This is the first part of a series of short stories about a girl who discovers the reality behind her past. She begins to wake up as she uncovers her extraordinary abilities.
I focused on one creature at a time while keeping a strong hold on all of them. I did this so that I could read their minds or at least understand what their intensions were. I started with the closest one which was about ten meters from our room. I could see what it wanted to do to Caleb as he moved towards the creature. It wanted so much to slit Caleb’s throat with its pronounced claws. It concentrated on Caleb’s jugular vein while it struggled to break free. I searched deeper in the creatures mind to try to find answers as to why it and the others were stalking us. In its mind I could see a vision of a huge creature that towered over the rest in size and height. It had enormous wings that covered the horizon and it had a hypnotic gaze that peered on all of its disciples. I was to be brought forth to this creature for unknown reasons but I was to be kept alive during the process. With a powerful scream, the vision ended and Caleb had taken the creatures life by decapitating it. Caleb proceeded to execute the rest of the creatures one by one in the same manner that he did the first. I felt their anguish and fear as Caleb approached them with the humming rapier. “Please let me go, please don’t let him kill me.” The creature’s intensions were sincere and I could feel its tears flow from its eyes. It longed to be with its mate and it did not want to die on this planet. I could feel the creature’s plight as it stopped struggling. I then searched for Caleb in my mind and I found him. “Caleb, don’t kill the creature with tears in its eyes, it is different”. Caleb spared the creature and continued to the slaughter the rest.
After Caleb had finished, he returned to the room and took me by the hand to the creature that had surrendered. I still kept my hold on it for I could still sense something threatening about it. There was a part of its mind that I could not access. It was as if the creature could intentionally block me from entering that section of its brain. As I let go of the creature I could feel its numb body reanimate itself by rapidly shaking in a vibrant shudder. It then started to bow before us in respect. The creature towered over us as it stood up in an erect manner. It was at least ten feet tall and it was humanoid in shape. It then began to speak telepathically as it did before. “You are the Arastethe’” it said. I searched in its mind to find out what the Arastethe’ were and I was speechless. The creature suddenly permitted me to enter the remote part of its mind. I could see immense beings of light that floated over a beautiful landscape of trees and streams. There was so much life and harmony in this vision. The creature spoke again and said “I will fight by your side Arastethe”. I then nodded in acknowledgment to accept its offer of help.
