Light and Darkness: Barimah's Odyssey

LIGHT FROM THE HEAVENS

Flint goes to the hut as he lies down waiting for his father, he keeps thinking which soon leads him to speaking.

“Cynthia is beautiful but she’s out of my league….. But if you don’t try as Dad said I won’t make any progress…... Who knows she might like me? …..No no no, look at my skinny hands, Avan is bulkier and more masculine. Chuck has his slick tongue though it gets him into trouble. What do I have? Hmmm, hmmm, hmmmm!!! Nothing! I don’t stand a chance.” he rolls on the ground. He lies back down as a pillar of light descends from the sky up over the hill opposite to the direction his dad is.

“Wooaahh, what is that? A light from heaven? I…I… I should wait but…. You know what? A quick peek, I’ll be back before dad notices I’m gone. And if he does see this light then we’ll meet there, no problems.” Flint is anxious as he gets up and leaves towards the light with a jog. He is the only one to see the light as it is evening and most of the farmers are home. He jogs for a while before arriving at the crash site. Smoke covers the place as a spaceship, about a logging truck in length, enters his sights, he didn’t know what it is.

“W….What is that?” he's anxious as he goes closer. A crest on it gets his attention, he observes the crest. The spaceship is silver in color as the crest on it seems to made of gold color. The crest is the face of a girl surrounded by stars. Outside the stars are 2 people looking at the face. 1 wearing armor and the other strange clothes (Official clothes). On top of everything is a crown colored in gold, the flag has a red background.

Flint stares at the spaceship as it opens up from the side showing inside of it. Flint, startled by the sudden movement he picks a rock.

“Hello! Any....Anyone there?” he observes as the door opens showing the interior. Flint couldn’t control his curiosity so he goes inside with caution. A barrier erects at the exit but he didn’t see it, he looks around as a ball drop from the center of the roof and floats. It scans him, A mechanical voice speaks from the ship,

“Life form detected." Flint is frightened, "Huh! What!" as the voice continues, "Life form is human. Playing recording.”

Flint held the rock hard in his hand ready to throw… or fight.

Then a hologram appears before Flint as a female figure is shown. The figure is 1.68 meters tall, plumb with athletic build, dark brown skin. Black hair is fluttering with the tips being green as a crown of moving data and runes is on the head. Red veins like circuits all over the body. The eyes are open as the sclera (White part of the eye) has a light glow. There are rings around the pupil as between the rings and the pupil are black though it glows. In the pupil of the left eye is a white clock with runes numbering it, the hands of the clock weren’t moving. The part where the black hands (Clock hands) meet at the center of the left eye is silver. The right eye has the same ring but in the pupil is a black hole with gold light bending around it. Red lightening flashing in and out of it at the center of the black hole was a symbol of lines unknown to anyone.

“Uhhhh, I didn’t prepare for this recording since I was busy with The Fallen. So here goes nothing." Flint looks at the transparent girl as he tries touching her as he whispers, "A beautiful woman?! A person?!" her voice captivates him.

"My name is Nytri Alcore Elnora, if you’re seeing this then it means the transport was a success. I’ll go straight to the point, the world you know is going to have invasion of monsters, aliens. This vessel came to the universe whose garden is soon to mature, that means your earth. I’m not from your earth but a different universe, and we managed to defeat them. Unfortunately, we realized that my universe is not the only one targeted. They have been harvesting the gardens since The Fall, millions of years ago. As it stands, we still can't find a way to send our army to hunt them due to a lot of restrictions you’re better off not knowing. This vessel has a way to increase your chances of survival, no matter what happens DO NOT FIGHT THEM. Even gods died at their hands. The Sequence Synthetic Management Data Cube or for short SSTM DC is your shot at survival. Good luck.” The recording stops as the hologram vanishes,

Flint engrossed in the sweet voice finally realizes, “Wait! Aliens?” he heard words but didn’t understand much of it. A compartment opens up as the SSTM DC, a cube of many dimensions with runes all over it floated out.

“Do you accept to install the SSTM DC in your soul space?” The mechanical voice wants confrimation. He's confused, he didn’t know what to do, so he did what anyone else would say.

“…Okay? But could y- .”

With his first respond, the cube shot into his forehead as Flint saw his vision turning blue. He moves around trying to get the blue vision back to normal as he keeps hearing sounds and voices.

“SSTM DC has docked in soul space. Commencing synchronization …. 5%.... 15% .....30%". Flint is rolling around in the ship confused and blind. "50% .....70% ....90% ......100% Synchronization complete. Activating package.”*WWIIIIINNNNGGGGG* is the sound in Flint’s ears. He loses consciousness.

A figure appears outside the ship, the figure is smallish as only it’s silhouette is visible. With a stuffed animal .

“Finally arrived. OH! Looks like someone has already taken the package, this makes my job a lot easier. I should probably hide the ship and take the kid back. If people find it, it would cause unnecessary trouble for him. You simply have to grow strong in like 200 years or more, no pressure.” The figure shakes as it becomes clearer. A cute little girl with the appearance of brown yellowy skin in a sci-fi armor. The little girl pointed at the ship as Flint floats out of it and runic circle appears below the ship. It dissipates into lights.

“What?" she's surprised by how much energy it took. "….Right, the energy density is too low so the environment tries to suck me dry. Good thing I brought a storage card.” She takes out a card, pointed it at the ship as it turns into lights and floats into the card, Flint is still floating. The little girl waves her hand as a lot of EP left her. Only a small amount is use to restore the crater, making it look like nothing happened.

Little girl gets closer to Flint as he floats, she examines him, “Now where are you from?” she puts the card on Flint’s head as it shows her his memories. Though only the basic ones about his identity and where he stays.

“I’ll borrow your face for a bit, okay Farm boy. I can’t let people suspect anything. This’ll be like a dream to you.” The girl taps Flint with the card as he also turns into light and enters the card. The girl taps herself with the card as her appearance changes to look like Flint. She rushes back like the wind and appears in the hut on the farm as Flint’s father returns.

“Flint! Are you ready?” Flint who's actually the little girl answers, “Yes father!” she/he left and joins his father as they leave, like nothing ever happened. Girl/Flint snickers behind his father as she thought, “Pretending is quite fun.”
