Chapter 1: A bitter sweet unwanted gift

Sonny was setting on a log on the bank of the river. It was a small river somewhat larger than a creek. He was extremely tired he had walked for quite a distance at his age. He reflects back on his life. He thought about all he had done, and how he wished he could do more. He knew he had only a limited time lift on the earth, and this was quite depressing to him.

My how the years roll past he thought. He had served two terms as president of the republic that was formed after the big thaw. He had led his small somewhat unskilled army against an invasion from those that had survived outside the dome. As it turned out, Mr. Light-bearer wasn't the only one trying to preserve mankind. Representatives from the old government that had managed to live though the chaos. Establishing themselves in a man made cave, deep inside the mountain called Pikes Peak.

In western part of late great United States. Seems like they thought that once the world stabilized, and returned to a somewhat normal state that things would be as they were before! Boy how wrong could they have been. They thought they could pick up where they had left off, and their president thought all had to bow to his every wish.

After the war was over Sonny banished them to the north. After which a new republic was formed. He chuckled as he thought of Albert Ernestine's words that world war three would be fought with sticks and stones. Truth was that the gunpowder they had at the time was worthless. The war was fought with shields swards and arrows. Weapons’ stayed that way to that very day. They had guns but no one thought about preserving the knowledge of how to make gun powder. He guessed that it would be another hundred years or so before man would rediscover it. Kind of funny, that history tends to repeat it self.

He watched the small river as it flowed past him. He was tired, very tired. Truth was Sonny was dying. Sonny knew it and it angered him deeply. It had been years since he last saw Mr. Light-bearer. He wondered if he would see him again before he passed into the next world.

He takes out his jug and takes a long sip of water. He looks around, notices the thick silence of the woods behind him. Sonny stands up and pulls out his short sword and yells out Who is out there? Sonny looks around and sees’s nothing. He hears the wind and nothing more. He senses someone was there but he saw nothing. Show yourself! He screams out. Then suddenly He appeared as if materializing out of thin air itself. Sonny looked hard at him not realizing who it was at first, it wasn't until he spoke that Sonny realized who it was.

Well I be damn how are you old friend? Sonny asked realizing that he was talking to the one and only Mr. Light-bearer. Oh, I'm the same as always Sonny. Mr. light-bearer replied adding you don't look so well, Are you OK? Of course you aren’t, your time on earth is drawing to an end. So tell me Sonny how do you feel about it? Bitter I take it! I've been hearing your thoughts. How would you like to live longer? Say another lifetime or so? Maybe until you willed yourself to die? Would you like to be younger say about twenty-five or so? To be blessed with, Perfect health forever?

Tell me Sonny what can I do for you? Ask me anything! Anything at all and I will tell you what you need to know! It's the least I can do for a man of your fabric! Ask of me anything and I give it to you freely! Do you want to know who your father is? Oh you look surprised? Don't tell me you don't know who your real father is? Of course you don’t! Bet you have no idea who you are either do you? Would you like to know? Would you like eternal life? I
