Chapter 3 - THE WINGED

Jake was quite for what felt like days and then finally he could see a planet in the distance. The plant has a spherical shape like earth but instead of the gases that makes up the ozone layer on earth, he saw golde, silver and bronze mist mixed together covering the planet. Lucifero increased his speed and soon they reached the planet. When they landed Lucifero dropped Jake and immediately started flying away. Jake was about to call out to him when he realised he was in front of a big golden door door. Then it opened and a single Man in purple robes with large green wings and brown hair gestured for him to follow. Jake was told not to follow strangers as a kid but who was he kidding, He wasn't even sure he would see earth again. Jake hurriedly followed the man in purple robe, The quicker he reached his destination the quicker he would get answers. They both reached a second door that was just slightly smaller than the front door. It was still gold in colour, then the man in purple robes then stopped and then he turned and faced the Jake

"The elders are waiting for you in the hall" He said

Then the doors opened and Jake went in. He saw three old men and two old women.

"Come forward young man" one of the old ladies said

Jake moved forward and stopped in the centre of the room.

"You have been chosen by the book of Mormon to be a winged" An elderly man said

"What is a winged" Jake asked

"A winged is a name given to one who bears wings of pasus and possess great power" the second old man said

"The winged possess fire, water,earth, lightening, transportation and other powers."

"The winged possessers of great powers and we Train them to harness that power for the betterment of the society."

"But am human, so why am I here?" Jake asked

"Well, you were human and your human parent found the book of Mormon and you inherited the power of our ansestor" one of the old ladies replied

"Ansestor?, one person?" Jake asked

"Yes, indeed our ansestor was quite adventurous" The third old man said

"He would often go to earth to test his powers. He was the strongest among us all."

"Who knew he left a book containing a part of his power."

"A part" Jake asked "I thought I inherited his full power".

"No he left only quarter of his power in the book. But don't be disheartened young lad. The winged have the ability to grow their powers so even if it is a pinch of the power remaining, you can grow it to the full powers potential". The first old lady said

Jake was astonished and bewildered at the same time. He then asked

"What am I to do now" Jake asked

"You will go to school to learn about your powers" The first old man said

"But am twenty-three, am done with school" Jake said

Then the man said some words that Jake couldn't understand and then a mirror appeared in front of Jake. Jake looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't believe his eyes he looked like he was seventeen again.

"This is the first time a human has been given the power of a winged, all of us are born winged but according to our ansestor's research, he found out that the power would eat six years of your life so you look younger" The second old man said

"No we must not waste time, the faith of our world's depend on you"

"What?!" Jake asked suprised by the new information he got

"We will tell you everything when the time is ready, but for now just know you are the heir to the throne since you inherited the King's powers" The first old man said

Jake was about to ask more questions but he then felt the ground underneath him disappear and he fell through. The last thing he thought before passing out from the pressure of falling is

'Why me'
