The Legacy Of Zion: A Fight Against Time And Reality

Chapter 1

My Name is Edward Daniel Grimm. I'm a 16 year old boy with hazel eyes and brown hair. I was born in 2001, in a indian hospital in Kolkata. My mother was indian while my father was New Yorker. Our life was beautiful until I turned 5. Father and mother had a fight and while arguing died in a fatal car crash in the Himalayas. I studied at a local school in Delhi and escaped to US when I turned 15. My guardian, my aunt was abusive and believed I was gonna rot in hell because I didn't believed in religion. I escaped to New York when I was 15 and I do a job at a town near New York called Willowvile. I was quickly loved by locals who were very nice and respected me. I work at a local library and live at a apartment near the Mayor’s office with my friend Jessica and our dog Thomas.

I woke up after someone pulled over my blanket and exposed my face to the hot sun. I woke up and glared at Jessica who had a smug face and looked pleased with herself. “You know Jessica that I will kill you if my face is tanned because of your stupidity” and kicked her causing her to fall on the toilet floor

“Edward:1 Jessica:0” I said and walked towards the kitchen. The house was clean because jessica was a cleaning freak and I sometimes thought that I will end up becoming like her.

“You know right that today is the day for rent. I'm not gonna get my paycheck before next week so pay off this time ” she said giving me a slice of toast.

The doorbell rang and Jessica went out and came back two minutes later with a huge parcel and a angry face. “Your stuff has arrived. Its a copy of ancient indian book on magic and science” “Thanks a lot”  I said and opened the parcel and took the book and began to read it. “You are really interested into ancient Arts and science right?” she asked with a smile. She was the first person to understand my love for magic and helped me with it.

“Well I guess I will drop you off to library, I got early shift” she said and went to her room to get dressed. Fifteen minutes later we were locking the door and she was chatting about her boss and how hot he was. I was wearing a shirt and a chinos with a alligator skin belt. “Stop nodding like a idiot and tell me how I look!” She snapped. I looked at her and grinned. She had blue eyes and dirty blonde hair and puffy lips. She was part Japanese and received the natural beauty of Japanese women. She wore a black coat and black pants and looked very formal and was having red lipstick and makeup. “Ah milady forgive me I was too busy watching the beautiful maiden in front of me.” I smirked when she blushed and kissed forehead. We were best friends and flirting was normal for us but sometimes she blushed too much. I walked to the car and sat at the passenger seat. She drove me me to the city library and stopped in front of it. “I will be back before 7 tonight so when you come back from work wanna watch a movie?” “sure, see you at home” and left the car and went to the library.

I went inside and walked over to the desk and sat there. The pay at the library was a lot for me and it was easy job. Nowadays most people used smartphone and tablets to read books so people rarely came to library. I sat there looking at my new book. The book was about mystical science and magic practiced by Indians. I started reading the part about dimensions and a thought struck me. If we could Manipulate dimensions we can create realities and can use energy from 4th dimension to use in 3rd dimension. I was about to read more when someone entered the library. He was jason, the town’s best soccer player. He was friendly and always helped people. He looked at me and smiled “Yo Ed, do you got kamala’s guide on soccer?”  “we sure do Jason. Isle S”  I motioned him towards the bookshelf and went back into reading my book. The rest of the day was uninteresting but I occasionally got some old people and my assistant Alfred gave me a big mac for lunch. It was 7:30 pm when we left the library and locked it. I went back to my apartment at winston street while Alfred went to his own. I went inside and spotted jessica who was setting the couch and smiled when she saw me.

After I dressed back into my pyjamas I sat at the couch and Jessica came and gave me a bowl of popcorn. “So what movie are we gonna see? Titanic?”  I joked. “The Martian” she said smirking. We ended up in each other’s embrace by the end of the movie and I was about to sleep when my phone rang. For the sake of god I can't have a day of good luck, can I? “its Edward who's this?” “Edward! I'm Alfred. Come to my apartment immediately. I got something that you must see. Its urgent!” came Alfred’s distraught voice.

I gently moved from Jessica and dressed myself with my hoodie and left in Jessica’s car. Alfred’s house was a street away so it didn't took much time to travel. When I reached the house, I parked the car and went inside. I knocked at his door and he opened swiftly. “I swear if it's not something important I will rip you apar-” I froze when I looked at his monitors. He was a hacker and have hacked the satellites at nasa and space telescopes. All of them were focused on one thing. Mars was covered with a big “plate of metal”. The machines showed it was hot and the the center was teeming with life. I was shocked and looked at Alfred. “The thing was hidden by nasa satellites but I changed their programmes and its showing what is there in the solar system. That's a alien space ship that will arrive in 6months.”
