Chapter 6 :~: A Pinch of Science and Spirituality
Sheeran's Perspective:-
"Your Family? You never mentioned them!" I asked him as I got fucked up again and again. First I was abducted by a devil-possessed man, then he says I too myself am possessed by a devil, and then shit like this is disclosed." Yeah because we are not allowed to speak about companions and stuff in open, you know even walls are said to have ears, and when I say so, I mean it. By the way, these are my 2 daughters Alina and Amelia" Steven said pointing out to the 2 little girls I noticed earlier the two human girls waved at me. "And this lady, well she is very special to me, she's my wife Noel." the woman standing by the door smiled at me, giving me a look that comforted me, she too looked normal just like any other human.
"I will make something for both of you to eat, just give 10 minutes, come one girl's pa's got some work to deal with." She said and left the room. "You bought something for us didn't you pa? "One of the little girls said, I couldn't guess who it was as both of them were identical twins. "Yes father, you told us you will bring something for us from your home planet." The other one said.
"I have bought something but It's a sorta surprise which you will discover tonight. And I hardly doubt that you won't like it." Steven said and the girls raced out giving him a warm hug. "You have a great family, don't you?" I asked Steven. Steven sat down on a couch adjacent to the bed and removed his mask and his hoody, for the first time I saw Steven's real face, he looked like a normal human, except that he had a brownish-red scar just above the right portion of his forehead. "Yeah I do think so- I wanted to ask you something, Sheeran." He said to me. "Yeah sure, go on," I replied.
"Wh- " as he was about to speak, the door opened and Noel came in with two plates in her hand, but the point here was how did she make it in when she had both of her limbs occupied. She kept the two plates on the nightstand table. One of them had some soup in it and the other one had a heap of what looked like flat chocolate chips."Thank you, Ma'am! I am grateful but all this isn't necessary" I said, "It's fine, Sheeran. I like to nurse people. Be comfortable and enjoy yourself- and as for you, Mr. Clovis, you must finish your plate of soup, and remember I don't take no for an answer." She said, "Yes Mrs. Clovis, I will." Steven said, and Noel kissed him on his forehead and left the room.
We had our food and Steven said while keeping his plate on the nightstand table, "Sheeran, let's take a walk outside, hence I can give you a tour of Zillion, the capital city of planet Tvettay, and also we can talk about stuff." I agreed and we went outside, the moment Steven opened the door, A reddish-blue or violet light came in, and when I stepped out, I was thrilled. The entire sky was covered in a shade of red as well as blue but it wasn't violent, it seemed strange but that was true. " What's with the sky, Steven? Is it always like this, or something else?" I asked.
"Oh, don't worry, it's completely normal, let me explain to you. Living organisms need the energy to survive, don't they? Normal Humans can sustain upon the energy of the sun itself, but we Yuris, require extra Mana or energy to live on due to our little friends inside us. Hence the researchers here came up with a brilliant solution. They observed that any plant in the Omniverse which has the presence of chlorophyll in it requires red and blue light to sustain and live on.
Hence Scientists long time back, released a harmless gas, into our atmosphere. It has two great benefits, first for the plants as they get what they need and then for us as well." " And how is that so?" I asked as he took a halt. "Humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, even Yuris do the same. While it's the opposite for plants. When we exhale CO2, it either reaches out to the plants or above towards the gas, which processes it and delivers it to the plants. Here plants as well release oxygen, and it too follows the same process." He completed.
I was left in awe, of the depth of Science. We left the house and traveled along the pavement adjacent to the road. Except for the sky, everything else was normal here. There were cars, and normal people going across the streets. But another thing I found fascinating was, that there were more trees here as compared to back there on Earth, I speculated that the Yuris might use them as a substitute for the sun. "Yes, you are right, Sheeran!" Steven said, "Stop reading my mind, now and then!" I saw some people levitating things to the other side of the pavement, maybe doing their work. This is when I remembered something.
"Steven, if you don't mind can I ask you a question?" I said. "Well yeah for sure, you have been pinging the same, since we met." He taunted me. "Back then at your house, I observed something very strange," I said. "It was, Noel, isn't it, her abilities, right?" He said, "Yes it's her, but will you please stop reading my mind." I pleaded. "I didn't read your mind, instead I read your expression, this idea hadn't reached your conscious completely, it was still swimming in your subconscious. Sometimes you have to be a good Observer as well! Anyways, yeah what you might be thinking isn't true. She isn't a Yuri." He said and I asked, "Well then how can she use such supernatural powers?"
"Sheeran first of all, nothing's supernatural, everything has a reason. Well and this thing too has a reason. Have you heard anything about Sanskrit texts or Vedas or Mana or even the concept of Chakra?" He asked, "Uh, I haven't, to be honest." I said hastily as I was too curious to find the answer." Ok, no problem we have another 25 days or so for the devil identification ritual, I will explain to you this which might be the most important thing you will ever remember that's the same thing, I used on you back on the ship when you asked for proof.
So in the ancient Sanskrit texts from Ancient India, north to Sinauli, there is this concept called the 'Chakra' or pivotal points of our body, in all, there are 6 of them, we need not go into its depth currently as it's not important to us right now. Similarly, the energy lying around those Chakra is called Mana, But you should understand that every ounce of matter in the universe has Chakra in it. When you concentrate on the particular point you want to move, a sort of electric current is passed through your body to that particular object just like our nervous system, and hence the object moves. Now isn't that interesting?" He said while we reached a garden and sat on one of the benches beside the lawn. "Yeah, it is, indeed," I said.
He continued with a smile, "Us Yuris are said to possess maximum Chakra or Mana, to be more certain in the entire Universe due to our respective devils. Noel belongs to the Silva dynasty which lives today on the planet of sBoksu, which is adjacent to us, who are the only once who can go neck to neck with the Yuris in terms of Mana content." "Hold on a second, I have heard that name earlier. Is it the same Silva dynasty from which 'Acier Silva' belonged, the one who lead humans into battle against the devils?" I said. "Yeah you are right, Noel is a descendant of lady Acier herself." "Just a sec, so are these people from the Silva dynasty, humans?" I asked.
"Partially, yes and, partially no, you see about 160 billion years ago, the king of god's 'Entei- the gallant' married the then queen of Silva dynasty, Josephine. They had 2 sons, Jack and James. Jack was sent to earth to rule as it was a nomadic region till that time. While James ruled the sBoksu. Several years later, there came a descendant from lord Jack's bloodline, named Acier Silva. After the war, to reward her lord Entei, shifted her to sBoksu, which in comparison was a much more developed planet. Hence earth was ruled by the other people prevalent there hence this explains the reason why humans don't have large Mana reserves. " He said.
"Yes I get it, just a final question- " "Now hold on a minute, I will ask you a question now and you will answer it." He said to which I agreed. "What happened when I left the ship, Sheeran." He asked. "Yeah, my next question was going to be the same, so the moment you left the ship, I sat down on the armchair, and relaxed a bit observing the device you gave me. Then suddenly, I felt a screeching noise, coming just behind me. I got up and examined the room. And I found carvings of claws on the floor. When I was returning to my place, I felt a hand, in my mouth, but the strangest part was I just felt it, I couldn't see it. I struggled to get away where, when it punched hard on my head since then I remember nothing. By the way, where did you find me?" I completed.
He place his index fingers and thumb on his cheeks and started thinking about something, then he said, "After you disappeared, I contacted Captain Tanhaus and reported him, as he was the closest help to me at that time. I told him everything about what happened and showed him a body, I found which looked like you initially and had a mark on its neck. Captain ordered his ship to go to North West, after about 2 hours of travel, we reached an abandoned planet about which I was unaware too. Asking him anything was in vain, as he wasn't in a mood to answer. Both of us left the ship and wandered the planet which surprisingly had a stable oxygen level. We eventually found a hut, inside which you were lying unconscious. We collected you and Captain Tanhaus left at once saying that he had some very important work to do."
"Yeah actually I too experienced something peculiar, it was a dream yet the feeling was very strong," I said and told him about everything that had happened, the boy, the woman, and my class. He halted for a while rubbing the area around his chin, his eye pupils were acting strangely, contracting and expanding continuously. After a brief moment, he said, "We will meet a certain someone tomorrow, who is an expert in stuff like this, and he can help us, at least I think so." I agreed and we left the garden.
Steven showed me 3 major landmarks of the city. The Yuri Hospital is specially made for the ones who get injured during any mission. The Parliament, which was a huge dome-like structure, located amidst a lawn, as big as a football field, said that my devil would be identified in one of the sections of the parliament, about 25 days from today. The parliament was pure white, with green as well as red grass growing on the lawn. I was weak in biology but I knew that it might be a certain kind of algae, as the condition here was appropriate for its growth. There was a single wide road joining the gate and the main door of the parliament.
Finally, we went to, what was called the most sacred place on the entire planet Tvettay. 'The Shrine of the Raging ones' is devoted to the valiant Yuris who gave their lives for establishing peace in the world. It had thousands and millions of graves and far away at the horizon, I saw a statue of a woman, carved out of the rock I suppose. Upon asking Steven, he said that it was their goddess, Demir, the one who keeps a watch upon the entire Omniverse and its people.
After having some delicacies, we left for Steven's house to rest a bit.
