The Mystery Embraced

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Oct 02, 2024

Just his luck, it was the private number he was trying to figure out more information about. He then calls up Nik, in hopes that he can help him.

Nik didn’t answer the phone; Adelmo was a bit bummed about it, leaving a message, “Hey Nik, it's Adelmo, I have something important. I need you to check out for me if you don’t mind. There was this person that called up just now and the same one from the day before that would not tell me who they were. It was a private number. Can you get more information on who this person is? I will explain why it’s so important when you call me back. Please do this for me, thank you.”  Then Adelmo hangs up the phone.

Adelmo wanders on over to where Lana is working and starts to talk to her, “That lady called again, it turns out I have no way of figuring out who it is. This really sucks.”

“Well, try and see if Nik will help you. They have ways around the system.”

“Yeah I know, but Nik really likes to stick to protocol. I still called him hoping he would do it for me anyway.”

“Well, that is good, you never know this time might be different. What did the lady say this time?”

“Well, she was saying something about life as I knew it is about to change, whatever that is supposed to mean.”

“Interesting… Do you think she is a random person that has visions of people?”

“I guess anything is possible, but that doesn’t explain the crest on the things she sent. This is driving me crazy trying to figure this out. I am sure it will all come to the surface soon enough.”

Adelmo went into the backroom after finishing up talking with Lana, hoping he would spot something new that he hadn’t seen before. He saw the television was on back there.

"This was odd. It was normally off." He thought to himself. Nothing special was on, so he just sat down trying to figure out what was going on. He was concentrating on who this person was, then suddenly, in the corner of his eye, he noticed breaking news.

His attention was drawn toward the television to see what was so important. The reporter mentions that dozens of people have been disappearing throughout Germany. There was no trace of them, anywhere.

“This has all happened within the last couple of days. They can’t seem to figure out what is going on. Never had this many people disappeared all at once for no reason.” The reporter stated “There was no connection between any of the people who disappeared. That’s what made this even stranger than any other event before.”

Adelmo’s mouth dropped, “What is going on over there? Was this lady that called him at the shop generalizing what will happen throughout the world or is she specifying a location?”

He was so confused, but from what he could tell, it had started over in Germany. Hopefully it doesn’t happen anywhere else.

He went out to talk to Lana, “Hey Lana, did you see the news?”

“No, what’s going on?”

“Over in Germany there were numerous people who disappeared.”

 She was in shock. Standing there in silence, not knowing what to say.

She was concerned about what was going on though. Knowing deep within herself, she knew Adelmo would end up leaving again soon.

Adelmo grabbed the books, notes, and went to sit down to think about everything.

While thinking about what was going on, he zoned in on the crest of the book and rubbed his finger over it. While doing that, Adelmo fell into a trance.

He saw a guy, long black hair, facial hair that covered his face. A body that was built like a sturdy tree, chiseled abs, toned as if he was a weightlifter. In his left hand he held a 24-inch machete, in the right he held a semi-automatic pistol. Wondering who this person was.  There he saw his grandfather. He looked the same as I last saw him but so much younger. There stood his mother. With a thick wavy black head of hair pulled back in a pony-tail, beautiful onyx eyes, thick eyelashes. Slender shaped face. Athletic build, attire was form fitting with a pistol strapped to each leg. A machete encased attached to her back, and a shotgun in her hands getting ready to go out for battle. All 3 of them together.

Adelmo thought to himself, "Man, It has been a long time since I saw my mom. I sure miss her."

They looked as if they were preparing for some kind of war but had no idea what they were about to get into.

They headed out of the backside of a building to get to their location. He wasn't sure where this location was. Nothing looked familiar. All he knew was it looked like an older part of a city. You can see the weathered buildings. Cracks in the stones. Visually seeing the age.  What he didn’t understand was the guy at the beginning of the vision had disappeared. There was no trace of him.

Adelmo snapped out of the trance and felt confused. Wondering, “Who was that guy that was with my mom and grandfather?”

Adelmo found his true calling in life, immersing himself completely in his purpose. As he pursued his passion, the chaos and negativity of the world began to lose their grip on him, allowing a sense of peace and optimism to take root in his heart. It was as if he had found his own little oasis amidst the turmoil of life, a sanctuary where he could thrive and make a difference.

Just when it seemed like Adelmo had finally found his place in the world, a sudden and unexpected threat emerged, threatening to undo all the progress he had made. The new challenge was daunting, casting a shadow over the newfound tranquility and hope that had filled his heart. It was a stark reminder that life is unpredictable, and that even the most peaceful moments can be shattered in an instant.

In the face of this fresh adversity, Adelmo realized that he could not overcome it alone. He needed the support and collaboration of others to stand a chance against the looming threat. It was a call to action for everyone to come together, pooling their strengths, skills, and determination to tackle the challenges ahead. Only through unity and collective effort could they hope to conquer the new evils that had emerged, paving the way for a brighter and more peaceful future.
