Chapter 3-Trouble

“Dreams, dreams they light the sky you just have to stretch out your hand to reach for them…”, The song Light Dream plays inside my headphones.

Eyes so sore why must exams be so stressful?

Why is this set up as rise or fall?

I really hate this life of constantly studying thank the great gamer in the sky my summer is close at hand, please smite thy arch enemy math oh great one. As I do my simple prayer for the strength to swiftly deal with my problems I stare out the window watching streaks of light fall until one of those lights hit me square in the forehead. If someone was with me I am sure they would laugh and scream head-shot as I am blasted out of chair onto the floor.

With my extremely fatigued brain it started to feel like it was frying, what the hell?

I toss and turn as the frying continues Strengthening? Mental? Physical? My mind is cracking up like grease in a pan will this pain stop?

Ding the noise ‘download complete’ drains the grease pain almost instantly.

Sitting I shake my head what the hell was that?

Guess I’m too tired I need some sleep or my brains going to melt down for sure next time.  Damn illusions, exams, math why are you thy bane of my existence, and for the love of all that is good why my friend is coming over tomorrow ugh.

Can’t I get some peace and quiet around here?

Crawling to my bed I barely get the covers around me, before blissfully passing out.

***About one hour later...

I awoke to a loud bang.

What the fuck is going on outside?

I get dressed quickly and head to my window to see the damage.

A mile away is the insane asylum set ablaze, like a beacon in the darkness. What happened when I was out?

Wonder if Saren is alright?

*Ping*

I notice a rock hit the window, my interest peaked I glance down yup that’s him and his sister if I’m not mistaken those cold eyes I know them anywhere.

Rushing down the stairs I go to the back door and open it letting them inside.

Smiling it’s been awhile since I've seen them two weeks?, “Come on in you two, I’ll get some clothes and food for you.”

Saren grins his eye’s softening up, “Thank you Nash.”

Waving my hand to stop Saren, “You need not thank me we’re friends, brothers not by blood no matter what we stand side by side, so please make yourself at home.”

Turning around I go up stairs and gather some clothes for them to change into, well they might be baggie, but it should fit her.

I drag my tired body down the stairs and give them to Saren and Hanna, “You guys can use the bathroom to wash yourself off. You smell of smoke and ash.”

Saren nods and turns to Hanna, “Hey Hanna I’ll help you to the bathroom alright, can you wash yourself me and Nash have to talk about some things alright?”

Hanna wears a small smile puffing out her small chest giving him thumbs up, “Yes, brother I can do at least that much by myself.”

With a faint smile Saren leads her to the bathroom after a while Saren comes back, “I bet you're wondering why the building is aflame I’ll tell you all of it since I trust you Nash.”

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Nash slightly nods as he leaves the noodles to cook and bring the tea to drink, “Please tell me what happened.”

Saren takes a drink from the tea and tells me his tale. When he’s finished I get up and turn off the noodles and return to him.

Taking a breath, “I believe you did the right thing at the right time I remember on the news Jag killed and raped boys and girls before he was sent there.

Even if it’s hard for me to believe that you have your so called power, but since the same thing happened I understand.

Otherwise I doubt you would've made out of there, much less your sister on your back without being followed. Still I’d like to see it in action to be certain.”

Saren agreed and lights his hand on fire in front of me and in the next instant with the flick of a wrist it turns off.

I stand up and head to my weight room and stare at a 250 pound bar, “I guess I’ll try for myself.”

Now one must keep in mind the highest Nash could lift was 160 pounds a weakling if you would and that was benching it. Nash had Saren spot him and what happened shocked Nash the weight when he benched 160 was shockingly as light as a feather!!!

Grinning like a fool he put the bar down, “More Weight Saren make it 500 pounds!”

Saren looked at him like he was crazy, but agreed they switched out the bar since they thought it wouldn't hold. With a resolute will Nash pushed the bar up to him it felt slightly like 70 maybe 80 pounds. Satisfied with the result he put down the now somewhat bent bar back and took off the weights.

Glancing at Sarens shock appearance over his face was replaced with understanding, “Trix says your current base of power when you have your power turned on will rise by 5 times in power around there as well as your speed and eyesight. Also the more you work out the stronger you will become, your skin, bones, and muscles all parts of your body will strengthen making growth limitless.”

Nash was startled by this fact that his power was limitless growth that was absurd?

Shaking off his shocked thoughts he poured the somewhat lukewarm noodles into the bowls for the three of them and Saren led his sister to the seat and the three ate together.

After finishing Nash said, “Hanna, you can sleep in my parent’s room since they’re off traveling the world. Saren you can take the Spare room.”

Saren just now was hit with a sack of fatigue from being drained from the past events, nodding in agreement taking Hanna to her room tucking her in. After which he went downstairs and got into the shower.

With heavy black ringed eyes he made it to the spare room and passed out from exhaustion.

With a deep sigh Nash laid back into his bed.  ‘What a crazy night. Why do I feel that tomorrow will be crazier since 'Tyrant' will be over? I pray to the great gamer in the sky and wish it will not to be true.’ Thought Nash as his heavy eyes closed shut.
