The discovery.

The year 2354, the city Beltsidar. A far away planet from any other. The city is filled with employs, policemen, and buildings, but there is one who seeks the creator behind all of this beauty. His name, be Aquino, a 23-year-old adventurer studying the city of Beltsidar. 

BELTSIDAR / 4:16 AM / LOCATION : HILTMEN UNIVERSITY /

Aquino's Clock, speaks to him.

"You be alright?" 

"I'm fine," Aquino lays in his bed, feeling not tired.

"Funny, I'm talking to a clock in the middle of the night."

Aquino's clock blinks and says, "It be 4:17 AM."

"Ugh," Aquino rolls onto his side.

"Something is bothering?"

"No, I'm fine," Aquino replies.

After a moment of silence, Aquino gets up and walks over to his desk.Clock follows his movement. Aquino stands in front of his desk searching through a book. "What is Aquino looking for?" The clock tilts its head, confused.

"S...Something, something or someone who created Beltsidar."

 "Well, it is obvious we made it.", the clock answers as if it knows the answer. "No no no, Beltsidar was built by humans and the planet was... is."

Aquino freezes. 

Clock awaits an answer from Aquino.

Aquino sighs, "If we built the city," He turns to face clock, "Then why were we able to make such high - tech technology?"

"Evolution?" Clock answers.

"No, a projected phone screen IS NOT from evolution, it just isn't possible. It can project FROM YOUR HAND." 

Clock looks downwards.

Aquino kneels in front of him.

"Hey, I'm not saying you're wrong. It could be true.", Clock slowly lifts his head.

Clock nods and Aquino does as well.

Aquino returns to his desk, just then his phone buzzes. 

He puts his hand up and taps his hand. A FaceTime call had begun.

"Wasab?" (Way - Sab ) "Aquino, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND."

"What is it?", Aquino answers. "It's a dragon's footprint, right in front of the ... lady whose holding two things in her hand statue ... I dunno what it is."

"THE GATES?" Aquino sounds terrified as he answers. "The gates of .. what?"

"THE GATES OF MARA! YOU FOUND IT?!" Aquino's tone slowly turns into excitement. 

"I .. I guess I did?", Wasab sounds confused. "So you're in front of the gates of Mara, how'd you get there?" Aquino demands to know. "A V - TOL, they dropped me off here cause I read the news saying there was a dragon sighting here."

"Why didn't they say it was the gates of Mara?", Aquino raised an eyebrow.

Wasab shrugs, "I have no clue, but you have to come down -" A loud helicopter-like sound was heard in Wasab's environment. 

"Crap, the V - TOL came to pick me up, gotta go See - ya." The call ends.

Aquino was speechless, he turns his phone off. (by tapping his hand.) 

He blinks, "Clock, what time is it?" "4:49 AM." Clock answers.

"Then I better get some sleep, I'm going to the gates of Mara."

( WOO - HOO, finally a story I won't be stopping. Like Long Dark ... Yeah. Anyway, I'll try and update this story as much as I can, so please don't get impatient because the chapters are going to be very long, and they take time to write. Thank you! )

XYLO.
