[b]Emeka[/b] The dark engulfed Emeka, his consciousness a glimmer floating in the nothingness. However there was something else with him in the dark, a impression of power and strength, a last touch from the goddess. He felt ripple of fear disturb the dark as he remembered her unfathomable power. Slowly the dull repetitive drumbeat of his heart began to fill the emptiness. With this he felt another alien feeling rising within him, a kind of regular pressure across the entirety of his self. It had its own ebbs and flows, as it travelled across his body. However Emeka did not panic, for with this feeling arose a new strength, hot and furious. The first thoughts past through his mind, [i]I will take this strength, only the weak fear power. I will savor it with joy.[/i] By know the dark had begun to fade as his sensations returned one by one, touch, sound, etc. It was then that he had a small surprise, he had a kind of a new awareness of his surroundings, of the heat around him. Without opening his eyes he understood that he was within some kind of machine, alien, unlike anything he knew about. Beyond that he found there were a few humans, glowing with body heat. He could easily tell that one of them was child . Curiosity taking its toll, Emeka finally opened his eyes, it was a strange container with glowing lines pulsing through the clear parts as well as the opaque. As he stood up the container gave way, allowing him to get of off it without much problem. Stretching his arms, as he let out a soft yawn, Emeka took in his surroundings. It was a stone structures, like those old colonial forts. Even across the walls he saw the same pattern of crisscrossing pulsing lines he had seen in the pods. He noticed sign of the goddess, seeing the gifts she had seen fit to give her, it only felt right to give a small bow of reverence. [i]One day I will have your strength as mine, but for now I pay respect to the stronger.[/i] The entire structure had two doors, one leading outside to what seemed to be some kind of grassland, the other deeper into the structure. The other people were what he would term tourists he had seen them passing many a time through the congo, but never had much of a chance to speak with them. However from what he had heard from many of his men, they were a weak and soft kind, though rather rich. Now, it seemed that they had same kind of powers he did, different yet sim. Asilar. He decided to follow them for a while, he was uncomfortable approaching them, after all who knew what other surprised the had in store. He followed them out into the open grassland, on the way he took note of the strange blue vegetation, with their strange leaves. It was then that realization that he was not really on earth struck him. He began to seriously ponder where exactly Emeka actually was. The group suddenly halted, Emeka thought it was because they had realized they were being followed. If so It was time that he spoke with them, conveyed the fact that he meant no har, his instinct told Emeka that he would have need for them in this new place. [@helltank] [@akje] [@Eklispe] “Hello, friends” he said, his speech tinged with a heavy central african accent. “ I was wondering -” and then he spotted the reason why they had stopped. It was large spider, atop a large web. What was surprising was how it all seemed to be floating midair, nothing attached to the web to give it any support whatsoever. Then the giant bug begins to plunge wildly over Emeka and his soon to be friends, casting its webs overhead almost like a fisherman casting its web. Emeka knew a trap when he saw it, “This tries to trap us!” he said, warning his friends. As he bent down to pick up a pebble on instinct, almost as if he knew what to do. As he goes to grab it his hands light up with a blazing white gold fire, charring the surrounding grass. The rock begins to go red in his hand, then slowly becomes softer and hotter as it is encased in his fiery hands. Then with a mighty movement of his hands, power surging through his body, Emeka chucks the now almost molten pebble at the spider. Send a speeding flash of red right at the things head...
