Chapter 2 Connecting Dots

Skylar begins the story...

Ash said, "Matt, wake up! Matt, you have to see this." Matt asked, "What's the big hurry? Can I take a nap? I'm tired, can't you see?" "I saw something really cool in the woods. You should see it right away "said Ash. Matt said, "Leave me alone, you go. I don't want to see you or your stupid things." "Okay, if that's what you want, I'll go by myself and check it out," Ash said. Matt says, "Wait, you idiot, let me get up and put something on first. I can't let you go alone in the crazy woods." Ash said, "Great, now get up and come with me." Matt wears a jacket and they both go into the woods.

"Hey Matt, are you watching what I'm seeing?" Ash inquired. "Yes, you idiot, I'm watching it as well. It's an apple "Matt stated. "Matt, the apple is yellow and the only one on the tree. I've never seen an apple like this before. I want to eat it because it looks so delicious" Ash stated. "Are you crazy or what, can't you see it's not an apple, it's some fruit that could be dangerous and you want to eat it?" Matt exclaimed. Ash approaches the tree, climbs it, plucks the apple, and begins to eat it. "You're an idiot," Matt said. Ash bites the apple and says, "Do you want a bite? It's so tasty and delicious. You should take a bite because it's so delicious ". Matt approaches Ash and takes the fruit from him, grasping, inspecting it, and smelling it to be certain. "Just eat it you idiot, it's just awesome you've never had an apple like this," Ash says. Matt takes a bite and says, "Yes, you're right, it's really tasty," before finishing the rest. He collapsed on the ground and became unconscious just as he was about to say something. Ash approaches and checks, and he, too, falls to the ground.

In the evening, Uncle Max became worried and went on a search for both. After a few hours of searching, he discovered both of them lying on the ground. He approached, checked, and awoke them. "Matt, Ash, wake up, what happened son?" said Uncle Max. Matt awoke, stood up, and asked, "Uncle, how did you know we were here?" So it's evening, and you both went out in the morning, and when I returned, I didn't see you, so I got worried and came here." said Uncle Max. Ash awoke and asked, "Who are you and why am I here?" Matt stated, "It's me, Matt, and this is uncle Max. Is everything okay with you? ". "I don't know you, and how am I your brother," Ash said. "Uncle, what happened to him? He has forgotten you and me both," Matt said to Uncle Max. He is so stupid that he saw a fruit, ate it, and then gave me half of it ". "Got you, you idiot, I'm just kidding," Ash begins to laugh. Uncle Max begins to laugh as well, and Matt smacks him on the head and says, "you idiot, you scared the hell out of me." According to Uncle Max, "Stop fooling around and let's go home. It is now dark here ". They all leave and walk to their house.

Uncle Max asked them during dinner, "what happened with both of you, and what did you have that made you unconscious?" "Uncle, it's nothing, leave it," Matt said. But the fruit was delicious, wasn't it, Matt?" said Ash. Matt smacks him on the head again and tells him to "stop acting like an idiot and grow up and eat your food and go to sleep." "I am done here and I am going to sleep," Uncle Max laughed, "and your punishment Ash is that you have to clean my dishes, and Matt you sleep after throwing out the garbage." "No uncle, not me, I'll only do my dishes," Ash replied. Matt hit him again on the head and said, "Go to bed, I'll do the dishes and throw out the garbage."

Ash and Uncle Max went to their compartments while Matt was doing the dishes. In the meantime, when Matt was doing the dishes, he had a headache, which grew worse as he was cleaning. He went near the first-aid box and was about to eat the medicine when the headache stopped. And a voice came in his head that said, "Son." Matt became terrified and went to Ash, attempting to awaken her. The voice started to grow louder, and he thought that waking up Ash would not be the solution. He thought that some fresh air would help, so he came out of the cabin and sat on the stairs. The voice in his head said, "If you want relief, follow my instructions." He first ignored it, but then the voice of Uncle Max came and said, "Son, follow the voice." Matt started to follow where the voice took him. The voice took him to the same place where he ate the fruit. The voice said, "Son, sit here and talk to me. I will ask you five questions." "If you give me correct answers, this headache will go, and it will give you powers that you cannot imagine, and if you fail, then I will let you go to your house." At first, he thought that he was dreaming, but then came the voice of Uncle Max, and it said, "Son, this voice will guide you to places you have not thought of and answer his questions." The voice said, "Are you ready, son?" Matt replied, "Yes." Voice asked him his first question, "What is the need for a son"? Matt replied, "A son is the successor of the father." The voice asked the next question, "Are you a son or a father?" Matt replied, "I am neither a son nor a father." The voice asked the third question, "If you are not a father nor a son, then what are you?" Matt replied, "I am a brother." The voice asked him the fourth question: "Why are you a brother but not a father or son?" Matt replied, "Because I do not have a father and not even a son, but I have a brother." The voice asked the last question, "How many questions have I asked you?" He thought for a few minutes and answered, "Sir, you have asked me six questions." The voice said, "Which was my first question?" Matt replied, "Are you ready? That was the first question." The voice said, "Answer my last question." Matt replied, "I already answered it." The voice stopped, and Matt's headache also stopped. At first, Matt thought he did not answer correctly. He was headed to his house, and Matt again started to have a headache, but this time he did not hear any voice, and he went straight to the cabin and lay on the bed with Ash, and fell asleep.

Matt and Ash were sleeping on the same bed at two a.m. when Matt yelled at Ash, waking him up. Ash also woke up and asked, "What happened-why did you shout?" Matt said, "I saw a dream in which you and I were fighting, and you killed me." Ash said, "What, how can that be possible?" Leave it and sleep. Matt again tried to sleep, and the voice came again, but this time he didn't have the headache. So he tried talking to the voice. He asked the voice, "Did I give the correct answers?" The voice said, "Son, if you had answered incorrectly, then I would have stopped talking, but your answers were all correct." "Come into the basement if you want to know what's going on." Matt went into the basement as the voice instructed. The voice said, "Look at any photo and look at it for a few seconds, then you will know what you have got." He took a photo of a girl and saw it for a few seconds, and then the voice of that girl came, and he was shocked at it. Then the voice told him to think of any person he loved. He thought of his brother Ash, and Ash's voice came into his head, and the moment he heard his brother's voice, he got scared and went upstairs to Ash, and he went near the bed, but Ash was not there. He looked for Ash in the room, but he didn't find him. Then the voice of Ash came, and Ash said, "Come in the lawn; I am there." He went out on the lawn, and Ash was sitting on the grass. He went near and said, "Ash, are you hearing me inside your brain?" Ash replied, "Yes, Matt, I can talk to you." Do you know what I saw in my dream? Matt asked, "What"? Ash said, "I saw an army of soul mongers that are hidden in the woods, and I can talk to them and control them." "What, how is that possible?" said Matt. "Matt, I am going to get them, and I will conquer the whole world with you," said Ash. Matt replied, "No, we will not do anything; I am waking up Uncle Max." Matt was about to go inside, but Ash said, "Uncle Max is not inside." "Then where is he?" asked Matt. "I do not know I am going to the woods to get my army; are you coming with me?" "Stop what you're thinking; we're brothers; we have to be together," Matt said. "I'm going and asking you one last time, are you coming?" Ash said. Matt said, "If that is the course you want to take, you can go, and for the sake of righteousness, I will be there to make sure that you will never succeed in your wrath upon humans." "If that is the case, then forget that you had a brother."

And like this, they both separated, and one took the road of good while the other took the road of evil," said Skylar. "So this is the story behind this whole ordeal," said Cavil. "No, it is just the beginning," said Skylar. Cavil asked, "What more is there?" "You told me almost everything." "My grandfather has chosen you, and now you will serve the truth," said Skylar. "Wait! What? I do not have time for that; I am just a normal boy, and I have my own life issues. I cannot live here in this cabin forever. "My life is mine," said Cavil. "So you are like him," said Skylar. "Like who?" asked Cavil. Skylar replied, "Like Ash." "You do not know me; I am an ordinary boy, and I have a lot of problems in my life," said Cavil. Skylar replied, "You are among those few people who have this power. You are a time warper "You can travel through the timelines," said Skylar. "What do you mean?" "I did not get it." While Skylar was about to say anything, Bosco returned and said, "Boy, you do not know what you have got." I am Matt's son and the father of this girl. I was searching for that fruit, and you got it. That means you are the chosen one after Matt. You are a time-warper. You will have a holdover of the time, its timelines, and its time zones. You cannot, however, change it. "You will be able to travel in timelines and time zones, but for that, you will need to go through what my father taught me." "That's a lot of it; I will not do anything; is there a chance I can undo all the changes and leave this place?" says Cavil. "Son, you have got a lot of responsibilities." You have to do this, as Ash has almost destroyed half of the timelines and time zones in his search for you. "You are the only possibility of saving the entire universe if you back out; we will all die soon." "But I am just a boy; how can I handle all this?" "I know I have powers, but I do not know how to use them." "Son, me and my daughter are here. "We will help you in this whole ordeal." "Do not worry, you have us now; let's go inside and have the food that I have prepared." The three of them went inside, and Bosco started watching TV, and Skylar went into the kitchen, while Cavil sat on the rocking chair and was thinking. After a few minutes, he fell asleep and had a dream, through which Matt tried to talk to him.
