Book 1 Ender Ascending

Even Gods Age Eventually

Matthew's P.O.V

When I awoke the next morning I could tell that it hadn't been an easy night, both my head and my back ached as if I had been in a couple of dozen bar fights but when I looked around there was no sign of Mitchell, then I remembered the girl we had saved the night before so I made my way towards the medical bay to check on her. When I arrived just as I expected she was still asleep so I decided to leave her alone knowing that when her body was ready she would wake up and instead decided to go and look for Mitchell.

I looked all over the factory from the quantum assemblers to the reactor room yet he was no where to be found, he always did have a talent for being else where when he was needed. I then set to work on the new designs I was working on for the company, we were looking into a way to make reactors fifteen percent more efficient and be able to run for longer with having to change the fuel rods, not a second after I sat down at my desk I heard the other worldly noise that meant Mitch had returned but then I saw him, he was pale and shaking with an expression of pure pain on his face, this had been happening more and more and we both knew that it meant he was getting old. "Once second buddy, I've got you" I reassured him as I reached for my Klien star*. After I managed to release the power back into him his face eased and he collapsed to the floor. "Thanks" he said whilst catching his breath. "Where the hell have you been that you used so much of your power!" I yelled at him. Mitch may have been an ancient warrior from the Great War but he was old now and his powers would fade from time to time. " I was tracking that scum bag from last night. I managed to follow the scent of his glow flower extract he had." Mitch said trying to stand but collapsing back onto the ground. "Here let me help you" I said whilst lifting him to his feet. "How is the girl?" Mitch asked me with a look of genuine concern which shocked even me as I had never seen him take such an interest in someone. "She's fine and if you don't mind me asking why do you care?" I ask him hoping that he doesn't take offence to it but he didn't even seem to register the question so I decided to leave it there.

*time jump of 3 hours*

Mitch was looking better now he had his usual colour back in him and was able to support himself on his own now, but the girl still hasn't woken up. "Right I am going waking her up" Mitch suddenly says standing up and making his way to the medical bay. "You sure that is a good idea?" I say catching up to him, "well we need to know about her, someone may be worried sick about her and also the glow flour toxin should be all neutralised by now" he says as we arrive at the medical bay and. Mitch walked up to her and placed his hand on her head and all he had to do was say the the words "wake up" and then as if it was a magic trick suddenly sat bolt up right and looked at me and Mitch. "Hello sweetheart" Mitch said in a gental voice. "How you feeling?" He asked in the same voice. "I.I.I'm feeling okay, who are you" she said shaking, the poor girl must be terrified. "My name is Mitchell and this here is my friend Matthew" Mitch said gesturing toward me. "Hello, we were wondering what your name was" I say introducing myself with a small wave. "Jess, my name is jess. What happened last night?" She asked with obviously no memory of the previous night. "I Adam sorry to tell you but someone tried to rape you last night, luckily we got to you in time to stop it but he had poisoned you so we brought you back here to cure you. Do you have any idea of where here is? Mitch asks her being as supportive as possible. "The last thing I remember is I was near the inertia club and then I got speaking to a man named James then I woke up here" she said getting quieter as the sentence went on until the last few words were barley above a whisper. "Well don't worry you are safe now" I said. "Welcome to vepoxx industries medical centre as it is getting on in the evening I shall go and prepare food, you must be hungry" I said making my way to the kitchen, Mitch following me and Jess began to change out of the hospital robes we had put her in. When food was ready it was a basic cod and baked potato as that is all that was available. After the meal Mitch said he was going to work on assembler number 3 and I decided to walk Jess home. We walked into the residential area of Mistrel city and when we reached Jess' house she turned to me and said "I owe you and Mitch my life, thank you." And kissed me on the cheek leaving me stood there as she proceeded to walk into her house. I then began my journey to my house. So many thoughts were going through my head and most of them were about her, a girl I haven't known for more than a day. I hope I get to see her again is all could think to myself.

Mitch's P.O.V
I can feel myself becoming weaker with each passing day, I once had the power to wipe out armies now I am struggling with containing the beast within me. It has to be my age, all living things should die and I have been here for over a millennium, sometimes I think you can live too long. But at least I have my friends Matt and Josh. After I finished my work at the factory I decided to contact one of the last witches in the realm and see if she could look into my powers, she came not half an hour after I reached out to her mind with mine, when she arrived she looked to be late twenties but I knew she was at least a hundred years old. "Wiken Monica, can you see what is wrong with me?" I ask her after making us tea. I have been in contact with the witches of this realm for centuries meaning that they help me when I need it. "Oh great warrior, Your body is getting old, no mortal being should live as long as you have. You are old enough to have seen the creation of gods and the destruction of empires. Your body cannot withstand the stress that your magic puts upon it and and the daemon that resides inside your body is not aiding you either" she said to me with sadness in her eyes. "Well is there anyway that I can stop it, I mean there is so much that I need to do" I ask her, I can't be dying I have got to have been created for so much more than killing? She looks at me with a solom face and shook her head "I am sorry oh ancient one there is nothing we can do, you have a few decades left though" she said it and looked upset for me. Once she finished her tea I thanked her and escorted her out. My life has to have more meaning, I know it must, I can feel it!
