"Miss Cassie?" Darien's words bring me back to reality.

"Sorry...I um...what's wrong with your world?" I finally get out, raising an eyebrow at the figure on my poster.

"Originally they were called Sakti,
meaning good energy. The creatures are made up entirely of energy and were helpers in my world." Darien explained.

"Oh." I nod slowly. "Then why are they attacking your world?"

"They helped us long enough to create amazing technology, their energy bringing life to everything we made. But then something happened. Last year, one of the Sakti rose against us..they weren't our salves, and we had a mutual agreement, 'We shall use our imaginations to create, and you shall aid with your energy. Both species will benefit and evolve from the future technology.'" He quoted, sighing. "But, like I said, one of the Sakti did not want to be equal. They wanted to be above us, ruling and using us as their slaves. Well, one thing led to another and now we are in a war against them."

"Woah." My eyes widen and I look at Darien. His expression is full of exhaustion and concern. "How am I to help you?" I ask, highly confused.

"You're the only person that we've been able to reach. All that's happening may seem unreal, but you must come here." His words leave me speechless. He's really good at doing that to me.

"C-come....to an entirely different world." I get out, a shocked expression on my face. He was asking me to walk into a situation I barely new anything about and help him. I'm a teenager! How am I supposed to do anything!?

"Please. Cassie, I'm not sure if you understand any of this, but we need some of your world's technology. Your style."

"....why?" Technology?

"The Sakti know everything that we've created inside and out. The only reason we haven't created more is because they are connected with every segment, every energy on this planet. We need something different to catch them off guard and defeat them." Darien looked at me seriously, his blue eyes full of...oh I don't know, beauty? "Your technology could save my world."

Sighing, I step closer to the poster and look at him. "What kind of technology are you talking? Weapons or just everyday items?"

"Things with a power source."

"Like a phone." I state simply, pulling my phone out of my pocket.

"A phone? What is that?" Darien looked confused.

"It's an everyday, battery powered item."
