-=The Path Of Enlightenment=-

[Soul Reaper]

-=Chapter 2=-




Kyle looked at the 4 spirits before him, the 3 newcomers..acted and looked more serious, their movements, not circling, but just standing firm, he could now see what type of spirit they were, he remembered the book in the library, and the information...these were Assassins, one of the most deadly types of Nomads, there had been reports of only 1 of them taking out 2 order wings by itself..Power


***[color=white]...Follow 'us'...name..'we' have sensed..obedience..the colors of, anticipation..done well, you have..follow 'us'..to enlighten...the path of darkness..***


And thats what Kyle did, he followed the Nomads to kappa, then to delta, he couldnt perfectly control his ship, the Sabres control systems were beaten up, his sensors barely picking anything up, his shield down, power generator damaged, and a few more alerts buzzed on the screens. The Nomads had stopped, only 10k away from Freeport 11..


***[color=white]..Name..has been anticipated, intruders..purged..matter-shell..grown back..must be..for the path of darkness..obliterates all***


He didn't get it completely, but he knew he had to have his ship repaired, he docked on Freeport 11. While waiting for the repairs to be completed, he wondered if the Nomads were still there...maybe they were gone, why should the spirits wait for him ? No, they were still there...he could sense them, feel them close by. He was getting dizzy. He took his cardi-inhaler out and breathed through it. Better... The repairs of his ship took half an hour, once done, he immediately took off, ventured out some distance, but couldnt see the blue spirits..he was disappointed, he cursed at the Zoner engineers for taking this long to repair his ship. Just as he was about to leave, he saw it, an unknown contact on his scanners, it got closer. It was the first spirit who he had followed.


***[color=white]..Name..grown back..come..follow 'us'..to knowledge...***

And Kyle did...


================


The Human's Shell was damaged, the young Nomad could feel the Outcast's fear, very little, but not fearing of ''them'', fear about the shell, The Nomad had seen human shells get destroyed, many times, it could not understand why the humans would kill their own kind. The young one felt much hatred in all the humans in the system, they hated each other, the names did..


The young one waited, circled around the Freeport, at a distance, the other parts of him, the higher Nomads, went away, securing the system, purging the intruders. They always were. The curious Outcast had come back, the Nomad sensed him getting closer, the human felt..sad..about ''us''. The Nomad got closer, stirring the Outcast to himself.


***[color=white]..Name..grown back..come..follow 'us'..to knowledge...***


They flew off, to the keepers, to the distant gate that would take them to the system, of the great ones.


================


They were getting closer to the Nomad home system, the one known as Iota, he had gotten close ot the jump hole once, but never daring to get closer, or jumping in to the system of the Spirits.

15 unknown contacts on his scanners. More of them..

They were right near the jump hole to Iota, they were moving around him, looking at him, his head felt dizzy again, the cockpit suddenly turned black, his head was spinning. He fainted.

Kyle slowly opened his eyes, his head was clear, not as dizzy as before. He looked around, dark..everywhere. Where am I ?. He saw a small light in front of him, the light should have been enough to see his surroundings, but he couldnt, as if the room he was in didnt have any walls, just as in space. He started to walk towards the light, each step bringing him close, but..it was hard to walk. As if the gravity of where he was, was too strong, he couldnt barely get up..


***[color=white]...The Path...of Darkness... ***

He quit, it was too hard to move..


***[color=white]...Darkness will...falter..with 'our'...presence... ***


The light flashed very brightly, blinding Kyle, he had never seen such a bright light, more than a star...The space he was in turned totally white, he couldnt see any floor, no horizon, just..White. 6 figures appeared around him, they looked like normal people at first, they were hooded, their cloak's a deep purple, covered with inscriptions, their eyes, glowing a slight purple/blue color.


***[color=white]..'Human'..'we'..will show you..your hunger..for knowledge... ***


The space Kyle was in..felt as if it was sliding..he was suddenly in a dark nebula, a light at a distance..It got closer and closer, until it was right in front of him, some sort of ''base'', covered entirely with a shield over it, it had the shapes of a pyramid..the ''space'' he was shifted again, he was in the middle of a city, a huge blue city, he couldnt describe it, Nomads..everywhere, flying all over, countless numbers of them..they were everywhere, he saw some on the ''ground'', they were humanoid like, although..blue..their eyes, more darker, though they were all different shapes, some of the same, some not, but most of them were humanoid. He saw them..change their shapes..shape shifting..into different types, but the one he was amazed was..a few of the Nomads, shifted into the ones he knew..into ''Spirits''. Kyle was amazed at the scene, but then, the ''space'' around him shifted again. Th city vanished into the distance..where he was now, he could barely understand..they were, blue lines, they looked like muscles cells..joined together, each one blue..they were connected to eachother, some of them to 10 or 20 other ''connections''...the connections were at random. All these connections filled the ''space'', with Kyle in the middle of the huge and seemingly endless connection. A Brain, yes, the web of connections looked like a human brain magnified..thousands of connections, the 6 hooded Nomads appeared once again around him...


***[color=white]...'WE'..are..as one..in your words..the sharing..We act as one..not..separate..darknames..like.. ***


Yes, Kyle felt this ''connection'', they were all in his mind, not just 1 nomad ''talking'' to him, but all of them...It was remarkable, astonishing..The power the Spirits had...


***[color=white]..'you'..now know..the resemblence..not to..darknames..'we'..are one.. ***
***[color=white]..knowledge..you have..with 'us'..concerns time..as it is..leave..travel...***


The space shifted again into darkness, a total black, the 6 Nomads around him, faded away.


================


They had ''united'' again, the Young One had taken the Outcast to the Great Ones, they would show him the path to enlightment. The Nomad sensed the feelings of the Outcast, lots of emotions it had sensed in him..amazed ?

The Yound One was also intrested in this Human, as he was to it. The Young Nomad's curiosity about the system got over it, it departed, to learn, too seek knowledge of the universe,..the young nomad disappeared into the void..


================


Kyle opened his eyes again, his head a bit dizzy, he found himself in his cockpit. The Sabre wavering towards the triple suns, slowly..He breathed through his cardi-inhaler, his head got lighter. None of the spirits were around, all of them disappeared, even the first one he had been trailing...Kyle touched his control screens, he plotted the course to Malta to see Professor Inahara, one of the lead scientists of discovering the ways of the Great Spirits. Kyle activated the Sabre's Cruise engines, and headed to Malta. He had to know more...
