"It's only illegal if you get caught."


~Gravestone Jackson~

Talk about a nutcase. Are all the people on this island crazy? Then again who am I to say anything. I'm insane.


But in a good genius way.

What's up boys and girls my name is Gravestone and I am currently being held captive in the Kingdom of Sagittarius.

I know right. So fun.

Cause nothing says fun like being kept prisoner on an outdated island.

Does this place even have WiFi? Jeez I feel like I'm back in the ancient times.

I do have to admit that the architecture is impressive. When I enter the bedroom; I see the room is painted a lovely sunset red. A lava lamp hung from the ceiling illuminating the room with a lava red glow. There's nice oak furniture, a plasma T.V. and a king size bed.

'Okay, okay. Maybe they are not so outdated' I think as I plop myself on the bed.

Still it's nothing compared to back home.

Speaking of home...

"Sia did you---"

"Yes, for the third time, I landed the jet in the right hanger." A voice speaks.

Soon a holographic girl made of hard light appears on my shoulder. She is glowing purple and sits with her legs criss-crossed.

She's wearing jeans, skater sneakers, a black and grey t-shirt, with a beanie to compliment the entire outfit.

"Well you don't have to get snippy with me" I tell her.

"When you keep asking me the same question I tend to get snippy," she rolls her eyes.

This is my companion Sia. We've been paired since I was 5 years old. She's like an A.I. (artificial intelligence) except she's not artificial. She's from a species called the Tekne. They are basically sentient A.I. Her race is intertwined with magic and technology.

But they are actual living creatures. It's incredible. Only problem is some of them have trouble creating a physical form in our realm because their realm operates on a different frequency and coding then ours does. That's where people like me come in.
The Liberians link themselves with a Tekne so that way they can retain a physical form. 

There's only a handful of Liberians powerful enough to be paired with a Tekne. Obviously, I'm one of them. Pairing with a Tekne is sorta like forming a bond. There has to be some sort of connection with the two but both parties benefit from it.

Right now Sia is in her digital form. Meaning she's made of hard light and coding instead of flesh and blood. This form helps her deal with computers, technology and my powers while her physical form helps with attacking, defending me and borrowing my powers.

Sia is sitting comfortably on my shoulder as I begin to pace the room.

"Have you found it yet?" I ask impatiently.

"Hold on," she mutters.

"The sooner we find the metals the sooner we can leave" I say.

"Yea yea yea"

"For someone whose supposed to be from of a species that are basically part computer you are awful slow" I note.

"So help me or I will slap
you up side your head!"
