The first one up was Niko. He had a bad time sleeping in such luxurious places. To his surprise, as he himself had said he would be a mercenary forever if he would live in a place like this. Maybe he had second thoughts now.
He was sitting on one of the armchairs and was reading through some paper that apparently Noc had left for them to get informed.
Illien asked Azazel “So when we arrive there, you’re going to throw the signal. The guardian will be too busy meddling with us and that will allow team Anniko to travel to Deaiko?”Azazel nodded and continued “That’s right, but also we have to find a way to sabotage the tower.”
“See that?!” Andrey quickly pointed at the sky.“Yeah, go, go, go!” Niko confirmed he saw the sign and jumped into the turbo boat they were about to use to get to the docks. “So what if the tower’s a little broken? It’s not because I eat too much!” the masked guardian in purple yelled.The wind blew to fill the silence. “What a strange creature…” Azazel said to himself. This line of thought was provoked by Gluttony’s body. It looked like a wolf, but it was five times bigger. Front paws were human hands. And the head? Well, it had no eyes. It’s like it had a brain big enough to do primary actions like eating and hunting the weaker than him. Purely animalistic. The head really didn’t seem to serve as anything other than a slot for its enormous mouth. The gray skin and lack of any hair or fur revealed the powerful muscles it had. “Your sins… you have atoned for them.” The judge declared.A small gun-like item pulled out the markings from their necks and the judge spoke once more.“Now you are free.”Andrey immediately smiled and told the others, “Now we can go search for Godfrey!”“Godfrey?” The judge asked.Immediately, Andrey’s eyes opened wide “Do you know him!?”The purple Altandian creature scratched its head and said, “Well, not really. But I have heard of him…”“What have you heard!?”“WhyMakiya 145. Implosion

The shade looked down the dark hole the humans were staring at just now, and after recalling his memory correctly, the Altandian who lured them here successfully assembled the story that would be told.“Yes, I’m not wrong… It must have been twenty years ago.” Thinking of those days the shady Altandian felt nostalgic, yet at the same time, an uneasy feeling consumed him.“I was frightened by the sudden appearance of the small creature. You might be guessing that we didn’t meet here on Alphilia. After all, my kind came here around eight years ago. Still, I was really fascinated by the amount of power this little creature had. The top of its short hair reached my stomach. But what really is of interest is something else. The first human I saw was a male. Scared of the unknown being before me, I attacked the human…”
Many footsteps were heard from the entrance of the cave.Col’Ar looked at the rocky entrance and thought “They have spotted me. Quick, hide, human!”A few hasty steps and they found the perfect cover behind big and old stalagmites. Col’Ar whispered, “Pray they don’t have heat sensors…” and turned off the lighting device.The footsteps from the invaders were louder, which meant they were now close. Though as much as Godfrey looked at the cave’s entrance, nobody was there. It was pitch-dark and no light would reflect from any surface to reveal any objects.Col’Ar realized the enemy had cloaking devices and tried to activate his heat sensor. As the suit with too many tools was connected to his mind, he realized th
Time had passed. Col’Ar and Godfrey found refuge in a mountain far away from the battlefield. It was a no-war zone. They were in a large building resembling a monastery. In a way it was. The residents were all spiritualists. Mages who were adept in meditation, self-conscience, and wisdom. Most importantly - it was one of the few places left that held onto ancient Altandian knowledge.The ability of a human to walk into this sacred realm wasn’t liked by any of the residents there. None of them had seen a human, but the grand monk recognized the species. He knew something, though maybe nobody would ever really know what exactly.Col’Ar really felt suspicious about how the grand monk could know of the existence of humans.The monks wouldn’t accept soldiers. War was the most foolish thing for Alt
