Tobi Taiwo had always wondered, why he was able to converse with himself.

As if there were two voices in his head.

He walked back from the grocery store, thinking about the quote he would have to sell, to make his bills.

He turned a corner entering a small shortcut through a forest, towards his apartment.

It had been too long since he had left Ottawa, he thought.

He really needed a vacation.

Out of the blue, from head to toe, a tall black man, with blue eyes and a scar on his left cheek, appeared.

Dressed in a black and purple sleek carbon fibre looking bodysuit.

With a large longsword, on his back.

"Are you Tobi Taiwo."

The man says.

Scared, Tobi took a step back.

"Who's asking?"

The man took a step forward.

"Do not be alarmed, my name is Osei and I am your older brother."

Tobi replied back.

"You're lying, I've got three younger siblings. and that's it."

"I know... We've never officially met, but 20 years ago, I had to conduct an operation on your mother, giving her serum that would fuse my unborn sibling, with your mothers child before birth."

Tobi's eyes grew wider as he heard that.

"You what!"

Unable to believe what he had just heard, Tobi just started walking away.

Osei, called out to him.

"I know it was unforgivable, but it was all for a good reason and you're no longer safe here."

Tobi kept on walking away, but yelled back.

"Look, I don't know you, nor want anything to do with you. I just don't want to hear anything more about this!"

Osei, sighed and with a blue of electricity appeared in front of Tobi.

Before Tobi could react, with one hand hovering over his chest, Osei shocked him with thousands of volts.

Tobi dropped, dizzy, with a short seizure.

Then he stopped.

It was quiet, except the occasional birds chirping.

"You ok?"

Osei said, a little worried.

Tobi's eyes shot wide open.

As he got up, He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Through his vision, he saw the flow of energy in all living things around them, zig zagging around like circuits.

In trees, animals, insects and even Osei.

Static electricity starting crackling all around them.

Frost started forming on the ground and trees.

Rocks rose and collided against each other splitting up into tiny pieces.

The ground around them started forming cracks.

Followed up by tree branches close to them catching fire.

Osei noticed the destruction and with one hand out towards Tobi, he tried calming him.
