The void of darkness reached out like a shadow and the mixture of light colors gave sympathy to the stars aligned with visions. The darkness continued to reach out and the light of a water barrier raised its hand and blocked it. The lights from the water barrier continuously to void out the darkness as it came near. A ray of light emitted from the barrier’s hand and the from the jar poured water onto the darkness and it went away. The darkness lingered and the moons brightened the skies with endless stars. The colors of the planets formed around the water barrier and it shined.
A young teenager with straight black hair, tanned light skin, and soft brown eyes woke up with a start. She held her chest remembering the dream she had. She looked around and sighed seeing her siblings asleep. The young teenager moved out of the bed, walked to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator, grabbing some juice and slowly drinking it from the carton. She glanced around the small house with modern appliances and furniture. She walked over to the couch and laid down looking up at the ceiling. She had been plagued with visions of the water barrier and dreams of a new age. She was unsure of what to make of it. Her head turned to see another girl with short black hair to her neck and light honey eyes. The girl rubbed her eyes and looked at the other one sitting on the couch.
“Sophia, what are you doing awake?” the girl sauntered over to the couch.
Sophia looked up at the ceiling not looking up at the other girl. “Shera, I had a terrible dream.”
“A terrible dream about what?” Shera said.
“There was this water barrier and it snuffed out the darkness. I keep having these visions of the past, present and future. I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid.” Sophia said casually.
Shera hugged Sophia and hit her head somewhat, “maybe you should go see a psychic or something. You sound a bit nutty.”
Sophia shoved her off and stood up to go to bed. She was convinced that something was wrong with her. As she rested her head against the pillow, Sophia began to ponder what the hidden meaning to her dream was. She wasn’t sure what it means but knew it was getting worse.

Many school children walked down the streets and laughed with one another. Other children skipped, tagging each other and chatting. Some teenagers talked on their phones and others texted. Crossing guards hauled traffic as kids moved across the crosswalk. Sophia stood at the crosswalk and looked at everyone holding her backpack. She studied the street with the passing cars moving by so quickly. She stepped onto the street and the street wobbled. She tried to return but was stilled as she saw a child with a water barrier in his hand. He smiled to her and poured water onto the street. The street evaporated and she fell in. Sophia screamed as the darkness surrounded her.
Her eyes slowly opened up to see an endless realm of darkness and shooting stars. New creations above and below astounded her. Distant sounds rotated in space as one unity. She glanced around and gradually got up to see constellations moving back and forth. Sophia turned and checked her pulse.
“Where am I?” Sophia half whispered.
“You are in Aquarius…” a small voice echoed.
She turned around and gasped seeing the child in front of her now a teenager with light blue hair and a wearing a white toga to the floor, holding the water barrier. “I’m Aquarian or Aquarius. I am the Guardian of the Aquarian Age.”
“What do you want from me? Am I dreaming?” Sophia asked unsure of her voice.
“I called you here because I have a mission for you. You are not dreaming.” Aquarian expressed to her.
“What kind of mission do you want me to do?” She asked afraid.
“The ruling guardian before me, let certain things happen and this galaxy is now paying for it. I have been set to ensure the safety of this world and the galaxy around me. If humanity is to survive you must understand that there is a prophesy of the Aquarius Children coming.”
He waved his hand over the darkness void revealing the stars. “There will be a time when children will help correct the world as it should be. The gifted will rule and the others will fall. I have called to you because you have the gift of sight. I want to ensure the evolution of humanity.”
“Sophia, I am an eternal being, I live in galaxy and seen what has happened but I need earth to rebuild itself or humanity is doomed.” He said sadly.
“What do you mean doomed?” She asked.
“Just like what I said. Humanity will be destroyed if it doesn’t correct itself. The previous guardian of the Pisces Age has given many freedoms to the ones who gave him everything for power. They were allowed to do as they pleased and it destroyed the timeline and shifted the balance.” Aquarian further stated.
“Greed and power are now in the hearts of man. I want to correct that by giving people and this galaxy hope once more. Earth isn’t the only planet in my domain. I want to ensure that this galaxy is protected. I want you to be my Aquarian Watcher.” He continued.
“The time has come for man to know of the prophesy of Aquarius. I want you to give this vision that there will be a time when the Aquarian Age will come into full effect. I have to rectify the injustice Pisces has done and bring peace and balance to the current age.” Aquarian said with patience.
“…why me?” Sophia stated.
“Because you are the one who listened. You are a child of the new age. Only those can hear me will be able to heed the call,” he explained to her.
“If you’re the guardian, then who is the supreme one?” she questioned him.
“That being is not to be disclosed as the universe is much more than an open gateway filled with riddles, but I can only give you what I know,” he chuckled.
“Okay… I am still afraid.” She resonated to him.
“Never be afraid as you are the Aquarian Watcher,” he said cheerfully.
“What am I supposed the do?” Sophia asked feeling lost.
“Speak the prophesy of my words,” he enlightened to her once more.
“What is that?” she interrogated him.
“Let me show you.” Aquarian said humbly.
A blinding white beam settled around them. The air tensed and a juggernaut of images clashed around them. Sophia glanced around herself and saw the world change above and below her. Her breath hitched in her throat as she looked around herself. A waring white blazing light overtook her and Aquarian smiled at her. The light faded away and Sophia peeked around her and saw the earth below her millions of miles away. She began to float upward and further up as the world descended. The stars whirled around her and skies of endless midnight black distorted around her. She held her breath as the warmth of the stars began to fade. Sophia moved her hands and saw a translucent line of colors. She held her breath and closed her eyes sensing the endless of creation around her. The warmth came again and she opened her eyes.
Sophia gazed around her and saw a tumbling world with endless columns falling into a void of space. The darkness surrounded the plains of silent stars trying to grow. She looked down to see a glass floor and stairs rising from the center. She strolled upward taking each step with caution. She was worried for what would happen to her. Sophia gasped as she saw the star systems in the distance glowing brightly. After some time, Sophia stopped at the last stair and gazed at the waters flowing outward. Aquarian stood in the center pouring water from his bearer. He smiled vividly as he sensed her presence. The waters moved out from the lines imprinted into the floor. Sophia walked over to him and kneeled down.
“Where are we?” she probed.
“We are in my realm.” he stated.
“Why are you showing me this?” she asked hesitantly.
“I want to show you much more beyond the galaxy. I needed to show you who I am and what I do.” Aquarian said.
“Why did you choose me?” Sophia exclaimed.
Sophia glanced around herself watching the stars blaze to life then falter after a few seconds.
“I chose you because of your gift, understanding and destiny. You will be the one in the future that will unite other gifted children to stand up to save your world. All will be revealed in time, but the urgency is to act now to protect, Earth.” Aquarian said softly looking at the young woman before him.
Aquarian had brought her to his domain in hopes of expressing the firmness of what he was about to tell her. The lights altered in the space and a regional being of light took shape. An outline figure emerged and a hazy sea-green fire of light formed closely behind. A spirit emerged around them in long green robes. Sophia stood back slightly afraid and the spirit opened its eyes to reveal green.
She smiled at Sophia and bowed her head at Aquarian. “I am Gaia, and I am the spirit of your world. Aquarian and I have come to conclusion about mankind.”
Sophia refocused her eyes and glanced between the two. She was frightened but felt the warmth of earth circulating within the spirit. Her long speckled red, brown and white hair shimmered amongst the darkness. Sparkles of light emitted around her.
“What is that?” Sophia asked softly.
“We need you to do something in order to protect, save and help the planet or humanity won’t survive. In many years, it will die and I will revert the planet to a simple existence and start all over again.” Gaia said gently.
“How is that possible?” Sophia asked with terror.
“Anything is possible, Sophia. I have seen you grow and I believe in you. It is up to you to unite and share the knowledge of what is to come.” Gaia smiled once more in assurance studying the young girl.
“Sophia, it is important that you come to terms with this.” Aquarian said with earnestness in his voice.
Gaia shook her head sensing the plight of her young child. She stepped forward and hugged Sophia with a motherly hug. Gaia knew that any mother wanted to protect their child from the complete truth, but that very thing was what was the downfall of the entirety of the planet. Things had become too far gone and Gaia needed help. She needed to save her creatures before she had the ability to destroy them for what they were doing to her.
“There will be many of you in the future that will save this world. To understand truly, you all have been born around a certain time when it is favorable. Remember there is a time limit to protect and save this world from destruction. I can only wait for so long.” She said whispering into Sophia’s ear.
Sophia untangled herself from Gaia with confusion. “Why me? I am just a nobody.”
“No one is truly a nobody. We all have gifts that can help another person. I believe that you can help save people.” Aquarian said tenderly looking between the tangible spirit and the mortal who would shape the world with their truth.
“What’s so special about me? I haven’t done anything that will do or spark anything.” Sophia said dumbfounded.
“You will change the world. There are special children born who will take on the roles that will help. The power is not to one but to many.” Gaia said with confidence.
“There will be obstacles and people wanting to destroy you and the people you bring together, but remember that there will be a time you will meet us again.” Aquarian said moderately then stood up and walked to Sophia.
He continued. “I am asking for the help…” he glanced to Gaia and knew to correct his statement. “We ask because we need it. In order for humanity to survive, this is addressed for your world alone.”
“I suppose your right, but what do you really want me to do?” Sophia asked tentatively.
“We want you to share the knowledge. We want you to bring others into the light about what is going on. We are in Aquarian Age.” Gaia said with endurance.
“How did we get like this?” Sophia asked curiously.
“It is a long story, but many people in the Pisces Age used the power to change so many things that it distorted the balance and it is up to Aquarian to change that.” Gaia said cascading her eyes down to the floor in shame.
Her own creatures, humans, helped brought this and now Aquarian would be involved to help save her.
“I am the new guardian of the age and I have been instructed by a higher power than myself not to repeat the mistakes of the past.” Aquarian said sternly. “I am instructed by one supremely higher than me to govern this galaxy.”
“I see,” Sophia said pondering over the new information.
“Take what we said to heart, Sophia, for you are the Aquarian Watcher. You will be the one that will rise up above everyone and show the world.” Aquarian said mildly.
“I’m scared for what’s to come.” Sophia glanced between both beings.
“Don’t be scared little one, the future is in the hearts of the youth. You are the future that will bring down the corruption of the Pisces Age.” Gaia said sweetly.
“There will be a time and place for everything. Just remember it is in time frame of how the world appears.” Aquarian said before slowly fading away. “I will reach out to you once more.”
Gaia began to fade away and smiled delicately at Sophia. She waved to her beautiful creature and closed her eyes. Lights descended around Sophia and she opened her eyes looking back at the students and some parents walking their children to the school. She pushed up her backpack realizing the shared truth was that she was now the Aquarian Watcher and chosen to be the voice now. Sophia exhaled loudly realizing her destiny had changed.

The stars shifted in their stance. The darkness of the void caught in the heavens as a group of people watched the vibrations shift. A woman with dark violet hair and black eyes snarled as she peeked. A man with black tie and fire eyes watched her. He laughed and walked over to her.
“Tell me Ara, do you think that you can keep moving onto the new guardian?” The man said.
“I just saw the stars shift. The guardian has chosen who he wants to have as a watcher.” Ara said.
“How do you know?” The man said.
“Because Hans, the Pisces guardian told me before he retired. We need to find out who this watcher is. They will be the key to Aquarian Age. We need to take back what we can get. If we don’t find out what he or she knows, then how can we conquer this age?” She said briefly.
“We will be able. All the plans we have, shall be made. We are the Celic Group. We have a stake in this new age too. The Light Group Corporation is the major vehicle we all answer to.” Hans said.
“We will reach out and snatch the Aquarian Watcher.” Ara said.
“How do we find her or him?” Hans asked.
“We will track the child, baby, teenager or adult that has been touched by Aquarian. That will help us in our search. We will have seekers out in every small and large city or town area to look for them. We will take back what is ours. Aquarian will suffer. We will live in the Pisces Age forever.” Ara said happily.

Day by day, Sophia went to school and was haunted by what Gaia and Aquarian had told her. She had increasing visions of children of a new evolution protecting her world. More children would be born in this age to fight what was going on. Sophia knew that she was receiving the visions, but didn’t know how to address them. She had to give the gift of knowledge to others. She dreamt of young children facing a fight against strange creatures with slit eyes. She didn’t understand but those creatures controlled the world.
The sun’s rays beamed down on Sophia as she watched Shera play with other school children. Sophia wanted to make a place for her sister and family to live in. The decision to become the watcher was now on her. Sophia had the visions for the future. She was chosen and had to lead life as it would be but she was afraid.
Sophia sat in class and thought about what Aquarian said. She peeked at the other students around her and could feel their pull of energies around her. She sighed heavily. The bell rang and she threw her backpack over her shoulder. Sophia darted outside and looked up to the sky to see Aquarian watch her. She sighed and turned around to see strange looking men and women standing at different spots looking at the children. Sophia frowned and ambled away. Some people began to look to Sophia’s direction. She screeched and ran. Some others began to follow her. Sophia stopped in an alleyway and looked around her. She looked for an exit and narrowly spotted on in the corner. She glanced around once more and rushed through. Other members came into the alleyway and looked around them to see nothing there. They staggered around for a few minutes then left. Sophia squinted her eyes realizing that these people were now after her. Sophia crawled out from her hiding place and looked into the alleyway to see no one there. She looked down at her hands and feared this would be the beginning of what was to come.

A black car pulled up to the driveway and outstepped Ara wearing shades. She looked up to the sun and frowned wishing it would hide away from her. Ara pulled her jacket closer to herself and spotted a child playing jump rope. The child grinned at Ara weirdly. Ara strode over to the child and kneeled down to her.
“You are a funny lady.” The child said.
“How is that so?” Ara asked.
“You won’t find it.” The child said.
“What are you doing out here?” Ara requested.
The child glanced up with her green eyes and fluffy brown hair smiling. “I want to.”
“Want to what?” Ara asked.
“Be here and see the day.” The child said softly.
“Why is it important to you?” Ara inquired the child.
“Because we are in the Aquarian Age and people like you wish to end it, but the Watcher knows more than you.” The child alleged.
Ara opened her mouth and was about to say something when the child giggled and began to run away. “One day you will know me as Elu.”
She looked in the child’s direction, but the sun’s rays shined too brightly over her eyes. Ara covered her face and turned to see where the child had gone and couldn’t find her after her eyes searched the area. Ara got back into the car and tried to place what happened. She was worried now that something else was happening.
