After driving off campus and pulling up to a stop light I decide to look over to Claire who is looking at her phone texting someone, my first thought was a possible boyfriend, but then upon thinking about how I met her I doubted that any regular guy could handle a girl that read their mind and possibly make it hurt at the same time. “I heard that Samuel.” She looks at me and gives me a punch in the shoulder. “Since we only have a short time limit on lunch lets head to the restaurant that’s close to here. The others should be there soon”. Upon hearing others I thought, so there’s more than just her that’ll be doing the talking. The restaurant she talking about is ole jack’s diner.  After pulling into a spot in the parking lot I hop out and get the door for her on her side. “Madame” I jokingly say with a gentlemen sound like I’m escorting her she grabs my hand hops down from the truck and replies in a similar manner “why thank you sir, shall we go in then?”after laughing at our similar jokes we walk in. Now the name restaurant at first would make you think that the place is just an old diner that’s been around for a long time and only sells diner food. That’s not how this place works, ole jacks at first was just a regular diner, but as more people from different cultures came in, the place got a more up to date menu to match the culinary liking's of all their customers. This place can make just about any dish.

    We spot the greeting host and he asked us was it just us? “Oh no we are here with a party that came in not too long ago under the name john.” “Ah yes that group arrived a little bit before you did right this way.” We follow the host to the table where this john person was and he was accompanied by two others, a male who seemed like a well esteemed doctor, and a female who looked like she was in the police academy program at the school. John the man sitting in the middle looked liked a teacher from one the martial art dojos around here. John stands up and looks at me and then at Claire. “Is the one that you have trying to contact the past couple of days Claire?” “Yes I finally got to him just as class started and they were already trying to take him out.” The doctor after taking a sip of his tea interjects with, “this man hardly seems like the key to putting things back in order.” The female chimes in as well, “hmm I’m doubting too, I think Claire just saw him for his looks and long hair.” She then chuckles.  “Long hair and looks that you have looking at since I walked in with her.” I responded to defend Claire. “Let it go Sam, lea always like to criticize when I have my visions.” lea ignores Claire’s comment.“regardless.” Said john “I want to see for myself if he truly is the key,Claire create the time pocket.” I look at Claire “time pocket? What’s he talking about?”   

   She chants some words I couldn't make out and next thing I knew time stopped…. I couldn't believe it at first, but then I looked at my watch and the little hand was on 12 and the minute hand wasn't moving. Then she chants some more words and instead of being in ole jacks were out in an open field. After finishing “this is a time pocket.It’s a self made pocketed dimension made to train and hone skills. The effects of the dimension are real so anything that happens will follow back to the primary dimension so u might want to be careful and not let john beat you up too bad.” Thanks for the vote of confidence anything else I should know before I start?” I look at her with a slightly worried look. “This places sense of physics and reality only respond to three things, mental strength, spiritual strength, and the last one, well you have to figure that one out yourself. I nod and wonder what she meant by the last one I would have to figure out on my own and then I take off my jacket and look at john. “So what are testing me on first?” “Test?” john laughs “this is not a test Samuel.” He body begins to glow a menacing red aura and a dual bladed Bo staff appears in his hands and the retina of his eyes go from white to red with his pupils turning black. “This is a fight Sammy boy.” He taunts in a demonic voice.  At first I’m shocked by what I’m seeing but then can’t believe it. I make the words out “you’re a demon...” john looks disappointed and sighs “looks like he doesn't know who he is this one's going to be over quick.”  “Robert!” john calls the doc be sure to double check him after this. John rushes towards me faster than my brain could think at the moment but my body react enough to dodge. “Pretty good Sammy boy, but physical reaction isn’t enough” he uses the Bo staff to cut the distant between us and stabs me in my right shoulder.

   The intensity of the pain at first was staggering and then I felt foot hit me in my stomach and slide about a foot from him. “Come on kid you can do better than that cant ya?”I think about what Claire said and about mental and spiritual strength and I get back on my feet. His spear strike had dislocated my shoulder so I focus and felt energy swelling in my body and I felt my should pop back in place. The wound didn’t close but I could deal with that later, I needed a weapon to defend myself. I saw he made his materialize out of thin air so it must be made from his own energy. With that in mind I make a simple katana appear and go into an offensive stance. I begin to focus energy into feet and rush towards john I felt faster  and began circling around dashing from one point to another and trying to make strikes at him I had him on the defensive but then  he caught me in one of my dashes. “Very nice Sam, your understanding of your basic mental and spiritual energies are great even for a beginner, and being able to manifest a weapon and increase your physical body is no small feat, however.” He kicks me even harder than before and I felt a football being field goal kicked past the net out of the stadium and I crashed into the ground. “You still don’t know the last thing do you”.

   At this point physical body’s crying in pain, brains overloaded from feeling all the pain, and my spiritual strength is running low from trying to cushion that impact. I couldn’t feel the katana I made manifest and I look at my hand to see it vanished. At this point I’m thinking I’m done for, I’m going to die, and then the fear of not wanting die crept up in my head. Over and over I can keep hearing myself saying I don’twant to die. “Well looks like this fight’s over” john had said as he begins to walk towards me.  I try to get up but I can’t move, come on body move it, but it won’t respond. I scream to myself “I need more power, enough to survive, enough to never fear dying again!” and as I’m screaming in my mind I see a temple and it opens and power floods into me something ancient and yet familiar and on the outside my body glow a white light. John stops, Claire and lea look in shock, and Robert pushes his glasses up. My wounds are healed, my body feels stronger and I feel taller, and black wings grew on my back.  I let out aloud yell from the over whelming power and the scream echoes the field. Then unable to maintain control the transformation stopped I went back to normal and fell over unconscious. Before slipping fully under I heard john say “ya figured it out kid, you’re a nephilim.”
