Horned Dawnbringer

Fruit harvested long ago, last leaf joins the autumn wind.

Something is definitely watching me now, I could sense it. Yvette entered the room after my head cleared.

[??? Arkantos-Destaria colonies, unknown location.]

I wasn't able to believe what I saw...

Amelia Nygaard's daughter was identified. Yvette.. This world remembers her as a 10 year old girl following her mother's footsteps, kidnapped before hell broke loose, was the last we heard of her.

A shaky, nervous voice murmured "Hey! You should go back to bed."
She gave a snarky reply which filled me with astonishment.

A renegade scientist was right next to her, her works were wrongfully kept secret and this information hidden from us will be public soon. Theresa McLink, you know not of what trouble you put yourself in. Especially since you're the husband of that godforsaken scientist.

Lastly.. the Olathian man who was thought to be murdered.. do we wish to change the sentence of the pitiful scientist that I recently fired? Heheh.. I have an even better idea of what will happen to you, Benny Oberwinch.

I moved the drone closer to the window, an active conflicting conversation was afoot of which the mics picked up.

I wasn't able to pick up much from a dismayed cry of a private regaining consciousness, but focused my attention after giving him a mindblast, to which he ended up unconscious again.

"Guys.. there's something outside!"

"What the hell are you talking about, there nothing outside, is your schizophrenia acting up again Benny?" Yvette replied, holding her cup... it may be a cradle robber thing of me.. but, I don't know about her.. she's pretty cute.. perhaps it's my time to remarry huh?

"No Yvette!" Everyone else looked confused, perhaps our little revenant can see this drone huh?

Her anger builds up, as I watched what began to unfold.. speaking into my cellphone I smiled.

"I found who we're looking for, and a few more."

"Give the location."

I gave the coordinates, "Northeastern Olathe, Greater Leeway-Arkantos south district? Got it?"

Looking behind me, I noticed the privates waking up. I readied my mindblast rod, but put it away in pity.

[???]

Wait.. Is that Asryl? The Founder of Spectra Foundation of Natural Sciences and Engineering?

My head ached, as the ringing in my ears began to subside. He brandished what I thought was a pregnancy test at first.. that reminds me..

My now ex girlfriend send me a photo a week ago of her pregnancy test.. I've been away for three months, stationed in this wasteland, far away from Osaka, Japan, where I grew up, though I was often teased for how I looked, since most of my family is from Africa... that's against the point but my ex was trying for a while.. She's two weeks pregnant, though I was here for 3 months..

That's how she's now my ex. What's worse was she called me her chocolate boy as she dumped me.

I snapped back into reality, "see you in two hours, Yvette." He murmured right before he vanished into thin air.

He quickly walked out of the room, but before, addressed me by my actual name which I don't wish to disclose, and told me not to say anything.

I looked to the screen to a young, Caucasian man taking off in a burst of fear. The others were rather confused, but a woman I recognized to be our ally, and our first hand researcher, run after him.
Asryl, or should I say Edward Yado, you should stay away from our research, and try to keep peace.

I decided not to follow them, since someone saw my drone and moved on to the next area.

I noticed my fellow comrads began to regain consciousness. As they got back to their computers, I told them of the coordinates of where Edward was snooping around and tell them to avoid that area.

"Who the hell's Edward?" One of them asked. I gave them a sideways loook.

"Ooohh! That guy! That guy has something a tad bit off of him, don'cha think?" She resumed eating her garden onion potato chips and went back to work.

I stood there like a deer frozen in the headlights as I saw what I thought was a raven at first approach the window.

My vision cleared in the direction to the blinding sunrise, and there..

A small flying machine that of the likes I've never seen approached the window.

Yet.. my senses picked something on this small machine.. it gave me a grave feeling that I was being watched.

Something glittered upon it, I knew whwt it was.. and now, my instincts were screaming for me to run as static and darkness began to close into this cold room.

The two things I can hear were my heart pounding within my ears and static creeping ever closer to me.

Just like that, as primal as a rabbit running from a coyote, I noticed I was running without even thinking of it.

Where I was running to, I wasn't sure, but within seconds I found myself within an unfamiliar section of the wasteland..

Vast pines towered over me, as the gravel and podzoil forested floor began to shift..

Was I even running anymore?

I found myself stopping, and as I did so I.. I..

To this day I don't even know if that forest is real, I feel as I may have collided into the cold forest floor.

Back into this void.. unsure of what's going on, I began to hear unfamiliar voices.

A strange tugging sence went throughout my body, as I felt my grip from the icy ground vanish.

[???]

Think you could escape us huh? We got you now.. along with the rest of em.

I can't believe that mindblast rod worked in that distance. Just a small white rod can hold so much power..

Thank you Asryl.

I will be bringing your subject to you, my dearest love.

Yet, hopefully I don't fall under this man's luck, when it comes to teleportation...

I guess we'll find out.

I'm too pretty to die anyway.
