Chapter 1: Golden eyes
"Thank you sir for using our service," I said.
I work in a restaurant as a part timer, as University student I have to maintain time properly.
Some for study , some for job and remaining thinking about my 'Golden eyes'.
Yes ,unlike others who have black, Blue, brown and many more, I was born with unique 'Golden eyes'.Through this very 'Golden eyes' I was able to see something colourful bright smoke in living and non living things.
In living things this bright smoke energy spread like human nervous system or spider web in human body, while around in one place this energy gathers in the form of white bright ball.
And in non - living things It spread in accordance with nature's flow but there were no gathering.
This always wondered me what exactly is this but right answer never came to me.
In childhood, I thought It was just hallucinations or something my mind created on it's own, but as I grew, I started to understand that how different and unique my eyes are from others. I have met some doctors regarding my eyes and they all said same line 'there is no particular reason or illness for this phenomenon, It is just caused by nature' or so they thought.
Anyway,It was already late evening and also time I head back home.
...
When I arrived home, I placed my bag on side table and laid down on bed. It was really tiresome day.
For killing some time I started tv to watch. there was some debate going on.
"We have researched regarding this phenomenon but this is really unforseen event. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring Earth's view of the Sun, totally or partially."
"Such an alignment coincides with a new moon, indicating the Moon is closest to the plane of the Earth's orbit. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured"
They were talking about tonight's solar eclipse but I was not that interested cause I was really tired, so after switching off the tv I closed my eyes.
As I tried to sleep.....
*DING DONG*
The sound of doorbell rang in my ears as I opened my eyes.
"Coming" I said.
I got out from bed and opened the door to see who could be at this time around.
"Aunt Celia !" I said.
But she didn't respond to me and instead peeked into my room, as I live in small apartment my room was not that big, over the right side of the door there was kitchen and I knew she is looking at kitchen which was clean because I haven't cooked anything yet.
"Here," She gave me a plastic bag and said, "I knew you probably haven't eaten anything yet because of your late work, So I brought you something to eat."
I never got to see my parents because they died when I was very young since then my distance relatives looked after me.
"Thanks aunt," I said as I took the bag and asked, "How is Ayla doing?", Ayla was aunt Celia's daughter and my cousin.
"She is doing well, Her final exams are coming, so she is preparing for that." Aunt Celia said.
"Oh!" I said.
"Okay, take good care of yourself Alaric, I have to go back home now," She said and left.
I locked the door again and placed the food next to my bag. I was tired so I needed some rest before dinner.
Soft and bright moonlight basked me from window as I sat Idle on the bed. My gaze turned toward outside through window, finding the source of light and I can see bright full moon was hung on the night sky,
Tonight seems little different from usual nights. Only moon was full and bright but sky seems dimmer and little darker, It was not that noticeble at first glance but difference could be seen with keen eyes like mine.
This moon seems mixture of orange red, greyish silver, and most importantly unnoticeable golden. It was really mesmerizing scene.
I don't know if others can see it or not because there was no one around me to ask. But somehow I know only I can see it. There was some sort of connection between this moon and my 'golden eyes' which was brighter than ever in presence of this moonlight.
And it brought back many questions regarding my eyes in my mind like ' why my eyes are affected by this moonlight and why it is glowing brighter in this particular moonlight' , ' why tonight's night is very different'. It was nostalgic feeling to see this mysterious and beautiful side of moon.
I was tired so I cast aside this thoughts and again laid down on bed closing my sleepy eyes even forgetting about dinner.
SOMEWHERE IN VAST SPACE....
just like water flows in river like that many different gases,dust particles and countless primal matters were pulled together by gravity flows and formed nebulas.
Many stars were twinkling,if one were to see these stars they will think that they were all individual stars twinkling very far from each other but this was not the case for binary stars.They were made from two separate stars and gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other, but since they rotate very close to each other they seem like one.Just like Yin - yang rotate around each other like that many binary stars could be seen rotating around and twinkling creating very wonderful scene.
Galactic clusters which were made out of Ten of thousands of individual galaxies illuminated this dark and silent space. Even some superclusters were there as well, It's presence alone was massive enough to think that there could even exist anything bigger than this. Bright enough to rival god of light Itself.
In amidst of this something very bright, colourful and without having any particular shape emerged out of nowhere.
In the whole multiverse many phenomenon happens and there is many possibilities to something be created and be destroyed.
Created thing can be similar to something already existing thing in one way or another or there can be something entirely new and unique on it's own. And in eternal time of multiverse there is another possibility something to be created which is already existing.
But this bright colourful light is something very unique because it's possibility to be again created, will never ever happen in all of eternity.
This event was very grand because of it's rarety and uniqueness.
It slowly started to move and in blink it disappeared. And when it appeared it was on top of Alaric, who was sleeping. It slowly started to descend on Alaric's chest and merged with him. Alaric's body started to glow and in within seconds his body disappeared.
