I stared at the ceiling as the scene started to change. The blue sky, that was created by a hologram, was now replaced by the dull lighting ceiling in the training room. I felt my body being slowly lowered down on the ground as the pixels of the building that we were lying on started to dissipate.I saw Jack looking down at me with an awkward smile on his face. “Come on.” He offered me a hand, which I took, and allowed him to pull me up. I dusted my butt and saw my other teammates heading towards us with a really nervous look on their faces.“Huddle up, team. I would hate to see the general knowing that we lost.” Falco says through his nervous smiles.“It was a close call though.” Duke says and places a hand on my shoulder with a nod of approval. “It was just a millisecond d

The moment the elevator door dinged and opened, I could barely hear my surroundings. My heart was beating so fast that I felt like I was getting dizzy and couldn’t focus my attention to my surroundings. I hoped out of the elevator and placed a hand on the door as I slowly got out of the elevator. My ears were ringing and I could tell from the dark waters outside of the glass walls that I am at a lower level of the facility. The room was empty as if it was some kind of unfinished part of the Oceanary. What does Trei want me to see here? It was empty. Is this a prank? If it was then it was actually a clever one as the code actually worked.I started to head towards one of the glass walls to see what was outside. Maybe he wanted me to see something out there?

“Hey, excuse me umm...fellow Atlantean guy. I just wanna ask.” I paused as I addressed one of the workers in the garden wearing a green suit. “Do you know of a guy named Trei? Dark hair and silver eyes?”The girl cocked her head to the side in wonder. “Sorry, miss. We don’t know of a guy named Trei. But if you are looking for one with silver eyes then maybe you are looking for Colt.”Colt. That’s Trei’s last name. It must be him.“Can you tell me where I can find him?” I inquired. As a reply, the girl pointed towards one of the greenhouse to our right. I nodded at her. “Thanks!” And then I headed towards the greenhouse. There was no door or beeper for me to scan so I was able to go in wit

“Max!” Byron continued to yell at the Kraken that was treating the water as its fishing spot as it scoped up shark after shark. So far, it had caught three that it was raising in the air as if it was playing with it. “Don’t you dare put them in your mouth!” Byron ordered and the Kraken paused. It’s reptilian eyes turned and studied its master before it dropped the sharks down none too gently from the same height that it was carrying them. And then, Byron pointed a finger at him. “Good. Now it is time for you to go back before any of the surface dwellers sees you.”There was a sound that resembled a protest coming from Max when Byron told him to go home. “I don’t want to hear any excuses, Max. Go back. Now.” Byron said firmly. All of us were looking at the exchange closely as Skyr drove the

“Hey. Eyes on me, Nat!” Rachel was clicking her hands in front of my face as I continued to stare at an empty space.I couldn’t help it. I was too busy worrying about...EVERYTHING!Even though it has been a week already, I was busy wondering when I would meet Trei again. Busy thinking about Skyr’s departure and, most of all busy thinking about these estranged powers that I seem to have.I shook my head and the thought away so I could focus on the task at hand. “Right. Sorry.” I mumbled. “I didn’t get much sleep last night. I was...stressed.”Rachel and I were walking in the marketplace to find some new gears to customize her new handgun. Well not exactly a gear, but for a program update. I never knew that guns could b
