It’s been a few months since the meteorite struck Earth, changing the World forever. Allan has been hard at work training his abilities and trying to unlock even more. Every day he wakes up at 5 in the morning, runs 100 miles, does 500 push-ups and bench presses his car, he meditates for 4 hours before devouring a huge lunch and running another 100 miles before going home. Every day the same routine, until one day, things changed.
“498, 499, 500... Phew, I think I’m going to take it easy today, time to just relax and meditate” Allan says as he stretches and yawns sitting down with his legs crossed.
Deep breaths can be heard as Allan starts to drift into a heavy meditation. As his breaths start to shallow, butterflies begin to surround him in his still state, calm and peaceful, rabbits and deer start to graze around, feeding on the grass near him. Water can be heard in the background, like the trickle of a gently flowing stream, toads are croaking, lurking in the swampy floor of the forest pond. The wind starts to pick up, breezing around, soft at first, but quickly starts increasing, the wind now blowing violently, stops as Allan opens his eyes..
“Huh, whoa..” Allan says, hovering 5 feet off the ground. “I, uh, how do I get down?” he says to himself while glancing at the ground. “Maybe I can flap my arms fast enough to move towards that tree.” Allan says as he starts to flap like a bird. “Whoa it’s actually working, I can’t believe it, hah!” he says with excitement. “But how did I get up there?” he asks while climbing down the tree. “Let me see if I can do it again.” Allan thinks as he sits down crossing his legs ready to meditate again.
Shortly after he rises off the ground again, this time far higher, 20, 30, 40 feet above the ground he goes, far above the treetops. Opening his eyes Allan sees how high he has gotten. “Oof, too high, too high,” he screams in a high pitched voice, “I overdid it, now I’m stu..” He suddenly stops speaking as he looks in the distance. “What is that? it’s kind of glowing in the distance.” Allan looks very intrigued. Allan takes his phone out and starts to record a video. “Hey bud, I dunno what this is but I’m gonna go check it out, let you know what I find or if I need some back-up, stay alert.” Allan says in the video to Jonny. “and send, cool, now.. how do I get down..?”
*bzz bzz* Allan’s phone buzzes with a text from Jonny. “May I ask where you are?”
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“I’m in the woods doing a bit of training, a few miles Northeast of the lab, why?” Allan replied
*bzz bzz* The phone buzzes again, “No, I see the forest, I mean, why does it look like you’re 56 feet in the air?” Jonny asks.
“Oh heh, yeah that.” Allan says chuckling. “I was meditating and I started to float, got down by using a tree and tried again, got much higher than expected, now I’m stuck lol.”
*bzz bzz* “Your suit is developed to withstand and absorb impacts, a 50 foot fall should be no issue.” Jonny replies.
“Oh, awesome, no fall damage, gotta love it! But I still don’t know how to actually get down.” Allan replied “Any suggestions?”
*bzz bzz* Jonny quickly replied “Try belching lol” Jonny jokes “But seriously, just calm your head and think about falling, engage your suit first.”
Allan agrees and tries to meditate, calming himself while floating high above the ground. As soon as he opened his eyes he began to fall, straight to the ground at full speed, landing dramatically on one knee with one fist to the ground, a truly heroic landing. “Yeah, that was cheesy.” Allan said as he grinned, “time to go find out what this glow is.”
As Allan travels closer to the source, he starts to feel a sort of burning in his body. “Whoa, what is that, it burns, my body feels like it's on fire.” He starts to walk faster toward the light, night time quickly approaching, the glow is spectacular. As he approaches, his body begins to perspire, the sweat starts to fly upwards, as if defying gravity. Allan steps towards the glow he sees between the trees, he can feel his energy growing inside, he sees it, a small crystal, floating above the ground giving a fantastic fiery yellow glow. Now shrouded in an energy field, he approaches the crystal. “Something is calling me, I need to grab it.” Allan says as he leans out to touch the crystal.
*bzz bzz* “Hey I’m getting massive spike readings of radiation from your suit, where are you, you need to step away from that area.” Jonny quickly messaged Allan.
Allan stops to look at his phone, snapping a picture and sending it to Jonny.
*bzz bzz* “What the hell? Do you think it’s the cause of what we are going through?” Jonny asks. “Whatever it is, get away, it’s giving off far too much radiation.” He warned.
Allan stands there, staring directly into the crystal. “It's calling me, I need to..” Allan says as he continues reaching forward, reaching through the energy barrier protecting the crystal. Suddenly, the crystal shatters into billions of pieces, a yellow, glowing, liquid-like substance oozes from the shards and absorbs into Allan’s chest. “What the?” Allan immediately drops to the ground, completely out cold.
