2 THE BLACK CRYSTAL CAPSULE
It's been 2 months since the Gail family found a child inside a strange black capsule shaped thing. Two months ago when Shinya saw a thing like fire descending extremely fast from the sky going to their corn plantation. She hurriedly called her father and told him what she just saw.
Shinya wants to laugh because of how weird her father's looks. A garlic necklace on his neck, sacred stones on his hand which they use for their spiritual devotions, And a cane on his other hand that he uses for walking.
When they had reached the corn plantation, thick smokes arising from a particular spot caught their attention.
At first her father got so hesitant on checking what's happening in that area near to their cellar. He keeps on telling her that they don't know what's on it, that maybe it could harm them or worse there might be bad creatures waiting for the first victim they can have on their little rocky planet. Because their elders believe that there are higher forces living above them. That there are still planets like them hiding above the heavy red atmosphere. Because none of them had gotten through the red clouds, no matter what they did.
But Shinya is a courageous, hard headed, curious and forceful beautiful 14 years old young girl. Convince her father to check it out and try to know that strange fire that exactly landed on their land, or else she will find it out herself. So they did continue walking, but before reaching the smoking hole, her father handed her some Sacred stones to make sure she would be safe and protected.
Sacred stones really are amazing stones, they exude and radiate forces that their body can cope with and can make them feel safe. The power of Sacred stones varies from its colors and sizes. The planet stones are made up of black, strong stones and cultivated land. It's season is unpredictable, even if it's land is rich and cultivated it is still hard to grow plants on it because of the unreadable weather.
It seems like the planet has the ability to torture them to it's finest. Some aristocratic men call their planet a living stone. Because when you are about to get your crop harvest, they believe that the stones will move and will send a great wind and will wipe out all the crops.
That is why it is very rare to have land produce food in planet stone. People here are making food via water rich in minerals and water creatures. They tend to have fishes and other edible creatures living on the waters. As much as they want to find another planet where people can live, they can't find even just one.They kept looking but still, all their aristocratic men failed to find another planet. Because of their heavy atmosphere not allowing anything to pass through it.
Shinya's attention got back when her father spoke, not letting her come near to the hole. And so she just made herself content in watching her father slowly walking and sliding down unto the hole filled with smoke that he seems to forget he has an injured leg.
"Holy Mother of Sacred Stones!" Her father unbelievably uttered, which excites her rather than feeling afraid. Her father's reaction made her hurriedly run and slide herself down into the hole too.
" What is it father?"
They both froze, looking at the naked young boy soundly sleeping on a strange black crystal capsule. His body is surrounded with white aura like light that sends coolness to whoever is near to him. While his looks are so out of this world that you can't resist its charm. They both take aback when the young boy opens both of his eyes and smiles at them.
"F -father, it's, it's a boy?"
" Y-Yes it is," the old man stammered as he grabbed his daughter's arm.
" I told you not to come near here! You stay away or we're both gonna be in danger if this boy is a son of an evil Spirit,"
It was a whisper yet full of authority and fear.
Fear that he might drag his daughter into damnation, it's what he believes because he's a kind of spiritual person after his late mother died. That made him believe that there are still powerful spirits surrounding them just living on the mystery Sacred Stones. And he believed that his mother is one of them now.
Then he looked at his daughter again. Maybe this is the sign? He just realized that everything is happening exactly as written in the old scroll. He looked at her with love and wondered, he told himself that he'll just tell his daughter about everything at the right time.
"But father look at him, he is so cute and adorable!"
And without a word, Shinya helped the young boy stand up, then she took off her cloak and covered it with the naked young boy's body. When she looked into his eyes, she seemed to be drowning into the deepest pit of her life, not finding any color to it other than black and bluish fire. She shuts and opens her eyes trying to ease herself and bring her senses back to the planet stone.
She didn't know why her father was not reacting badly or saying anything, ever since they got home. She's not sure if her father is mad or what? But all she did know is she got her father's permission by helping her setting up a bed for the young boy they just helped and is totally stranger to them. Like how strange she's been feeling since she touched the boy.
