Wind broke, parted in two by the lancing of an unknown object, moving in un-topped speed, almost unnoticeable.

‘’You notice something?’’

‘’notice what?’’

‘’nothing…’’

A few of ant soldiers noticed the sudden change in the movement of wind but they were too slow to see what caused it.

Numbers of them, ‘the Hive’s’ very own soldiers are forming a line, and are preparing for their departure, for a request from the acting head of the Zuotia- They were asked to take the role of guarding the yet-to-be completed castle in absence of the wasps after their camp were relocated.

-

‘’Niru, aren’t you going to rest?’

‘’I don’t feel like I can rest… I feel sorry for them…’’

‘’to who? Those filth flies?’’

‘’THEY’RE HUMANS!’’

‘’ahh…. Sorry…’’

Disappointed to the becoming of the newly transformed filth flies, Niru has to forget about his fellow humans for a while so he can direct his focus for a bigger objective.

‘’ No one except for us in here knows their identity… They will be safer if they stick in the filth…’’

Busy sound filled the Liyonel- The declared name for the midmost of the earth where the castle of Aliyon is founded. Many have gathered around there, hauling themselves for them to finish their work as fast as possible- and so the kingness of Aliyon will be pleased in their worthwhile efforts.

‘’Why did you ordered these weak soldiers to allocate here in the castle?’’

‘’Just a while ago, a scout from the nest reported an act of defiance… I feel pity for them, so I’m going to dispose them myself.

‘’GAHAHA! You call that pity?’’

‘’They are not worth the time of Viscor Mukha. I’ll take care of them myself.’’

While the Ant soldiers were approaching the unfinished castle, a man is waiting for them. A beast in blacken hairy skin, he has 6 arms that twitch every second; He is the leader of the arachnid tribe. Kha’xt Pixo- The arachnids are assigned to the construction of the castle of Zuotia, but Kha’xt Pixo isn’t doing any contribution. He despised doing works but taking commands.

Just a moment ago, a scout informed him that the people from the hive hid the captive humans and transform them without consent from the acting Head.

He’s also commanded a group of wasp soldiers to charge into New Colonia and catch those who have committed the sin of defying Viscor Mukha’s rule- He allocated the assignation of Ant soldiers to the castle so there will be no one to protect the central district of New Colonia.

‘’I will surely secure a position in the castle once it finishes, GAHAHAH!

The ant soldiers are already mid-way to the castle when they saw a group of wasps taking their exact route from where the hive is.

‘’ee? Are they going to the hive? That isn’t the way to the nest…’’

‘’The Head must have allocated them somewhere near the hive’’

In a familiar world, A person in long silky hair is lying under the shade of a tree. His finger flickers as his consciousness comes back to him. The sky is so high and bright that he was blinded by it, he blinked many times before realizing he that he just woke up.

‘’The above is blue?... Where am I?’’

‘’Oh, you just woke up… good morning, Naran, the mad lord of Heavenhearst…’’

‘’Heavenhearst??? And… aren’t you Asescium? You look a little different from before… and who are they?’’

‘’don’t mind these 12 people behind me. Do you want me to tell you what heavenhearst is??’’

‘’… wait… ISN’T THAT ALIYON!? Why is he in here?’’

‘’Gee… stop asking. I will tell you everything you have to know… We’ve waited for you in here for 20 years…’’

‘’20 years? Isn’t that too long? Wait… We came here just 2 days ago… Are you fooling me?’’

‘’This is the timeless earth.’’

‘’Timeless… earth???’’

‘’See them? These beasts and the king of Zuotia has been frozen here as the time.’’

‘’IM LOSING IT ALL!’’

‘’Uhm…to simply put it… it seems that time distorts every time someone enters this realm.

‘’…’’

KUHHSSSHHSSHHHH

Clouds are fizzling as frantic gale clashes with it. Up high in the purple sky, a view of earth that anyone could never imagine has been molded into reality. Saya is overjoyed for seeing something like it.

‘’It was the best gift’’

Aracel is the one whom Saya gave an apple before the sky has been turned into an enchantingly beautiful scenery.

‘’Aracel, I’m going back… I’m feeling not well…’’

‘’Okay, get yourself well! You can always go up here in my home if you want to play or if you are feeling lonely.’’

‘’Sure! Thank you, Aracel, today’s been great.’’

Scared of heights, Saya perked up and took a step. He felt the surface on his feet even though he is on a high place- A solid walkway completely invisible to the eye.

‘’I got up in here with the help of Aracel. I should do this without his help this time… I can do this… Creator, please carry my feet to get down on earth safely’’

 With every step he does, his heart throbs deeper and deeper, but his prayer for the Creator made him courageous and got down with no trouble.

When Saya is already near down the surface of earth, he heard a loud striding and continuous clicking of metal armor. It was from the wasp soldiers, going directly on the way where the Hive is located. They are armed with weapons, thinking that something bad is going to happen, Saya’s immediate response to the situation is to quickly go back at the Hive. Many feet above the ground, he ran away for the shortest route to get to Hive first, and warn the princess and the elders- The soldiers didn’t bother looking up so no one see him.

‘’PRINCESS! PRINCESS!’’- Saya shouts his loudest, that his voice cracks, but his voice is complete inaudible up in the air.

‘’What’s that voice’’- Niru can hear Saya’s shouting, but barely.

He then leaped down by propelling himself with four of limbs- he accidentally made four limbs grow. He was not aware of what he did, but it is the least of his concerns after he jumped.

‘’What did I do?? The Creator must have granted me the strength and courage to jump… Anyway, where is Princess Vibia’’

‘’Did you call my name Saya?’’

‘’The… The wasps are coming!’’

‘’Why would they come here?’’

‘’They are armed with weapons!’’

‘’WHAT?? This is crisis…’’
