"There are many things we have right now. Many reasons we are living, if I died now... Then what about the next day, our love ones will cry for us for some time. But... Eventually they will again stated their normal lives. Then what?. We will be forgetten from world, from history. What is the point of a life that leaves no mark?"
Ender starred at his younger self.
"Death is eternal. No one can escape it. Nor me or you, if there's a mark that we exist here, then what?. We will die in the end, it's the end of everything that no one can escape."
The kid says while continuing,
"We just wanted to live normal life, don't we? But everytime our own people never let it live us... And when we get freedom, you're doing this to yourself now."
"We wanted to learn about everything. I don't why but we wanted to know everything since we were born, maybe that's our curse and our blessing... With this knowledge we can protect ourselves and our dear ones."
"With powers come responsibilities. Why would we bear responsibilities for other people?, can they do themselves."
"You're right. They can bear it themselves but because of her death, we realized that it doesn't matter if they can or can't, we have to move forward not just for us but for her."
He continues with a pause.
"If she was alive, then what would be her reaction on us?. Will she pity us or hate us because we want to die."
"She will hate us no doubt, but she isn't alive Ender and this is the truth you need to accept, within yourself."
The kid said with a sigh.
"I accepted she isn't alive but it doesn't mean we won't be, if fate has gave us a chance to live, then we will live, with that day not as a burden... As a lesson... For us."
He says while continuing.
"Now accept it, our new journey will start soon and the only which we have most trusted now... Is ourselves."
He extended his hand to himself.
"But what about our family? We don't want to leave them either too."
"I'm pretty sure that we will meet them too. Mr sherlock will have some ways that we'll meet them."
As his younger self shaked hands with him. Ender giving a warm ridiculous smile to him.
The place started to have a bright glow, as a yellow - blue energy formed around them. With the place turning to dust, the kid body started crumbling to dust from his lower body.
"For her. For us."
The kid slightly smile before he turned to dust. The place lighting brighter than ever but it was strangely warm as the light doesn't hurt ender's eyes. Suddenly, he feels dizzy as he lost unconscious.
***
The crystal started glowing very bright as even the fog wasn't keeping it dimmed.
"What's happening?"
"He's done it. Now he will awaken... As a Astran."
The crystal started to crack as a strong blue light came from it. With an instant it destroyed, releasing a massive shockwave. Mr sherlock had already made another barrier so that his friends won't get hurt.
BANG!
The crystal debris flew around with the fog.
When the light dimmed, and there was silence. His friends narrow their eyes to saw the scene but strangely no one was there.
"Huh?"
Sara raised her one eyebrow, looking with confusion.
"What? Where did he go?"
Ruis scratches his chin. Looking with puzzled expression.
Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder.
"Yoo, how's going?"
Ender smile behind him, as Ruis instinctively turned around in shocked, looking at him. None of his friends had noticed him while Mr sherlock had slight smirked in his face.
"How do you bypass this barrier?"
Zack snorted.
"I don't know just teleport here instinctively."
As he shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"Well, this doesn't seem that dangerous. I'm pretty sure that I can handle it so now it's my turn."
Zack said with a sigh.
"I would want to try too then.."
Ruis spoke with a deep breath, as he glanced towards the table.
"You shouldn't have impatience regarding this matter, cause impatience will cause your end."
"I have decided, I will choose flow...It's seems it's the best for me right now."
"Arknight will be my trame then.."
As Mr sherlock summon another fancy steel cup as before and gave to Zack as he poured the potion of Arknight with Ruis pouring flow.
"Be safe then.."
"Good luck."
As the girls say goodbye to them with worried but warm expression.
Suddenly in the white fog, winds started moving around a specific region, drawing attention of everyone. Then a small space, size of a human started breaking.
When it broke a voice comes from it.
"Damn, so here you are."
As a guy walked out of the portal. Tiding and adjusting his clothes, which were old and traditional like Mr sherlock. Ender instinctively had make his fists as for others they were behind Ender and Mr sherlock. Mr sherlock expression was calm, it seems he had expected this to happened.
"Oh so these are the kids you told me. Hey there everyone!"
As the guy moved towards them in a goofy but good manner.
"Why have you come here? Is there a specific reason?"
Mr sherlock said in his usual tone.
"You can say it a specific reason or not, it depends on you."
He continues with a pause.
"They're calling you right now."
His tone became serious in a instant. His sharp eyes staring at Mr sherlock
"Urgent?"
Mr sherlock asked calmy
"Yup."
His tone was again sarcastic as he thumbs up with his both hands to Mr sherlock.
"Well then... I'm leaving it to you then."
As Mr sherlock disappeared in a instant.
The guy looks at Ender and his friends.
"Oh so you have become an Astran. Wow pretty fast."
He appeared beside Ender, his arm around his neck. Ender tried to move but the guy had already disappeared.
"Wait, I haven't introduced myself till now. Sorry for that. My name is Leon. D. Rad. Member of cult ' Peace Revolters'. "
"Where the hell you come from?"
Sara asked curiously, breaking the silence of his friends.
"Strange. Master haven't told you yet. Well I came from Raiheart. It doesn't exist in this world. It exists outside of this universe... In layers."
The expressions of them quickly got mixed up as some hit their gently while others were giving up.
"Huh? You don't even know this. How shame. Well in short. This universe has infinite layers each one on one layered like a curtain. With each of them being infinity vast.
Going to them requires to be an Astran not because of power but because as a passport.
If you are less than 6D you will crushed instantly by it.
But if you managed to get there. Remember.
Don't use your astral form cause that will cause attraction of higher beings to you.
He says with a pause.
"Even we don't use our astral form while going there... And yeah each layer has it's own worlds with own countries and states you know, just like yours."
"Well I didn't expected that."
Ruis said with a slight smirked.
"You can't expect anything from this world nor the others."
Leon said with a smile.
