  It was pitch black, like a void of darkness and nothingness. A speck of multicolored light flickered for a second and went away, this happened a couple of times until there was another total eerie silence and darkness for a few seconds, and suddenly, the largest explosion man has ever seen, travelling faster than the speed of light, multicolored star-dust shooting in every directions.

  Soon, all the strange looking stardust that seem to be light years away rapidly came back to the point they came from, and formed six bright glowing crystals, an orange one, a silver one, a purple one , a white one, a gold one and a cyan one.

  “These are the six crystals of the universe” Agnes narrated.

  “Time, the orange crystal” The orange crystal lit up.

  “Space, the silver one” The silver crystal lit up.

  “Soul, the white one” The white crystal lit up.

  “Reality, my power drive, the purple one” The purple one lit up.

  “Mind, the cyan one” The cyan crystal lit up.

  “And power, the gold crystal” The gold one lit up.

  The six crystals fused together and formed one giant ball of six glowing colors. With flares of light around it.

  “Then, the elements, Earth”

  Huge sandy rocks and boulders erupted from the fused crystals with a large thundering sound. They formed a huge ring round it, their clanking together adding to the cinematic noise, orbiting and spinning round the ball of crystals.

  “Water”

  Water burst out with rage out of the fused crystals. The splash sounding like a crashing tsunami. It also forming its own ring and orbiting the crystals, having huge waves and spinning in on itself.

  “ Fire”

  Fire did same thing, bursting out with rage with loud explosions and vortex and orbiting the fused crystals.

  “Air”

  Visible compressed air burst out, with an eerie howl and a thunderous gale. The turbulent whoosh pushed the sides of the fire and water and earth, taking bits of the former elements. Forming its own ring around the crystals and leaving traces of cloud-like air in it's wake.

  “Held together, by gravity”

  A huge glass-crystal substance covered everything like a shield and held them all close together. The entire thing was vibrating and oozing with energy, looking exceptionally divine and spiritual, flares of light and energy escaping.

  “The whole thing is called The Supreme. It's the very basics of the universe slash reality. Now, this is where scientists know the story from. The so called big bang”

  Stardust burst out with rapid extreme energy and force, creating stars, galaxies, universes. The multiverse.

  The hologram ended and faded away.

  Dave looked as though he had just heard about the death of his truelove, with his eyes wide open and dropped jaw. His heart raced, both in excitement and shock and he was sure Agnes and Moses could hear it. “Oh....my....goodness”

  “Now the creation of the earth and the life doesn't really matter, just a couple of soul crystal, earth fire and e.t.c” Agnes said. “Witches and Warlocks have magic Powers right?“

  Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

  “Yes?“ Dave answered.

  “What we are actually doing is accessing the crystals power, being able to bend some of the laws it has made” Agnes continued.

  “So... anyone can become a witch?“ Dave asked.

  “No”Agnes said. “The Supreme kind of has a mind of its own, it's not conscious. It only picked a few humans to have that ability when the first humans appeared. Having magic powers is kinda like a dominant gene”

  “So you've been a warlock all this while” Dave said to Moses.

  “Yes” Moses replied.

  “Why didn't you tell me?“ Dave asked. Having a slight frown.

  “Really?“ Moses said, wondering why it hasn't been obvious to Dave why he didn't tell anyone..

  “Okay, I understand why you didn't tell me... your parents are sorcerers?“

  “Both of them...yes” Moses answered.

  “Are you two like best friends?” Agnes asked.

  “Yes we are” Dave answered. “There's something you said about eerrm.... power drive”

  “Of course” Agnes answerd. “You see,we are harnessing the power of the crystals. But we're only using less than zero point infinity zero one percent of the power of each crystal” Dave nodded in understanding. “A sorcerers power drive is using about zero point infinity zero nine of one crystal”

  “So your power drive is reality” Agnes nodded. “But wind isn't a crystal?” He said, pointing at Moses.

  “But it's an element” Moses answered, walking to the other side of the room.

  “Wow” Dave exclaimed, trying to tie all this overwhelming information into a clean knot.

  “You must be shocked” Agnes said.

  “I am” Dave replied.

  “You are actually taking this very well” Agnes said. “When I told my boyfriend”

  “You have a boyfriend?“ Dave spouted.

  “I'm just kidding” Agnes said in a gentle smile as she climbed up to the top bed. “But people who don't know anything about magic are known not to take things like this very well, they freak out and their memories have to be erased”

  “Wow...I don't want my memories to be erased” Dave said, holding his head.

  “Don't worry, the eraser can choose how far back the memory is erased, or what information should be erased”

  “Suddenly I don't trust Moses anymore” Dave said. “He could have done something to me”

  “I would never hurt you with my powers” Moses said. “Although I've used my powers to do things for you a couple of times” Dave looked at him with a smile of thanks and curiosity, he wanted to ask what Moses has done for him, but Agnes spoke first.

  “So what's your relationship life?“ Agnes asked.

  “Oh... Dave's never had a girlfriend” Moses said almost mockingly.

  “Why?“

  “He claims you can't just have a crush on someone, you have to fall in love with them first” Moses said.

  “Well, if you fall in love first and you guys start dating, then you realize you aren't good for eachother and you break up, it will be really hard to get over the person” Agnes lectured.

  Dave had his face of realization. “You are right” He walked towards Agnes. “Agnes?“

  “Um..u....“ She stammered. “Yes,?“

  “Lets escape” He said suddenly, anticlimactic to the actual scene.

  “What?“ Agnes exclaimed, she was half expecting him to say something else.

  “Yes!!” Moses said Happily.

  “Just make the walls disappear and turn us invisible, since reality is your power drive, it's going to be easy” Dave said.

  “That's a great idea” Moses said. His face lit up, there was a way to leave this place of torment.

  “No!“ Agnes said authoritatively.

  “What... what do you mean no” Dave said.

  “I said, no...that's my final word” I'm not leaving.

  “Why?“ Moses asked, his hope diminishing.

  “I can't just escape...its like.....I...I don't....“She stammered. “ I like it here, okay?“

  Moses was still processing this words when suddenly, Dave's body had a quick flash of multicolored light. He immediately felt weak and fell to the ground.

  “Dave!!!“ Moses and Agnes exclaimed as they rushed towards him.

  “Are you okay?“ Moses asked has he held Dave in his arms.

  “I feel weak” Dave said.

  “What's wrong with him?“ Agnes asked.

  “I don't know” Moses answered. “His body is getting cold, really cold”

  “Moses placed his right hand on Dave's forehead and muttered words, his hand turned white as he kept muttering. “He has locked energy in him” He said with raised eyebrows.

  “What!?“ Agnes exclaimed.

  “Oh..no” Moses said in shock. “Could it be....“

  “What?“ Agnes asked.

  “When he touched the golden pendant at the museum, something happened, I think the pendant chose him” Moses said calmly, but still in shock.

  “Wait, you guys actually saw the pendant?. It's real?, I thought you were joking”

  “There's too much power in his body” He said in a sad manner. “And all the power is blocked”

  “How is that possible...I'm not a warlock” Dave said weakingly. “My mom isn't a witch”

  “We have to teach him to unlock his powers” Agnes said. “We can't do it here” She moved closer. “Can you perform a spell to keep him strong...it's seems you are stronger than me”

  Moses grabbed her hand. “We have to do it together, you don't know the spell so I need to channel your energy.“

  Moses placed his right hand on Dave and his left palm on Agnes right palm” He began to mutter words that almost sounded like a prayer. He continued and white shimmering light glowed out from the palms of his and Agnes's. His hand on Dave turned gold while his eyes turned white.

  Agnes and Dave watched in awe like students learning from a teacher. Dave began floating in the air as Moses removed his hands. Dave was magically turned upright until he was standing and his feet were touching the ground, he began feeling better.

  “Oh my goodness, I'm feeling better” Did you unlock my energy.

  “No, you have to do it yourself, I only cured the symptoms, not the illness, if you don't unlock it by tomorrow you might die” Moses said boldly.

  “I still don't get it” Dave said in extreme confusion. “I'm not magical, how could the pendant chose me”

  “Think about it” Moses said. “You never knew your dad, maybe your dad was a warlock and after giving birth to you, they realized they couldn't be together. Maybe your mom couldn't handle the fact that he was a warlock”

  Dave almost fainted, he had had enough shock for the day already, first it's the fact that sorcerers existed, then the creation of the world and his friend is a warlock, now he was a warlock. Of course he was happy, who wouldn't be, but his shock was ten times more.

  They had to sit Dave down so he wouldn't fall.

  “Probably why I could see the man at the museum when no one else could” Dave said.

  “Exactly” Moses said in surprise. Analysing deeply on Dave's last sentence. “He was cloaking himself” He smiled “MY FRIEND IS A WARLOCK” Moses almost shouted, a happy smile on his face. He shook Dave wildly and Dave almost fainted.

  “Woah!“ Agnes exclaimed. “Don't shake him like that he's still in shock” She took a deep breath. “And I changed my mind...we have to help Dave. We escape prison” Moses and Dave lit up. “Tonight”
