I Wasn’t Ready for This Blessings

We walk straight down around 20 minutes from the portal gates to the city, quite long but worth it. This city's vibes and infrastructures are another whole experience as I walk along the way. Around 200 meters from eyesight, I saw an enormous structure that looks like a colossal Greco-Roman temple. I could say it's way bigger than Angkor Wat, the structure of this building looks so futuristic but blended with Greco-Roman architecture. Its a palace I must say.

Grandpa and Kaylie stopped walking suddenly.

"We're here," Grandpa said. "Let's go inside."

As we went inside the palace, I saw a blue carpet that was stretching along from the main gate to the throne which is opposite from the gate. I would estimate the distance from the main gate to the thrones was about 250 meters. Talking about the thrones... those looked so elegant covered with gold on every side of it. Except the middle part, It covered with black color. It has a complex design that I can't explain the structure. I only wish I can make or buy one for my aunt. I am pretty sure she will be happy with it.

Grandpa went ahead as we walk a bit slower behind him. All the people inside the palace was looking at us with those judging eyes. Probably they were thinking that I look different compare to them. Perhaps a bit more than that, maybe they saw me as a disgusting creature compare to them.

I couldn't help but talking to Kaylie to ease my uncomfortable feeling.

"I never know that Atlantis is connected with Indonesia." I said. "It's hard to believe."

"There something that is actually beyond your expectation about reality." She sounded like she is lecturing me.

"What are you talking about?" I didn't get what she said.

"I am talking about the answer of your thoughts." She said.

"I never know you can answer some opinion about people perspective" I complained.

"Well do you believe with these now?" She talked to me like I am an idiot.

"I do now yeah..." I answered her

"Then you now believe with something beyond what you see in reality." She said it with sarcastic face and hand gesture towards me. Then she walked ahead.

Well, she had the point...

I guess I am an ignorance or an idiot on her eyes now...

Silly me.

"GILGAMESH, MY SON..."

That voice still stuck in my head until now, not because how loud it is, but because how creepy it is inside my ear drums.

"Father!" Grandpa smiled so wide. "Its been awhile."

"I miss you my son," That man was welcoming grandpa so warm.

Some lady came from the stairs that lies at the left side behind the thrones stand. She walked gorgeously towards grandpa.

"Oh my beloved son," the lady open her arms wide open and walked towards grandpa slowly.

"Mother, you still look beautiful as you are." Gilgamesh hugged her so tightly.

Have you ever seen an old people hugging their parents like a teenager?

Yeap... sounds weird right?

"Father, I brought him just the exact time like you wish." Gilgamesh told the man with pride.

The man looked at me from the tip of my toes to my face. His eyes were so sharps that I couldn't move while looking at him.

"You must be Zack my dear." he said. "I am Adam your direct ancestor and the great of great grand father of you."

"My... my... what a handsome man you are my child." the woman filled in directly to the situation. "I am Eve, your great of great grand mother son."

I couldn't say a word, They looked so different than the other human around me. They were taller compare to the others, Adam look so lean and wear a weird clothes somehow. He wore a clothes that look like Greek philosopher but the difference the clothes more luxurious compare to the philosopher. Its color white with Greco-Roman like design with gold color on every side line of the clothes.

Eve was even more luxurious, She wore a gold dress with complex Greco-Roman pattern on her dress. she wore a hills as well, with black and gold mixing each other as a color. She looked so beautiful and attractive at the same time.

"Zack, give them a bow" Kaylie told me to do so.

So I gave them a bow as they were looking at me doing it.

"What a pleasant surprise my son." Mr. Adam said. "Your father and mother were brave warriors."

"My what?" I surprised. "You know my parents?"

"Don't worry my child," Adam touched my left shoulder softly. "let us all talk in my private meeting room."

"Shall we my love?" Mrs. Eve said.

"After you my lady." Mr. Adam was being a gentleman

As both of them walked ahead, grandpa give us a head movement sign to follow both of them.

"Wait what are we gonna do?" I asked Kaylie.

"They will tell you some long story and they are going to give you some blessings."

"What?" I was so confused. "What blessing?"

"I don't know," Kaylie said. "This one I never experience nor see it with my own eyes."

"Come on man..." I mumbled. "These things are creeping me out."

"What are you creeping out about?" Kaylie asked me with her confuse reaction. "They are gonna give you blessings. They are not gonna torture you."

"Since I know you few hours ago, you never once try to convince me." I gave him a disappointing reaction.

"Whatever Z," she decided not to argue with me. "I told you its a blessing, if you don't believe me just come and see. Don't be a coward."

Kaylie turn back and followed them directly.

"Do you have to tell me that?" I took a deep breath and follow her.

Whatever she said awhile ago, I was still scared.

Blessings or not... I am not ready for this...
