Three red suns, never ending day.
Everything is deserted; not a single living being could be seen in the middle of a deserted planet, with absolutely no water, or living creature on it. On a plain, where no mountains could be seen, in the middle of it was a boy, he had green eyes and black long hair, which is even longer than himself, he had deep brown skin with orange shine to it. His lips were cracked, but unexpectedly he was not skinny, instead he was extremely muscular, not a single drop of fat could be seen on his body, which made him look frightening.
At this moment of time, he was doing push up’s…he was doing one finger push up’s. With a smile on his face, he kept doing the push up’s, he kept doing the push up’s for ten whole sun cycles. He then stopped doing it and started meditating; it seemed as if he was one with the nature, as if there wouldn’t be no him, the planet would just die.
Next to the boy, there was a book with at least few thousand pages, inside the book was written the knowledge of meditation, ironically there wasn’t anything besides that.
“My father said that, I am the only one left from my race, and that I must wait for someone to come and get me. Today is my thirteenth birthday I have been alone for whole ten years. After Meditating for two years I got bored and so I started training, but it’s more like having fun. The feeling of getting stronger and being strong is just too good, besides there is nothing else for me to do. I don’t dislike meditating, but it gets boring after a while.” What the boy didn’t know is that, the book of meditation was in order to strengthen his mind, and replenish his body, as to not starve to death; logically speaking it wasn’t made to strengthen the body.
Before the planet died…No before people killed the planet…Before people killed the planet, planet killed the people, and so the boy is the only one left alive. Before people killed the planet, it was one of the most technologically advanced planets in the entire galaxy, but the people of the planet instead of advancing, in bodily functions. They instead focused on their mind, and that’s how the book of meditation came to exist, the people began to be extremely peaceful, and planet went into eternal existence with no need of wars. The peace lasted for whole fifty thousand years, technological advanced stopped ever since, but then a man, who refused to meditate decided to create something that would be better than the book of meditation. Unfortunately he failed and in the process the world got destroyed, only one boy successfully survived in a life capsule. The life capsule lasted for one hundred thousand years, when it opened a boy carrying a book walked out of it. The book and the capsule, were both made from the most precious and most none existent material on the planet, which is why it withstood the Apocalypse.
Today… Exactly one hundred thousand and ten years ago… Inside a scientist laboratory. Intergalactic communication research centre.
“Sir this is all we can achieve for now, I don’t think we will be able to improve on this any further, the apocalypse started twenty years ago, we don’t have any more time left.” An old man, standing next to middle aged man said.
“How far will the message go?” The middle aged man asked.
“It will reach ten and half galaxies surrounding ours, but it will take at least hundred thousand years to reach the furthest galaxies, all we can do is hope that their technology is better than ours. Hope that they will be able to make it to us, if there is anyone at all…”Old man said with concerned face
“The capsule will be able to hold on for one hundred thousand years exactly, and the book one hundred thousand and ten years, we can only hope until then someone will come and save our boy, our race.” Middle aged man said, unexpectedly with calm face.
At present, twelve million light years away from the red planet. A blue beautiful planet, inside an old run down communication centre, suddenly a signal came.
*click* *click* *click* a fat middle aged man was sitting, playing online games when suddenly he saw a light blinking on of the devices, he was shocked and instantly turned off the game and started recording the signal.
“Hey, I got a message twelve light years away, can you imagine that, I thought that galaxy died out…” Fat middle aged man said on the phone.
“What?!? Quickly get to the intergalactic communication centre, fast! They might even reward you with money, bruh we might get rich!” another middle aged man said on the phone excited.
He didn’t wait anything and instantly went to the intergalactic communication centre, there were loads of different creatures, with white coats working non-stop.
The fat middle aged man instantly went to the reception and said, “I work at an old communication centre, and I got a message twelve million light years away.” He said, looking with dirty smile on his face at the hot green haired blue skinned attendant.
Attendant immediately got shocked and called someone out, soon a huge bear like creature wearing lab coat came and said, “Quick come with me!” The bear like creature said without even introducing.
Inside a lab full of some kind of holographic devices a fat man and a bear like creature were standing listening to something, “Hello, my name is Kerk, our planet will die very soon, and there are no habitable planets anywhere near, so our race won’t be able to survive. I have put my son into a life capsule which should last for one hundred thousand years exactly. We have put many other people into capsules, but they will only be able to last for ten thousand years maximum, although we hope that we all will be saved. Our planet coordinates 54757587kvaosf6767469asdfas6476tbrvr. Please help our race survive.” The bear like creature started gasping and immediately asked the middle aged man, “How long has it been since the message been sent?!?” the middle aged answered, “ The signal that our communication centre catches travels about 12 light years, per one year of ours… which means about one hundred thousand years ago considering their coordinates…” The fat middle aged man said, “hahah good! Good!” The bear like man said and immediately went out not caring about the fat middle aged man.
Ten days later on the red planet a muscular kid was standing on one finger, doing one finger standing push ups, steady as mountain, one could get feeling that even tornado couldn’t move him.
“One thousand, fifteen…one thousand sixteen…one thousand seventeen…” The kid was doing push ups not moving, it looked like he could do them for eternity.
Suddenly a gigantic ship could be seen in the sky, making a huge shadow on thousand kilometres landscape.
“Captain, this boy is the only living creature on the planet, there is no water and no plant’s on the planet, I don’t understand how he is still alive…” at this time inside the gigantic ship in the front cabin, woman spoke looking at the holograph of a kid doing push ups.
“Land somewhere not too far from him, and lets go meet him.” Captain of the ship said calmly looking at the boy.
At this time the boy could see suddenly a shadow covered the earth, he couldn’t understand what happened and so he looked up and saw a gigantic magnet shaped spaceship hovering about hundred miles up, but he could easily distinguish the details. He then calmly looked at the front of the ship where he could see a man standing there looking at a blue hologram. Although he couldn’t understand why the man didn’t fall but, the boy still had a smile on his face.
When the captain of the ship saw the boy looking at him with a smile on his face he was extremely surprised, but then a smile appeared on his. One could see that the man wasn’t of a bad hearth.
The boy suddenly saw some kind of object nearing him, he didn’t do anything and just stayed standing, but suddenly the book which was next to him started trembling, and as if crushed, turned into dust, and was blow away by the wind.
The boy didn’t understand why that happened, but he didn’t care much as he already memorized the whole book, word by word.
He then saw people running towards him, and so he also started walking towards the people.
When the boy saw people who looked alike to him, he was overjoyed and said, “Hello! Hello! My father said people will come and help me! I am already awake for ten years!” The boy said not waiting for the people to start talking.
The people looked at each other not knowing what to say they stayed quiet for a second, but then spoke, “Boy we got message from you father only, we are late one hundred thousand years, you could say, but don’t worry from now you will be able to have good life.” A pleasant, young sounding woman said and then led him to the ship.
One of the people spoke as they entered the ship saying, “follow me we will find place to relax and to get to know each other” a man said and led the boy to seat with a seat belts.
The boy sat there without questioning although he was extremely curious about everything he could hold it back.
“I am Josh, this is my colleague James, and Jane we are actually siblings. People call us triple J team.” Josh spoke as he smiled, “how about you do you have a name?” Josh asked the boy.
“Yale, that’s my name!” Yale said while smiling, but then he started asking questions about every single object in the ship. The three siblings started laughing suddenly and started answering his questions with smile on their face.
After about two minutes they entered the gigantic ship, when Yale saw the interior he couldn’t help, but feel like it was natural, environmental friendly. It was actually full of trees on the sides, and it looked as if it was naturally formed. After about a minute or so walking, he also noticed that something was off, he could feel that his body has become much lighter compared to before, Yale couldn’t understand this phenomenon.
“Alright Yale we are here this is our guest room, we would like to talk to about some things.” Jane said smiling as she led Yale with her to quite small room there was round table inside with ten or so chairs around it, the room had natural look to it, as it was made from wood. All the walls were made from timber, which was quite fascinating.
“Alright, Yale sit down, we will get you some tea and cookies, I bet you haven’t tasted either of them.” Jane said and winked at Yale, quickly going to take care of some things.
‘Wow this, so interesting, so you sit on these objects, the woman called it a chair huh. I wonder what’s the tea and cookies she talked about…Could it be something like a food which I ate. It’s been whole ten years since then…’ What Yale didn’t realise is that It has been whole lot longer.
Suddenly an attendant came in carrying a tea pot and tea on a plate, while in other hand a plate with ten or so cookies, it was actually chocolate cookies.
When Yale smelled the cookies and tea saliva started coming out of his mouth.
‘Whaaa!?!? What is this heavenly thing??’ Yale was questioning himself; he couldn’t help but get ultra-excited and couldn’t wait to taste it.
Attendant smiled at him and then spilled some tea in to the cup, and then handed it to yale on the plate putting few cookies on the plate. Yale didn’t wait and started sipping the tea while eating the cookies in few bites, but soon the cookies were finished and he was nowhere as satisfied.
“Umm…can I have more cookies?!!” Yale said almost shouting, with huge smile on his face.
“Alright, sir please wait a minute...” Attendant was surprised, because the chocolate cookies were rather large, but this kid just ate each with two bites finishing all ten of the cookies an instant. Even an adult, would probably not able to eat all of them, much more a kid twelve or so years old.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Yale got happier and happier, then suddenly his stomach started displaying strange sounds, ‘That’s right I haven’t ate anything for whole ten years, after eating the ten cookies my body is not even bit satisfied…After all from meditation I only got nutrients which is just enough to support my body not even bit more and not even bit less…It didn’t taste like anything either, these cookies and tea have heavenly taste, I have never ate anything like that..’ Yale thought as he remembered only one year of his life before getting into capsule and then next instant he was already on the deserted place.
After a minute attendant came back carrying more cookies and tea, not waiting for Yale to finish the cookies she immediately dismissed herself.
After about five minutes, four people came in, which was the tree siblings, and the ship captain.
“Hello, my name is Tomas, I am the captain of this ship, I came here with the mission of saving you, and I am sorry for the wait.” Captain said calmly and then sat down on the other side of the table with the three siblings next to him.
“Hi, hi! I am Yale….” Yale said, not knowing what to say he felt quite awkward, but then he calmed down and said, “I really love those cookies and the tea! Thank you very much it’s delicious, hehe” Yale said as he smiled.
“Hahah, no problem… no problem when we get back to earth you will be able to eat cookies every day!” Captain Tomas said.
“Really? Wow that’s awesome! I can’t wait…” Yale said day dreaming.
“Actually, we would like to ask you some questions about your life…as it is very astonishing that you were able to survive at such harsh environment.” Captain Tomas said, with amazement in his eyes.
“Oh that’s easy, it’s always peaceful there, and after meditating I didn’t feel hungry…When I get bored I start exercising, when tired I would meditate again, and so like that fast ten years went by…” Yale said not hiding anything.
“Y..Y…You didn’t eat anything at all for ten whole years ?!?” The captain looked at each other and then the captain said to Yale.
“Yale you must promise me that you will never tell your story, to anyone ever, or it might bring you great disaster…” Captain Tomas said seriously looking at Yale.
Yale thought for a moment, he didn’t know the reason, and he didn’t know what’s so special about it, so he decided to keep it a secret as it wasn’t big deal to him.
“Okay! I will keep it a secret Captain Tomas.” Yale smiled as he took another cookie and ate it, with closed eyes enjoying the cookie.
“Later we will do some tests to see your wellbeing, for now Jane will show you your room, where you will stay.” Captain Tomas said, not wanting to ask no more as he couldn’t ask any questions.
“Let’s go Yale you must be tired from being in the same place for so long, I’ll show you around the ship.” Jane said as she led Yale.
When the door closed Captain Tomas started talking, “This…who could have known that in such a place a legendary cultivating technique would appear, too bad there is nothing left on the planet and the boy is the only one who knows it, we must keep it a secret, we also don’t know how strong the technique is. If people gets to know that the boy possess this this technique, he will soon die, we mere mortals must not get involved in this, or we might die as well…”, “Yes captain,” The two brothers answered…
‘Legendary cultivating technique? Isn’t that something everyone has?’ Yale thought as he could perfectly hear captain, his senses are many times better than normal people. In Yale’s planet everyone meditated, by this book, it was extremely normal to him.
But how could Yale know that what his planet people created opposes the heavens and resists the hell.
After a journey around the ship Yale was pretty amazed by everything, he learned countless things in just one day.
“Alright, Yale now let’s go see your health state” Jane said while smiling and led him to a big hall with many people in it working and checking everyone.
A middle aged man with strange wood like skin came next to them looked at Yale then looked at Jane and then said, “Hello my name is Tinker today I’ll be looking after you,” Tinker said with smile on his face, but also couldn’t help looking at Yale with astonishment, not only because he never saw such physique on such a young kid, but also such a balance. His body muscles, were balanced at atomic level, any of his muscles were not inferior to each other making perfect harmony, as if looking at a saint himself.
“Hello! My name is Yale, thank you for looking after me.” Yale said smiling, expecting to do something fun.
“First I’ll take an example of your blood how about that? Don’t worry it shouldn’t hurt” Tinker said.
“No needles right? I don’t like needles…” Yale said looking Tinker concerned he really didn’t like needles at all…
*cough**cough* “Of course we won’t use needles, what age do you think we live in..pfft..*cough*” Tinker said redirecting his gaze, ‘Aish… This kid will be hard to deal with for sure’ Tinker thought, he knew that he can’t get any blood without actually taking it from the kids body. This involves needles obviously…
“Yay no needles…alright let’s do it!” Yale said laughing.
Tinker took out a tube with only extremely small hole on the bottom middle. Then put it on Yale’s finger.
“Alright now push your finger on the little hole there, and it will be done in an instant.” Tinker spoke.
“Okay…” Yale said and pushed on the little hole, then suddenly he felt a small tingling in the finger, but then it was over. Yale took his finger and saw that it was the same as ever only that there was now a bit of liquid there, but next instant it was absorbed by his finger and disappeared.
“Well done, it’s over.” Tinker said as he smiled, then put down the tube on the side, and proceeded with other similar tests.
“Alright now we will see your physical capabilities it is very important for kid your age to be not only healthy, but be physically capable as well!” Tinker said with smile, he was excited to see this kids performance.
Tinker led him to a large running machine, “We will see for how long and how fast you can run.” Tinker said.
When Yale saw this he was extremely happy, because he loved running, he would run for days not stopping, he felt great when wind was blowing on his face.
Yale climbed on the huge running machine, and the running path started moving back, “Run along the path.” Tinker said.
Yale now understood and started walking slowly, as the running path started moving backwards faster and faster, soon it reached 25 kilometres per hour, and tinker thought it must be his limit, but he was surprised to see Yale’s composed and happy face without a bit of fatigue it looked like he was taking a walk at the park. Tinker then said, “from now on tell me when you reach your limit, and I will stop it.” Tinker said and started increasing the speed.
40…50…70…90…120…150 the speed kept increasing, but Yale didn’t stop actually 150 kilometres per hour is already maximum the running machine can go, and he never saw anyone who could run so fast.
“Sir, why isn’t the speed increasing anymore?” Yale said as he was running, seemingly in a casual manner.
Tinker look at Jane with strange look on his face and asked, “H…h.hhhhe? he?” Jane nodded as she spoke, “Yale there is few more things we would like you to promise…It would be great if you could only reveal your running speed to about twenty five kilometres per hour and not more…Also for your strength it would be great if you would only reveal tiny bit of it…What I mean by reveal is to not run faster than 25 kilometres per hour in front of other people. You will understand why when we find you a home. Okay?” Jane said smiling.
Yale thought for a moment and he understood that there must be reason for that, but he must not be inpatient. Yale nodded and didn’t say anything else continuing to run.
“Yale how long can you run at this particular speed for?” Tinker asked honestly.
“For about three days…” Yale thought as he answered.
‘Jesus... This kid is really a monster…’ Tinker thought not continuing tests anymore.
“Well Yale you are as healthy as one can be honestly…” Tinker said, and then went back to his lab.
Yale was quite surprised seeing strange look on Tinkers face, but he didn’t question.
Soon few days passed, and right now Yale and three siblings were having breakfast, they suddenly looked at each other and nodded, Jane spoke.
“Yale there is something I need to talk to you about, about life on earth…As you know your parents have already gone to a better place, and so they can only look after you from above, but now you need someone who could be your new parents. Yale I don’t expect you to love them or care about them as much as your real parents, but you must respect and treat them as if they were your real parents.” Jane said looking at Yale
“New parents?” Yale asked not understanding this concept.
“Yale, your parents will be a couple who really, really love each other just like your mom and dad, but they are not able to have kids…” Jane said, as it’s very hard to explain it, to a kid with only one year of memories, who have not experienced many things…
After long time of talking Yale finally understood that his new parents will be someone he doesn’t know, but they will love him nonetheless. He was pretty happy, although he didn’t feel sad without his parent’s he for sure longed for them, being alone for ten whole years, made Yale a lot more mentally stable, much more so for his age.
Soon one more day passed, and the spaceship finally landed on earth, Yale and the crew, all got familiar with each other, but it was time to say good bye.
After long procedures and sitting in a big building Yale got to know bunch of people who were extremely good to him, they gave him lots of cookies and so he was extremely happy.
Suddenly a young woman and a man with about 9 or so year old girl came next to him as he looked at them he remembered his mom and dad standing beside him. He got strange feeling that they looked at him as if they were his parents, with love and care, but also concern.
Tamir who was one of the attendants at this building suddenly came next to him, “Yale, please say hello, they will be your new parents from now on.” Tamir said, looking happy.
Yale looked at them again and said, “Ummm.. ah I am Yale, thirteen years old, I came from far away thank you for looking after me from now on…” Yale said awkwardly, as he smiled, he didn’t know how to feel.
The young man who had brown hair and blue eyes, had a formal yet casual clothes on him looked at his wife who had black long hair she was quite petite and had green eyes; both of them got eyes watering, and then suddenly hugged Yale together with the nine year old girl who had blond hair and blue eyes, wearing white dress, she looked extremely pretty. One could see that she will be a beauty when she grows up, making men kneel before her. It was quite dramatic even attendant barely holding it from crying.
The middle aged man stopped hugging Yale and then said, “Yale, my name is Celais, this is my wife Juliet and my daughter Katie, and from now on we will look after you. You can call us whatever you want.” Celais said honestly.
Yale had watery eyes as well it’s been very long since he felt like this… he looked at them deeply and then said, “Okay… Mom… Dad…” he said looking at them and then looked at Katie and said, “Sis…” Yale made a small pause and then said, “Shall we go?”
