Time Turner

He remembered that he founded a few hoes. He remembered the burning sensation in his c.h.e.s.t, his determination to protect his little sister. He doesn't remember how. But during the rush of adrenaline and the burning sensation in his c.h.e.s.t. He somehow killed two of the men. The other one tried to sneak up from his behind. But his sweet little sister. Found the courage to finished the man.

Zio arrived with a few men soon after. Alfizar was rushed to the hospital because he was hit with a few bullets. As for Aurina, she doesn't remember. She knew something happened, but her memory was blank from the moment Alfizar dragged her until they were at the hospital. It's for the best that she doesn't remember.

After that day, Zio quickly took them away from the city, knowing that they won't be safe with someone after their lives.

Since that time Alfizar could sense the energy inside him, faint, but there. Zio was aware of it, but he himself couldn't sense it. But what little information he knew was still useful for Alfizar.

This Aura was used to enhance someone's combat capability and physical strength, but not permanently. This Aura was not known worldwide. Most of the people who discover it by accident thought of it as their inner energy, which was not entirely wrong. While others thought it as black magic, the reason was that most of this people used their Aura to get money by performing a dangerous show. Such as burning their own body, and stabbed their body with a sharp sword. Of course, they were fine. But to reach this point, they need a lot of hard work. But not much was known about life force and Aura.

So far, those who could sense Aura, know that it could be used to made recovery faster. And in combat, they could up their strength and defense, not permanently. For strength as the example. Using Aura could boost someone's punch to be strong enough to crack a wall or more if they have a naturally powerful body. But they won't be able to crack the wall without Aura. Using Aura while training one's body will fasten the training's result. But using it too much to the point of unknowingly externalized it will result to shorten one's lifespan.

After he was done, Alfizar stood up while holding to his wheelchair just in case. Alfizar pushed himself up, then began to walk slowly, he managed to walk away from the bench for a few meters. But he was unfortunate that didn't see a rock on the ground, his wheelchair's wheel run over the rock and he lost his balance, Alfizar ended up falling face first to the unforgiving hard ground.

Thud!!

His fall was quite hard, his chin hit his wheelchair's wheel, and his left arm and head aching from hitting the hard ground.

"Ugh..." Alfizar g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain. He was NOT clumsy. Just a bit unlucky.

He decided to rest a little, he turned his body to lay on his back, not caring about dirtying his clothes. Today's weather was quite nice too, a rare good day to relax from the madness and brainstorm that had been happening in his head. His wheelchair beside him almost upside down. If anyone passed by him would think that he falls out of his wheelchair, although that it was not the case, it's not really far from the truth. He looked at the slightly cloudy sky, the wind was blowing softly, drying little sweat on his face when he works on his legs. This scene also felt familiar.

***

Someone's face popped out from the corner of his eye looked down on him. He couldn't see that face clearly, but he knows that face was smiling softly at him.

"They were looking for you. What are you doing here by yourself?" That person asked Alfizar. Then that person sat down beside him.

"Fresh air." Alfizar answered simply, he didn't turn his head to look at the person. They stayed in silence for a few minutes.

"Thank you. If not because of you-" That person broke the silence, but he was interrupted.

"Don't mention it." Alfizar stopped that person from talking any further.

"But, I'm sorry about that incident! If only I...!" That person was unwilling to stop.

"It's already in the past," Alfizar said softly, his eyes were closed. "Not your fault... You have done your best to prevent it." That person could saw the lone tears make its way down from Alfizar's eye. Alfizar put his right arm on his eyes. He didn't sob, he simply buried that sad face, and pain deep down in his heart. That person knows, Alfizar was blaming himself. "Those who had died will never return. If only I could go back in time."

The pocket watch in his pants pockets feels warm. Alfizar took it out to look at it. But nothing was wrong with it. He put it away, then stand up swaying slightly.

"Let's go back before they send out a search party or doing something crazy like calling The Police to look for me."

"Right." That person was silent for a few moments before she speaks again. "She was a wonderful girl."

"I know. She was one hell of a talented girl"
