chapter 2.23 Hawk's backstory. Part IV

It was some weeks ago since Hawk had escaped with the boy. The boy whose name was given as Eto and who seemed to be a very special someone.

The ship in which Hawk and Eto had escaped had taken them to a planet in Cluster 7 called Green point.

For some mysterious reason, their destination in the little ship made them cross almost half the galaxy. It wasn’t possible, according to the science Hawk knew but somehow it happened.

They were on this planet, on the other side of the galaxy with no signs of the space station or professor Khalcazar.

There they had found an old man named Tlaw who happened to have been expecting them.

‘It seems our mutual contact has sent you,’ the man called Tlaw said and Hawk thought about the man in the shadows.

Later, Tlaw explained that he did not know who the man was, only that he contacted him about the boy named Eto and his arrival at Green point.

It was an old man, with a kind face behind a long gray beard that matched his long gray hair.

Hawk sat on a little hill, watching over the mountains of Green point.

It was a green filled planet with small mountains rising with waterfalls and little villages built on top of them. The clouds hang lower than on other planets and sometimes it felt like you went beyond them to the sky.

Together they agreed to tell Eto the story that this was his grandpa and that it was time for him to come here. To come home.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

It seemed best not to tell what was going on in the laboratory where Eto was held to make sure the boy didn’t have to think a lot about it.

The man named Tlaw also seemed to know about the mysterious power Eto had but he couldn’t explain how it worked. He only knew he had it.

‘Does it have to do with the shard in his chest?’ Hawk had asked but Tlaw couldn’t tell.

‘I know of star shard users with powers but as you described, this was a very powerful power.’

'Tell me about it,’ Hawk said and he saw the whole memory of Eto’s power in his head.

Hawk had decided to stay here for a while until he figured out what his next step would be.

The man called Tlaw took the responsibility to train Eto with his powers so one day he could use them for good, like the holy knights. The protectors of the galaxy.

Hawk had already known who the holy knights were but he was intrigued in hearing the stories told to Eto.

Sometimes after his training, Hawk would take Eto for a stroll through the mountains or forests. It was a moment he shared with his friend, just like they did on the space station.

Every time they walked, it seems that Eto was more intrigued by the Holy knights and sometimes he used a stick and pretended it was a sword. Then he always told Hawk that he couldn’t wait to be a holy knight, as they were the bravest of the universe. According to the stories, of course.

Life like this passed on for a few weeks and every evening, Hawk took a rest at an usual hill next to the cabin in which they all stayed.

It was a moment he thought that he wanted to stay here forever. He could really find peace on this planet, leaving all the miserable thoughts of professor Khalcazar behind.

Slowly Hawk started to rest his eyes a bit but quickly looked up as a loud bang came from the sky.

He looked up and above the forests and the mountains appeared a huge black ship.

‘Oh no’ he mumbled. He recognised the ship immediately.

It was the ship of Generation Zero. He had seen the ship on the news reports and they were known as troublemakers in the galaxy.

‘What can they possibly be doing here?’ he asked himself and the moment he said it, he knew it.

‘Eto’ he whispered.
