When I woke up this morning I was a normal guy, on his way to the airport for a trip to the Maldives. Now I'm standing in a metal chamber with a red ring over my head. Red better mean no trace found. The door wheezed open and one of the guards asked me to follow him.
He brought me to a small room, Interview, said the sign on the door. It looked more like the interrogation room. A table, two chairs, a glass wall and cameras in every corner. The guard said I wasn't being held on suspicion of bombing, in fact my scan was clean. He said the machine gave an unknown error, so the bigwigs wanted to talk to me.
I sat in the room for an hour before I was restless. How long is this going to take? When I checked with the guard he said the guys who want to meet me had to fly in. The bigwigs showed up, all suits and ties with arrogant smiles like my boss. One of them looked important, an old guy in his 40's, the other 3 like techs. The old guy sat down in the other chair, the techs opened their briefcase computers in front him, he nodded at the screens, then smiled at me.
"Hello Aura."
"Man I don't know any Auras. When can I go?"
The guy just sat there silently staring at me for five minutes.
"Listen, I'm just a guy who wants to enjoy his two weeks on the beach with babes."
"That's not nice. At least say hi." The old guy got up and walked over to my side. He leaned against the table waiting. Before I could say anything, he indicated to one of the guys, who handed him a glove.
"I posed a question to a few scientists and this is the response they came up with. It's crude, like everything else about them. But, it gets the job done. I can account for the pain it inflicts."
He leaned down and looked me in the eyes. "Well, what say you Aura?"
"Dude I don't know any Aura."
These guys had to be crazy, it's like he wasn't hearing me. He smiled at me for a moment before reaching his hand into my stomach. I screamed. The pain was unbearable, it felt like he was tearing me apart from the inside. For a second I left my body then I was pulled back in.
"Do not harm my vessel!"
There was a loud crack and gust of hot air, I heard the guys in the room cry out along with several thuds, pieces of the roof had come down on us. When I opened my eyes, the ghost image of a woman stood in front of me. She was seven feet tall, dressed in some kind of armor and holding a spear. She was facing the man, he stared at her with a big grin on his face as he dusted his clothes.
"Hello sister. You're still injured I see."
"Leave my vessel be."
"I can't do that, you've been meddling in our affairs again."
"Your only task is to revive the king."
"Even if we revive him, all he does is sleep. He will wake only when it amuses him, and he has only done so twice. We followed him to this world and have been stuck here for years! As long as we do not revive him, we control this world."
The frick is going on right now. The man went on ranting, the woman just stared at him. The other guys in the room hadn't gotten up after the blast, I can only hope they weren't dead. As I was wondering about the penalty for murder, the woman's voice echoed in my mind. Child your life is in danger. I will leave you a bit of power. Adapt to it, while I delay him. My body went hot like I was boiling, when it stopped a weird symbol was burned on my hand.
"What of Bal'an."
"He needs his generals, but they've been dealt with. We are unchallenged, apart from your attempts. This is the last of your kin, you've nowhere else to hide."
"What of the other 21?"
"In Siberia with the king, under the ice."
"This child's family?"
"Purged."
-
"You killed my family!"
Silence child. Put your mind to your actions when you leave here. They will hunt you.
"This isn't my fight. Don't get me caught up in your mess. They own the world, why you can't just join them. They're your family, you should stick with them and leave me out of it."
I am your progenitor, whether or not I chose you as my vessel, they would have killed you and your family.
"Give me my life back!"
...If you wish to be free, give him my core and he may release you.
-
"How do I give you her core?"
"You concede without fighting, smart man. You can go far in life, if you join us."
"Just take her core and fuck off."
The old guy laughed, adjusted the glove and reached his hand into my stomach again. The pain was worse than earlier. My nerves, veins, skin, everything felt like it was being torn apart. A fire burned where he was reaching, I knew the moment he grabbed the core. Fiery shockwaves pulsed through me as memories flashed before my eyes. They say your life flashes before your eyes when you're dying, but these weren't my memories. I saw everything, their war, how they came to our planet, when they tried to kill her, others fighting them under her direction. This shit's been going on for centuries. The last memory didn't fade, it kept repeating, a planet blowing up. God they want to blow up the planet, then use the energy from the explosion to generate a gate to go home. If they blow up the world I'm still fucked.
I grabbed the old man's hand before he could pull the core out. Before I could sock him Aura severed his arm. The guy didn't cry out or grab his arm, he just shook the rest of it like it shaking off water.
"Still resisting till the end I see. Fine. Let's have one more game of cat and mouse."
