Chapter 2 Initiation
Confusion, that was the only feeling Rohan had.
"Huh"
"What was that stuff…. Initiating what??? I couldn't hear nor see the last part it just sounded like scrambled shit."
The words disappeared just as quick as it appeared and leaving no trace behind. Rohan looked around himself to check for any weird devices, maybe his phone went of or something.
"Where did that come from, maybe my phone, but I don't have any connection at all. I don't get it. Did it come from that weird shockwave light thing? Could be but how could that explain it."
Before Rohan could come to his sense, the mountains started shaking again, but this time it felt different, closer, and louder. Rohan heard water gurgling and loud crashing noises coming from the valley. Looking down he saw the previously blue lake that turned grey spouting out water like it was boiling in the center.
"What in the shit is going on, this is not a normal earthquake, something weird is going on."
Rohan looked at the lake scared, not knowing was he should be expecting. Slowly the water on the side was rising as the train station got flooded by water, first the tracks and floor and then halfway up to the building. The lake started vibrating and a massive stone row appeared from the southern end of the lake to the exact center.
It was odd, the row of stone was too perfect, it almost looked like… like a path, Rohan thought to himself. The feeling became even stronger as a giant cube or dark onyx rock emerged from the center that had perfectly polished sides and looked eerily perfect. Then the lake went quiet again, the water had rising by at least 6 meters and the lake now had a path to the weird central onyx cube.
Rohan was packing his back to try and make his way down the mountain. I can't stay here any longer, I need to get back to the city, tell them what's happening.
"Shit, I'm probably not the only one who noticed all of this"
Looking down Rohan saw a small group of people sitting on top of the train station, having climbed up to avoid the rising water they would be safe for some time until rescuers came.
Suddenly a deep, echoing horn sound could be heard from the center of valley, sending a ripple through the lake. It came from the onyx cube, or maybe it was more like the top of a tower. The lake started rumbling again and the onyx tower started rising. One meter, two meters, three meters, it climbed until is stood at least ten meters out of the water, and its width was half of its height.
Rohan could only see the part of the tower that was on the opposite side of the path, but that still gave him the feeling that there was more to the tower. Or at least more in the tower as a large hole was in northern side that should be at least 6 meters high and 3 meters wide.
"Is the tower alive? Or is there something living in there?'
Rohan was scared, not knowing what could happen, he chose to wait on top of the mountain until it was safe enough to go down.
Rohan's feeling was correct; there was something living in the tower. Clanking sounds could be heard as people appeared from the southern part of the tower on the path.
"How?? Shit.. I can barely see them but it seems to be like 9 people that came out of the tower. But they look, not normal… too tall, slender and not human-like."
The 9 wore deep dark onyx armor and quickly made their way to the mainland were 3 of them split off and went to the train station and the other waited.
"These shitters are fucking fast." Was the first thing that caught Rohan's eyes, they were way faster than any normal being, arriving at the station just as quick as the train would. They jumped up on the building with ease and walked towards the group of people that were waiting for rescuers.
Rohan saw all 3 beings take a tall slender object from their side and approach the group that was trying to either run away, hold each other or talk to the beings when the closest person stood up and tried to run away, all 3 moved as quick as lightning. Rohan couldn't follow their movements, but saw the aftermath as multiple head fell on the ground or rolled on the ground. The roof coloring red in blood.
"Blergggggg"
Rohan couldn't keep his meal in as he puked on the ground, quickly hiding behind a rock as he was completely drained of color.
"What the shit is going on, is this a dream? Has to be.. has to be."
Rohan took a peak over the rock again and looked at the train station. The 3 threw the heads and bodies in the water and jumped of the building. One of them looked up, straight at Rohan in his eyes.
Rohan ducked behind the rock again.
"SHIT.. what is this…. Did they see me… I don't want to die man shit. I'll have to take a look again, make sure they didn't see me"
Rohan took a look again, but did not see any of them stand there, but instead found 2 of them run back to the southern part to the other 6. While the last one seemed to be running straight for him.
"Oh shit"
"It's coming for me isn't it"
"I'll have to run, I can go against that shit, I'll check how far he is up the mountain and make a run for it. There is a path down on other side of the mountain that I can take."
Rohan peeked quietly from the rock and saw the 3 meter tall being quickly approach, it was already a tenth of the way there.
"How fast is this shitter, it will be at the top in like 30 minutes max, I'll have to make a run for it."
Rohan rushed to pack his bag and strapped it on himself and jump into the mountain path on the other side. This path was the long route back via the river, it would take a large loop around a different mountain and eventually make its way back to the city. Normally people would take a couple of days to walk it, but Rohan didn't expect to last this long.
Rushing down the hill, he made progress quickly and reach the tree line within 10 minutes, hoping the cover would shake the pursuer off. Although it might have helped, Rohan decided to keep his high pace and push on until he reached the river. Feeling his heart beating and pumping adrenaline through he managed to hold out for half an hour before he stumbled and rolled down half a hill.
"Shit why is this shit happening. Did I lose it? No probably not , I'll have to push on, maybe I can shake it off at the river."
Just when Rohan thought he was safe, he heard something.
