Birth of a Guardian

Inside a room is a man burning with fever.

Everyone is very anxious because of what happened to him and also what is out there.

Armed forces are waiting for something. A sign that the group dies. Two men are guarding the unconscious young man because someone tries to kill him after it's known that they were attacked.

That attempt resulted in a bullet to the head.

"Someone dress as civilian and make every one of those gang on shoot sight." Said by a man with a scar on his face. A uniform of army.

"Yes, Major Arjun!" a soldier walks out and relay his message.

Under the sun is an explosive barrel that just waiting for a spark to come and chaos will proclaim it's time.

NEE Day 3

Early morning a man is shivering in his bed. 

"Ughh... where am I?" Ayaan woke-up in a white room.

A scrambling sound came.

"Ayaan! Thank God you are okay!" An aged woman said.

"Amma, I'm fine." A weak smile emerge. Thinking about what happen he is glad that he survive again.

"Ayaan.. you're eyes." She points at him.

"What happen?" He feels scared.

"Your eyes, It's become brown. Your pupil all become deep brown. What happen?" She asks.

"Ahh!! The stone!" He suddenly stood up. Due to panic, he raises his hands up to inspect but an earth wall is created in front of him.

He froze on the spot. He slowly lowers his hand. He discovers weird energy coming from his heart The wall slowly shrinks.

"Fuck..." He said unconsciously.

Then a soldier comes to him.

Despair came to Ayaan as he recognizes him. The man behind Mekha.

The smiling man pulls his gun and shoot.

*Banggg..

"No!!" Ayaan raises his hands sideways it encloses him and his Amma inside.

Gunshot continues to rang.

"Get out here!! I have your sister!!" The man shouts.

Ayaan lowers when he hears the gun clicking.

At fast action, he lowers the dome and raises one hand in the man's direction. The soil rises around the man and harden. It binds all his body.

"Let me go!!! Let me go! You beggar!!" He shouts.

Ayaan is visibly weakened as he kneels and beads of sweat roll down.

"Are you okay Ayaan?!" His Amma asks.

"Yeah, and lucky." He laughs lightly.

"I will kill your sister! Let me go!" The man continues to shouts.

"No one will kill anybody Anru, I didn't think that you are the one behind this. For what? You build your own kingdom?" Major Arjun said with a young lady behind him.

"Brother!! Are you okay!?" She runs to Ayaan.

"Yes, and new hope."

They stare at Ayaan as they saw the man is bound by the hardened soil.

"What happen, young man? How can you do this?" Mjr. Arjun asks. A natural pressure is leaking from him.

"Stone, during the run I stumble upon a stone emblemed on a huge tree. I went under its roots and I stumbled, when I stand I saw a stone and it was like a diamond but has a glowing inside it. I don't know what happen but suddenly the stone was gone and I feel so weak but I force to run for my life." He said while thinking about what happen but nervousness still in his voice. He didn't know what will happen to him ask he is now different from them.

Mjr. Arjun put his hand inside and pull something.

"This?" Mjr. Arjun presents a glowing light red stone. It was like a gemstone but also a diamond as it's glowing light is scattered in different directions and intensity.

"Yes! That one! But its glowing is lighter." Ayaan answered.

"Did you say you saw it emblemed on the tree? What happened to the tree?"

"It slowly age and dies." He said honestly as it was the thing that happened.

"Follow me." He then turns to the soldier outside. He gestures a throat slash.

He made a decision that will make others view him as a tyrant but he knows more unstable factor is more less they survive. All upper positions in the gang will have them and their family executed.

Major Arjun lead them to a large tree but it was still short said by Ayaan but Major tries putting in on the tree.

He pushes the stone to the trunk of the tree. It goes in like a hot knife to butter but the trees die after a minute.

Hope-filled him. The glow becomes deeper.

Now finding these stone and a host is a must. He doesn't know if this will give him or his people power but according to Ayaan's experience, it does.

"Ayaan, I am getting old. Even if I manage to have power. The settlement will still be the in the hands of you youths. For us train and become more powerful. We old are just the guide. This is your era. We will support you all our life." Major Arjun said while looking at the bright sun.
