Real Story of Future

Be Warned Children of the Skyfire

By Gabriela TonePublished 9 months ago 4 min read

1. The Spark

Kael Vargas was fifteen the day the sky cracked open.

He remembered the heat before he remembered the light. It came like a second sun—sudden, white-hot, and humming with a frequency that made his bones ache. Across the Chilean Andes, lights danced in unnatural patterns, mimicking auroras that had no business in the southern hemisphere.

They called it the **Aurora Event**.

Some blamed a cosmic storm. Others whispered about rogue satellites or black ops experiments gone wrong. But Kael only remembered standing in the wheat fields near his home, hands trembling, as the wind swirled around him—and **did what he told it to**.

That was the beginning.

2. The Powers

Within weeks, thousands around the globe reported strange symptoms: hallucinations, elevated body temperatures, electromagnetic pulses from their skin. Some could lift metal with their minds. Others spoke languages they had never learned—languages no AI translation system could decode.

Kael could control heat. Fire. Plasma. Whatever it was, it burned white, hot, and clean—never harming him, but obliterating anything else in its path. At first, he feared it. Then he used it. And then, like so many others, he **was hunted for it**.

By the time he was seventeen, Kael had been classified as **Tier-3 Enhanced Individual**—“E.I.” for short—and was placed under “voluntary surveillance” by the World Council.

But he knew what it really was: **containment**.

3. The Hidden Name

They never called them Nephilim.

Not officially.

That name lived in the shadows—online forums, old texts, and whispered conversations between those who could do things they weren't supposed to. It wasn't just a myth. It was a **warning**. An origin. A name from the **Book of Genesis**, and echoed in the apocryphal **Book of Enoch**:

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men…”

Kael didn’t want to believe it. He wasn’t a monster. He wasn’t a fallen angel’s child. But the dreams—**God, the dreams**—said otherwise.

He dreamed of winged titans burning in the sky. Of voices speaking in unison. Of being weighed by eyes that contained galaxies.

He began to think the powers weren’t new.

They were ancient.

4. The Watchers

The woman who changed everything called herself **Nara**. She found Kael in the underground city of Caldera Nova, where Enhanced were forced to live out of sight.

She had eyes like mercury and a voice like wind through glass.

“You’re dreaming of them,” she said simply.

Kael didn’t ask how she knew.

“I see futures,” she said. “Fragments of time. Possible threads. In most of them, you die. In a few... you remember who you are.”

“Who am I?” he asked.

She studied him. “You are Nephilim. Born of blood that once burned in the stars.”

Kael laughed, but it sounded hollow in his throat. “That’s just a myth.”

“So is lightning—until it strikes.”

5. Bloodlines

They weren’t all the same.

Some like Nara could see time like a map. Others could move metal, rewrite DNA, shatter stone with a hum. But they all shared something scientists couldn’t quite trace: **anomalous DNA**—a strand unlike any found in Homo sapiens or any known species on Earth.

Some theorized it was alien. Others believed it was divine.

But those who wore the name **Nephilim** proudly knew the truth: it was **both**.

They were descendants of beings who came before the flood, before cities, before language itself. The "sons of God"—whether angels, aliens, or something in-between—had mingled with early humans.

Their blood had faded through generations. Until now.

Something in the Aurora Event had **reactivated it**.

6. The Uprising

Kael became a symbol.

Not because he wanted to. But because he was the first to fight back publicly.

When World Council forces tried to remove an entire district of EIs from Caldera Nova, Kael burned a crater through the sky to stop them. It made headlines across the planet. To the unempowered, he was a terrorist.

To the Nephilim, he was a **messiah**.

A thousand others revealed themselves the next day.

That was the beginning of the **Skyfire Rebellion**.

7. Revelation

The truth finally came when they captured the artifact buried beneath what used to be Jerusalem. Nara found it—a tablet not made of stone or metal, but something older. Something **alive**.

It didn’t speak in words. It sang. When Kael touched it, visions filled his mind—not memories, but **ancestral echoes**.

He saw cities of light hovering in the sky. Beings not made of flesh, but of will and resonance. He saw their fall. Their union with humans. The birth of giants. The chaos.

And then: the flood.

It wasn’t water that destroyed the world—it was **light**. A solar storm unlike anything in human memory, meant to erase their kind.

They had survived anyway.

And now… they had returned.

8. The New Dawn

The war didn’t last long.

When Kael and the others learned to merge their abilities—to become what the ancients had been—they were unstoppable. Not cruel. Not violent.

Just inevitable.

The old governments fell quietly. A new coalition rose—not ruled by Nephilim, but **led** by them, in balance with the unempowered. Science, myth, and spirit united in a way that hadn’t existed since the first spark of consciousness.

Some feared them.

Some worshipped them.

Kael only hoped they would do better than those who came before.

He stood at the edge of what was once the Pacific Rim—now a glowing arc of cities powered by clean energy and wrapped in atmospheric fields. Children played in the air, learning to float before they could walk. The sky sang with colors not yet named.

Beside him, Nara smiled.

“They feared the Nephilim would bring the end of the world,” she said.

“Maybe we did,” Kael answered. “But this one’s better.”

I’ve always had a strong interest in psychology. I’m fascinated by how the mind works, why we feel the way we do, and how our past shapes us. I enjoy reading about human behavior, emotional health, and personal growth.
