EARTH Jason's ringtone blasted in the background, as he made his way back to bed from the restroom. Picking up the phone from the bed, he didn't need to check the identity of the caller. "Hello, Crane!" He croaked in a very sleepy voice. Jason barely had an hour long sleep. He spent the entire night brainstorming on the way forward on finding Minato. It was not just the case, The event which surrounded the disappearance of his brother has traumatized him greatly. "Got a text from Bret. He wants to meet up around 8am. I'll forward the location to you right away. See you around" The call ended as directly as it started. That is Crane's lifestyle, Straight to the point. Looking at the time on his phone It's 6:45am already. "Ouch my head!" the sudden pressure on his head is definitely a result of his stressful day and sleepless night. He fell back unto the bed holding his head. Jason was never one to endure stress. But in this case, he realizes he has to get up despite the migrai

THE UNDERWORLD Xenark stood wearing a hard expression his face completely void of emotions as he stood in the upper chamber of his tower, watching and observing in silence the activities that went on outside and below him. Not that there was anything much to be seen at this point. There hadn't been in a while since most af his plans seemed to be falling through. It had been a long time since he was able to succeed or accomplish any of the missions he had set out for. Way too long in fact.It was driving him mad with rage. He didn't turn when he heard the loud footsteps sounding from the dark hallway, approaching the door of the chambers. Not many of the underworlders if any at all had the privilege of coming into that particular chamber without first asking and gaining his permission. They knew better. None of his subjects would dare to step foot into his personal space unless they were begging for his wrath and if that ever were the case then that was exactly what they would get

UNDERWORLD But his back was to him and Roshi reminded himself that it would be close to impossible to make out anything like that while his back remained facing him. Whatever he had to say he would have to go in blind and hope it doesn't end with his head on a spike. "What about the project Roshi, has something gone wrong? Are the ingredients not complete? Do we need a bigger cave?" Xenark asked, his voice void if emotions as he kept his back facing his servant. "No my Lord Xenark none of that at all. Everything is as it should be. Even better as a matter of fact."Roshi answered, his forehead starting to sweat as he prepared to say what was in his mind. "Then what is the matter Roshi?"Xenark asked again and Roshi blew out a breath as he started to speak, each word that came out of his mouth causing him to sweat even more as he addressed his master and lord, not having an idea what his fate would be after what he was about to say. "I just __ My Lord I just can't help but worry.

AWAKENING Xenark remained silent, not speaking a word for the longest time. Then he asked. "Everything is ready for the task ahead you say?" Xenark asked, finally turning around to face his servant for the first time since he came in. "Yes my Lord." Roshi nodded quickly, feeling the slight relief wash through him at the change in topic. "Very well then, let's not waste anymore time." Xenark said as he started to walk towards the door, his most loyal servant in tow. The mission and experiment for the gurs has been mapped out on Xenark's desk for a long time now.Many a night he'd spent pulling apart old books and ancient scripts in hopes of finding something to help with his mission. Gurrs were an ancient creatures that has been extinct for a time. They weren't supposed to be in existence anymore. But if they helped with what he was planning then Xenark would stop at nothing to have them brought back. He didn't care about all what he might have to do, he was more than ready to

THE RISE OF GURS No one spoke as everyone stared confused at what was inside of the vesle. Instead a new born gurr coming out of it like Xenark and every other person in the cave had expected the giant man made egg remained.the same, expect for horribly smelling liquid now flowing out of it. "What is this?"Xenark asked angrily, his harsh voice finally breaking the silence. Still no one spoke as no single person had a real answer for had happened.Instead the men continued to look between each other as they quietly asked each other what was wrong. "Will someone explain this before I throw you all into that fire pit!? What is the meaning of this nonsense!!? Where is my gurr?!!" Xenark asked, his angry voice ricocheting off the walls of the large cave, sending his men cowering into themselves in raw fear. "Lord Xenark,"The man in charge started as he stepped forward, pausing to look back at the other men and then down at the obviously failed experiment before turning back to his
