Chapter 5 - A strange man

"are you hungry it looks like you haven't eaten in days maybe weeks... where are your parents." the man asked coldly his eyes were blue they commanded respect. the floor creaked underneath his weight the man was large 6,1 maybe 6,2, 200 pounds of pure mussel. what the hell does this guy eat.

"No I'm fine I'm used to it... as to my parents there both dead" i lied to the man about me being used to it. It was more of a half lie but none the less. I was very hungry, but i was not about to have a guy who i just met make me a meal. maybe if he had some ramen... strange i had never had ramen why was i craving it... that's what ill do if i make it out i guess ill have ramen. the money ill earn by being at the academy will be more than enough to at least get the synthetic kind.

"alright well if you do want any food I'm about to make soup if you would like some just ask me. Oh and some of my friends will be here soon. In all honesty I'm kind of surprised that your not asking more questions i mean if i were in your position i would be asking a lot of them right now." the man was right i was not asking questions because asking questions will get you killed in most scenarios.

 "i do have questions but i don't wish to pry you gave me a shelter that's more than enough" i had more questions how ever he said he had friends coming over. well that was intriguing and he wished to know who they were there names and there weaknesses.

"well if you wont ask ill tell answer your questions, no i mean you no harm, i am not a human, I'm what's called a planet eater, your location is west of the dream realm your not in space per say more like your seeing a fragment of space," what did this man just say he's not a human, he's a planet eater, I'm inside the dream. realm well of course i was, but there's not many first nightmares like this i mean this place was west of the dream realm. my geography is no good but I'm pretty sure a place like this has not been discovered... and he's a planet eater. safe to say that doesn't sound good at all 

"i doubt with a name like planet eater your not trying to hurt me but ill indulge a little. why did you save me for one for two why are you here though i think i already know. this planet is well destroyed and i mean i have so many questions about that alone." the man look at me his nose flared a little and he took a breath.

"for your first question its because your one of *them* even though the 6 were killed a long time ago here you stand your clearly not one of *them* but you share there smell there aura there strength even though its pitiful in comparison to there's. and for your second my name should give it a way I'm here to consume this planet its dying after all..."

what did he mean by "your one of *them*" who was them only if i had gone to school man...

"who is them?" i asked the man in witch he gave me a confused look like i had asked him a stupid question. dang it only if i wasn't born a outskirts rat i would know. well even if i had gone to school i might not even know who they were the government and the clans keep things hidden after all.

"um boy... your brothers and sisters....?" now it was my turn to give the man a weird look like he was stupid. the only brother and sister i knew of were rain and sunny the hell did he mean brothers and sisters...

"i mean i suppose it makes sense you look like you grew up with out the proper knowledge of who you were so i guess ill do the liberty of explaining it to you while i make my meal!" the man walked over to his pot above the fire and opened his hand inside it was a... planet not just any planet it was. the planet we were just at the man dropped the planet in the pot witch had water veggies and even some unknown meat i can only guess what it was. the man gestured towards a chair near the fire place telling me with his hand to sit down and relax

"ill stand i prefer it and tell me what you mean" i stood with a tall figure but i was still a scrawny 14 year old

"alright, alright boy." the man pause and then continued

"there was once 6 siblings not linked by blood but by soul. the fist and the oldest of them was Ronan he was tall and proud he carried a sword and armor he look like a true knight the man was uplifting and commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers he was a good drinking buddy and most considered him to be the most welcoming and friendly of the bunch of kids.

the second was Knox the he was a cocky scoundrel. that i suppose was his undoing in the end. some could say he could fight 10 men with only a pinky he was a hot head.

the third was scorch, his name fit him well he was always burning something the little devil he one time burnet down a whole city for messing with his favorite toy the he was a ass hole.

the 4th was Vega she was the most beautiful woman in all the realms they say with a single star she could make a man have a heart attack she was kind though she acted like the mother of the group always making them food and being sweet.

then there we the twins and they were related by blood and soul one was happy one was sad the first was Rash she was the sad one she could make just about any elixir, poison, and drink.

the next was Sora she did not like to where close that one more of a free baller there were several times where she was naked on adventures she could heal any wound no matter how dire i one time saw her rebuild a human heart from scraps she was gifted truly"

i looked at him like a crazy person looking at the round earth. Ronan, Knox, scorch, Vega, Rash, and Sora these people were made up i mean what kind of names were Scorch and Rash

"mhm so tell me well of knowledge where did you get this information" i said coldly the man looked at me and a smile appeared on his lips and then he began to laugh.

"well i raised one, fought another, and was friends with the rest" the man was very clearly lying i mean this is crazy talk sure i never had a education but i mean come on a person who burnt a whole city to the ground for playing with a toy a child could make a better story.

"what's next there were 7 gods. you make me laugh" i said not a single smile tugged at my lips

"well..." the man was suddenly cut off by the faint sound of the spell.... and then time froze.
