Temporal Pearls

Chapter 78: Strange Sighting I

Seth opened the door but then…

<You need to convert the Alien Stone to Azure Stone from time to time for me to make full use of it>

"Alright... Sapphire!" He said as he walked out and went to their door house.

Slap!

his snorty mother hug followed. He was dragged into the house bunker where he met with his sister and Adamina.

Seeing blood on him, she panicked but by the time she began to ask many questions Seth was fast asleep, snoring away his worries.

Activities in the whole Ni country stopped for three days before things stabilized. But it was not  Ni countries that faced the crises but all over the world. In fact, the impact of the meteoroids in Ni Country was less.

Electric Power returned 10 hours after the blackout and all machines became normal too. News about accidents all around the country was the one trending.

As for Seth, he slept for 2 days before he woke up. And by then a lot of things have changed. The house was reinforced and the underground bunker was under construction.

Also, his family was in deeper shit than before. Pressure from the opposition parties was pressing on.

Seth's activities return to normal as he continues to do what he was already planning—and that was learning how to make local tools and build a house with the handmade tools.

With the announcement that Asteroid Online will not be online for the next three weeks, he has a lot of time to learn many things before then.

Also, Manuella has said students will wait for further notice. Not only her. Academies, Colleges of Education, Polytechnics and Universities were all closed. Each of the schools will arrange online classes that can be accessed from him.

Sarah didn't press Seth to tell her what really happened but she was glad to see her baby back safe even if he wasn't sound.

However, when she saw the road which she expected he followed back to their city, she was terrified, more than 4000 people died there in car accidents. But rumours have it that it wasn't just a car accident but the authorities were denying that.

Seeing the news and the discussion heavy, Anna went to Seth and found him moulding a vase with his Pottery Wheel. It was an electrical one he obtained and all the tools needed to be a great Potter.

"Was it an accident!" She inquired softly.

He has been very quiet lately, due to all the deaths, Meteoroid and also his Car gaining sentient!

"No." That was all he said and she left him be.

In times of chaos most people panic, and few stay composed but all of them when everything calmed down they went into a state of PTSD.

Seth had perfume splendidly in a chaotic situation he had never found himself in but now, he was having a recurring nightmare. A trauma was trying to find its way into his head, or it had did. So he drowned himself in so many projects to occupy his mind.

A week later, he had regained his sense of self and he was called for discussion. How does his car move while all cars and electric appliances are down?

"Well, the car was special, its power was shut down at first but an hour later it was back on." He explained.

"Interesting, can we turn it into a generator and power the house if we have a blackout again!"

Most cars can do that nowadays, and if it was immune to pulse disruption then it was the perfect generator in these hard times.

"I think so!"

More questions were asked by his uncles and aunts before they left him be. When it was only Anna, his father, mother and Sam, he said.

"It wasn't an accident. It was a large truck, larger than any truck I ever saw. It was reinforced as if a moving house, ramming on cars as it passed on the asphalt. Many people died in their cars because they couldn't come out." He said with a sigh.

"It's alright!" Sarah hugged him, seeing him about to cry.

He explained how helicopters came and took some people away and some minor things.

"It's alright since you are fine. You know, you were lucky that you were at the side of the road. Were you taking a pee at that time?" Adam asked.

"Haha, I was trapped in the car too. The truck rammed into me too!" Seth laughed dryly.

"You are in the car!" Everyone was shocked. "Are you mistaken? There was no wound on your body, only blood. Wait whose blood was that…!" Sarah panicked as she bombard him with questions.

"Calm down, mom!"

Seeing that he had their attention he explained.

"Sapphire was crazy durable and its safety was insane. Even though, I believed I would die as I panicked just like everyone else. But after it was rammed and she was pushed to the side, the shock made me faint and I woke up later trapped in a soft, silky balloon. And when I tried, I was able to open the door."

He told them that he walked around opening people's doors and helping them out. And even about the baby, he saved. But he refrained from telling them about the meteoroid. For now.

They were shocked and also relieved.

Two days pass just like that, and Seth and Adamina have finished the first season of their comic. Ready to upload in ZenComnic. A local site that people just upload to make good bucks. However, Seth and Admaina were there for fame.

As for Pottery and related art that Seth was practising he was developing his talent fast just like Paintings.

"Seth... SETH!" Anna ran and came to him. And she dragged him to the parlour.

<And now we have another testimony from Mr Mama Girl, she was the very Owner of a Starry Restaurant in the Capital. Let's hear what she has to say about this Mysterious Entity. Another interesting fact was that she claimed to have talked to It… I mean Them… Him. I don't know which pronoun should I use]

It was an anchor in a BBN, having a podcast with different people that claimed to have seen something that night of the event!
