I open my eyes. I almost blinded by light. I slowly move my toes. Little by little moving my body. Beeping sound of machine. Different sound of footsteps.
“You finally awake. It means you are fully recovered.” A woman wearing doctor’s uniform.
“Yes. I guess. How long I am sleeping?” I slowly moving up from the healing capsule.
“Well for almost two hours. What make you so special?”
“Special? Huh. What do you mean by that?” I can finally see her face. Her long, curly, brown hair.
“For your information. We only use the healing capsule for life threatening injuries or diseases. In your situation you have few scratches and fatigue. Days of rest are enough for you to recover.”
“Thank you, Ms. Zyne for taking care of me. It was not my personal decision. The council decides it.” Showing her a friendly smile.
She did hesitate to show her distrust.
“Well,
“A delusion that we needed in time of chaos. Losing hope is worse than death. Hope is the spark that can ignites a broken soul.” “You always sound as a philosopher to me. A rebel or innovator, what will you became?” “It depends on what my leader asks from me.” “Leader? Are you not contented with Mr.Mechanic?” I am little bit surprise in how our conversation progress. “Yes. A leader who is more than its role. It is the only way we can change the system. He should embody our dream. The promise of our future.” “It is sound that you are asking to much. Human had own weaknesses. Leadership opens to unlimited temptations. It will be hard to find such leader. Not in our time.” “May I inform you that some member of Visionaries already set their eyes on you.” “What are you talking about? A mutiny? I will never agree in your plan. Visionaries could not get any advantage in changing its leadership. It is not the right time. I am not who you think I am.” I already rising my voice. Giving e
Without opportunity, their abilities would have been wasted, and without their abilities, the opportunity would have been arisen in vain.The PrinceI know that there is nothing I can do about my present situation. Yes. I know I fall into their trap. I need to change my strategy. I cannot run anymore. I can use this situation to my own benefit. If it needed to get my revenge, I am willing to play their game. Visionaries had its secrets. If they want me to be their pawn, so be it. Maybe it their game but I am the one who will make the rules.I keep my distance from Dean, he is busy examining the writings. I am now fully understood, he just tests my limitation. He doesn’t have any idea that he is correct in one thing. I can fully understand the writings.“Mr. Scarface, I think you need to free us. Now.”He is surprised.“What?!Do you mean you already decipher the writings.”I will not hide anymore. I am willing to fight and use people to hasten my revenge.“Yes, I do. I want to have the
No one answer me. I just leave them without saying goodbye. A turmoil between the leadership of Visionaries speaks too much of the group. The events from recent times shocked them into their inner core. I will try to distant myself for the meantime. I am sure that my action from the last meeting will make me, the last choice to replace Mr. Mechanic position. I walked to the corridor. I stopped in the window. From my position I can see the blue planet where our ancestor came from.“I did not expect to find you here.” Zyne walked closer to me.“Hmmm. I just walking around to clear my head.”“Pressured? Or you just running away from responsibilities?”“How do you know that?”She looked at me intensely. She smiled at my face. “You are so easy to read. I do not have any information, but your eyes say everything. That there something bothering you.”“I felt flattered by giving so much attention. I am not worthy of you attention.” Mocking her.“Honestly, I am not interested in you. But recen
“Yes, of course. Do not be surprised if one day you become part of it.” He is talking about the loyalist, a faction of Visionaries that believe that Mr. Bartender is the only worthy leader of visionaries. No one else.“You do not be so sure about that, there are many things needed should be consider.”“I will not stop until I convince you. I am sure if you meet my relatives, you will change your mind.” He is now walking away from him.I am looking for him from behind. He is not talking about his family affairs. Asking me straightforward, arises my suspicion. I know how Dean cunning behavior. I am sure there is something that will happen. This event can bring huge impact to the leadership of the Visionaries. Even I do not want to, I am sure that I am already involved in this plan. He will not be so persistence if he doesn’t have any valid reason.Two days later…Dean and I finally arrived in our destination. It is in the dark side of the moon. Two miles away from the city, behind the m
I could not comprehend that Mr. Mechanic has already doing his move against me.“Sorry that I suspect you. I thought you just want to use me as your pawn . To get the leadership of Visionaries.”“I only answering to the clamor of the people. There are many things that you should know about Mr. Mechanic evil deeds.”“You mean that you are planning this for a long time.”“Yes, but because I have no evidence against him. I have no choice but keep silent about this for a long time. Your openly admission of interest in his position, make him to act recklessly. I only needed to wait for him, in contacting Minister Aidelb.”“I needed to admit that I never suspected him as the spy. It only means for a very long time we our dancing in his palm.”“We are become a fool. And because of our foolishness, we lost Mr. Bartender.” I can sense the regrets in his voice.<
“You still thinking how you can evade in becoming a leader of Visionaries. It is not your decision to make. If the Visionaries, ask for it. You left no choice but to obey or be treated as our enemy. I admit, You had more followers than anyone in the council. Maybe I want it or not. You had a big chance to be our next leader.”“Did you already change your mind? Giving me high hopes. You sound like your brother, convincing me.”“No. I am stating the fact here. Sorry for make you think that I already change my mind about you. I am still your greatest critic. That is my role. Even you accept the position or not. No one can change my mind. I still don’t trust you. I will not forget that you are an outsider, a former member of Atheos.”“What make you hate me that much? Did I done something that hurt you?” I finally told her about this. This thought makes me awake at the middle of the night. Thinking that my brother
As Zyne told me about I cannot escaped anymore. I have no choice but to accept the position. I won the election. As circumstances is now offering, I need to use this position to my advantage. In some point we had similar goal but different in how think we can achieve our goal. I am now, standing in front of the crowd. They eagerly waiting for speech as new true leader of Visionaries. “I would like to thank everyone in giving me this opportunity to serve. As an outsider I never dream that you will put in this delicate position. It is well-known that this position demand more than skills and abilities. But the more important the willingness to sacrifice our personal desire, ambition and even our very own life. In attaining our goal. To destroy the system who enslaves us. Atheos who steal our dreams and future. Allow me to ask for help. I needed your cooperation in order to make this promise into a reality.”Everybody is clapping they’re hands, and a loud cheer were coming from the crowd
Dean you are making me laugh. You think highly of this man. What you know about him? You never know him enough to trust him. What have you done? You let an outsider to rule the visionaries. How you can be sure that he does not different from me?” He is trying to attack me.“It is not you to decide. We already made the decision.” Dean could not believe even in his last hour, how arrogant Mr. Mechanic acts.“Dean stops trying to persuade him. There is nothing left for him. Visionaries does not deserve a member like. A total disgrace for the cause.” I finally turned my back at him.I can still hear Mr. Mechanic voice. He is shouting. “Do not trust him. You do not know what he is capable to do. He is only using the group for his personal vendetta.”I am surprised in Mr. Mechanic last words. I act like it does not affect me. I need to conduct deeper investigation about the secret connection between Atheos and Visionaries. I could not let someone like Mr. Mechanic infiltrate our group.“I w
