"But I got the title first so I've won." Though she said that but her expression turns sour. "Stupid Keld!" --- Her early duty is to recognize and assist in surpressing the incumbent spread of Dybbuk. The first mission made her recognize her fears and the the very instinct she tends to take lightly - protect her dear little brother. "Merr!" She ran to him. "Even if you're embarassed I won't let go of your hand! No matter what." She grabbed his hand holding him tight. Both of them laughed at the sudden cheezy moment. --- Unrelated to her she thought, the politics of the adult had already caught up. Thus, began the spread of First Calamity in Astrabus. "Anan..."

She whispers to herself and the tears she tried to hold drops on Anan's face. --- She was separated a million lights away from her family and friends in the place called Earth. She needs to find her brother. Follow Jyuna's journey while she embarks on the adventure of gruesome war, horror, sadness, sometimes happy and most importantly, self discovery.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Jyuna

"The first scientifically induced human evolution was planet Jupiter..."

"Ma'am Keld is sleeping!" Jyuna made sure she sounded loud and clear.

Shocked from his name being called, he woke from his short nap. He always believe that he has hypnopedia, able to learn while sleeping but no one seems to believe him. Particularly his seat partner, Jyuna.

"Both of you... out, now!" Madam Roviera calmly instructed, half looking at them and half on the book she's holding. That look send shivers down their spine. Jyuna was appalled by the sudden change from the expected outcome.

"But Ma'am, Keld was..." Jyuna was going to defend herself. Meanwhile Keld is still trying to grasp the situation still half asleep but he stood up ready to go out of the class as instructed.

"No buts, you have interrupted my class. I'll deal with both of you." It sounded like Madam's last warning.

Both children walk out the class and stood beside the classroom then Madam added "Do a 5 minute squat childrens." which made Jyuna swear she would never throw anyone under the bus especially around Madam Roziera.

She looked to her side and saw Keld yawning while doing something that looks like squat. He saw her looking at him and smirked at her. Instantly he was smacked which made a loud sound.

"Jyuna, another 5 minutes." She immediately start her squat with a grunt. Why of all days, when Keld does it, he never gets into trouble but when she decided to avenge herself, this happen? She was just annoyed by the sound Keld made when he was napping beside her. Jyuna wanted to enjoy today's topic.

'Science' and 'History' has always been her subject of interest. Today they will be walking through how Human from earth evolve to fit the environment of another planet. They are in the 5th century from the first scientifically induced human evolution attempt which now have led them to a planet called Ginstrakatur.

The ancient humans have been actively revolutionazing their survival and civilizations on planet Ginstrakatur. Thus, forming many named lands and one of them is Astrabus. This land in particular is the only one that allow safe travel from and to Earth. The nature of other land pose more risk and filled with the unkown which made Astrabus the only land that could connect with Earth.

The civilization in Ginstrakatur call themselves as Manna which originated from an ancient language on Earth. About 2 centuries ago, Earth and Astrabus had lost connection. Those who travelled from and did not go back had to stay and live on Astrabus. A pair of them was Jyuna's great grandparents on her mother side.

No one really understood the situation. Some says it was due to natural phenomenon that disconnected them. Some even speculated that Earth was probably facing a big war. Jyuna did not believe it because Earth have 'Unions' which they were proud of. To her 'Unions' sounded like peace 'ticket' unlike here where its survival for the fittest relying solely on their luck of being born in this part of planet and having strong Kehla.

"Im hungry" Keld broke their silence

"Shut up."

"I'll get Ladza with some Chiz." He decided the conversation is still on going. Ladza is their staple food that looks like mashed potatoes but have a texture of sticky rice and tastes sweet and sour. Thats what some of the 'Rangers' from earth would describe to her. Chiz is basically cheese but the ingredient produced by a totally different species with the same nature as cow.

"Whatever Keld." She refuse to hop in the conversation.

"I brought extra sasta." He tried again. Jyuna's face distorted into a puffy sulky face trying to fight the urge to respond to his temptation but fail in the end.

"How many?" Her question and reaction made him smile.

"Enough." Both of them are still doing the obligated squat.

"For Merr as well?" She turns to him.

"For all of us, even Anan." He turns to her and gave a wink. His behavior made her curious instead.

"What's up?" She ask still looking at him.

"Inara..." He didn't finish his sentence but his face turns red. For some odd reason his reaction twisted some of her internal organs. Reflectively, she kicked his side hips. "What was that for?!" He immediately stopped his squat and faced her blank expression while she is still squatting.

"Both of you really need to be punished more." Madam Roziera was already standing behind them with folded arms. Black aura seems to be floating around her. "Come with me, both of you." she orders.

'Uh oh' Jyuna and Keld synchronized their worry.
