts instantly, a beam so powerful comes out from his forehead, it looked as if a third sun appeared in the sky dwarfing the daylight, the two stars combined in the sky. The heat from the beam so high, the sand turns to glass near where Raa stood. It lasted just for few seconds.

Raa's breathing still heavy and the land still shaking with the impulse, when he suddenly felt a big punch on his back, the impact from the punch so heavy it threw Raa flying on the ocean skipping like a flat stone. He could feel the heat from the punch on his back as he went flying.

When Raa finally stopped on the ocean floor kilometers away, he looked in the direction from where the punch came. He noticed he could see clearly, even though he was very far from the spot he previously was. There stood a man who looked somewhat identical to Raa, his skin had same blue tinge as Raa.

Raa's focus immediately went to one other thing, that could not have gone unnoticed. A shiny circular serrated blade floated around the Mystery man creating sparks.

The voice:"He is the help".

Raa heard the voice out of nowhere. His eyes shifted focus from the mystery man.

The voice:"You two are one"

Raa heard it again.

The voice:"He is you"

He could barely listen the last message, when Raa saw from the corner of his eye a closed fist coming towards him. The mystery man was fast. Too fast. The punch connected.
