The Key

Aurel's hands were shaking as he pointed his fingers towards something in that rugged old book. But why was he this afraid of that thing, was that related to him?

Dr. Tressa had seen him expressing every emotion but for the first time she was completely shocked as she had never seen him this scared before.

Aurel-: This…..This.... pendant, why.... is it mentioned here?

Dr. Tressa-: Have you seen this before?

Just give me the answer, Aurel was full of rage while speaking, he was spitting out fire. It seemed like it was not him, he had never been this angry before.

Irene woke up from the loud sound.

What happened (yawning drowsily), why is there so much sound, asked Irene.

Aurel-: just shut the f*** up, you bi*** and you just tell me why the hell is this pendant mentioned here. Whom does it belongs to?

Irene's drowsiness was completely gone, she couldn't believe her ears that such an innocent boy like him could ever use cuss words. Has he gone mad, why is he behaving like this. (thinking to herself)

Okay, just calm down I'll tell you. Dr. Tressa asked Aurel to calm down and narrated the whole story of the pendant.

Dr. Tressa-: The pendant that you're talking about is not a pendant, it's a key.

Aurel-: Key, what key? What are you talking about?

Dr. Tressa-: It's the key to unlock the most powerful ability. If you gain this superpower then you'll become invincible, no one can destroy you. With this you can also attain immortality.

Aurel-: What is this superpower about and how can anyone achieve immortality?

Dr. Tressa-: According to the records, our ancestors created an amulet that holds the best of the best abilities of different races. It consists hundreds of abilities of more than 200 races from different planets of different galaxies. But nobody knows if it truly exists or is it just a hoax.

Aurel-: I've seen this before, this might be true but I never knew such type of thing exists.

Dr. Tressa-: You have seen this!! Where, do you remember it?

Aurel-: My father had this key. I had seen it with him on my 11th birthday eve and the last time was when...….( a pause )

Irene-: When did you see it last?

Aurel-: When the police found my parent's dead body at the accident site. After that I have never seen it.

Dr. Tressa-: Can you remember it what did you do with it?

Aurel-: Yes, it must be in my father's personal belonging bag. Let's go to my house.

Without further ado, they immediately teleported to his house, racked the whole house but it was nowhere to be seen.

I'm sure the police returned that key along with the other belongings but why is that not here. While murmuring these thoughts to himself a thought struck into his mind, " What does my father have to do with all these mess", "why is he related to this."

Irene-: I never knew you are into tattoos.

Aurel-: Tattoos, what Tattoos. What are you talking about, I've never had any tattoo in my whole life.

Irene-: Then, what is it behind your neckline at the back of your left ear.

Dr. Tressa (checking out the tattoo)-: What the..., it's the exact same design of the amulet.

Aurel-: But how can I have a tattoo when I've never had one?

Dr. Tressa-: No, no that's not the question right now, the strangest part is why and how are you related to the amulet and the key.

Aurel-: Then, what do we do now?

Dr. Tressa-: We have to inform Major Giant. He might know something.

Base No. 100, (the largest base of the ship)

This was the most extravagant and the most extraordinary base in the whole ship but it was the first time Aurel was not interested in any of its exquisite things, he had only one thought ravaging his mind, "the relation of his family with the amulet." He now had a dilemma whether his family really got into an accident that day or was it all fake.

Did anyone kill my family, was this amulet the cause of their death. But why would any normal family of mine would involve with such abilities. What did they have to do with it. All these thoughts were disrupted by Dr. Tressa.

Dr. Tressa-: What are you thinking?

Aurel-: No, nothing ...…. Mmm, did Major Giant arrive?

Irene-: No, he hasn't.

Aurel-: When is that old geezer going to come.( Talking to himself)

Dr. Tressa-: Hey, we know you are not in your right mind now but you can't be disrespectful towards him.

Aurel-: Then just get him right here in this particular moment.

Irene-: Hey, why are you furious over nothing!!

Aurel was going to piss her off when Major Giant entered the room with a small translucent box in his hands. It was a small sized square box with 2 blue stones attached to it on each side which sparkled with brilliance in the artificial lighting.

Dr. Tressa couldn't believe her eyes,

Why did you bring this box here, what does it have to do with this, asked Dr. Tressa.

Irene-: Why, what does this box contains and why are you so shocked. It looks quite grand.

Major Giant-: We have no time to spare, I'll explain everything to you later. Aurel, we need your DNA sample immediately.

Aurel-: Will you please explain what is going on and what is a box doing here?

Major Giant-: I told you, I will explain everything.

Dr. Tressa gave the DNA sample of Aurel to Major Giant. He put the sample inside a tiny space and pressed some numerals on the box's lower middle side.

To everyone's surprise the blue stones glowed and then became one big blue stone and with it the box opened.

Dr. Tressa-: I can't believe this box opened.

But as soon as Major Giant touched the box a large wave of current hit him and he was thrown in the air.
