16 Destressing

Sam's eyes shot open as he shot back in his chair at the kitchen table. Instantly sam was on his feet.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself, "great just great" he groaned as she picked up the chair he knocked on the ground. Poking his untouched sandwich, he grumbled more unpleasant things under his breath before he drew a heat rune and used it to return the sandwich to it's freshly done temperature.

After silencing his stomach he checked the time to see how long he was out. Five hours he has been out for about five hours, no wonder he felt stiff.

After washing his plate sam headed up to his room, to grab his combat gloves and then went to the back yard but not before filing a bottle with cold water and ice. In the back yard, he dragged out the hoving sandbag his family-owned from the shed.

Putting the bag down sam began stretching he was not in the mood to pull something.

When he was done stretching he turned on the sandbag on he set it a low evasive mode. Taking a step back so the bag could rise off the ground sam put his gloves on and raised his fist.

Letting out a breath sam threw a light punch at the bag. The bag quickly moved out of the way. His eyes narrowed before throwing a fast punch, This one hit but the bag didn't budge. The next punch was strong and caused the bag to move a foot back.

"I really have weakened" the boy mumbled to himself. Then he charged at the bag.

The next ten minutes were filled with sam warming up on the bag. Backing up sam taking a couple of sips of water before he took a deep breath and screamed in rage as his eyes turned demonic red. Charging at the bag full force he unleashed a combo of punches on the bag.

"I can't believe it" the dark-haired boy screamed as he backhanded the bag. "After four year of calm, of peace, of happiness." with each word his fist hit the bag with all of his strength.

Leaping back from the bag sam charged back at this time attacking with his legs instead. "And now" hitting the bag with a partially strong knee strike "and now I'm heading back into my nomad years" he screamed as the bag flew away from him.

After that sam began to simple wail on the bag, his strikes fuelled by his emotions most were one he buried long ago. He hit the bag every way he knew how. Punch, kick, elbow and knee strikes, picking up the thing and slamming it, a german suplex, chopping and stabbing it with his hand.

He unleashed everything at it until around ten-thirty when most of his emotions had settled all except one. Flopping onto his back sam began to cry not quietly, for the next few minutes sam laid on the ground wailing as twin waterfalls came from his eyes.

When he sam gained his self-control back he got off the ground and beat on the sandbag a few more minutes before turning it off. Placing the bag back in its spot in the shed grabbed his water bottle and took a few sips before he began his cool-down exercises, drinking more water between them.

When he was done with his cool down he had back inside and put some water to boil he was going to need it soon. Going upstairs he enters his room to gather a towel and some clothes for bed.

Placing the towel in cloths in the bathroom he used the bathrooms control to change the overhead shower into a tub. While the change happened sam opened the sink cabinet and grabbed one his bath bombs, a few scented candles, and a small white corked bottle.

After the tub finished forming sam turn on the water to a relaxing temperature, well for him. Throwing in the bath bomb sam began lighting the candles with the spark rune.

After he lit all the candles. Sam grabbed the white bottle, he held it out in the palm of his right hand and spoke with a bit of annoyance," by the grace of the holy lord" then using his left and he drew a white glowing cross in front of bootle.

The crossfaded into the bottle followed by the cork popping out. Catching the cork sam began to pour the contents of the bottle in the tub. As the sparking liquid fell into the tub sam thought back on how he got the bottle, it wasn't fun and mildly painful but at least he got what he came form and a bonus of a preacher license.

"That's enough holy water," he said as he put the cork back.

Putting the bottle away and turning off the water sam began to remove his clothes revealing to the world his flawless skin except for a small black heart tattoo on the left side of his chest. Once all his clothes were sam slipped into the tub, ignoring the stinging feeling of holy meeting his skin, resting his head on the edge he closed his eyes.

For a good while sam laid in the tub and as he did the world received a big shock as the entire sky was covered in a violet and blue northern lights, prophets fortune-tellers any in general with power to see or predict the future got the same two messages the first was that a natural disaster level being was reawakening the second was a new immeasurable power has just been born, the world leaders were informed within the hour, discussion and planes had begun to form by midnight but all were afraid it may not be enough.

Back with Sam, he had washed up and gotten out of the tub. After drying off and putting on his clothes that consisted of a sleeveless gray tee and blue basketball shorts with grey highlights. Uncorking the tub and putting out the candles Sam exited the bathroom.

After hanging his towel in his bedroom he grabbed the quilt in his closet. The quilt was quite ugly in all honesty made with a mix of bright almost neon colors squares and an almost white yellow border, but it was made by someone held in his heart and had plenty of happy memories attached to it.

Bring the quilt with him downstairs he laid it on the couch while he poured the water he let boil during his bath into a cup with a few peppermint tea leaves.

Placing the cup on the living room table he turned on the tv and connected it to his bracelet and put on one of his playlists, the one labeled happy.

The playlist was full of song that brought sam a good mood either because of the lyrics and melody or because there were good memories associated with them.

Letting the music plays in the background sam warped himself in his quilt and opened a book he had saved on his bracelet. The book was a kinda cheesy romance novel a great deal of action about a space pirate who accidentally steals a priceless gem along with a princess and her male servant. As they were being chased across the galaxy romance blossoms but the author of the book hasn't had it clear between who yet.

Sam himself was betting on it being between the space pirate and the male servant because of the looks the servant was giving the pirate when he thought no one was looking. His mother thought it was between the pirate and princess because she thought they would be a cute couple, his dad thought it would between the servant and the princess because they were already close when the story began and the situation would allow them to grow even closer.

This is how he spent the rest of his night reading while he listens to music with the occasional sip of peppermint tea warped in an ugly quilt with his senses adjusted to give him the most comfort until he fell asleep and didn't wake till his friend daniel knocked on the front door.

But that is later now hundreds of sextillions of light-years away what appears to be seven beams of light are converging. When the lights converged they mixed together into a ball of light grew to the size of a small star before shrinking into a two-story-tall female shape being of light.

This was the companion, she floated in space for a moment before shooting off into the distance. She flew as if she was dancing with a face splitting on her face.

After she had traveled to the edge of the universe, she stopped in front of a ridiculous sight, an enormous antimatter and black batter field, on the right side of the field was a black hole the sucked in the black matter and antimatter, on the left side was a white hole that was spewing out energy that turned into black matter and antimatter, inside the field are countless white stars that were constantly moving due to the gravity of the other stairs ad the black and white holes, were also a few comets flying around capable of smashing Jupiter to space dust.

The companion flew into the deadly space and moved with ease using the gravity of the stars to move seamlessly avoiding the dangers, until she arrived in front of one certain star, And then dived into it.

In the center of the star sat a small hole in space. The companion entered this hole and on the other side way what could be described as the garden of Eden universe edition. As she enters the garden she rose above the tallest planets and soared over them. She flew to the center of the vast garden and that was a small stone altar laying on that altar partially cover in roots and vine was the source.

The sources current form was that of a male shaped light of about 14 years old, what would immediately draw your eye among seeing him is what looks like a giant black wiggling scar located over the place of the human kidney and a larger cut in his form over the location of the human heart.

The companion gently landed next to the altar and waved her hand to remove the greenery covering the source.

Sitting on the altar next to the source she began to talk," it has been so long since I visited, hasn't it? I have done so much in the time I was away." the companion sounded like she was going to cry.

"I'm not sure if you can hear me but if you can you're going to love the stories I have for you." and she began to tell him everything thing she had done while he was resting from how the universe had grown to the lord she raised.

She used her power to project images of the events to bring forth smells and sounds. She told the stories aware that the corners of the sources lips hand turned up.

Back at sam's house at around midnight in the teen's room, three softly glowing orbs rose from under his floorboards. For a moment the orbs floated in silence before the small one about the size of a tennis ball started making noises similar to the sound of a small bell.

*$(!@&)^$^$(&$*@$^%(#&!

The largest the size of a basketball respond with noses similar to a hawk.

)($^&$^$%@*^!*%^#&$^#(#&

The largest and the smallest started to argue and were quickly interrupted by the middle size one making noises similar to a lioness

)&$^$^!&*$&#*$^*)$&@

With that, the middle size orb went downstairs, and after a moment the other two orbs went after it.

When the orbs arrived downstairs they paused at the sight of sam rapped in his quilt out cold before they speed over to him making panicked sounding noises before the smallest made a certain sound.

*(&(#^$##

The other two respond in sync before they all began to float above sam's body in a kind of orbit as they began to glow an array of calming colors, they flew around him for a good hour before they landed on sam, the smallest rested under one of sam's arms, the largest landed on his stomach, and the middle size took its place by on sam's head. Throughout the night they continued to glow in calming color for the boy who allowed them to stay despite the pathetic ghost they were.
