After six hours, I arrived.

We were all worried. Arjun hadn’t called us today.

I then realized the pandemic had begun fifteen minutes ago. The portal had created a random rainbow house on some rich guy’s balcony in Moscow. I wondered what had happened. At that moment, someone called out in Russian, “Vladimir! Come here! There’s a rainbow cottage on our balcony!” The man called Vladimir said, “Vladmir, this is odd. I’ll have to call the police.”

The police came. They didn’t know what to do. The president of Russia was walking by, and he saw the house. I came out, and said, in Russian, “I came here from a planet called Glassfay, but for some reason it didn’t go to Chennai, which was where I intended for it to go, but Moscow for some reason.” Vladimir Putin believed me when I conjured my cloak and glided off towards Chennai. I stopped at around eleven pm, and conjured a rainbow house with wheels. I was close to Khabarovsk.

The next day I reached Shanghai, but some people thought I was an alien, and tried attacking me. I just picked them up, put them in a tree, and went along. In Shanghai, I teleported up a skyscraper and put a rainbow house there. I heard some people shouting in Mandarin, “Aliens!”

The police came. I said, “Let me stay here for the night. I’ll go tomorrow.” They let me stay, and The president of China himself came out to Shanghai. He said, “Alien, what are you doing? Get out of China immediately. I didn’t. I said, “Let me stay in China for one night, or else.” He didn’t.

“Freeze, Bloodless one.” He then had cardiac arrest. I kicked him to a hospital, where they took a year to get him back on his feet, because they didn’t know what caused it.

I then slept in peace, blasting out my soul, but only to keep people away. It was insanely weird. I then set off for Chennai at four am.

I kept going until I reached the himalayas. I teleported to the top of mount everest, which is where I spent my night. I then started gliding, seeing all sorts of scenic things. I stopped at the border of Bhutan and India that night.

I then crossed the border between India and Bhutan, and set off towards Chennai. At around noon, I reached Kolkata. I then set off into the Bay of Bengal. I had reached Patna at nine am and Rachi at ten am. In the Bay of Bengal, I felt a wind to the east. I looked and saw an Indigo jet. I pushed it so hard it reached Port Blair much faster than it was supposed to.

I was just a random passenger on a flight from Bangalore to Port Blair, when I saw a person flying towards us with a cloak. I told the crew, when suddenly, the plane got a huge lurch, throwing it to above Veer Savarkar International Airport. The captain came on, and said, “What the heck was that? Anyways, we are above Veer Savarkar International Airport.” I said, “I saw some guy with a cloak flying towards the plane. He might be a real-life superhero.”

We then landed, and when we got off, me and the pilot told the story to the owner of Indigo airlines. The owner was very intrigued, I could tell by the way he looked. I was soon getting requests from all the news outlets. NPR, ABC, CBS, TOI, WSJ, you name it, I got them.

I kept flying towards Chennai. At around six pm, I was over Port Blair. I kept going until I found the place I was looking for. I then slept there. The next day, I headed west. With a good tailwind, I reached in about four hours. I then went into my rainbow house in my family’s complex and started training. When I started, only one power was at silver-my cloak, presumably from gliding.

I could now give cloaks, fly, and warp space. It also increased my speed by ten kilometers per hour.
