The Aurora Paradox

On a pitch black night, there hung a lone moon in the bounless sky surrounded by inky darkness. Its gentle rays were casting a soothing glow, which were sotflty illuminating the surroundings.

One would find difficult to see anything in this darkness.

Directly beneath the moon there can be

seen a snowy mountain reaching the limitless sky like it was reaching the heavens. The bottom of the mountain was submerged in water, and water seems to have no end.

On the peak of the mountain there stood a catsle, like might of the dragon. The walls of the castle were crimson red like they were painted with blood. The castle was so massive that even gate of the castle would take at least army of hundred to just open it.

Inside the castle, bone chilling wind of snowy mountain was running arround its corridors, which seems to have no end.The castle was empty not a single soul was inside the castle or in the entire mountain.

Within the castle depths, there was a massive room, filled with seats seems to wait an unseen audience. On the farway end of the room, there was a throne on top of an elevated platform. The throne was relesing a sinister aura, lethal to anyone who approaches it.

Yet yellowish flames were engulfing the throne as if attempting to erase the existence itself. But had no effect on the throne.

In the middle of this massive room,

there was a sword half dug on the ground. Its aura was more ominous than the throne itself. The air around the sword seems to bending the very fabric of space.

A single glace at it was enough to

convey the distructiveness it was capable of unleashing.

Some strange phenomenon unfolded inside the that large hall, as the sword starts rising from the depth of castle ground.The ground started to shake violently. The seats creaked and groaned under the strain of the shaking ground, threating to be broken into spilters.

After some time sword's tip was out of the ground and the sword was levetating above the castle floor. The sword was radiating a type of dark and menacing aura.

It was a full black sword from tip to the handle. It has refined double edge, which was slightly glowing red. The balde of the sword was made out of some black materiel, which looks sturdy enough to cut even diamonds with ease. It was a long sword.

When it was above the ground it starts glowing orange and lighten up the room. The light was so bright that, it even reached outside of the castle walls.

Ten minutes later the light was going back inside the sword, once illuminated room remainded silent as if nothing happen.

Soon after some time tip of the sword start cracking follwed by the the edge and the handle. As it was about to become speck of dust, the surrounding energy the mountain began to move at the direction of the castle.

A football shaped mass, which was glowing white, was formed above the sword and it was constantly absorving surrounding energy. The energy and aura of the sword was entering inside that ball. After some time ball changed its colour to orange as it stopped absorving the energy.

The long sword starts disappearing

like its was never existed.

A crack in space can be seen below the orb which was floating in air. The orb entered in that crack and disappeared. Leaving nothing behind but a silence.

Year 2651..

It was Christmas time, snow was falling from the sky. The sun was starting sunk in the horizon, the city of ' Azure ' was bustling with the noise of buildboards, commercials on big screens hanging from the tall buildings and people coming home from their work.

In an crowded area, a man can be seen inside a hotel celebrating his birthday. Candle was placed on the massive cake, enough to feed fifteen people.

A warmed eyed women seemed to be in her 60s was recording this scene in her mobile. As the man lights the candles with tiny flame released from his finger. He spoke to the women who was recording:

"Mom, come here let hotel staff do the recording" he said with a wide smile.

After heraring this she gave camera to a blonde girl who was wearing white shirt and a skirt matching the hotel's decoration.

After the celebration was over they stepped out from the hotel and started walking towards their home while having a conversation.

It was almost nightime.

As the both of them were walking on the sidewalk. They saw a boy, coverd in snow flakes, sitting on the ground likely to be seventeen years old, was wearing big black glasses which has many cracks on it .

The boy had a cylindrical tin jar in front of him. Which had some copper and a bronze coin. There was a banner made out of cardboard besides him which says:

"HEY , I AM BLIND. CAN YOU HELP ME TO BUY SOME FOOD".

The mother of the man felt very sad after reading this and seeing how miserable was that young lad. So she started searching her purse after some time she find someting and threw it at that tin jar.

A sound of coins colliding can be heared as the boy hear this sound he said

"Thankyou ma'am" with a bright smile on his face.

The mother and son duo countinued their walk towards their home.

After they left, the boy removed his glasses and lokked at the jar he can now see two bronze coin in there. He feel dissapointed and thought

'Tch, another begger pretending to be high and mighty'

He stand up on where he was sitting and left. After walking for sometime he reached in the slum area which was situated in outer area of the city there he walked towards a rundown single story house which was half destroyed.

Surrouunding houses were also in shambles same as this one.

He walked inside that house which has only one room left. There was a pile of cardboard in one side of the room. On top of that was a mattress which was not washed for who knows what. On top of it was some rags which seems to his clothes.

On the other side of the room was nothing.

' NOTHING ' .

There was a foul smell of rotten egg that was coming from the room.

As he sat in his make shift bed he ate some pieces bread which he brought on the way to his home from the coins he got from begging.

"This city is so unfair" he said with a sigh.

His voice was so weak and it was slightly trembling. As he was blaming the city for his condition he remembered something,

"Just one day from now" said with light grin on his face.

"I'll show all of them what I am capable of" said with serious tone.

This boy's name was "Leon"

Despite being 5'8 in height his body was very weak due to lack of nutrition. His hair was short, brown in colour with light hint of black . His eyes were black with no life in it. He has a jawline, due to his weakness in his body. His cheeks were sunken inside his mouth. One can see his ribs due to lack of muscle and fat in his body.

It was middle of the day, the snow stopped falling and light warmth of the sun was slowly melting the snow.

A boy with height 6'2 can be seen walking through sidewalk. He has black hair which almost reached his shoulder. His eyes were blue with full of life yet ready to pierce through warmth of the sun. He has a clean chiseled jawline and his build was was normal not too bulky not too fat. He looks quite attractive and giving off "young master" type aura.

Every person give him a second glance that walk past him. Men and boys were jealous of his looks and some of the girls were drooling seeing his face.

But as soon as they saw his clothes their opinion of him change drastically.

He was wearing a white shirt whose pocket seemed to forcibly tron. His black pants has slightly visible holes in it. He was wearing big brown boots made out of leather which was in slightly better condition compared to other things he was wearing.

Of course it was Leon. He was going towards a giant white building, almost reaching the clouds. Ground floor of this building was massive, it has like a 4 to 5 football field.

Yesterday's night Leon was sleeping while his stomach was growling, as if it was some kind of monster. Because he had gained nothing today through his begging.

"Agh it hurts" said Leon in painful voice.

Because of his body lacking fat and no food today, his stomach was hurting so much. Althogh he can tolerate pain but today's pain was unimaginable.

As he was laying on his makeshit bed.He saw crack open in the ceiling. He suddenly jumped out of his bed .

" No no no, where am I gonna stay now? " he was in distress seeing his ceiling open. He even forgot about his pain for quite some time.

Soon an strange orange ray of light started coming out of the crack. Leon was taken aback after seeing this, he was about to run out of his room but suddenly the that ray of light took shape of an orb.

The orb start decending from the ceiling at a very low speed.

As the orb was descending from the ceiling Leon was watching it with curious gaze, he had casted aside his fear. After some thought he started walking towards the decending orb.

' It can be a rare item ' thought Leon with his eyes locked on the orb.

But after Leon took his second step, orb immediately came towards him and collided with with a loud BANG that can be heard from outside of his room.

"What the fuc.." Leon said with surprised and anxious tone.

The orb was glued to Leon who was on the ground due to the impact. That orb was searching his way inside Leon body.

As the orb found its way, rays of orange energy released from the orb strated entering Leon's body through his mouth , ear , eyes and...

"F*** no, not there, please not there, I am not that kind of guy"

After some time as orb completely entertered his body.

Some time had passed but nothing happen as Leon was starting to stand up he heared a cute girlish sound in his mind.
