The untold prophecy

A four-legged man comes to pick us up from a barren wasteland.

We are about 20 minutes from reaching at sector 40 when I asked for the fifth time "Are we there yet?".

Just as abuelo was about to reply, Keziah interjected saying "Dude, it's been like 10 minutes in the car, why are you so impatient?".

Then I mimicked her with a high-pitched voice "Dude, it's been like 10 minutes in the car, why are you still talking?".

At this point, even abuelo had to laugh as well. Then he said we had about 15 minutes left, so just to hang on tight.

After we got there, what I saw opened a gate full of memories, most were from my dream, some were things that I remember. The first memory that came to me was when I was 2.

*Flashback

It was a nice clear night; my parents had some people come over. There seemed to be something wrong, there was tension in the air. I could feel it, even in my 2-year-old body. After what seemed like hours someone broke the silence, he was shouting. My parents were surprisingly calm and replied calmly. (No, not like the "dumbledore said calmly" but the proper calm). The man and woman he was with, got really angry. I remember very clearly what he said. He said, "You two are no use to us anymore", and turned to the woman and said, "Dispose of them".

Then the man walked away, the woman stayed, panic was in the air, my parents frantically trying to reason with her. My parents said to leave me alone and kill them instead. The woman disagreed. She wanted me dead as well. Of course, my parents wouldn't go die down with a fight. First my dad died. My mum called my uncle Fernando. The same uncle that died a couple weeks ago. He was upstairs, he was upstairs because he wasn't supposed to be here. When my uncle came down, my mother was shot dead, the woman slowly turning to me. Before she could do anything, my uncle threw a glass vase at the woman. It knocked the woman out, then my uncle ran towards me, telling me it's okay, and that I'm safe now. then he took me to his home and was living with him ever since, well... until the last couple of weeks.

End of flashback

"Will, get out of the car, we are here", my abuelo said.

As we walked through the alleyways of sector 40, weird sounds could be heard. My grandpa said to ignore it. But when you are in a dark alleyway, near the same place your parents were killed and you hear weird noises, you tend not to ignore it, but what should I know, I am only prophesised to defeat the lord of the universe. Keziah was really quiet during the walk through the alleyways, so I decided to prank her. I stayed behind for a second to do my shoelace and when Keziah was decently far away, I creeped up behind her, and yelled "AGRHRRRGHRHRHRRHRHRH!"

Her reaction was phenomenal, you could literally see the terror in her face. As my grandpa and I were laughing our heads of. We finally stop to see a disgruntled Keziah saying "Ha, ha, very funny, next time we are in a dark alley in the middle of the most crime ridden sector in the world, please remind me to make a scary noise to an unexpected victim!" she exclaimed sarcastically, then she moved down the alley way, probably muttering curses under her breath.

It took us another 5 minutes to get to our place. When we reach there, nothing really seems special, there's not even a wall to walk into or even a pine tree to go past! There is just a barren wasteland. "Uhhh... abuelo? Are you sure this is the right place?" I ask nervously. My abuelo looks at the map, he looks up, he looks back down again. He continues to do this for the next 5 minutes. During the next 5 minutes I sit down on a really red rock and question my life choices. Thinking, what if I just said "Nope, not today", when I first heard the prophecy. After what seemed like hours because of my ADHD, my abuelo finally said "Yes, this is the right place, but... we just need to find a really red rock, the rock will tell us what to do."

I look at the red rock I'm sitting on and think to myself "That wasn't hard". Abuelo notices I'm sitting on the rock and tells me to get up in Spanish so he can examine the rock for clues. So, I get up and naturally being the best kid in the world, I try to annoy Keziah as much as I can. She says to back off or she will turn my body inside out. The thing that pains me is that every moment of my time spent with her, is that she reminds me more and more of Nyssa. Just as I make a comeback my abuelo asks Keziah to behave and asks me to come here. "Look Will, morse code, now frankly, I don't have a clue what it is saying, but I know you know morse. I want you to decode this." He tells me.

For those of you who don't know what morse code is, well... search it up, its to complicated to tell you the full history of it. But... I can tell you that morse code originally was told through sound: a dot meaning a short tap, a dash meaning a long tap. This was however changed when we inhabited mars. Don't ask me why, we just did. Anyways, morse code was a lot more used in Mars, though, still not many people used it. Most people who learned it would forget it sooner or later, only people who were extremely nerdy actually remembered this. Thankfully, I was one of the few nerdy people in sector 227. Back to the story though.

my grandpa showed me the code, and this is what it looked like (oh, and by the way, the zeros are just ways to know there is a space between the sentences.)

.-.. --- --- -.- 0 ..- -. -.. . .-. -. . .- - .... 0 - .... .. ... 0 .-. --- -.-. -.- --..-- 0 -.-. .-.. .. -.-. -.- 0 - .... . 0 .-. . -.. 0 -... ..- - - --- -. --..-- 0 ... --- -- . --- -. . 0 .-- .. .-.. .-.. 0 -.-. --- -- . 0 .- -. -.. 0 -.-. --- .-.. .-.. . -.-. - 0 -.-- --- ..- --..-- 0 .-- . .-.. -.-. --- -- . 0 - --- 0 - .... . 0 -.-. .- -- .--. 0 --- ..-. 0 - .... . 0 --. .. ..-. - . -.. .-.-.-

This is what it translated to:

look underneath this rock, click the red button, someone will come and collect you, welcome to the camp of the gifted.

Yes, I know so many dots and dashes for just 3 lines, but that's just morse code, and now that I think about it, this is probably the main reason why morse code died down.

I told my grandpa that it said to check under the rock for a red button, and that we should click it and wait for someone to collect us to this so called "camp of the gifted".

"Ok Will, get ready and Keziah, as soon as I lift this rock up and press the red button, say adios to barren land and say hola to your new training camp!" he said elatedly.

Surprisingly, my grandpa is still, decently strong since it only took him a few tries to lift the rock up without our help, after he got the rock out of the way, he looked at the button. Its smooth red body of plastic, covering the not so dangerous wires underneath. He looked at us with an unusual amount of enthusiasm, then he pressed it.

For a second, nothing happened. But then, a huge ship popped out of nowhere in the sky. It was dark blue, with a very aerodynamic shape. To be honest, it kind of looked like an eagle. There were no visible propellors, so it looked like as if it was just floating there. No noise came out of it, and before I knew it, the ship was on the ground. A man or what I thought was a man came up to us and asked "Well, well, well... look what we have here, you're Leo's son aren't you?"

I was shocked, for two reasons. The first reason was the fact that the man had 4 legs. The other was the fact that he knows my father. I didn't ask questions because I was already overwhelmed by the fact that the man had four legs, so I just nodded and said "Y-yes".

The man looked at me and Nyss- Keziah and then to my grandpa and says "So these are the ones, eh? Well then, hop on board." 

also sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I was a little busy, so, again, sorry.
