Chapter 1 - The prophecy
Prophecies are usually fated, they say. It was destiny. Lucien Bert believed that at least but he found it utterly abnormal when he discovered this one. Later that night, his colleagues didn't want to hear about any of it.
They have always been absent minded anyway, Lucien thought. So he digged in researches and spent the whole night on it. It was past three now and his wife must be worried. He wasn't ready to go home yet though. Not until he was done.
In the dead of the night, they will appear
Two from the same light, broken and sent away
Two hearts with the same glow
Ascend to save earth when time is ready
Or perish it along with their powers...
Lucien couldn't think... Two hearts? Destroying the world? Could it be that the children found out about their prophecy research and decided to play a joke on them?
No!! Lucien's mind refuse to believe that. There has to be something, a sign.... Anything! And that's when he saw it.
The night was dark outside with the sole existence of one star. It's light was powerful, strong and beautiful in all the ways possible. Lucien blinked at the sight and glanced back at the prophecy.
In the dead of the night, they will appear...
So there must be another. Lucien searched the sky but the star was the only thing present. He glanced back at the parchment paper on his desk and frown. Two from the same light...?
Could that be asteroids? Million of thoughts raced through his mind and he struggle to concentrate and keep a clear view on the matter. It was probably nothing... But yet it kept bothering him.
As he glanced in the sky again, the star began to twinkle. How pretty, he thought, Maria would love it. His wife always loved sparkling things and love the way stars shine. He smiled at the thought. There was a sudden blur then. He blinked. Twice. The star was splitting...
Gasping, he rubbed his eyes. This wasn't real, it couldn't be. It was happening! Hurrying to get a closer look, he accidently knock out various contents on his desk. Pens, ink and paper shattered on the floor as he raced to the small balcony in the room. His eyes not leaving the star, he try to find his phone in his pocket to call his wife.
Before him, the twinkling star emitted such a magnificent glow as it began to tear itself apart to finally become two lights... Two stars. They circle around each other in the sky and Lucien gaped, not believing his senses anymore. He forgot about the call he was about to make and forgot about the rest of the world for an instance. They were beautiful. Lucien kept staring, he couldn't do otherwise.
In the blink of an eye, the first star felt. Like a meteroid, down to earth but Lucien couldn't move. His eyes wide open, he just stared as the second star felt too but in the opposite direction, down to earth...
Lucien woke up with a gasp and with the sun streaming down his face. His surrounding was strange. The events from last night came flooding back to him. He was still on the balcony and he couldn't even recall falling asleep.
