During the process, I felt my veins bulge from my skin, my muscles working all around my body. My heart began to pace, during a whole minute. But then my body soon appeased.
After it was all over, the metal clamps were removed and I was instructed to remain and rest for the following fifteen minutes, at least.
Then I swung myself off the table, feeling amazingly good, more energetic than I’ve ever been.
EPILOGUE
Samantha and I sat on a bench at the park across from my house, enjoying the afternoon air, under the autumn’s colorful trees. We watched my little brother play soccer with his friends on the park’s huge lawn. Just a normal ten-year-old kid, simply having fun and enjoying life with a few friends, without any worries.
With Elites roaming around through time, controlling and changing whatever they want within their pathways, I felt more ready to fight against their deeds and to protect the people around me. But my life now consisted of not only helping my friends and loved ones, but also the whole world. Billions of lives around the world planned to be perished under the hands of a self-called superior race.
Samantha and I were now part of a great mission. But also part of a curse. A life that could be incredibly great or become a heartbreaking disaster.
But we must go on, no matter how hard it may get.
I closed my eyes for a brief moment, once again, focusing on the present, stop worrying about what may or may not come and just enjoy the mild breeze, sitting next to my girlfriend whom I love dearly.
“It’s quite amazing,” she muttered softly. “All of this happening to us.”
“I think so, too,” I said. “Our lives completely turned around.”
“Your brother isn’t able to transmit himself yet. He hasn’t mentioned anything about a weird dream?”
“No, he hasn’t. But I’ll be watching for that. It may happen anytime.”
“How are you feeling from all this … change you’ve just gone through?” she asked me.
“It’s already been a few hours. I feel great,” I smiled, gently taking her hand.
“You know? You’re quite handsome without glasses,” she alleged.
We drew closer and gave each other a little kiss.
“So, what next?” she asked.
“How about we take a break this weekend? Just you and me,” I suggested.
She nodded, with an agreeing smile. “What do you have in mind?”
“You said you wanted to go to Europe?”
“Absolutely!”
