The Cosmos's Strongest

Ch 2 - The Wheel Of Destiny

In a dark room a naked boy could be seen covering his exposed parts.

When the smoky hand touched him, he was suddenly enveloped by the dark smoke and the next thing he saw was complete and utter darkness.

The room had only one source of light, the screens of the monitors. He looked at the monitors, and could barely see the contents of the videos being displayed but he could see a little bit. The colour red, was emitted from each of the monitors.

He didnt give much attention to the monitors and started to look around the room.

Just a minute ago he was in the hospital room, bedridden and now he was in an endless dark room which had nothing but a couple of monitors and a chair.

He squinted his eyes and saw a person sitting on the chair. The chair was so big that he didnt notice a person was sitting on it.

He noticed that a person was sitting on the chair but didnt go near the chair as he was still scared.

After a minute or two the chair turned towards the boy who was still trying to cover his private parts.

The person who was sitting on the chair wasnt the hideous dark figure but a handsome man with platinum hairs.

The man looked so handsome when the boy couldnt even see the man properly due to the poor lighting, then how handsome would that man be when he could see the man perfectly, in a good lighting.

The man was clad in all black clothing but his skin was very fair, so fair in fact that it seemed to radiate its own light.

The boy's expression turned from fear to confusion as he thought 'Is this the same dark figure that killed Esther?'

He wasnt stupid, so he figured out that the dark figure he had seen in his house, was the one who had killed his foster mother in such a gruesome way.

When he saw the dark figure in the hospital, he thought that the dark figure had come to kill him just like his foster mother, he thought it was his turn to die but instead he found himself standing naked in this weird dark room which seemed to stretch endlessly.

The man who was sitting on the chair started walking, making the boy take a step back unconsciously, but he remained standing in the same place as he knew running away wouldnt do anything.

The boy toughened up with the last remaining courage he had left within him after such an event and waited for anything that was going to happen next.

The man stopped when he found himself two feet away from the boy.

The boy was a few inches smaller in height compared to the man so his head was slightly looking up and his eyes were staring straight into the eyes of the man.

He was a bit scared when the man started approaching him but when he saw the purple eyes that were glistening with white spots in them, he became calm. It was as if he forgot the events that had transpired.

The eyes that he was staring into right now were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

The boy was brought out of his gaze when the man spoke "Stop staring at my eyes, it feels uncomfortable."

He was a bit surprised when the man spoke, and that too like any other person but he became even more shocked when he heard the man talking in such a friendly voice.

The boy was now out of his thoughts about the man's eyes, had become aware of the weight of the situation as he asked "Who are you?"

The man replied almost immediately "I am a dark walker."

"Whats that?"

"I will tell you later."

The boy didnt fret on it too much, he had no leverage over the man so he couldnt do anything to the man. He wanted to know what a dark walker was but he just cant, if the man disagrees. He went straight on to the next question "Who was that hideous looking dark figure?"

"Me" the man told without much explanation. The boy didnt pry too much so he just kept on asking.

"What were you doing in my house?" The boy asked as if it was the main question.

"Okay then let me tell you, as a dark walker, my job is to watch over your planet and to get rid of any disturbances. which, unfortunately had appeared in your house so I went to check it, thats it." He answered the first time with explanation.

The boy went into a few seconds of deep thinking until he asked his final question "Why did you bring me here?"

The man too, went into a few seconds of thinking and then answered "Because you saw me. How many people do you think, in your world say that they saw a dark figure forming out of dark smoke?"

"None" the boy answered

"Thats right, we are not supposed to make our existence be known to any inhabitant of the planet we are watching over, not even the slightest information." The man added

After that, the room went silent for a couple of minutes. The boy was trying to put some pieces of information together to figure out some things that the man didnt explain, until his deep thinking was cut off by a voice. "You can think all you want afterwards, I dont have free time lying around. Since you know of my existence, I cant let you return to your world."

Right after he said that, dark smoke started to rise from his hands and in no time a spinning wheel appeared from within the smoke "This is the wheel of destiny. Its just as the name suggests, your destiny will depend upon this wheel.

Spin the wheel and wait till it stops. The destiny at which the pointer is pointing at, will be your destiny. So dont waste my time and spin the wheel, fast." He said in an impatient voice.

The boy hearing how impatient the man was, spinned the wheel without even checking the different types of destinies that were present on the wheel.
