First Chant:

All lost wants to be found

Black sky covered with sparkling points looks the same on every planet. Atleast that's what I thought when I was a kid. However each and every planet of

our Galaxy is different. Different plants, different animals, different sky.

After graduation I was assigned as High Class Guard of one of the governing

clans. Lord Kazaeros himself gave me that position pointing that regardless of myyoung age Im much more suitable for this job than any other HG. I think he

either overestimates me or underestimates my new fellow guards. Anyway, this

leads us to my person.

Who am I, you ask. I am Chief Guard of Royal Department, Akh Dhamm.

Well, it might appear simple to tell you my name and position but what does itreally mean to be someone?...

There are only 5 men above me in the whole MWG Society. They are: the

Wind Lord Kazaeros Aarivento, the Fire Lord Hika Pozhar, the Ground King Giji

Lok, the Water Master Nasui Vodha and the mightiest Ellementall Gamidio

Yakufe.

Our race lives peacefully governing the entire Galaxy for over 10mln sun yearsof our planet. Because flow of time is inevitable, our home planet is aging.

Even with our element-control abilities, we cannot stop this matter and so for

centuries map men have been searching for our new home.One planet finally matched our expectations. 3SS-east23 is her official number.

We called her Therra, which literally means, blue home.

Although a young and uninhabited planet with a strong nature balance suresounds great in theory, it must be tested first. Two teams were sent to check

habitability, fauna, and flora of the whole solar system, Therra included.

I'm in charge of group 1 with mission directly on Therra.

My best friend, Rokki, is in charge of group 2 with mission on neighboring

planets.

Rokki always repeats the same phrase before any mission:

No matter how far they send us, how terrifying the mission will get, mark my

words, elements are everywhere and with them we will return.

It sure would be nice if that was true. But since we discovered only 7 controllable

elements, the ones that might get us home could lose to the others.

***Chief! Chief! First officer screamed right into my ear. Report! Were gettin

close to 3SS-east23! Temporary power loss occurred in the middle of worm-

tunnel. Supporters kept substitute air flow stable but we lost contact with

command.


4/84


4of 84

Just as I feared. At such distance without reconfiguration of communicator

settings, it is impossible to keep contact all the time.

Proceed as planned. Estimate the time of arrival and keep trying to regain

contact. Second bridge is free for now. Supporters, get some rest. Well need you

later.Yes sir!

Dozens of soldiers left the bridge in a flash, leaving only me and captain

Megmi Yakufe on stations. Meg is the daughter of General Gamidio Yakufe - he's

probably the most powerful being in the universe. Also she volunteered to join

this mission and I think thatsthe reason I got tricked in this job. Damn babysitter.But what could a warrior like me do in times of peace anyway? At least she is

pretty.

Chief her silky and delicate voice caught my attention.

What is it?

Do you think this planet, 3SS-

Therra.From now on, we call it Therra.

Right Meg sat on the chair next to communicating panel. So this planet,Therra. Do you think it will be fine to invade it and take it for ourselves? I mean,

I know our planet is dying but what if we find some civilized race out there? Will

we invade or retreat?

I dont know. Not yet. Thats why I need to reestablish contact with base. Its

not my decision to make, and neither is yours.She looked at me as if I was some kind of villain who only seeks power and

destruction. I knew what she was thinking about and I agree with that. If therewill be civilization, it will be their choice: either they let us stay or not.

Could you check on first bridge? Send me Khail with status report.

On my way said Meg, and she disappeared behind the cold steel doors.

***Sir! We are in zone 3 now. Shall I call for supporters? asked a voice coming

from the intercom.

Negative. Is the arrival time set?

Yes sir. We will reach Solar System East 23 in half an hour.Very well. Call supporters in twenty-five minutes.

Yes sir.Intercom silenced again.

(end of part 1)

part 2

What if? The only question that cannot be answered properly because no one

knows the future.

What if ifChief! Khail busted on the second bridge with pile of papers in his hand.

What is it? Are we?

No sir, not yet. But please look at this. and he gave me a single page from the

pile This is a scanning report. It looks like were back in action sir. Those ships

arent from MWS. Should we change the course?

Communication?

Still off.

This is bad. If we change the course without informing command first we

might get exiled for insubordination. However, if we leave those ships we mightencounter something even worse.

Call two supporters and captain Yakufe. Assign new mission's priority to C-

Class. Im going for those ships, you continue on first bridge and contact

command ASAP.Roger

In just a few minutes my squad assembled before me. One air and one metal

supporter. It's always good to have them close.

Your names?

Mah Omd said a short chubby guy with beard that reaches the ground. Air

support.Meh Omd said a tall skinny guy with mustaches hanging to his belly.

Metal support.

They looked a little hilarious, and I wasn't the only one to notice - when Meg

entered the bridge, she almost fell from laughter. If I wasnt chief commander, I

would do the sameRelatives?

Yes, brothers. said Meh, the tall one.

Any dangerous mission experiences?

Yes. We were supporters for Lord Kazaeros private fleet during AndromedaRebellion.

Great, veterans. At least they know what to do. As for Meg Well, she has nobattle experience but her knowledge and bloodline gives us advantage.

Ok. The mission is simple. We approach unallied ships and request to speak

with their fleet commander. It is a quick recon mission with eventual force-use

solution. I repeat, EVENTUAL. Do not act on your own accord. We leave in 4

minutes. Dismissed.Supporters rushed to their quarters for supplies but Meg stayed with me. Dont

know why, thoughDont you have anything to take with you from your room?


6/84


6of 84

No. Im good

It seems she doesn't get what sarcasm is Anyway, I prepared the second

bridge to detach the Sniffer from the main ship. All went well even with Meg

looking over my shoulders the whole time Annoying brat. But I cannot leave

her. Shell come in handy and here, no one else beside me can cool her down.All set. Head to the Sniffer. Take Omd brothers with you.

And you, chief?

Ill be right there. I must take something from my room first.

And so, a few minutes later, the Sniffer separated and the recon squad left the

worm-tunnel.Black space with small bright points Like I wasn't expecting this view.

No planets, no moons, no stars, nothing. Just a medium ship, no bigger than our

TherraN-1 without the Sniffer.

If you didn't know yet, TherraN-1 and Sniffer are spaceships standard and x-

small size respectively. TherraN is the modified series of DiscN ships created for

discovering planets. Sniffer is very small ship containing at most 4 people (2

officers & 2 supporters) used specifically for recon and infiltration missions.TherraN series have one Sniffer each. And each team have one TherraN (at least

for now).

Ok. Time to contact those weirdoes. I grabbed the headset and typed in their

antennas frequency. This is Commanding Chief Akh Dhamm. MWS High

Guard. Do you copy? Over.No response, not even a typical buzzing

Can you hear me? This is but I suddenly stopped.Huge hangar gates opened from below the ship and a bright green light was all

we could see in this moment. Nothing came out so I made a move and flew inside

with the Sniffer.

Be careful, and dont act by yourself. I said looking at my team heading for

the exit doors.

Recon squad officially starts its mission. We put our cloaks on and with hoods

up, we entered the ship. But it was pitch black. So what was that blinding green

light? Never mind that, we must find the commander of this ship Or at least the

one who opened the gates. We went deeper and deeper into the hangar with thehope of finding someone, or at least some light. But...

Second Chant:

Closed frontier

"Officer Khail! We have established voice connection with HQ. Shall we sendthem the current mission status and transport report? Sir?

But Khails mind was somewhere else, somewhere where he could do anything

he wanted; he was looking into his past. Brown skies with golden rays of light

bursting through the massive clouds sure were worth remembering. But whathappened below them was a terrifying slaughter. Ocean of dead bodies, most of

them decomposed or beheaded. Friends, families, soldiers, and civilians. All that

is left is suffering and the black-haired Shiroshura Bakemono, shadowed Monster

of White War Zone.

"Sir! Orders?!" the communication officer shouted to his ear with all hismight.

"Shut up and call the generals immediately," the tall, purple-skinned, bald guy

with huge, yellow eyes calmly answered. "Can't you see he's trying to remember

his past again? Now get the generals on speaker."

"Yes sir," said the officer, and he typed some data into the console before him.

At the center of the first bridge appeared a huge holotomic flat screen. Thepurple guy stood at attention before his superiors, and, with calm voice, reported:

"Chief General, sir! This is TherraN-1 on its way to planet Therra. Second

officer Qe Tohr at your services. Status report: we experienced connection loss inthe worm tunnel some time ago, but now it's reestablished. During connection

loss, our scanner noticed unallied spaceships in sector SF-11 northeast.

Commander Dhamm is on his way to investigate those ships and took a smallteam composed of himself, two supporters and Captain Yakufe. Mission priority

C-Class. He should return before we enter the solar system. Estimated time of

arrival: 20 minutes. End of report. What are your orders, sir?"

Four shadowed characters looked at each other without a sound. The one on the

left, a huge, chubby character, stood up and raised his hand.

"We wait," said a slim woman sitting next to the standing man. "Call us when

Chief Dhamm returns, or when you hit SS frontier."

"Yes Ma'am! TherraN-1 out."

The big screen disappeared, and Tohr sat down on the chair behind him.

"All right, boys and girls. Now we wait for Chief and hope we get good news

from him."

"What do you mean?" asked Khail out of the blue.

"I mean," he said as he rested his head on his hand, "if something happens to

those ships this might bring trouble, and our mission is not a trouble-solvers

mission. You following? Or you swinging in the past again?"

part 2:

We slowly got used to this overwhelming darkness swallowing us inside the

huge hangar. Step by step, we discovered some device resembling an elevator,and a white room with shut down screens.

Looks like its abandoned for some time now, said Meg wiping one screen

with her sleeve. Those monitors werent used for years.Meh, go with Yakufe and check the elevator-like thing. It looks like its made

of some unknown alloy. Meh nodded and left the screen room. You, Mah, are

going with me. There must be some generator to turn the lights on somewhere

near this room.

And so we split. Meg and Meh disappeared from my sight in a moment.

Ok, Mah. Listen to me, I whispered to Mahs ear. You cant tell anyone,especially Yakufe, of what youre about to see. Thats an order.

Yes sir.

Since Meg wasnt around, I could freely use at least three elements at once, and,

that way, I can find the electric circuit to the generator. The only problem is that

combining water, metal and lightning elements is extremely unstable.Meh, here. Meg opened the first part of the heavy elevator doors.

Step aside, please. He raised both of his hands, mumbled some incantation,

and closed his eyes. Black Metal Element. Chant #12. Kata Kymbe.

Clinging noise crushed silence in the hangar as the elevator started to tremble.

Meg stepped back more when the elevator fell a few floors down, and Meh went

down with it.

Meh! Meg rushed to the hole where the elevator and Meh fell into. Doors

closed right before Meg got to them, and metallic noises were coming from inside.

Meh! You okay?

Move away from the doors, the muffled voice of Meh stroked deep in her

head.She stepped back a few meters. Doors opened and a tall caped man jumped

down from the elevator roof.

Mission accomplished. Lets go back for Chief and Mah.O-Okay.

At this moment, the hangar was filled with faded green lights and the groups

reunited at the screen room. Mah was holding me on his shoulder while I was

heavily panting. Meg and Meh looked at each other and Meh smiled when hiseyes connected with his brothers.

What happened? Akh, are you okay?

Y-Yeah Never better. I forced myself to smile and look at her while

passing by. Hows the elevator?

Were all good. Now that the power is on we can use it without elements. Itsa high tech metallic alloy. Ive seen one of those, though they aren't easy to get.


10/84


10of 84

Great... Now lets move up... I let go of Mah and stood up, still panting.

These screens are out of order... No way could we use them And we still

must find the crew

After finally finding my balance and regenerating a little, I closed the screen

room and we headed to elevator. A small shadow moved behind the barrels closeby, but I was too tired to notice it. We entered the elevator, which, thanks to Meh,

was as good as new.

Up or down, sir? I saw some lights a few floors below.

No. I looked at Meh straight in the eyes and I saw that my iris blackened.

We go up. Theres nothing worth checking below.The elevator moved, and we moved up a few floors.

Stop. Thats enough. Were going in here.

Eeeh Meg grabbed my shoulder. Chief? How do you know where to go

and where not? What exactly happened at the screen room?

Nothing happened. I looked back above my shoulder so she couldn't see my

eyes directly. Its just an experience and a hunch, dont let it bother you.

Doors opened and a blue corridor going straight forward appeared. We left theelevator, leaving the doors open, just in case. Now the fun part begins.

Third Chant:

Enemy of my Enemy should beware

Imagine, what would happen if there is more than one of you?What if, in a neighboring galaxy, there exists an individual so similar to

yourself that it would be impossible for anyone to tell the difference?

What would happen if, at some point in their life, those two identical

individuals meet?What if they resemble each other not as much as they thought they should?

What would happen if, even though they looked and lived similarly, their

characters were so different that their ideals would crush one another?

Master, weve reached Tech-nom IV, and the leaders are ready to negotiate

conditions of their surrender.Magnificent. A tall young man smiled in his commander chair. Were

rolling boys. Send the troops to all big cities. When negotiations end, well finally

be able to reach the Milky Way.

Yesir!

The tall commander stood up. He wore a long, crimson-black coat that reached

to the floor. He slowly approached the teleporting circle and put on his half-facedmask and wide hood. He looked back at the window and glanced one last time at

the metallic landscape of skyscrapers and traffic-jammed airways - highways

made suspended in mid-air. While the ship passed the highest and the biggestbuilding of the Capitol, the mysterious man snapped his fingers and was

teleported to the roof of that building, where dozen of soldiers, the King of Tech-

nom System and his advisers have been waiting for the man.Klaah hajkaal kulikkau. King of Tech-nom spoke in an unknown dialect, and

bowed before the approaching man. Callyps kallak kalia kilka. Kolkkai hjallkaj

jaklie uklila ieil ikii.

Its good to see you in person too, King Kelliuk. And please, drop this dialect,

I dont particularly like it, said the man.

Lakkiul I mean, of course, sir.

Please follow me, King, Sir, said the short adviser standing behind the King.

As the mysterious man entered the huge building with the King and his men,

hundreds of small ships separated from the gigantic ship above the city, and, with

half the speed of light, flew in all directions across the planet. Cities purely made

of metal, with only water below, reflected the sunlight from the nearby star,

slightly blinding pilots of small transporting ships.

So,King Kelliuk, what do you propose? asked the masked, hooded man. He

was so tall that he had to slouch to prevent his head from hitting the metal ceiling.

Well The King wasn't sure how to respond.

He knew that he must surrender to prevent his planets from further destruction,even though there was no other race so advanced in technology as them.


12/84


12of 84

Let me, my lord. The short, bald, and blue-skinned adviser showed up from

nowhere. Commander, sir, our nation is a very peaceful and loving race, devoted

to technology and science development. We know how strong and fearless the

Ta-imu race is, and we would appreciate cessation of assaults on our planets, thus

giving away leadership of our System to you, sir. We dont want any more bloodto be shed, and more scientists to die without fulfilling their lifelong wish.

And what wish is that, Likuli? asked the mysterious man as he entered the

royal chamber after the King.

To reach the unreachable and discover the undiscovered. Thats our races

motto.To reachthe unreachable the masked man repeated as he sat on the Kings

throne and took of his hood. Yes. Id like to hear more about that

A few minutes later, in every city on the planet, huge screens appeared high on

the sky. There was the Commander of Ta-imu with his mask on sitting on the

throne of King Kelliuk. On his feet were the King and his adviser bowing.

Citizens! emanated a loud voice from the screen. Your King, Kelliuk Iklia,

surrendered, and hereby I, Commander of Ta-imu, will be the government of thisSystem. Do not be afraid though; your war has ended now. You are free to

research however you want. I promise, nothing bad will happen to you as long as

you become part of Ta-imu Gallaxian Empire. In every city on every planet, a

branch of my army will be stationed to protect and serve. Live in peace, my dear

scientists. Live in name of science and Mine!Black troop soldiers jumped from the ships in every city of Tech-nom IV.

Now, my friend, the masked man said as he leaned over the bowing ex -king,tell me: when will I reach the unreachable? Tell me about the Milky Way.

part 2

Hurry up, Meg. Were not here sightseeing you know. If we dont end it quick,

we might not catch up to TherraN-1 before it reaches the Solar System East 23I know sir, just It looks really weird. Empty rooms with only lights. A

green light in the hangar but there was no one who opened it. An abandoned ship

but with technology much more developed than ours

I know it seems weird. Thats why we must find the bridge fast. I looked at

the floor plan on the wall. And I think were getting close.

Indeed we were. An emptied bridge with half of the equipment the crashed to

the floor awaited us behind huge, halved wooden doors. We entered without a

sound. The Omd brothers went to check the communication status and electricity

supplies. Meg and I scouted the rest of the working machines.Wait. Meg stopped me when I was about to turn one of monitors on.

What now?

Mah, turn the lights out, Meg commanded, but Mah looked at me before

following the order.What is it? Have you noticed something? I asked when the lights went off.

Yes, she answered peacefully. Look.

She was pointing her finger on the screen I was about to get running. There

were weird symbols, different than any languages we've ever seen. The letters

were written with some kind of fluorescence paint. Below there were six numbers.

11, 23, 254, 101, 5874, 7What are those sir? Meh came closer leaving his brother next to light switch.

Im not sure but

They look somehow familiar. I touched the letters and numbers. Still sticky. It

cannot be paint.

Who painted it?Its not painted. Its written. I smelled the paint-like substance from my

fingers. Its not paint. Its blood.

And those numbers?

Meg, scan them for me. Meh, Mah, search for other messages. There must bemore of them here.

We searched the whole bridge but no other message was found. I sat on thefloor and took out my bottle filled with water. While I was drinking, I looked up.

What I saw shocked me. The whole ceiling was covered by words written with

blood. Only few were readable. Milky, Way, and Callyps - whatever the latter

means.

Meg. Scan that too. Then lets lighten this place a little.


14/84


14of 84

After the lights were back on, I switched on the messaged monitor but there

was no data left - only ship plans and a few working monitoring cameras. On one

of the screens something moved. Looked like a humanoid creature, only thinner.

Isnt that the hangar with our ship?

Looks like it, sir.Meg, Mah, you two stay here. I gave them earphones to keep in touch.

Meh, we're going there to check out what, or who that is.

Yes sir.

As we were heading downstairs in the elevator, Meg informed me of the

position of the creature. When we reached our ship, the creature was still in thehangar.

Meh, do exactly what I tell you. Otherwise it might get nasty.

I gave instructions to Meh who instantaneously jumped on the ship and started

mumbling some chants. I took the hood off, sat on the ground and closed my eyes.

In this dark I wouldn't find a cholder an elephant like animal from my home

planet, Ellemia IIeven if it'd stand before me.

Oooi! Whoever you are, Im unharmed! I screamed with eyes closed.After the echo silenced, I heard some motion below the engines. I pricked up

my ears and waited for the creature to make a sound. After a few minutes of

sitting on the ground without moving a muscle, the creature came closer from

behind me. I whispered the lightning-eyes chant to see everything nearby clearly

for a few seconds.Lightning Element. Chant #14. Thunder Vision. I opened my eyes.

I saw everything in a yellow and light blue aura. The creature was right behindme. I turned around and grabbed it with one hand. It was just some kid. He

must've lived on this ship alone for some time now. The second I grabbed him, I

lost my vision, but I heard Meh jumping down from the ship and felt metal

covering the boy and my hand.

Great, you blocked me with him, Meh.

Sorry sir. I didn't mean to. He released my hand from the metal coffin

covering the boy.

Meg, do you hear me? Is there any other movement seen on the screens

except ourselves?No sir, lights are on everywhere but in the hangar, and there is definitely no

one else beside us here.

Copy. Come here with Mah and the scans of those weird writings. Well give

them to Khail for translation.

Yes sir, well be right there.

As for you, kid, I said as I looked at the boy's head bound by metal. Do youunderstand what Im saying? Do you know my language? Say something.

Meh released his mouth so he could be heard speaking aloud.

Klakk iliulla. Liau lijk killij kolaku.What? Sir, what is this dialect?


15/84


15of 84

I dont know, Meh Its very interesting though

Meg and Mah met us inside the Sniffer. All was set and we were ready to fly

off. The problem was how to open the hangar. Meg went to ask the kid even

though I said its pointless. When the kid saw her face he looked surprised, and

started to cry, mumbling some word, "klaija. Meg freaked out and stepped back.The kid stopped crying, smiled and closed his eyes. The green light shone from

inside his metal coffin and the hangar opened. We flew out with more questions

than when we entered


16/84


16of 84

Fourth Chant:

Home is where you live, not the other way around

Officer Khail, sir! Were here.Stop the engines and call the Generals immediately. Tohr, track the Sniffer.

Yes, sir

Frontier of the not yet seized Solar System. Dark space, the center of Milky

Way Sector East 23. Huge gas planets, emptied wasteland planets. The closer tothe Sun, the smaller and more stable planets appear. Only one habitable planet out

of ten other planets rounding the star.

Sir, we have recent info from Chief Dhamm. Hes on his way. Hell be here

with hyper transmission engines in about 2 minutes. Tohr sat on Commanders

chair and gave Khail a single sheet of paper. Looks like your governing, sir.He smiled like never before.Dont make me change the next two minutes into personal horror, Qe. You

know why I got the leadership not you.

Temporary leadership

Whatever. Youve seen records of Andromeda Rebellion. I dont want my old

self to return. Khail grabbed Qes uniform and tossed him out of the bridge withone pull. And neither do you.

Yar e yar (myoh myin Tohrs home planet language) chill it, officer The

Generals are waiting. Im off for now, your turn to entertain them. He closed thedoors still smiling.

A huge screen appeared before Khail. He stood firm and recited:

This is Officer Khail Abben, temporarily in charge of TherraN-1 mission.Status report: Weve reached Frontier of SS-East23, and await for Chief

Dhamms team to return. All machines are working flawlessly since the

communication loss in worm-tunnel.

And what about Chief Akh Dhamms team's side mission? a shadowed

woman asked Khail, who was looking at the other Generals.

His ship is on the way back, the team is predicted to return in less than two

minutes.

Perfect. Continue as planned when Chief Dhamm returns and let us know

when you land on Therra, said the tall, chubby figure of a general on the left.

Roger.

The fat general and the lady general are the ones that usually speak; the other

three only watch, and one of them is not even on the screen But thats just how

they are. Only families and HG are allowed to talk to them right now, but it looks

like the unspoken rule might change soon.

Sir! One of soldiers ran through the doors. The Sniffer is back.

Idiot, throw them the detent, moron. Their ship is too small to grab on byitself.


17/84


17of 84

Y-yesir!

Soon after that, Khail got a new command to prepare the guest room,

something to eat, and come with best translator we have. Thats a stupid

command, since Khail was the best translator we have. After a few minutes, the

room was clear and set with food on the table and only Khail inside. Doorsopened and Meg entered the room with a worried expression on her face.

Alone? she asked quietly.

Yeah, whats going on? What happened? What were those ships?

Not now, she whispered, and left the room.

A moment later, I entered the room with Meh and the mysterious kid sleepingin his metal coffin. Khail, surprised at first, stood up as if burned. It took him

seconds to figure out whats in the metal. I gave Meh a signal torelease the kid

from the box, and Meg to close the door. Mah was waiting on the other side. The

kid sat on the bed, and with half-opened eyes started to mumble again.

K-klaija Klaija kau ikilo ai. The boy repeated same phrase all the time.

Khail, do you recognize this language?

Affirmative, sir. This is definitely the mother language of Technomians,scientific race of humanoids. Very intelligent and exploratory. We lost contact

with them even before the Andromeda Rebellion started. Their system is in the

other Galaxy. Theyre the only ones able to travel through Galaxy Passage

safely

Technomians, huh? How on hell did the Technomian kid end up on anabandoned ship in a vast space then?

Ill try to ask him Klakuj lakil, killij uliu koi ul?Loiu kijal kilal akkilo iuki uoulo aikul oiul.

What did he say?

He said All my family died on the ship waiting for the return or something

This dialect is very difficult.

Then maybe well leave him with you. Tell him were friends now, give him

something to drink and eat, and ask about what happened there.

Okay.

As we were about to leave the room, the kid jumped off the bed, hugged Meg,

crying and repeating klaija.Sir Khail? asked Meg What does this klaija mean?

If Im not mistaken, he called you 'sister'"

Meg, you and Khail get as much information from the kid as you can. We

move to Therra immediately. Ill let the Generals know whats going on after I

get my questions answered. I gave Khail scans of writings on the bridge of

abandoned ship. You can translate it for me meanwhile, right?I left the three of them in the empty room. I sent the Omd brothers to rest and

made a request they not tell anyone what they saw here. In a few minutes, the

ship slowly moved and passed SS-E23 frontier heading towards the future of ourrace. Towards Therra.

part 2:

Welcome on Therra said Khail and Tohr simultaneously.

Green lands and pure blue oceans. Planet Therra. Our new home.

Boys, I smiled to them, but Meg looked at me with rage in her eyes, andgirls, were home. Khail, scan for any sign of civilization. Qe, contact me with the

Generals and Rokki. I have plenty to tell them

***I hope you bring me good news, Kelliuk. A bored shadowed character sitting

on a throne looked up at the small ex-king of Technomians.

Y-yes, sir. We rebuilt the connector and were ready to test the portal. Would

you like to see it, sir?

Indeed. The Commander of Tai-mu stood up and entered the well lit corridor.Show me results of your work.

There is just one small problem with the connection of our Galaxy and Milky

Way, sir.

Im listening.

Theres the problem with time flow differences.What do you mean? The interested Commander slowed.

Well To put it simply One year here is equal to 25 years out there. And it

was two years ago since we last time traveled there.

So how many years have passed there?

Almost 50 years, sir. Probably only the oldest of MWS would remember us.

How much could they increase their power?

If our calculations are correct, sir, they should still control only seven

elements But none of them is unstoppable. And, if the 2000-years genius hasnt

been born yet, your army and our technology are more than enough to finish them

quickly.

So you do have a good news after all.Commander and Kelliuk entered a huge hangar with rectangular shaped

construction at the exit. Beam of green light shot out in the sky creating a

pentagramic violet hole sucking air inside it. Few ships entered the hole, and soonafter, the hole disappeared. Then, something went wrong; the hole opened again

and almost all ships returned, except one.

The device started to make annoying buzzing noise. Commander and Kelliuk

went to talk to the crew of the ships.Captain, report what happened. Commander ran towards the ships.

Sorry, Commander, but the Captain you wanted to talk to is dead. A young

pilot took of his helmet.

Tell me everything.

Looks like they had some rebellion going on and we were sent right in themiddle of it. And one ship didnt reenterthe Passage. I think it was your sisters

ship, sir. They stayed till the end to cover us and didnt make it in time. Im sorry,

sir.

M-my sisters ship? KELLIUK! Furious red eyes shined bright from below

the mask when Commander hit Kelliuk in the face sending him fly 20 feet back

You insolent bastard! Whos order was it to send my sister on the test drivethrough the Passage?! Speak at once or I swear youll beg for death after Im

done with you!

C-cool down, sir. The young pilot caught Commanders hand above his head.

I know whos order. Your fathers, sir. It was General Callyps, himself, who sent

her with us.Kelliuk. When the portal can be reopened?

Sorry, sir, but if I can see correctly, whole device went down, and fixing it

acquires a lot of time

HOW LONG?!

A year, or two Maybe

Is there anything we could do to hurry this up?

Sorry, sir, but no. The recalibration of device itself took us 3 months ofcalculating Nothing can be done now.

I want results, ASAP. Im leaving Tech-nom System for now. Let me know

when you fix this bloody machine.

Yes sir

The young Commander left the hangar and entered his throne room. He tookoff his official cloths and put on his old training set. He left the mask on the

throne and covered his face with a hood and a scarf. Later on, his ship has beenseen leaving the atmosphere of Tech-nom IV.

Father Why? Commander switched to autopilot mode. Why her, not

me?... Why Raida?

Fifth Chant:

And so began The War

After TherraN-1 landed safely on planet Therra with one extra passenger,Rokki, commanding officer of TherraN-2 team ended scanning of the other

planets in SS-east23 system. Rokkis ship joined Dhamms soon after that.

Therra was supposedly uninhabited planet, but TherraNs scanners found small

readings of primitive civilizationFirst Earthlings.Thanks to Khails translating ability Ellementalls got FE agreement to colonize

the Therra.

The boy, Kenul Oial in short Ken was the only living survivor of

Technomian ships massacre that occurred shortly after he was born. The facts are

still unknown.Technomians coming from neighbor Galaxy are very similar to Ellementalls

but instead of developing inner power to control elements they chose the path of

science and technology. Ken, who by mistake took captain Meg Yakufe for his

long dead sister, never knew any details about his home world since he was born

on the ship he was found on.

Year after year, Generals one by one came to Therra with the rest of theEllementall race.

But then, when the last ship left Ellemia Prime with General Yakufe onboard

something happened Something that wasnt predictable at the moment.

***The best Technomian scientists were working on fixing Galaxy Passage Gates

device while Young Commander returned home to speak with his father GeneralCallyps. He was enraged for sending his sister with untested portal and blamed

him for inability to return her home. Driven with madness and furry in his eyes he

killed his father, but not without costs. Young Callyps barely managed to survive

the clash of the most fearsome warriors of Ta-imu Gallaxian Empire.

Beaten but not defeated he swore to bring his sister Raida back, conquer asmany planets as possible and become Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Thanks to

Technomian data he found the only enemies whod stand in his way to Power.Race from neighbor Galaxy Ellementalls. But as they are now, with only 7

elements fully controllable, their infinite potential can be stopped once and for

all

However, due to Galaxy Passage time flow disturbance time in Empire flows

25 times slower than in Milky Way. They still might grow stronger.Callyps returned to Tech-nom IV after long two years of training, older, wiser,

stronger. He had one ace up his sleeve. He learned to control one element

neither of the Ellementalls is able to tame yet.

His ships were ready. The portal was tested, but Callyps sister wasnt found.

With bloody red eyes he wore on his mask and put on his armor, reading for the

upcoming battle.

At solar eclipse Callyps Army of Ta-imu entered Galaxy Passage Gate and

started the invasion. It was solar eclipse out there too Coincidence or fate?

***Yakufes fleet entered worm-tunnel and General gave last glance at his

deserted and ready to die birth place. As the entrance to the tunnel was closing, he

saw what he feared those past 50 years. The Ta-imu has come.

Knowing that Ellementalls entered worm-tunnel General Commander Callyps

ordered to pursuit. Yakufes ship was faster so he had few minutes to inform

everyone on Therra about the danger and order preparations for upcoming battle.

When General Yakufe, the strongest Ellementall ever born, landed on Therrathere was no choice but to face the enemy head on.

Callyps fleet stationed on nearby planet Mavoros (aka Mars) while Callyps

alone flew on Therra to negotiate conditions of battle.

General Yakufe, as the leader of Ellementalls and the President of the MWSconfronted masked man on the Deserted Island (current Australia).

4 rules were established:

1) Battles and War cannot involve civilians and innocent creatures.

2) Battles and War are won by test of strength both Commanders and simple

warriors.

3) Battle is lost when one side surrender, retreat or Commander is dead.4) Any battle can be paused by Challenger, person who challenge the

strongest warrior of the enemy army and is immediately won when one of them is

victorious.

And so, after few days, Callyps came on Therra and challenged the strongest

warriorGeneral Gamidio Yakufe.

(end of part 1)


22/84


22of 84

part 2:

Ellementalls! laud voice reached every person on the sandy land. I, General

Commander Callyps hereby claim the right to victory through following rulefour! Any battle can be paused by Challenger, which is me, person who

challenge strongest warrior of the enemy army! So I do! Who of you, Guards,

Captains, Officers, Generals, who is the strongest? Who will face me today? In

whose hands will you put the fate of your world? Masked man wandered in a

circle with his hands up.

Everyone stood still, we knew whats goin to happen next

You?! Callyps turned around and with surprise in his voice he looked at the

person replying to his challenge. I thought you were mere officer sent by

cowardly superiors.This ends after one of us wins, right? calm and quiet voice of skinny man

with brown cloak and white hood was sure at ease. If I win, no more blood will

be shed for now and your army will leave our Galaxy.

General Yakufe step by step was closing in to the opponent. Callyps put hiscrimson hood up and laughed.

Agreed. And ifyou lose, I destroy every civilized world of MWS and leave

Therra and Ellementalls for dessert.

Yakufe looked at him with cold blue eyes. It was the first time Ive seen his

face clearly, not to mention him fighting so close.

Agreed. and he rushed at Callyps with speed of sound. Wood Element.Chant #7. Tama nai Bokken(No Soul Wooden Sword)

From nowhere in General Yakufes hand showed up almost body long wooden

black sword. Yakufe poked Callyps in his masked face but the latters reflex

allowed him to avoid hit by dashing back.

Ellement Fusion. Fire, Air, Metal, Earth Elements. Chant #1. Kat Anah(Hardened Blade)

Good, show me if the rumors are true! Show me your races potential!

Wooden sword shortened a little and bound holder to the palm with chain.

Yakufe touched the sand with the blade which started to suck it and glow whileair revolved around it. Callyps stood undaunted and asked:

Can I ask something unrelated? Is it true that by combining elements yourelifespan shortens a little?

Yakufe without response neither verbal nor gestural jumped back few meters

and slashed horizontally.

Chant #2. Nagaekor(Mystic slasher)

Fiery wave in the shape of the crescent bun churned the sand up and firedtowards Callyps. He simply risen one of his hands and reflected it and split it in

half. Surprised Yakufe kneeled and stuck the glowing blade in the sand. He tookoff his cloak and hood revealing his body to be full of scars and tattoos.


23/84


23of 84

Oh, I was waiting to test this one before Ill die I must admit, y ou have

some skills boy. Yakufe stood up and clenching his fists he smiled. Forbidden

element, time. Chant #0. Berhenti Sebentar (Momentous Stop)

After that everything I saw happened in a flash, in a blink of an eye.

Fortunately I dont need to blink much. I think I was the only one beside Generalswho saw it at all.

Yakufe jumped extremely high spinning around in all directions. Callyps

somehow was already up above and took off his crimson hood and coat. Yakufe

still spinning tried to hit Callyps bare handedly but with no effect. Bandages

covering Callyps hands fell off and he grabbed hidden small knife blades.Yakufe unable to defend himself while spinning stopped for a moment but

Callyps was faster and cut off both his arms before kicking him down. The

moment Yakufe was supposed to hit the ground, Callyps moved even faster and

caught Generals head in midair. Then Yakufe heavily breathing whispered last

chant.

On the day of all eclipses, when one day in time will stop, what was white

will fade to black, what was black and lost, come back Forgotten element, fate.Chant #13. Destiny curse.

Yellow and Sapphire light struck Callyps face destroying left half of his mask,

revealing that way 3 long vertical scars. The scars glowed blue and crossed on in

one point exactly in the middle of his eye.

Time went back to normal and everyone was shocked to see General dying onthe ground literally armless while Callyps was just a little tired and without a

scratch.I won! Callyps screamed with madness HAHAHA!Now obey the rules!

The War began, but youre out of it! You get it? When all races except you will

extinct, Ill come back to finish you off! Haha and THAT was the strongest race

with unlimited potential everyone in our Empire feared? This must be a joke!

Hahaha!

Still laughing, Callyps kicked almost dead Yakufe to other Generals and called

for his ship. Fortunately Meg and her mom wasnt allowed to be here. When

Callyps was pulled into his transporter I took a good look at half of his face. Ive

seen him before, but where and how? And I remember I saw the person withcrossed on eye scars too.

Callyps fleet destroyed any technology that could let us contact and help the

rest of Milky Way. No tech, no ships, no contact and no supplies on Therra able

to replace damaged machinery.

Indeed. Callyps was right. The War has just began. And Im not going to let

him end it his way.

Sixth Chant:

Now and Then. Nothing important changed

Sensei! Sensei! Its missing the ending!No, my young warrior, the story never ends. Have you already forgotten the

truths from the temple?

No master, but its not what I meant Look!

Young boy, no more than 10 years old, ran through the hall to the next roomwith old scroll in his hand.

Lying on the couch, middle-aged man smoking a pipe took the scroll from the

boy and smiled.

My boy he unreel the paper coil, got up from the couch and pushed boy back

to the room he came from. This is just a half of what we succeeded to retrieveafter so many wars Find the scroll with this symbol on it he showed the boysmall multi-cross shaped symbol in the bottom left corner of the scroll.

Room was full of books and papers laying everywhere with no place to leave

the cup of tea for a moment. The man leaned on the doors and still smoking pipe

looked as boy was looking through the bookshelves, desk and piles of paper to

find the one scroll his master mentioned.After few minutes of searching, boy sit tired on the floor.

What do you think youre doing, boy?

Wh What do you mean? boy asked while heavilypanting.What I mean is my business, but what should YOU do right now? Is sitting on

the floor the best way to find something? What did they taught you in the temple

anyway?Boy's azure eyes pierced masters dark brown ones with deep sadness. The

temple is gone, the monastery crumbled, the monks are dead.

Come on, speak up, what did they taught you?

I I cant I dont know what you want to know, sensei

Tell me one rule you had to follow in the Temple and the only one I said you

can break when I took you in.

The rule still panting, black haired boy stood up and whispered No

chants are allowed without permission of the Higher Fathers.

So? Find this bloody paper and read the story to the end As I said, one must

know past to make the future And stop bugging me with questions every now

and then. Come when youre finished

Yes, sensei

The boy put on his white hood and joined his hands in praying position, then he

reached out one hand forward making it fist and whispered:

Blue sky and blue water, guide the moon and sun. Feel the tree, feel the ink.

Smell the parchment, taste its age.


25/84


25of 84

He opened his eyes which glowed dark deep red and opened the outstretched

palm. The boy created small whirl above his hand sucking all the air in.

Basic Fusion. Wood and water element. Written Searcher. Come, scroll with

cross symbol.

From the huge pile of papers on the window still few old and a little burnedsheets flew up to the ceiling and fused into one long scroll.

The whirl on boys open palm stopped, therewas no more wind current in the

room and scroll slowly sank onto his hooded head.

Sensei! It worked! the boy screamed rushing to the doors with rolled scroll in

his hands when he remembered last words of his current teacher.His hand stopped before it reached the door-knob. He pulled it back, took off

the hood and looked at the scroll.

No, I think he knows boy turned around and sat on the chair in the center

of the room. No need to disturb him for now, lets get back to reading, shall we?

Mister Dhamm?

He rolled out the coil and began reading.

***In the room across the hall Sensei took out the phone and looked at the time.

'Its late, over 3pm in the new HQ' he thought and opened window. He typed the

number and before he could hear single signal some deep male voice answered.

Father Cheng, I thing the boy is finally ready to start his actual training.

Very good. deep voice could be heard loudly even without speaker being

turned on. Its still very much time left but also many things the boy mustwithstand.

What do you suggest to do?

For starters, when he finish the elder scrolls, let him pass ADAM exam

Lets see if this time Battler can survive the incoming events.

Yes father. Ill fill you in his progress shortly afterwards...No need If I was right, and you know Im always right, this boy might be

the next Battler.

So?

What do you mean so, son? Bring him to me even if he fails, just rememberto record it all for me.

Of course, dad.The conversation was terminated and Sensei looked at the rising above the

mountains sun. He closed the window and lighten the pipe. He took deep breath,

jumped on the couch, laid down and smiled.

'So, is the boy ready?'

part 2:

The History Records of the Great War with Time, Scroll Second written down

by Father Elijah. Thats the title that was visible at the top of the long document.

The boy sitting on the chair started reading the text out loud.After the death of General Yakufe, The Giant Army of Time left Solar System

just like Callyps promised

***Few hours after Gamidios funeral, I was called by the rest of Ellementall

General Council. As I walked through the city to the Council Building I passed

next to Yakufes mansion. Ms. Yakufe wasnt on the funeral, I think she couldnt

bear it after all Meg on the other hand never even shed a single tear.

I saw her eyes when she found out about the Battle. I must inform Generals shemight want to avenge her dad next time Callyps shows up.

Dhamm! Hey! Akh, here! familiar voicecalled me when I was about to enter

Councils Room.

Oh, its you Rok, whats up? Im wanted or something? I thought youre

assigned to The Law Forces now.I am, and youre far from being wanted. he took me few steps back from the

door and whispered Is it true?

Is what true? I had no idea what he was talking about.

Did something happened? If yes then why am I not informed? Did Council

called me to fill me in something?

You know, man. That when General Yakufe fought this whole Commander

Callyps only Generals and those on their level could see the fight. I heard it was

so intense and fast that no one who was there and spoke with me afterwards

couldnt see a damn.

Oh, that Yeah, it was very condensed fight.

So?What so?

Did you see anything? I mean, youre practically the only one I know whos

only one rank bellow General. You probably are on their level.I didnt want to speak about that at the moment. Not after what happened with

Yakufe family. And not before meeting with the Council.

As I was trying to avoid answer helped came just in time.

High Guard Chief Akh Dhamm. You may enter the Council Room now. TheGenerals are waiting for you.

Thanks Jegh, Im coming. I turned around and whispered to Rokki I tell you

later, maybe after diner. Meet me on the Guard Squads Training Grounds.

And I entered through the huge stone doors.

Two rows of high guard soldiers stood at alertness facing the center, makingpath for me to get closer to four figures standing at the center of the room.


27/84


27of 84

With my head held high as I got closer to the center, the room became more

lighted with each step I made. When I stopped in front of the Council members,

General Aarivento have spoken first as my straight superior.

Akh Dhamm, High Guard Chief, Commander of Hidden Stealth Forces and

Captain of 4th Unit Fleet Stargate. You were summoned here by remaining fourmembers of Ellementall General Council to be tested.

Due to sudden death of Chief General Gamidio Yakufe in combat the vacancy

in his position is crucial and must be filled as quickly as possible. said the huge

male figure standing next to Lord Kazaeros, General Giji Lok.

We considered your abilities and skills to be on a decent level to enter ADAMtest. continued Lord Kazaeros. To enter the test there must be fulfilled few

conditions. First, previous Chief General must pass away or give up his position.

Second, the successor must be on at least General level in every aspect. Third, the

successor must be considered matured and experienced by every member of the

Council and at least three High Guards. All conditions are fulfilled. You must

now state your answer, with no hesitation.

Lady Nasui came out of line. Or more like the three other Generals steppedback a bit.

Are you ready to take responsibility over this whole planet, fate of their

inhabitants and all living things under your wings?

Yes I am. I answered with no hesitation, I will have time to think about all

this later.Lady Nasui took one step back and Lord Hika moved to the front in her place.

Do you oath to fulfill your responsibilities and protect all things from evilelements in times of peace as well as times of war and destruction?

I do.

Then General Lok switched places with General Hika Pozhar.

Are you prepared for the ADAM test? Remember, it will be extremely

dangerous and ends with either your death or completion. Are you prepared to put

your life at stake for peace?

I am.

All Generals stood in a line again and Lord Kazaeros reached out his hand to

me. I shook it and everyone smiled.I had to leave the city in less than an hour. There is one condition that must be

fulfilled to complete the test. One must survive whole year in the isolated area

and gain full control over seven basic elements: water, air, lightning, flame, wood,

stone and metal.

I packed some cloths, some necessary stuff and went to the Southern Gates of

the City of Chronostary.I bumped into Rokki half way between my quarter and the Gates.

Oh, Akh. Good luck. I heard about the test. Its extremely tough, right?

Yea, there was supposed to be other successor of General Yakufe but he diedduring the test over 10 years ago.


28/84


28of 84

Do you know who he was?

Yes. He was General Yakufes first born son. He was around my age then...

Anyway, Ive got to run. Ill see you later then.

Yea. and I walked away south. Dont die on me there! Remember:

But I needn't to hear his voice, I knew exactly what he was screaming about.His motto:

No matter how far they send us, how terrifying the mission will get, mark my

words, elements are everywhere and with them we will return.

And Im more than positive that this time it will come true.

Seventh Chant:

The Test Subject

After I left Chronostary City I headed south, to the mountains.According to notes left by the late General Yakufe, the ADAM test is divided into

8 parts called the Trials.

First trial named Inner voice require candidate to find ones inborn element.

By feeling nature and listening into the 4 main elements one is able tocommunicate with inner voice, voice of ones basic power, one's basic element,

therefore the first ever used.

Usually first usage of the element happens in two years after being born so no

one is able to remember what the element was. Sometimes its the same through

whole generations. But its not a rule.My parents died before I went to Academy and learned to control elements

properly, but as long as I remember I could always use 3 elements.

Water, Lightning and Air. It must be one of them.

When Ive walked a few miles I stopped to meditate. I was far enough from the

village not to be influenced by elements controlled there all the time. I sat on the

small hilltop in the forest near the pond.Breath in. Breath out. Constantly thinking about my basic element I heard

whistling. It grew stronger and louder as I continued meditation. I heard nothing

more than this whistling noise.Then as I was covered by darkness inside my thoughts I heard a voice, female

voice. It was a whisper so I couldnt hear it due to constant whistling. What an

annoying sound. But on the other hand very calm and peaceful.The whistling volume decreased and the whispering stopped. With closed eyes

I couldnt tell how much time passed.

'Find me Find me' I heard the womans voice again 'Akh Dhamm Find

me You know me I was with you whole your life Find me'

Suddenly warm and soft wind dabbed my face and sweet chrysanthemum smell

woke me up from deep meditation.

I opened my eyes, whistling stopped and the female voice said last words:

'Feel my soul and find me on the heights'

I knew where I had to go, deep into the mountains. Luckily its summer so it

should be warm and nice up there, but still chilly and windy.

I grabbed my bag and jumped on tall birch below which I meditated. Jump by

jump I reached the top of the tree and looked around. Hundreds of miles in bushy

dark forest distended between me and the rocky hills I must go to.

I took an apple out of my bag and ate it in a flash. It was midday when I started

meditation but the moon was very high when I was awaken. I decided to go to

sleep and move out at dawn.


30/84


30of 84

Night was very calm, no wind, no clouds, clear black sky with millions of stars

and crescent moon.

I put down the fire after I ate some quail drumsticks and fell asleep.

I woke up right before the sunrise. It was chilly and the dew covered

everything around me including my cape which was covering the bag.I flicked the dew of the cape, put it on and headed south.

Its a long way before me was what I thought of before I saw small gray

object fly in my direction from the village. It was a pigeon, used by Yakufe

family to send information safely and at long distances.

A pigeon with Yakufe crest symbol on the back and small piece of paperpinned down to its leg landed on my shoulder.

But he flew back immediately when I unhooked the note.

I unrolled and read it:

To Akh Dhamm. Important notification from The Council and Yakufe family.

Megmi Yakufe, daughter of late General Yakufe, let his spirit rest in peace and

guide us through difficulties, left the Great City of Chronostary and is now

following after you. You are forbidden from contacting her unless she confrontsyou first. Do not let her die nor kill. Shes not part of the ADAM test and is

forbidden from taking part in it. Be well and keep your mind unclouded.

Blasted woman, what have she thought? Doing such stupid thing right after

losing her father.

I heard some noise on the north, she mustve been tracking me all night.I snapped fingers and inflamed campfire I had put down earlier. I looked at the

message last time and threw it into the fire.Do not let her die nor kill. I said silently and gritted the campfire with earth.

I thought It will be very troublesome year and rushed south as rising sun

warmed skin on my face.

***Meg was tired and hungry when shortly after dawn she found dying down

campfire left by Dhamm.

Damn it, I need to rest for a bit or I wont be able to catch up to him anytime

soon she sat on the wooden pale and took bottle of water out of her bag, a lotsmaller in comparison with the Akhs one.

After a short nap, around the noon, Meg gathered her things and followedAkhs trace she picked up couple of meters south.

At the end of the day she found herself nice cave near the river. She fell asleep

very fast, unused to daylong travels.

(end of part 1)

32of 84

Fortunately I think I can fulfill first Trials condition now. And I have to do it

before Meg reach the mountain.

I started jumping south-west, to get as far from Meg as possible. She could find

my trace back in two days top if only I left her the track to follow.

In minutes I reached the mountain, tall as if there were gates to heaven on thetop. I started climbing.

When I stayed in the cottage for a week to let Meg catch up on me, I meditated

long days and nights. As Meg was getting closer, I could hear the female voice

clearer and louder. And on the last night before Meg found my hideout I heard the

woman saying this:I know you. You should know me, but you rejected me from your memory. I

helped you countless times without a word. Now its time for you to help me

reach you. You will find me and the answer youre looking for on top of the

highest mountain before you. Go, my boy, go up and play with me.

It started getting dark before I even climbed one third of the mountain. It

mustve been at least 1500 miles high.

When moon passed the mountains and showed up on the west again I decidedto make short break. I had to replenish energy and hydrate myself to keep up

climbing for next twenty hours.

Before I noticed I fell asleep. I woke up long after dawn, sun was high enough

to make mountains a decent shadow. I drank some water and restarted climbing.

When I passed half way to the top I looked down to where Meg should be. I sawsmall smoke below the neighbor mountain and smiled.

She is doing just fine. Good. I can focus on the training nowI climbed constantly for the rest of the afternoon and half of the night. I felt

like I was getting closer to the stars. Same stars I used to visit before and after

Academy. Same stars that were being destroyed by Callyps army while I could

do nothing to blow the whistle on it.

When moon set down and sky started to enlighten I finally reached the top of

the mountains. There was something I wasnt expecting. Two columns of giant

statues representing Yakufes predecessors. Each and every one of them was able

to fully understand and control at least 5 elements. At the end there was empty

platform with Generals name on it.When I came closer to it stones started to gather on it, forming something

resembling a person. When I touched the stones wind had blown from below the

platform and threw stones high up in the sky. The stones were whirling in the sky

for couple of seconds when finally formed male figure. Huge stone statue of

General Gamidio Yakufe fell down like a feather and landed safely on the

platform.Welcome, Akh Dhamm I heard womans voice again, but not from inside of

my head, this time from behind me.

I turned around and saw a female figure made of whirling on the wind leafsand twigs. I never saw such beautiful thing in my entire life. Not on my home

Eighth Chant:

Anima Dicionis Absentia Manere.

Why wont you let the girl know where you are?Shes not suppose to take part in this test anyway, right?

So leaving her down in the forest all by herself is such a better idea?

What do you know. And why do you care anyway? Arent you just

personified wind element?Oh, my dead Akh, indeed am. But Im also part of you now and I know what

do you think about.

Then stop it and get out of my head this instant.

Okay, okay. But I really think you should let her come up here. Especially

since you mastered my element already.Thats right. In only three short days I was able to finish my first trial Inner

Voice. I communicated with my most basic element and mastered its full power.

So, what is the second trial? I asked and stood up after 3 days long sitting

pose meditation. Council said that second trial will appear when I finish first,

so

All my bones were frozen stiff from not moving, and I was hungry like lonewolf exiled from his pack.

Look around. What do you see?

Not without pain of neck I turned my head both sides as ordered. I saw nothing.Thick grey mist covered everything in range greater than 5 cm from my face. I

couldnt even see my hand reached out in front of me.

I see nothing.So what do you feel?

Feel? I asked with consternation in my voice.

Which elements?

I felt peace and calm. Deep, freezing cold air with every breath. Nothing else.

Well? Which ones?

Air of course.

And what else?

Nothing. Only cold air.

So let me help you. You dont feel nothing you feel your second element.

Do you know what mist really is?

Mist?

Mist. Its supposed to be small water drops suspended in the air. But what does

it Wait. Water. Thats it! Its form just misled me and disturbed my sensing

abilities.

Water I whispered and smiled I can see AND feel water.

Good. Now that you know the route, you must follow it on your own.How is this trial called?


35/84


35of 84

You tell me. Its your road after all.

Her voice started to slowly fade away in my head.

Words came out of my mouth on their own accord, like they were programmed.

Second Trial, The Lost Surrounding.

Good bye then, Akh. Good luck with that man. Hes not playing as nicely asme and sometimes his real pain in the

I lost her voice completely. Few seconds after that I noticed it wasnt the only

thing I was losing. Everything around me started to fade to black. I already

couldnt see my own palm to begin with, so I started turning around in panic. I

noticed mans figure right before I lost my vision completely.Hello there. deep male voice rushed through my ears to my head. If you

want to see me, and get your sight back, you must call me out by my name. But

the only clue you can get is written on me.

Wh-who are you?

Oh, how rude of you. You came here to take a test and you dont even know

who are the examiners? What kind of student are you?

I stood silently and firmly, without moving a muscle while male voicecontinued his vocal assault.

Where is the Oldman G anyway? I cant sense him anywhere. And whore

you exactly? I thought young Rucci was supposed to be next in the line after his

father

The voice became louder and more violently pierced through my head. I sensedsomeone behind me and I got hit by huge mass of water right in my face. It was

like someone had threw at me whole bucket of ice cold water.I asked you a question boy. Speak at once or the consequences of your silence

will be unpleasant.

I-Im Akh, Akh Dhamm. General Gamidio Yakufe passed not long ago, and

his son, Rucchius died during this test. But it was years ago, back on our old

home planet.

What? Old man G died? How? No, wait, no need for words. Just think about

his death and spit forward.

The thing is, I couldnt remember that fight well after leaving the Chronostary

City, but now I could imagine the battle General had with Commander Callypslike it happened just a few minutes ago.

I spit forward, just like the voice asked.

Hmm This Callyps guy. Hes not Ellementall is he? He looks similar, but

hes not from our reality. Even though he just mastered single element, and the

forbidden one, he was able to end Old man G in a split of a second.

After short silence the voice burst with laughter.All right kiddo, I see you need to learn a lot fast, so let me end this childs

play right now.

My vision started to return slowly and it looked like the mist was starting tofall down too.

As you might notice in a second, I am the Water Guide Chant. I am activated

here by Trial name said out loud, but no one can see me until my real name, the

chant, is said. As the successor you must have inner knowledge about all the

Guides so just concentrate, drink some of the water from mist and tell the chant.

Telling from your current level, Im your second element. How lucky. I couldeasily come out after Lady Shukujo.

I couldnt understand much of his trash talk, but I got at least what I had to do.

While he was still explaining something, I took some of water from mist lying on

the ground and drank it.

I never had such a cold liquor in my life.So, the basic is to make me visible to you. Then we start mastering water

element. When we finish we have to bring that hot babe from below up here. You

might not know it yet, but shes integral part of the test. And I sense she is Old

man Gs daughter. Neat, boy, first league.

I only reacted at his words about Meg below the mountains. What did he mean

by her being integral part of the test?

I can think about this later was what I thought.I had to focus on this guy fornow.

When I was going for another sip of the misty water my hands stopped and I

sat heavily on the ground.

Huh? You okay kiddo? Looking kinda pale you know

Water Element. Chant#7. Suijin.

part 2:

Dammit. Where are you Dhamm.

Meg sat on the rock near the straight vertical wall at the foot of sky-high

mountains. She took out her bota bag and drank last drops of fresh water. Shestired of wandering around this area for so long now. All Akhs traces disappeared

after the huge storm last week. But he definitely didnt turned back, nor any other

side. There were two options considered possible by Meg. One is that hes long

gone somewhere and misled her here on purpose. The other one is that he went

through mountains, which is more possible. But to do that, one must climb to the

top or find an underground passage. And thats what she has been doing for last

whole 2 weeks. But she never found any sign of hidden.

And if he went up there, was it him who caused so much weathe r disturbance

for last two weeks? First unbelievably strong foehn wind coming down from themountains, then this ridiculous rain for two whole days. Next was huge storm

with lightning bolts and thunders. And this week there were earthquakes and

avalanches of rocks, and now extreme heat for five days. There was only one

peaceful day, after the avalanche. What the hell caused it all. If it was Dhamm,Im gonna kill him for leaving me here.

She looked up at the clear sky and sun hidden partially behind the mountains,

when out of the blue something small started to getting close to her from up

above. It looked like something was falling but it moved too fast for free fall and

accelerated every now and then.

Glowing in all tones of red, orange and yellow, a female figure landed beforeMeg.

Whore you?

You must be the gal. You must come with me. I can see your element is fire.

Your strength is required now.

What? What do you mean? confused, Meg stood up and reached to her bagfor some weapon.

No time to explain. The boys live is at stake.

The woman dematerialized and inflamed behind the shocked Meg.

She grabbed her and jumped with tremendous speed back up on the mountain.Where are you taking me? Meg asked when flamed woman accelerated on

pendent from the mountain rock fragment.I said no time to explain. When the Trial ends he eventually might tell you.

You should feel lucky you can see me right on. You really are Dios kid.

In few seconds both girls reached the top of the mountains. The temperature

here resembled of young star temperature. In the middle of circle of fire and

flames of different colors and strengths sat hooded person.Now go and help him said the flame woman who brought Meg.

And better do it fast, I cant keephim stable with my sis alone.

Meg turned around and saw a second person covered with flames. Young

woman stood firmly with her hands entwined and her eyes closed. She was

sucking the flames coming from below the person sitting in the center of the

square.

Come on, hurry up!At least if you dont want the boy to die here like the lastone.

Meg kneeled on one knee, touched the burnt ground and whispered few fire

chants. Flames around the hooded man decreased significantly, but only for a few

seconds.

Meg looked at the boy.Akh?

The hood started to burn down and partially scorched skin barely resembled

true face of Akh Dhamm. But she knew it was him.

She rushed through flames but couldnt get close enough to stop the flames

completely. The flames created some kind of small dome above Akh. The only

way to reach him now was her voice.

Akh!! Do you hear me, Akh! But her voice was too soft and delicate to getthrough the wall of fire.

Maybe we can help. Say our names and we can maximize your voice with

our flames.

What are your names then?

Ignorant girl, we cant say them ourselves, were not Ellementalls Well notanymore

Sis! Stop this chit chat and help me, were losing him!Meg, right? taller sister rushed to the opposite part of the square than the

younger sister was in. We cant tell you our names, but since you see us it means

you know us. We are Flame Guides.

Meg sat on the ground with fearful face.

Flame Guides? So hes taking ADAM test? The one in which my brother

died? Its impossible. Impossible.

But she stopped. She looked at Akh. Not moving so far young lad turned his

head her way, looked at her with pupil-less eyes with fire covered irises and

smiled. He moved his mouth but no voice could leave the flame dome coveringhim.

Meg smiled and single tear ran down her cheek and dropped to the ground.

Flame Element. Chant#15. Kaen Shimai.

The two flame sisters were sucked inside Meg in single breath in.

Much stronger and metallic voice came out of her mouth, but still sounded as

delicate as ever.Akh Dhamm! Stop this at once! You must control your inner flame!

No reaction. No answer.

How many Trials have he completed? she askedflame sisters inside her head.Its his sixth one in only two weeks. He wastraining with almost no rest.


39/84


39of 84

Which one left?

Ithink Metal. Why? Is it that important?

Yes. He cant die of flames now. He completed wood and air which make

flame stronger but he finished water and ground as well. My brother on the other

hand was unlucky enough to have fire as his second element.Akh! Listen to me! You must remember what Water Guide told you! What

did he told you?! AKH!!

***But I couldnt hear her anymore. I felt my body burning but I couldnt move a

muscle, overwhelmed by power of flame induced by wind with every breath and

continuously bursting due to the wood element I mastered just before this trial.

Princess of Emotions

At least I knew what the Trial title meant.What did Suijin said?

The only way to master water perfectly is to balance every emotion with the

opposite one. If you feel rage, forcefully clear the clouds with calm. If you feel

too peaceful and easygoing, remember the things that make you mad and getangry. Only then water will flow through your body and mind freely.

Okay. What did I feel? At first, when I unleashed the flames I felt fear and

uneasiness. Then in time as I started to lose control over it and its strength

whelmed me completely I felt sadness and loneliness because I knew my end was

near.

So then, following Suijins guidance, I must balance my emotions and bringforth the water to put the flames down.

Fear. When was the last time I felt courage? When I left the city? No. When I

saw Callyps fight with General? No.

I knew from the start. I looked at Meg. She mustve taken a few steps backas

my flames grew even bigger.It was when I got the note from Yakufe mansion. I felt the courage to keep up

and not to let them down. Not to let HER die.

The flames decreased a little.

Now uneasiness. How should I counter that? Probably the best would bereadiness. I was ready to take over the flames and take the responsibility for

everything my flame had caused. Any kind of harm, I was prepared for them.The flames diminished once again. Meg got closer and flame sisters left her

when she entered the square.

Sadness. I tried to remember the last time I was sad and what made me lose all

the sadness at once.

It was the day my parents died, when I was 7. One of the teachers fromacademy came and helped me. It was Lord Kazaeros younger brother. He invited

me to the academy and told me theres no need to be sad because of my parentsdeath. He told me they united with all elements and by controlling them

I could feel their presence all the time.

I smiled.

The only flames that left were the one covering me and creating small circle

around me. I stood up. Meg came closer but I stopped her by raising hand with

open palm right in front of her.Loneliness. There was no such feeling anymore. I turned her way, flames

disappeared completely. I smiled and opened my eyes. I saw everything in

reddish colors except for Meg. She was purely white.

Meg.

Then she run to me, hugged me and looked me deep into my still blazing,pupil-less eyes.

Ninth Chant:

At Fall of the Horizon

Sir! Mission accomplished!Any survivors?

No sir, not a single soul left alive.

Just as planned. Fall the fleet back to next system.

And the Mother?Stay here to finish them. Welljoin you shortly captain.

Understood sir. Good luck sir.

I need no luck. I have time.

Of course sir. See you later then.

Yea, yea, dont gonice on me now. To the starsand behind them, sir.Every commanding officer left the bridge leaving Commander alone with his

crew. In few minutes whole fleet, ship after ship, entered worm-tunnels and left

the HaScor System. Huge battle ship half as big as the planet which it flew

around was all thats left.

Commander stood up from his chair and walked to the flahric cannon controls.Important not, flahric cannon is an advanced weaponry specially developed to use

external elements as its own long range massive projectiles.

Is the fleet out of range?Yessir, captainLelaki confirmed it just now.

Get ready for the Slowed Mode.

Few officers in external commandment division rushed to graviton room.Ready to enter the SM, sir.

We have one shot. Dont miss it. Commander put his hands inside the holes

of flahric cannon control panel. Entering SM, fireboys!

Dark green light covered the battleship and small blue spherical object slowly

got closer to the gray, lifeless planet. The moment the blue sphere hit the

atmosphere, the ball enlarged thousand times, covering the planet, and continued

to grow.

Sir, what now? Retreat?

FULL SPEED! Enter the worm-tunnel! The Slowed Mode wont last much

longer!

Engaging the dematerialization sequences. Entering worm tunnel in Slowed

Mode in 3, 2... Worm tunnel open.

Fall Back! Ill try to slow time more. We mustnt be caught in the flahric blast

at all costs!

As the huge blue blast was closing in, the Mother ship was sucked inside the

tunnel. After few seconds they passed the hyper-time zone and left the passage tojoin in the rest of the fleet.

When they stopped Commander ordered to turn the ship around and whole

crew watched bright blue light eating planets from neighbor system.

The light disappeared, the space became empty with red toned dust spreading in

the wide nothingness.

Sir! This was the last one!I know And theres stillno sign of Raida or her ship.

Sir, captain Lelaki want to speak with you. He says its urgent.

Bring him to my quarter.

Yes sir!

Callyps took down his hood and mussed up his long past shoulders hair.Destination Therra. I dont want to see that filthy blue globe bytomorrow so

no need to hurry.

Yesir!

And Callyps left the bridge and betook to his chamber. He sat on the bed and

took of his mask.

Where are you? he started muttering to himself and leant his back against the

wallKnocking on the metal doors woke him up from the nap few minutes later.

Sir. Its captain Lelaki. Please allow me to enter. slightly muted male voice

came from behind the double layered metal covered crimson doors.

Permission granted, Buaya. Come on in. without moving a muscle Callyps

lied still.Tall young looking man, not older than Callyps himself, entered dark chamber

with no lights. Without a word sat on the chair next to black wooden desk full ofpapers piled in chaotic order. He took off his hood and sighted unnoticeably.

So, my friend, what do you have for me today that you had to see me face to

face?

Its bad. Really bad. Looks like we found the technomian ship nearby solar

system.

Crew?

None.

Monitoring working?

Yes, and... Lelaki paused for a
