Awake

-Two thousand years later

A young man found him himself in a room surrounded by pure darkness, the only light he could see was that of a small crack in a wall not far off. Taking a single step the young man vanished and reappeared on the other side, the room he entered was a large office space and behind him was a desk with three beautiful crafted jars one it, one of which was cracked. Right beside it was a picture of a man he recognized and who he would assume was his wife and daughter.

The young man tensed his muscles slightly and clenched his fists trying to get a feel for his body. He felt different, as if the body he inhabited wasn't his own. He felt as he he had fallen asleep and awoke as someone new.

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply feeling the air around him, a strong cosmic aura pulsed from him sending a wave of energy throughout the building. He then opened them wide amazed by his own power, the only thing on his mind was that he definitely was not this strong before.

He walked toward the window behind the desk and opened it, walking onto the balcony he took a breath of the fresh air before hopping onto the ledge and vanishing.

In a park some people passing by noticed the animals begin to stir, as soon as the animals ran into the forest the young man landed where they were before. He slid through the grass slightly when he landed, leaving a dirt trail behind him. Those watching had curious looks on their face wondering where he had come from.

They were momentarily mesmerized by his appearance as his long glowing white hair flowed in the wind, his shining white irises emanated a beautiful and warm power, as they faded to black along with his hair. His toned muscles twitched at the feeling of being watched, when he looked in their direction they hurriedly walked away. In their mind they couldn't help but wonder who the man was, they could tell he was a celestial with immense power, but why hadn't they seen him before.

He continued on, walking the trail toward the small lake in the middle. Taking in the view and fresh air, he couldn't help but feel as if the world around him was different somehow.

His perception of it seemed to have changed while he slept, he could feel the life more clearly and sense the world around him, as if everything around him had it's own independent life energy.

Walking over to the lake he could see his own reflection, he touched his face, feeling the differences. He looked..., older yet somehow younger than last he'd saw himself.

He hesitated slightly, wondering if his celestial form had changed at all. Breathing in he closed his eyes and slowly began to change, his aura instantly spiked and erupted from within covering the whole park and going beyond that, into the nearby city.

In one of those buildings the alarm systems were going crazy, and people were scrambling back and forth trying to find the cause and location of the readings.

"What a coincidence, I just so happen to be here today. What's the readings say?.?." A man said as he walked toward one of the workers who were looking for the cause.

"Seems to be a large energy reading coming from a park outside the city, sir." The worker said as he looked back to see the head of the council looking over his shoulder.

"Oh, Lord Uriel, I wasn't aware you'd be here today." He said with a nervous laugh.

"Relax bud, seems I won't be sticking around long. Let me know the location I'll see to it myself." Uriel said trying to put the man at ease.

"Haha right, umm Krystal Park sir, just 3 miles west." He said trying not to look nervous.

"Really, that's some reach. I wonder what's causing it.., I just might have some fun today." Saying this he walked toward the door smiling then vanished.

Changing back into his human form, the young man was relieved to see he was still the same, although now he could transform completely and had more control. Thus was the fruit of awakening.

He closed his eyes and sighed with relief then went to look at his new appearance again but this time he saw something weird.

Looking back down he saw a young man looking back at him, he had dark brown hair and blue eyes and wore dark armor that seemed to be made of his own power.

The young man looked to be in a fight then the image distorted and the young man's head turned and look him dead in the eyes. Then he reached out for him, the image then turned back to him.

He looked at his own reflection confused at what he'd just seen, then dark hands started to surround his body, but when he tore his eyes away startled he looked around him at everything was normal.

Looking back down to check again the lake was gone and instead he was in a different place entirely and infront of him kneeling down, huffing and panting was the young man who he had seen in the lake.

At the same time Uriel had appeared just as he vanished catching only a glimpse of the man before he was taken away.

"Hmm so it was a person and a celestial at that.., I know where you're going friend, I'll meet you there." Uriel said to himself wonder just who could've held such strong aura, it felt familiar but he couldn't place it.

"Who.. are.. you.., how.. did you get here.?.? Wait no, where did the lake go?.?." The man was left confused but the sequence of events.

"OH THANK GOD, HAHA.. I'M ALIVE!.!. SCREW YOU MUTT, I SURVIVED!.!." The young man dismissed his armor changing it back into his aura.

"Mutt..., what the hell are you talking about. Wait this is Kaden I recognize this field. Who the hell are you and how did you bring me here."

"Oh sorry had a little moment there haha. My name is Kylan you can call me Kai, and didn't you bring me here, you know... earned my chance to further awaken.. you know divine stuff."

"Huh, you're not my usual angel. She off today or somethin, anyway couldn't have called at a better time. One you saved my life, two I've got people I've got to get stronger than so I can make sure I don't get killed."

"Hey kid, are your ears made of fuckin bricks, what the hell are you talking about.?. I didn't call you, and aren't you from the mortal realm how did you get here.?." He said getting a little frustrated.

"Yes you did call me otherwise I wouldn't be here, I can't just enter this place whenever I want. You must be new or something, look the angel lady usually calls me here says I've earned my way to the next stage or whatever, then gives me a trail to complete so I can awaken."

Kai said as he dusted himself off and stood up, as he began to walk forward he froze feeling a huge energy coming their way. Looking behind the man he saw no one but felt the pressure behind him instead, he tried as hard as he could but every muscle in his body wouldn't move.

"Ah there you are, what a surprise, young Starr, I figured it was you. I'm not going to ask how you got out but I will say you indeed have grown a lot, Sirius."
