Charlotte Swan, a 30-year-old, mother of two sons and wife to Robert Swan, who is working as

a mailman for 30 years on his service. Mrs. Swan is a child of abuse as she grew up in a
household where she had witnessed her mother being killed by her father. To escape this
horror, she flew away from Alabama to the streets of Manhattan where she was orphaned and
got a job after 27 years and met Robert, who’ll soon she’ll have two sons living in Brooklyn.
Charlotte is an investigator for 3 years in a row, working in an investigative prime group called
“Elite Investigative Operations/ EIO” that has links with the US Armed Forces and the Pentagon.
In a busy day, Mrs. Swan and her team composed of two men and one woman, Joe, Frank, and
Mina were tasked to solve the mysteries that surrounded a murder of the antique collector in
suburban areas of Virginia. They drove there to solve it, but was ambushed during their search
by unknown and masked black men. They had bullets in them and most of Swan’s team was
badly injured or wounded as they gradually ran out of bullets. Her final defence was this stone-
like object near the counter where she was lying. With just a touch of this object, memories
flashed before her eyes as if she was blinded by something. She dropped to the floor and
passed out, while cops arrived at the crime scene.
Swan was left in the hospital while her team was now fully recovered after a week of minor
operations. They told Swan that the men who was trying to ambush them were still unknown,
while unsuspected technology-manufactured chip that censored their identity was their first
assumptions to the case. Upon Swan’s release and recovery, she cannot still move on what
really happened in that night as she touched a stone-like object. So, she drove all alone to
Virginia to take the stone-like object. Upon arriving at the scene, police men were still
investigating the crime as they got an order from the Central Police department, deeming
incompetent investigators from EIO. Still, she persisted and was granted entrance to the antique
shop. She got a little tour with Alie, who was a local there and told some stories about the store.
She was afraid to open the story up to the police guy outside so she was more confident to
open it up to Charlotte. Suddenly, she spots something at the table where she saw a stone-like
object that was profoundly similar to what she touched a week ago. To avoid any unfortunate
contact with the object, she let Alie handle it and put it inside a ziplock bag. They went out of the
shop and thank Alie for touring her, so Swan took the ziplock bag and drove home.
She arrived home, and Robert surprised her with a date. Charlotte forgot that it was their first-
year anniversary as newly-wed couples. They have fun for the night and later dreamed about
what happened on the night she was held captive in the antique shop. After waking from that
nightmare in a sunny morning, she went to the office and asked Tom, who was his trustee
geologist to examine the object Swan discovered during the crime scene. Unfortunately, Tom
cannot examine the object because it gave him headaches instantly and cannot be identified
with any Earthy-material or other substances that can be found elsewhere in the Solar System.
The geologist suggested Swan to go to the museum for some research and library. A little bit of
exploring she did there and suddenly come across with this book that can be read publicly about
“The Extra-terrestrial” which was apparently co-authored by one of the richest men in the world
Zakti Rumman, who has profound gratitude for art and antiquity. In the book says this, “it is
where the great civilization that worshipped a small object” with a picture on the side and yet
cannot be identified clearly. So, she took some references in that book and went to the library
section.
Meanwhile, Rumman has its own business that is considered dirty by few but innovative by
many. He has profound contribution to technology and developed inventions that ‘benefits men’.
But, in reality he still had his prime vision of possessing the stone-like object that Swan found in
an antique shop. The men that were masked in black was actually secretly working for Rumman
but had no knowledge yet of Swan having the stone being in her possession at the moment.
In the library, she found references from ancient texts that dates back to 30 AD. From there,
similar phrases of ‘worship to a stone-like object’ are prominent, until she found a detailed and
never-to-be-seen inscription, which says:
“Ye, who sought after the seed of Creation shall first open her eyes” which was in Greek.
Interestingly enough, Swan argued why “her” instead of him. She assumed this was just a
mishap in translation from Greek to English, but in reality, it was truly “her”.
After some research at the library, she went home and studied again the nature of the stone-like
object as she gets curious. Suddenly, the stone opened revealing a little bit of light, as if a bulb
is stuck inside after she spilled her cup of water in the stone. Amazingly enough, she touched it
for the very first time without getting flashed or passing out.
The next morning, she filled this case to the firm, but suddenly got rejected due to its untimely
and irrelevant investigation procedures. But that didn’t stop her. Joe and Mina secretly followed
her and relayed her story for the first time. At first, they don’t believe it, but when they saw the
stone at Swan’s residence, they were amazed. They were planning to set an adventure to
investigate what was being said in Swan’s plan, but it was postponed because a ball is about to
happen, inviting the firm EIO in Rumman’s residence in Florida.
They went partying until Rumman meet Swan as she was enchanted by her. They went a lot of
chit-chats, until Swan opened her lock screen with the stone display, Zakti got hooked or
intrigue by the image so he asked about it but Swan immediately said, “it was just an heirloom
from my grandmother”. After Swan had left together with Joe and Mina who were undercovers
in the party, Rumman had another plan to secretly track the move of Swan in every way.
One morning, Swan filled a week of absence together with Joe and Mina as they journey
according to the ancient text. They travelled to the Middle East where it was supposedly
located. Along their journey, they have found a local named Arshish, who is actually a lost-
traveller and had been wandering in the deserts of Arabia. While finding texts to support Swan’s
claims, Arshish found the stone dirtied by the sand so she decided to wash it. In contact with
water, the crack suddenly grew more, Swan had to stopped it. Arshish began to bow down and
worship it like it was in the ancient text. Swan and the team asked why, but a group of unknown
men arrived trying to capture Swan but they do luckily escape it in the caves of an ancient
civilization. There, Arshish narrated that the stone-like object was dated before Christ was born.
Arshish didn’t have enough details because it is now buried or his memories cannot grasp the
entire narrative. So, Arshish offered his home to his family where they were welcoming and
interestingly warm and hospitable. There, they knew that the stone-like object is a seed from the
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil where Adam and Eve ate its fruit like so. The seeds from
the fruit fall into the ground and a millennium of debris covered the seed causing it to harden,
giving its stone-like appearance and texture. This seed is considered corrupt as this seed was
supposedly forbidden, so they shouldn’t water it down but destroy it in a place far North of the
Middle East. So, the four journeyed to the North of Iraq. Still, Swan’s repeating vision of flashing
of events before her eyes when touched on her first attempt is irresistible at this moment. She
couldn’t believe that the seed will only be destroyed, but she resisted once in the temple. She
had stopped everything and got into arguments with the team, but unfortunately Rumman’s men
founded them and get the seed that Rumman wanted. Swan is now being identified, though
they weren’t killed. Their mission failed as Rumman had now the formula to unveil the evil again
or to redo the acts of disobedience to God. Swan and the team had no other choice but to flew
back home but they got arrested for alleged trespassing in Iraq. They were eventually freed
according to an unknown man, who gave a small handbook to Swan. When she arrived at
home, she opened the handbook and revealed the same phrase that she read in the library and
saw a guide on how to destroy the seed in another way. She must find the other seed which
was the “Tree of Life” given that the seed that Rumman has was the other tree that bear the
fruits of Knowledge. Undoubtably, she wasn’t able to find one. Along her search comes soring
pain on her head as she began to experience supernatural events such as Adam and Eve
witnessing how they disobeyed God and eventually who was the true killer of her mothers, and
that was Zakti Rumman. Swan’s biological father arrived at home and took Swan at the nearest
hospital. Swan knew everything as they embraced each other.
There was an event of celebration at Rumman’s home where Swan’s family was invited without
the knowledge of Charlotte and she knew this would be dangerous but it was too late. He
unveiled the seed and with the formula on how to regrow the tree, he poured water which he
calls “reliving water”. They were a thousand people inside and he said to them, “This is the new
world! Adore its fruits and be like gods!” The tree grew large and fruits were handed to them and
ate it. Before Swan’s family’s turn, Charlottee arrived with his team and her father beside her.
“Stop it!”
When she shouted, those people who had eaten the fruit looked to her and transformed into a
horrific monster. Open fire happened while keeping Swan’s family safe and the team and
Swan’s father. When Zatik knew he was losing, he ate the fruit that was placed in the center,
which was the exact fruit that was bitten half already. Zatik transformed into a demon incarnate
while throwing people around and killing them. One thing that Charlotte’s father confessed to
her is that, a portion of the seed of the Tree of Life was the only source of food that Swan ate. It
was a gift from Arshish’s great grandparents when Swan’s mother visited there in Iraq. Upon
saying this, her eyes glow so bright that she transformed herself into a new being with golden
wings. She faced off the devil and revealed to him that the seed he planted was not the exact
Tree of Knowledge.
“That tree, is not the true Tree of Knowledge. It is in fact a seed that came from the Tree of Life”
Upon hearing this, Zatik became weak knowing that the Tree of Life was blessed and planted by
God himself.
“I am the first who sought the Creation, but I won’t be the last to destroy it.”
The story ends.
