Lost Memories

It had passed three months since that weird stuff happened. But, when I got home that day, it was like a switch has unlocked a few memories of my childhood.

It was way too much information… I heard voices whispering from the shadows, I saw souls both good and evil, I had visions about people I have never met before, and I was able to travel through time and worlds by possessing someone else's body.

In addition to that, I started feeling things I used to feel when I was a kid. I could feel my body temperature rising because it made me feel like my insides were burning, I got nauseous, and I sweated a lot.

After that book, I searched about The Natural Disasters on the internet, but I couldn't find anything… every website I opened only talked about the natural disasters that is caused by changes in temperatures and climates….

Although, there was an app that popped up on one of my searches. It was called: Soul.Me

It had the intention of connecting people who might have been friends in another life.

I had to create a username to be known within the app. I chose the name I had used in a video game a couple year back: AlientMasterz. I always thought I was different from those around me, but at the same time, I could feel and see things people couldn't.

There were some websites with groups people made for the ones with same interests to join. I joined a couple.

Dating, make new friends, gaming, anime, and writing servers… writing was a therapy for me… after the breakup… I started writing song lyrics, screenplays, poems, musical plays, and books.

I've met a couple people in those servers… But when I met one in particular, I've started seeing things. I could see faces lurking in the shadows, I started having memories and having dejavus of non-human races I saw in movies and anime. I started seeing spirits again. Mostly evil ones though.

Slowly, I started to be able to handle with fire. I didn't feel pain nor got burned when I put my hand on top of a lit candle… I started being able to manipulate and generate fire, just by thinking about it.

In 2021, I discovered that I had the ability to shapeshift into a different gender or different age with different faces, I could fly, and teleport through fire.

One day, when I was at my apartment, I received a message of an old classmate wanting to talk with me about something…

A few weeks later, she went to my apartment to hang out. Her name was Sarah, she was blonde, had green eyes, and was an incredible singer. We went to the pier and sat in a table so we could talk.

"So, um… Viny, do you remember that trip I was going to do with Eduardo and some of his friends?"

"Yes, if I remember correctly, you were rather excited for it."

"I was… but it was a trick, and he shot me three times in the chest… the next thing I knew I was falling into the lake and hit my head in a rock… but a couple of hours later I could hear a woman's voice calling me… she said 'Testing… Nerissa… Can… you… hear… me? Don…. Have… mush… time… awaken…' after that… I felt an immense wave of water accumulating around me shielding me from the current. It healed all my wounds, and I was able to breathe underwater. When I opened my eyes, I was already on the bridge I had fallen from."

My face was rather blank if I'm honest.

"Have you ever heard the name Urekston before?"

"What? Um… yeh, I have… actually I think I read it in a book once."

"A Book? Was it called: The True Story behind The Natural Disasters?"

"No, it was called: Memories of Water."

"Interesting…"

"Let me show you something…"

She took me to the sea. We didn't enter it…

She raised her right arm above the water and twitched her hand from right to left and vice versa. A few minutes later, water was slowly building up a fountain. She looked at me and her hands moved in my direction… till, she freed her hand. All of that accumulated water dropped over me. But it evaporated before hitting me since I was able to control my body pressure again.

"Wha-. What happened?" she asked shocked.

"It evaporated." I notified.

"But how? It's not even that hot."

"Let's just say, you shouldn't have done that."

In the wrong moment, some people who were resting at the pier, went to the lower part to see where that giant water had come from. But they saw nothing. At least most of them.

A young couple walked toward us. Their eyes didn't sparkle anything. But when I looked at Sarah, her eyes were ocean blue. Which meant, she was Nerissa.

Where's is she? I wondered. Britia and I were dating in the past and we swore to be with each other forever. I've been feeling her presence within some people I dated in this annoying human form.

It took a while, but my reawakening was complete. Thanks to Rose. I should probably give her something when I find her… kinda hard since she's always on a run. I thought as I watched those lower lives approach us.

I didn't sense any danger in them but honestly, if magic was extremely rare millenniums ago, it should be worse now with more humans around.

Urgh… what's taking so long? For some reason, they were walking in slow motion. They were like a human snail. The guy had dark brownish black hair, brownish black eyes, caramel white skin which indicated he was a Latino, such as this human body I'm stuck with, and he was wearing a beach outfit.

Meanwhile, his wife had a long straight black hair, black eyes, a paler tone of caramel white skin, she was an American born of Colombian parents.

"Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Katelyn, and this is my husband João. We were traveling around the world when we sensed your awakening." They finally arrived near us with a mysterious glare.

"What do you mean by: sensed your awakening?" I asked.

"We are from an organization called Disastrous Academy with the objective to train creatures with a potential for accessing their magic power. We are from an elite group assigned with the task of spotting the Natural Disasters awakening and take them to our base. The leader of this organization is Lady Rosemary Pea."

"Rose huh? A bit hard to believe there are any creatures with supernatural abilities now-a-days. How do I know you are not trying to trick us into a trap?"

"Lady Rose told us you would be wary. She asked us to give you this in case you didn't believe us."

She inserted her hand inside her bag and took out a candle. The candle had a blue flame which was a type of message that was used as a way of communication between Ag, Rose, and I. especially since we were the only ones who were able to see it.

"I see. So, where is your base located?" I asked.

"Does the name Council of Kingdoms ring any bell?"

"Yes, if I recall, it was where a representative of each kingdom went to discuss matters with each other. The secret library that no one had the knowledge of how to get to."

"Well, Rose said that when you went missing, she contacted The Red Queen, and she gave her the location and the key."

"Um… How do we get there?" Sarah asked.

They took us to the stone wall near the staircase where water was dripping from a tube forming a waterfall. Katelyn opened her purse and took out some kind of dust. She put some dust in her hand and spilled it on the waterfall making it open wider and turn into a strange looking portal.

I stepped inside the watery gate. I looked around as I saw a tall medieval building where vines covered up the walls. It truly was an abandoned library. As I ambled through the hallways I felt like some type of royalty. There were different individuals dressed in black cloaks kneeling down as Sarah and I sauntered by.

I looked ahead and there were six wooden chairs sitting on top of a quartz platform. Suddenly, I heard some heavy doors opening, revealing a Japanese girl dressed in a long stylish dress mixed with green tones and a purple palette, fifteen-year-old twins wearing monochromatic hoodies and joggers, and an American boy using a cropped shirt and shorts.

As the lower forms bowed down, all of us walked towards those wooden chairs. Those chairs were made by combining Sakura tree wood as the base plus combining creation magic and elemental container.

 We lined up by the order we were used to – oldest to youngest – starting from left to right. We sat down on the chair and instantly, the chairs changed shape. Ikius' chair turned into a wooden art like throne, with vines tangled across the throne and using petals to form a pillow. My chair burst into flames creating a dark flame throne, it was rather comfortable since I was able to change the temperature between hot and cold.

Britia's seat disappeared, it was like he was sitting in plain air. Nerissa's became water mounted to form a throne. Kage's was made of a combination of shadows, and Runter's was a ghostly throne.

A couple minutes after we sat down… a bright light surrounded us. It had made our appearance change. We looked like our old selves…
