Black Monolith Origins

[13th November 2133 – Sister of Death, Realm: The Sea of Dreams. Around the 5th hour…]

Snoring among the apple trees was a black She-Bear. Beside her were two infant gazelles serenaded in the hue of gold.

And there lies within her grasp a brown boy… he was centered within her ring.

He was minded to stay, her presence was always comforting, but… there was fun to be had.

Four more Gazelles slightly older than the babes appeared, they were brimming with energy and adventure, they came before him.

They jump and stomp their hooves where they quickly began jumping like a flock of sheeps, in a circle and not a fence.

They urged him to play or to at least come with them, and though he had not refused, he was unsure of leaving the side of the She-Bear.

Thus, they grew impatient and left him. Seeing them waver to mind their own business caused him to feel left out.

In a moment of rebellion, he left both her grasp and her protection. He rushed at their path with all of his might.

When he caught up, the Gazelles look before him, they approach and began surrounding him in cheer.

And cheer and cheer they did. He, too, was jumping along as if it were the greatest moment of his life.

[BANG]…

[BANG]…

[BANG]…

They heard gun shots, and this caused It all to stop short, they paused confused but knowing something was not right, fear began to settle in.

For a time, such was complete, but courage is born from somewhere, and curiosity is always within the youngers.

They needed to know what was before them; hence they retraced their steps back, slowly and quietly.

…

…

But when they did and the moment became clear, their legs were the first thing to betray them.

It was no longer just fear but sadness and disbelief as tears quickly departed, for what was before them was a tall Red Man and below that tall Red Man was a dead She-Bear.

Her innards were blown to smithereens, it all was plastered on all trees and ground, and also on the cowering babes.

They were truly at lost, they did not know what to do and when the Red Man had noticed them, he gave them such a wide and sinister smile, that it caused their bowels to run free.

”HA… HA… HA… ”

Laugh he did and laughed more, and when he began moving, they pray that such was a dream and what he was about to do next was truly more so the same.

They watched as the red man approach the baby Gazelles, who had shielded both their ears and vision.

They surely want to deny. The devil was being played. He looked down at the babes, then looked back at them.

There he gave his grin once again along with the Ascension of his boot, where he quickly descending it downward.

The sound of spurting resounded within the mind, the sounds of bones cracking, and flesh being squished by repetitive stomping. That moment everything has clouded in blood.

”NOOOO!!! ”

As if awakening from a nightmare, Sergile opened his eyes in fright as he quickly ushered himself forward.

He was in the break of cold sweat, his fingers curled in a fist, tightening as he heaved mightily.

Though when he caught himself, he first surveyed his room. When he took a look at his hands and made sure that he knew that he was in reality.

”Another nightmare… ”

He said sourly, dragging forth his legs to the edge of his bed, where he quickly ventured into the restroom upon standing.

It was convenient that he was on a smooth moving hovercraft that provide to one everything they needed when it regards to accommodation.

So, he ran the sink and washed his face before taking a good look at himself in the mirror.

He perceived his own, the lighting allow him to observe the health of his vibrant brown skin, the conditions of his bright golden eyes. He was looking for veins that mightve appeared beneath them, pausing when he had spotted them.

Not only that, but he could see that the stress recently granted to him was beginning to lose its form; thus he then sees to it that he go somewhere to cool his spirit.

But before he did as, he was in his underwear adorned fully black coverings that extend both his elbows passed his wrist, and covering down to his shin. The shoe he wore was made from cotton.

Outside the carrier he went, quickening his grip on the bar aligned before him and steer his eyes at the gray seas below.

It was indeed approaching morning where he can make distinctive colorization, but as far as he knows it was not raining and the waters here may be natural.

Within a minute time, he give a second heave, time out of irritation:

”For a time I ran. I ran and kept running as they cut me off from all corners. ” He said with a shook of his head;

”I couldn continue that way, not just for me but more importantly for them… ” uttered partially in determination.

”The running ceased, so why must these images still hunt me so? ” And he truly at the verge of anguish.

”Ill advise you not to go down that path you are taking… ” Said the words of a mysterious stranger.

This foreign voice and presence came at such a sudden shock for him that he instantly went on alert.

”Woah there buddy, am not here looking for trouble…yet! ”.

So, the man before him leaned back on the rails, where his face was averting to his direction. He waved his hand in a manner begging him to perish such thoughts.

Though all that did was cause Sergile to gaze at him more suspiciously. The stranger had not noticed that something was taking from at the formers back.

”Who are you, where did you come from, and how did you get here? ” Sergile demanded answers.

in a laymans terms he was asking: [How the hell did you get pass my security!?]

This carrier was assigned to him, and indeed he allowed guests to lodge with him as he carried forward, but this individual was not familiar to him in any sense of the word.

There are numerous trained Security Personal upon the carrier, where there is no commotion made about this person, and no alert from his Security Surveliance.

He quickly judge to his as too dangerous, and he was convince of such knowing that a surveliance camera was peering outside of the door at this very spot.

Yet no one came out to patrol the area, nor did any alarm went off like stated earlier.

Though he demanded answers, he had not forgotten to ask:

”Also, please emphasize what you meant by ”yet ”… ”

And there was a pregnant pause before the Stranger sighed, and for a second, he glowed in the hue of gold.

Upon seeing this, Sergile eyes grew wide:

”You
e a gifted? ” Yet, he knew that he did not have to ask by all evidence.

”Correct! ” The Stranger answered, then went on to say:

”You are well hidden too, but I already knew you for a time… ”

Sergile eased back, appalled and looked at him cut eye:

”Should I feel flattered? ” And though he was being sarcastic, he never liked the idea of being screened from afar.

Note to self, be more mindful of your surroundings

The Stranger, however, chuckled:

”I bare no intent, but I soared all the way here to issue to you a challenge… ”

”A challenge? ” Sergile was confused, why was he sought just to be presented with a challenge?

”Yes, a challenge that not only bare the fate… the balance of you and me, but of all that belong… ”

And with that, Sergile flared into anger that a surge of spirit began to permeate from him. It was the same golden glow.

”Don think Ill allow this to follow through if you
e going to make this personal! ” As sparks began to leave his aura.

”Hahahahaha, thats the spirit, but Ill advise you to hear me out to know what this challenge pertains… ”

And in response Sergile commanded him to ”Speak! ”
