Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Broadcast

After Inferno forces General Katia to leave Jair's residency, Jair hid within the tile underneath the wood floor of his room. Once the inferno forces had left the Power's residences, Jair got up and ran into Town Five to his grandmother's house but unannounced to him, the inferno forces were already there and were taking his grandmother into custody. Little tewlve-year-old Jair is confused about what he should do, he still doesn't know why his father was taken away and he doesn't know why his grandmother is being taken away, and why his mother was stabbed. He decides to head to Town one because his grandma had told him if anything were to go wrong head there and look for Ester, she was an old friend of his grandmother. It took him two days but eventually, he made it. On the way there he was tired, hungry, and did not know what to do. He is a 12-year-old boy who has had everything taken from him in an instant and has no knowledge of why. He doesn't even know of the ability he had used to eradicate a whole town in the Northern District. On his way to Town 1, he had to find food and fend for himself for two whole days while avoiding getting caught by the Inferno soldiers. The only way he showered is if it had rained, on the second day, he finally arrives in Providence 1, the reason Town one is a good location to hide in is that it is a tiny area, having barely any protection from the capital and barely able to make do with the taxes that Inferno places upon them. 

Once Jair had made it to providence one, he asked around if people knew who Ester was and all the adults looked at him with pity and disgust, even though they were no better than him. He was dirty and covered with bruises, while the adults were clean and had on regular civilian attire, they all questioned who this boy belonged to. A kid around his age looks at him and feels compassion to go talk to him and see if he's okay, but as she walks over there she sees him faint. He had given up hope with distraught on his face, his body not able to move anymore Jair falls to the ground and faints on the sidewalk, he has been up for two whole days, trying to make it to Ester and now that he's closer than ever, it feels like shes further than when he once began. The kid that saw Jair fall to the ground rushed over to help him, the girl who saved him brought him into a house where an old wise lady gave him tea to recover and allowed him to sleep on a bed. The older lady asked the girl what happened. 

The girl in question is Iyanna Cielo, 100 years ago there were multiple independent states within the eastern district and it said that she is related to King Bobby the second of a kingdom called Ark. The girl says, "Wise Elder Ester, he was knocked out and unable to walk anymore, I brought him here because he seemed like he was in trouble, just how you saved me the other day." Ester tells Iyanna, "I wonder if he was one of the two presences I felt while I was saving you. Two days ago I brought you into providence one and on that day, a mom and son were being harassed by some soldiers, when you had your tantrum and awakened your abilities making a huge thunderstorm in an instant within the area, I went to save you and thanks to those two sacrificing distracting everyone the only one who saw that'd I saved you was Joshua but he couldn't tell who it was thanks to your storm and smoke. They do know you out there though." "I'm glad they were able to save me, I hope it wasn't that much trouble," said Iyanna. "I'm sure he will explain what he can when he wakes," said Ester.

Day three begins and the celebration is about to start. All the portals tower over each district and in every Town there is a portal to demonstrate what is happening in the capital. All of the generals, council, and royal members are present. Inferno gets on the podium and says to everyone in the capital, "Hello citizens of Kolasi, you may have heard of the destruction that has happened in the Northern district, for that I must commend the brave citizens who have come forward to reveal the truth behind what has happened." As the portals were appearing throughout the whole country, Jair started to wake up, when he looked outside he saw a giant Olympian figure that kind of resembled Zeus, with it being over 100 feet in size. The place he is in resembles a home but when he looks around the room, it looks like they are floating through space. There is a giant Zeus outside the window with thousands of stars in the background. Jair hears a knock, knock, knock, He is confused about this new place, the last thing he remembers was falling to the ground. He thinks he's in jail but then concludes how a jail could look so nice. In the midst of his thinking the door slowly opens and it's Iyanna the girl who had saved him. "How are you feeling?" Iyanna asks. "How did I get here?" Jair questions. "You fell to the ground and I picked you up and brought you to the rebel base," Iyanna said. Before they could talk about anything else a broadcast is shown of what's going on in the capital and Jair sees his father. With confusion in his voice, Jair asks, "Why is my dad there?"

The ceremony starts and all of Kolasi are tuned in to watch what is going on, the broadcast is only used every so often. Inferno is in the shot of the broadcast and starts to give his speech on the matter. "I would like to give great thanks to the hero, Simon Powers who turned in his wife and child who had destroyed the Town Six in retaliation for the empire, he has earned himself a spot in the royal capital. Anyone who has information about God's candidates and turns them in will have a spot in my royal palace. Now for everyone in the Northern district, what is coming now is nothing but payment for trying to retaliate against the empire of Kolasi. Thunder Empress and Heartless can you give them a demonstration." Laisha and Tyshae stand up and raise their right arms simultaneously, Tyshae's hands start emitting coldness and Laisha's hand begins to get covered in lightning. The broadcast shifts over to a broad angle over the whole Northern District. A huge light blue and dark blue circle appears over the Northern District and lightning starts striking down, while large blocks of ice rain from above strike the whole district down. Lightning starts to hit buildings and the ice starts to go through homes, the ice is harder than metal. At the rate of their attack, the whole district will be destroyed. The citizens scream and run in panic, a random civilian starts getting on his knees and praying that they are saved
