chapter 10- The untold Purpose

" Benjamin Potter". The watery words woke Ben up. It was still nighttime and the others were dead asleep. The words spoke up again." Benjamin Potter".

" Who is it?" Ben said in a whisper.

A woman had formed herself out of the water they floated on. Her eyes made of green bioluminescent algae and her hair a bright blue.

" Queen Lammè as guided you into confusion and frustration. Even though you tell your friends waiting is necessary, you still scared of the outcome of the days ahead. My name is Queen Soa, Daughter of water and I am here to tell you of the truth. The murky pond you once starred into will be cleansed by my words. You are the product of the clashing of two powers. One of pure power and goodness and the other everything evil and despicable in the universe. Your father is the Demon Dragon, ruler of the underworld, the embodiment of evil, hate and deception".

Ben cut her off." No. Dr. Gemm is my father. He raised me in the Mal-X desert".

" These are lies told to you by your King and your supposed father. The fight that started thousands of years ago sparked a clashing of two universal powers that, inevitably, created you as a result".

" Dr. Gemm isn't my real father? And I'm not a real human?" Benjamin said holding back tears of confusion.

" So they don't give me any power?"

" Only to the ordinary soul. Your locked power makes those Claws like a single atom in the ocean. You have them so he doesn't get them".

The watery queen drained back into the ocean, leaving Ben alone with his thoughts.

The same confusion and frustration that had consumed him previously, set upon him again.

How could I not be a human? Why did they hide this secret from me for so long?

Slowly his frustration and confusion turned into violent anger. He needed to confront Polo and The doctor.

Although everything was clear to him now, he didn't believe. He couldn't believe.

For three hours Ben sat in his anger as the waves pushed him to their destination. The sun rose as Ben repeatedly clenched his fist. The Island was right in front of them. His stomach turned as the freezing breeze chilled his skin. It didn't bother him because of his anger. It warmed him and encouraged him.

Kenshi's loud yawn startled him. " Morning kid".

Ben didn't answer.

" Hey. Ben. Why are you up so early?"

" The Queen visited me last night. She told me who I really am". Ben didn't turn to face Kenshi. He focused his vision of...
