A Story Explained

When Amorak departed, he left Jacob and Elsteba on the shore of the small island. As Amorak swam toward the main land and what was left of his shack, tensions between those who remained grew.


"Well…" said Jacob as he stood and stretched his arms toward the sky "I need some time to think, I will not be far away." And with that he dropped his hover sail turning on its sun charged battery and bringing it to life, jumped on it and sailed a few meters away, to a small cove on the Island, still in sight of Elsteba but far enough away that she could not hear him.


As he came to a stop the two blue figures shimmered back to life. "So… tell me why did my father send me hear? Why did he send me hear when… when we where so close to finally having victory over the Thunder birds? Why, when we where so close to perfecting the Pathogen and final victory, did he sentence me to this Hellish seclusion?"


"First your father wanted us to tell you that he loved you, and that he did this for your own good," said the armor-encased hologram standing arm in arm with the teacher dressed in ancient robes.


"Understood. Now tell me WHY!?!" he yelled, getting upset.


The two figures looked down sympathetically at him. "He discovered that if you would have stayed in your existence, you would have been killed or enslaved. He never told us what," said Athelia, "He just mentioned that you where the only one who could leave our dying world. The solsages of our planet created a powerful weapon this you know, but you don't even comprehend how powerful. It was on a level that the second it was discovered it sent the whole of infinite existence into a downward spiral, and not even your father couldn't predict where it would end up. Some of the affects we saw on our world. The two suns merging into one dying red star, the mutation of your people, and the loss of countless lives - while these things were travesties, they are nothing compared to what was coming."


Jacob was in a state of shock. Yellow SUN!! "If all of these things have already happened, what, then, has happened to my father?"


"No one can say, we don't know if our home has been destroyed or enslaved yet by the force that your father detected, or if home is still waiting there for us to return when the time is right."


"How did my father know of this impending attack on our world?"said Jacob sarcastically.


"He found some artifacts that supposedly dated back to before the big bang. Ten years ago, when you were still pretty young, the artifact gave him dreams about a darkness that enveloped everything. There was nothing specific about the dreams, just that single impression about a dark force, as well as one additional dream about the location of other artifacts. Your father went out in search of them, and they all did the same thing - gave him dreams about an impending doom, a darkness that would swallow our home whole, and then continue onward, devouring world after world after world, meanwhile becoming stronger all of the time."


"So my father sent me to a different dimension because he thinks that some cosmic force that has tried before to destroy all of existence is coming back, and he thinks this because he found some odd artifacts that gave him dreams filled with a dark presence?" The two floating figures in front of him couldn't answer at first. They just looked at each other, then back at him and nodded. "Great. Well better get back to the others, and see if we can find some food," said Jacob dismissively, "I am hungry."
