"Dad, can I talk to you? I want to tell you something important. "Alban approached Aldrich after they have another meal.
Because of the sudden evolution of Earth who tripled it's own size, the hours in a day is also tripled. At the beginning, it confuses the surviving humans and made it hard for them to adapt to the sudden change in timeline.
After thousands of years, with an hour containing 180 minutes, it became a norm for humans to eat many meals a day and sleep for 2 or 3 times in a day to accommodate what their body needs and the increased time they have.
Except when they are going to work,event,or school, There are no patterns or set time as to when they will have a meal or rest.They will do it when their bodies dictated. So now, there are no difference between night and day, only the hours matters.
Aldrich was surprised for a moment, wondering what Alban wanted to say. He looked at his wife. Felicia nodded then took Lili away, ready to their everyday beauty routine .
The boys need some privacy for their Boy's talk.
Aldrich turned to Alban after watching his wife carry their daughter upstairs. Alban took a deep breathe as he conditioned himself for the upcoming reveal.
"Dad, would you believe me if I said that the world is going to end in three years from now? No, I'm not crazy. " Alban added as Aldrich looked at him in disbelief.
He sighed and said"Believe me,Dad,three years from now, like two thousand years ago, the world is once again be plunged into total darkness for a week. After that, when humans all woke up, we will face another extermination as about half of the human population will turn into living corpse who will then eat their families and all humans that crossed their path. "
He paused, then continued. "Not only that, the humans who managed not to be zombified, some awakened incredible abilities like being able to control elements like water and fire, and some began to evolve animal characteristics and transform into one, inheriting the animals innate skills, like for example, when a human turned into a cheetah, he will exhibit their speed and agility. "
"Zombies are not only the problems of humans, as animals and plants will also evolve and have abilities themselves. All these three species will prey and eat on humans. Not only that, various natural disasters will occur one after another, completely devastating humans and their homes."
"Water and land will be polluted, a large number of humans will die due from starvation and lack of water. Climates will become unpredictable. Snowing now then burning later, freezing and roasting tge already devastated human population. That is the End of the world."
Alban stopped his speech, taking a break.
Aldrich massage his forehead as he asked. "Where did you get the information from? "
"I dreamed of it." Alban simply said as he calmly met Aldrich eyes.
When he read the speechlessness and disbelief in Aldrich eyes, he clasped his hands and think to himself.
"Dad needs a confirmation and something that can prove my words. "He looked down at his chest, then stood up.
Alban put his hand at the table, then concentrates as he closed his eyes.
Then, under Aldrich incredulous and amazed eyes, the table disappeared, almost managing to make Aldrich fall down as he was leaning on the table. He hurriedly stabilize his figure as he also stood up.
Alban opened his eyes, looked at his father, then stretch out his hand. Aldrich rubbed his eyes when the table that disappeared appears. His slacked jaw amuses Alban as he thought to himself.
"Huh,this old man need to train himself to keep his emotions from showing on his face, he looked stupid. Not good as me. "He boasted himself in a narcissistic fashion.
Uhm, Alban, my dear boy, do I need to remind you of the times you destroyed your own stoic,cold image?
From this,we can ascertain that Alban had already been tainted by the Lu's, becoming a full fledged Lu himself.
Aldrich's eyes grew dangerous as he caught a glimpse of the mockery and amusement in his son's eyes. 'This brat is clearly making fun of me!"
He straightened himself and stood straight, as if making himself taller to intimidate his small son. He proudly looked down his nose at Alban as he asked.
"Can you explain to me what just happened? "
Alban then explained to Aldrich everything, about Lili and his pendant, about it turning into a tattoo, about their spaces and their functions.
"So you mean that we can use the spaces you and Lili owns to store supplies and use those to survive the apocalypse? "
" Yes,that's exactly what I meant Dad. We need to get ready. 3 years may be along time, but when facing the End of the a World, it is not. "Alban replied seriously as he tilted his head to look up his Dad.
Ugh, he hates looking up to his dad! His neck hurts! He must drink a lot of milk to grow taller than him! He childishly thought.
Aldrich smiled deeply as he guessed what Alban was thinking based on his expressions.
As time passed, maybe because of Lili's influence and the security and love Alban felt from his new family, his guard was slowly put down, his expressions growing rich as he is already unable to maintain his mask.
Often showing his emotions and thoughts on his face as all children would when they are in a young age.
Alban glared at Aldrich as he caught him smiling. He knew that Aldrich was making fun of him!
I have to say, these two really know each other well because of their various under the table clashes. It's like two kings cannot be at the same territory, or two tigers cannot be at the same mountain.
Aldrich reached out to pat Alban's head, more specifically, tried to make Alban lower his head. To which Alban refuses to do so, stubbornly keeping his stance. This brat!
" We will have family meeting regarding these. We have to decide the best course of actions and what we need and what we have to do. Let's go. "
Aldrich gestured to Alban, leading as he climb the stairs with Alban following him. They are going to their wife/mother and daughter/sister.Time to have a family meeting.
Aldrich fully manifested his wife's influence on him, managing to quickly recover from the unbelievable scenery he had witnessed and what he heard from his son. He truly is an indomitable man.
