The Dream: Realize Your Destiny

Knuckles walked up the stairs into a hallway. He approached his bedroom to see the door was closed. He attempted to open it but it was locked. "Julie-su?" he called. "You okay in there?"

"Go away!" Julie-su sobbed. "I don't want to talk to your right now!"

Knuckles let out a sigh and leaned on the wall across from the door. He didn't know what to do. The last he wanted to do was get angry. In fact getting angry wasn't on his list. Knuckles looked down at Jerry-su to see that he was smiling. That smile helped Knuckles think. He slowly walked back to the door and knocked on it. He could still hear Julie-su crying.

"I said go away!" she called out.

"Listen I know your scared," Knuckles began. "I'm scared to. Julie-su I love you and want you to continue loving me. I know I shouldn't have hid something this serious from you. Can you…" he stopped. Julie-su slowly opened the door. She didn't look at Knuckles. She just looked down. Knuckles stood there speechless. Julie-su slowly walked toward Knuckles and out her head on his chest and started crying again. Knuckles smiled and wrapped his free arm around her. "It's alright. I'll call my dad maybe he'll know something."

(Later, about 8:00)

"And you say it shot a beam at the boy's head?" Locke said over the phone. "I've never heard of such a thing."

"Strange isn't it?" Knuckles replied to his father. "You think Athair would know anything about it?"

"Maybe, I'll call you later son," Locke bid to his son and hang up.

"Well?" Julie-su said impatiently. "What did he say?"

"He said he'll ask my great-great grandfather."

Julie-su let out a sigh and walked over to her husband. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately. After pulling away from him Julie-su put her head against his chest.

"What's that for?" Knuckles asked catching his breath. " About an hour ago you were angry with me. Now… this."

"I'm sorry for the way I was acting," Julie-su. "I was frightened. And thank you for trying to help our son."

"Well what did you think I was supposed to do?"

Julie-su nuzzled his chest and shrugged her shoulders. She looked up and smiled. "I don't know I just. I don't know."

"Well for now let's get some sleep," Knuckles said with a yawn. "I'll put Jerry-su in his crib,"

Knuckles kissed his favorite woman good night and watched her go up stairs. He took his eyes off his wife looked at his son. Little Jerry-su laid on the couch looking around clueless. Jerry-su shook his head smiling and pick up his son. As he walked up the stairs, Knuckles thought about his dream again. Would his son really become that terrible man that attempted to kill him? He hoped not. Knuckles opened the door to his baby's room and turned on the lights. He admired the light blue room with the furniture his lovely wife picked out and approached the crib. Knuckles gently set Jerry-su inside. "Goodnight," Knuckles whispered leaning on the outside of the crib. And with that he left the room and turned of the lights. Minutes later, Jerry-su fell asleep.

"Jerry-su," called a woman's voice. Jerry-su twitched his arms and legs a little and remained asleep. "Jerry-su wake up." The little baby opened his eyes to see a beautiful bright pink wearing a white angel like robe. She had golden rings on her locks and wore a pair of white flipflops. Jerry-su rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

"Hello there young one, I am Aurora," the woman said. I have come here to tell you that you are the chosen one. Baby Jerry-su looked around his room to see that it was disappearing. Including his crib Aurora gently lifted Jerry-su into her arms. "Well aren't you cute. Anyway you have been chosen by the Master Emerald to bare the power of the Gemini Emerald."

"Yes it's true," came another voice. From behind Aurora came Tikal. "That Emerald you bare on your forehead has great and wonderful powers."

"But it's up to you to choose how you'll use that power," Aurora Continued. "It's up to you to choose the power of good or evil."

"We will be watching young one," Tikal spoke once more. "From now and forever. But for now we will bid you farewell. And remember that it's up to you. Choose wisely." Aurora gently laid baby Jerry-su into his crib which was reappearing. Tikal and Aurora both looked at him and then at each other and walked away into a bright light.
