Chapter 3 Destiny Prevails

In the dream.....

Cavil was lying in a bed. He opened his eyes and looked everywhere; the whole room was white. There was a door on the right of the bed. He stood and walked towards that door, and the moment he opened that door, there were doors everywhere. It was like a puzzle; he was stuck, but a voice came into his head that said, "Come and open the door on your left." He walked towards the door on the left and opened it. Again, there were thousands of doors. He tried to go back, but the door through which he came in vanished. Then again, a voice came into his head that said, "Open the door on your left." He did as he was told, and every time he opened a gate, thousands of gates appeared, and every door he came through vanished. It happened a few times, and he got irritated. Then all the doors vanished and just one door was left, and Matt came and asked him to relax. "Who are you?" What is this place? "Can you get me out of here?" said Cavil. Matt said, "Son, you do not know me, but I know you." "I am Matt, and I want to talk to you. Relax and pay close attention to what I'm saying. "Do you know who you are?" Cavil replied, "Yes, I am Cavil." Matt said, "That is your name." My question is, "Who are you?" Cavil said, "I am a boy." Matt said, "This is your gender." My question is, "Who are you?" Cavil said, "I do not know." Matt said, "Find your destiny; that will tell you who you are." You said you wanted to go home when you were talking to Bosco. "Find your real home, because your home is your destiny." Cavil was about to ask where his home is, but he woke up, and Skylar was shaking him and waking him. He opened his eyes, and Skylar was shouting, "Wake up! Wake up, Cavil. He woke up and asked her, "What is wrong?" "Why is she shouting?" Skylar said, "We have to run; there are soul-mongers outside the cabin." Cavil asked, "Who are soul-mongers, and why do we have to run?" She said, "I will tell you that on the way; just come with me." He said, "What about Bosco?" Where is he? She said, "He's not at home; it's just us two; let's be fast." They both left the cabin and ran into the woods.

After running for a few hours, they took a rest and sat under a tree, where Cavil asked Skylar, "What is a soul monger, and why should we be afraid of them?" Skylar replied, "Didn't I tell you that Ash has an army of soul mongers, and they feed on the souls of living beings?" Ash has become aware that you are here. "What should we do?" said Cavil. Skylar said, "We should better look for my father." He will tell us what to do in this situation. "Then what are we waiting for?" "Let's go find him," said Cavil.

They both came back to the cabin. By then, the soul-mongers were gone. Near the cabin, Bosco was lying on the ground. Skylar saw him and shouted, "Dad, are you alright?" She went near and kept his head in her lap and asked, "What happened?" Bosco said, "When I returned, I saw the soul monger and had a dual with it." I killed it, but I got wounded while I was fighting, and he tried to capture my soul, but I killed it. I do not have much time left. Skylar, teach him what I taught you, as I will no longer be with you. Bosco took his last breath and passed away on Skylar's lap. Skylar cried a lot. Cavil said, "We must be cautious of these soul mongers, and let's go someplace safe, and then you can tell me all the things that he taught you." Skylar was still crying, and they both dug a grave for Bosco, buried him in the backyard, and left for the beginning of the new journey.

After the death of Bosco, both were on their own. Cavil and Skylar were both sitting in a coffee shop. A sound of a gunshot came, and Cavil came out to see what happened. Cavil and Skylar went toward the sound of a gunshot. Cavil went near the man who was shot. When he came near, he started to cry. Skylar asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Do you know this man"? Cavil replied, "He is my father's friend." Skylar asked, "What do you mean?" He said, "My father appointed an attorney for my custody." This is the attorney who was fighting for my custody. He has two little kids and a paralyzed wife. How could anyone do this? "What do you want me to do?" asked Skylar. Cavil said, "I am the time warper; I want to go back in time and redo this and save him." "Tell me how to do that." Skylar said, "You cannot do this." Cavil asked, "Why am I not a time warper?" Skylar said that is not the matter; you have not harnessed your powers, and to travel in timelines you need to train yourself. The powers are in your nerves, and time is connected to your brain. You have to train your brain; it has all the powers. He asked, "Tell me how to do that." She replied, "We need to find a quiet place to harness your powers." He said, "My father has a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city." "We can go there; it is safe, and no one goes there." "Ok, but we need to be careful because soul-mongers are on a hunt, and they are searching for you," said Skylar. He said, "Then what are we waiting for?" "Let's go there and harness my powers." They both went to the farmhouse.

At the farmhouse....

Cavil rang the doorbell. Pablo came and opened the door and said, "Hello! How are you, sir? Come inside, and I will get you something to drink. "By the way, ma'am, you are really beautiful." "You both look good together." "No, it is not like that; she is a good friend of mine, and yes, get us some water to drink; that will work," said Cavil. "Ok, sir, I will get you some water." Would you like to eat some sandwiches or toast? "I have prepared some," said Pablo. "No, just water," said Skylar. "Come sit down and tell me more about the powers," said Cavil. Pablo came with water and asked, "What kind of powers?" Skylar said, "Nothing; it's just about the movie we both saw last night." "Here's some water and chips for both of you." "Should I call your father now that you are here?" said Pablo. Cavil says, "No, don't call my father!" Pablo says, "Does your father know that you are here?" "I am not a kid." "Pablo, come here." "Take some money and go to your kids and meet your wife," said Cavil. "No, sir, I cannot leave you unattended," said Pablo. "We need some alone time," says Skylar. "Your friend is quite possessive; I like her." "I will go and take my leave; you both have fun," said Pablo. Pablo leaves, and now both Cavil and Skylar are alone at the farmhouse.

Skylar asked Cavil if there was a quiet room where we could do the procedure. Cavil says, "Yes, upstairs we have a room; it is all quiet there." Skylar says, "Ok, let's go there and grab some water." "You would be needing some water." Cavil does as she says. They both went upstairs and sat down. Skylar takes out a small pill and says, "Have this pill and concentrate on my voice, and you will feel a bit dizzy but you will get what you want." Cavil follows Skylar's instructions. While keeping his eyes shut, he started to concentrate on Skylar's voice. Skylar started to speak an unknown language, and Cavil went unconscious.

In Cavil's subconscious....

Cavil opened his eyes. At first, it was a dim light far away from him. He stood up and tried to go near the light. The light became brighter as he got closer. A man appeared in that light and said, "Welcome, son; you have reached the center of your brain." Turn back." Cavil looked back, and a million doors started to flow in front of him. He looked back and asked that old man, "What are these doors for?" The old man said, "Son, these are the doors of all the timelines that you can travel to and send people to." Cavil asked, "How do we form these doors?" The old man said, "You have to figure that out on your own." Cavil was about to question him, but the man disappeared, and Cavil was on his own. Cavil started to freak out, but a voice came and said, "Open any door and see for yourself." Cavil opened a door and saw that Skylar was sitting in the bedroom, Cavil's body was on the bed, and Pablo was there. He stepped into the timeline and tried to talk to Skylar. She was not able to hear; he touched her, and his hand went through her. He then approached his body and touched it, and then there was an explosion in the garden outside the house. He returned to the door, closed his eyes, and attempted to return to the present, but he couldn't. He thought he was stuck there, but all of a sudden he remembered what the old man said: "Focus on the timeline you have to go through and a door will open." He did that, and a door opened; he went in and came to consciousness in the present. Skylar said, "Did you meet him?" He said, "Yes, I met him, and I know what to do and how to do it." "Did you hear the explosion?" Skylar said, "We heard the explosion, and Pablo went to check." He said, "Let's go and check." They both went, and there was a soul monger in the front yard, and Pablo had a shotgun in his hand and tried to shoot the soul monger. The soul monger had already sucked Pablo's soul by the time Cavil and Skylar arrived. The soul monger attacked Skylar. Cavil opened a time door, and both Cavil and Skylar went inside the door.

Cavil and Skylar were in a different timeline. Skylar said, "So you have harnessed your powers." Cavil replied, "Yes, now all I have to do is fight Ash." Before we start the journey, I want you to tell me more about Matt and Ash. How did they separate? "But before I tell you anything, I have to tell you a few things," said Skylar. "What do you mean?" asked Cavil. She said, "neither Bosco is my father nor he is Matt's son. We all are here to serve a purpose." "What? Then who are you?" "I will tell you about Matt and Ash first, and then I will tell you about me," said Skylar. She starts telling Cavil the whole story.
