After narrowly escaping the previous area, Able was leading us to some other place. There were still dozens of security golems all over the place. Though we weren't heading towards the place where we thought we were supposed to head to. Instead, Able took a literal different direction. A direction away where the security golems were guarding. What the hell was happening?
Arc: Hey, Able! Where are we going? Shouldn't we be going back to the main area? This is the place where Mother should be right?
Able: Of course not? Mother isn't a terrible person to hold security like that.
Nex: What?
Able: Mother is a peaceful person, she lives far away from this mess.
Arc: So what we did was for nothing? We split up the team…
Nex: We should head back and try to find them!
Arc: No, the mission directive is first. We need to find this so-called Mother. Terra and Nitra can take care of themselves. If they do come back then they'll have much information for us to use. It'll be a complete waste to look for them.
Nex: Are you sure?! This feels… Dangerous!
Arc: Not as dangerous as putting ourselves in the midst of a mechanical swarm that wants to put new orfices on us.
Nex: Fine… But know, I want to save them on any chance I get.
Arc: Always playing the hero huh.
I patted his head then continued to the trail. The smell of Foxphite was starting to get on my nerves as we kept walking through the slums of Talos. Or at least that's what Able called them. These were the nastiest of the areas that it came across during its "residence" here. This was the area filled with malfunctioning golems that didn't have a place in the center Talos anymore. It was a bit strange to see some golems that didn't even have hands in the middle of the streets deactivated. Some didn't even have heads! This place felt like a real graveyard compared to that area we've been to. Nex held my arm closely, his face filled with anxiety. I wouldn't blame him for being scared at the moment. It was like some kind of dystopia. The buildings were just around to keep these golems away from crowding the streets. Despite the structures saying things like "restaurant" or "arcades", they were just deserted and abandoned. Golems were inside those buildings like exhibits. Some even still hold their tools in their hands. Able casually walked past some of the golems like he knew them, waiving to them even. I could tell that Mother had abandoned this place a long time ago. Not even an ounce of maintenance was kept. The place was so dark that we had to switch on our contacts again.
Able: We're almost there friends! Just a few more minutes.
Nex: This place is disgusting. Nothing's being maintained anymore in this area anymore. Even the golems aren't active anymore. This place is dead.
Able: This used to be the first town of Talos!
Arc: That's a bit hard to believe.
Able: Believe it! This place was fun! This was also where I used to work as a waiter!
Nex: How many jobs do you even have?
Able: I don't remember! I keep getting fired! But having jobs is fun!
Arc: I figured…
Nex: How long are we going to keep walking on the ground? I'm not sure how I feel with all these golems around.
Arc: My watch didn't sense any active golems in the area, we should be fine. If something goes wrong just port us back to the garage. I'll be sure not to strain you this time.
Nex: It's fine! I'm just glad I could be of help. Though I think I could be even more useful if I could somehow make my limit higher!
Arc: You seem more determined than usual.
Nex: I just want to be more useful…
I patted his head and it seemed to increase his mood a little better. Before we knew it, we passed some relics of the old world. The way they used to order things and even the way they used to enjoy their free time. Able looked over this part of the world like some kind of home. If only I could do the same at the Platform. There were even novelty stores that we'd seen from different planets but they were selling some pretty odd items.
Able: Do you see anything you like, friend?
Arc: Not really… I'm just curious about a few things.
Nex: What could it be this time?
Arc: Nothing, it's just that most of these things I could remember reading from history books.
Nex: So what then?
Arc: But I've never seen these things before. These stores are selling memorabilia that I can't even recognize.
Nex: You can't expect to remember everything, Arc. You're probably just have a lapse of forgetfulness like me.
Able: Even I forget things, friend.
Nex: What!? No, that's impossible. You're a golem.
Able: That's right! I am a golem! Hooray!
Nex: Piece of junk.
Arc: I'm just unsure is all. I thought I read everything I could about the old world. About Polarity, the five wars, and the "mushroom".
Able: Interesting stories, friend. Tell me about it sometime.
Arc: What are you talking about? Golems were used in the events of those three. In actuality, you should know about it the most because golems usually have a shared info about the past.
Able: I'm not sure what you're talking about, friend.
Nex; Useless piece of scraps…
Able: Indeed, I am scraps!
Arc: Then what do you remember?
Able: Talos, Plaux, and Earth!
Arc: That's impossible. You should've known about Polarity. Every planet out there knows about it!
Nex: It's just common sense at this point, not even history.
Able: Is Polarity a location or an action?
Arc: You actually don't know? That's so strange. What about the things I've just said? What do you remember, Able?
Able: The three world wars, a mission, a race against time, and hope.
Nex: Hope?
Able: Hope that humanity will prosper!
Arc: But we're part of humanity! How could you not know a thing? How could you know only the three wars and not five but not also know about Polarity?
Able: I don't know, friend. But Earth only had three wars, then we got sent here to create a settlement.
Nex: What the heck is this thing talking about?
Arc: I don't know but I want answers from Mother. Whoever it is, probably has the answers about this Earth and its inhabitants. From what we know, there's only one place that's had humans.
After a couple more minutes, we arrived at an abandoned subway tunnel. This place definitely looked like something from the old world. There was a map of the system too but it was hard to read. The sign was smudged by some oil and bits of Foxphite crystals. It was too muddy to make out anything no matter how hard I tried reading.
Able flashed a beam of light like a torch then proceeded down the stairs. Walking down, I couldn't help feeling nervous too. Personally, going down a hole was never my strong suit but someone had to be strong. Nex held on tighter to my arm despite this not being our first time going through these kinds of things. The walls were cold instead of the usual mechanical warmth from the constant Talos engines. A completely abandoned portion of Talos. We kept continuing down until we saw what seemed to be a booth of things. It looked like a barricade except it didn't have anyone guarding it. The thing was only up to our waist. What a strange way to keep people at bay. They should've used higher walls! Able jumped right over ignoring everything while we did the same. Eventually we saw the railway tracks going in a certain direction.
Nex: Where does this go?
Able: Directly to the Mother's library!
Nex: But we were just there. And we kind of blew it up!
Able: That's not where Mother does her operations. That's a library for the citizens of Talos.
Arc: Wait, that's impossible!
Able: There's only one library, friend!
Arc: We were just there. That's where I got the book.
Able: That's just a front obviously. Mother likes to be alone.
Arc: Now I feel completely tricked.
Able: Of course, friend! Mother is smart.
Nex: I checked the surrounding area. There wasn't anything that would've led here. Knowing this was impossible.
Arc: Now that I think about it. How were we discovered by the security golems in the library?
Nex: We made a lot of noise didn't we?
Arc: Yeah but that would've meant a golem would've heard us but there wasn't any within the area. The golems just appeared out of nowhere.
Nex: That's not right huh...
Able: Though I presume that's the work of someone else. Mother is not the only one in charge of the city. Mother is only in charge of the city as a whole rather than what is happening on the ground. There's only one way into the library and this is the one.
Arc: That means we've sent Terra and Nitra on a wild goose chase. They're chasing the other person. That school did give us an idea on who it was, another person in Talos huh.
Able: A school! I used to be a teacher too!
Nex: What did you teach?
Able: Driving!
Arc: So you were an instructor. Not a teacher.
Able: I was both!
Arc: Now the girls are missing and we don't have a clue on where they could be.
Nex: I'm sure we'll find them. This isn't the first time that one of us would be missing from a mission.
Arc: It's still distressing when one of us does though.
Nex: Have some faith in your team Arc.
Arc: I'm trying…
Before we could trek any further, a rumbling came from the train tracks! Able looked a bit distressed as it made some tiny steps backwards. Nex and I got ready for the next thorn in the journey. I modded our boots with air seals to make sure that we had some ability while Able still looked at the ominous dark path ahead. This tunnel didn't have anything besides the tracks ahead. Yet, something was guarding the place huh. The rocky walls of the tunnel started to rumble signifying that something was indeed on the other side, and it saw us.
Nex: Is it a guardian!?
Arc: Guardians are way too huge to be left inside a tunnel. Able? Any ideas?
Able: It could be the head of security.
Arc: Yeah but why does it sound so big?
Able: That's because it is big, friend. My calculations have already decided on a fight, friends.
Arc: That doesn't sound good.
Nex: Come on, Arc. We can do this. I'm here to back you up.
Arc: If it's anything like a guardian then we might have to retreat.
Nex: But we're so close now!
Able: I'm here too, friend.
Arc: Damn it, I didn't want to fight.
A sudden light came out of the tunnel at a quick pace and appeared right in front of us. This was the golem guarding the entrance to Mother huh. Whoever this person is, it better be super important to have something this big to guard him or her. This mechanical monstrosity had three pronged fingers made out of construction materials, a singular eye similar to the guardians above, and a sturdy green metal exoskeleton. It's insides were clearly seen to be gears moving about like an old mechanical engine from the days of old. The thing almost seemed like breathing with it's exhausts coming out of its two holes from its face. It could barely move as the tunnel was pretty small. Nex fell back as he should from these battles while Able brought his knuckles up. What the hell? Can Able fight?
Able: Let's get this sucker, friend!
However, right as he said that, the security golem smacked him right on to the wall with a heavy back hand. With a giant slam, rubble from the crater that Able created scattered all over me. Looks like he can fight, just not these kinds of fights.
Nex: Are we really going to win this?
Arc: I ask myself that everytime.
My blood started to boil, adrenaline starting to enter my system, the possibility of death. All of it were…
Arc: Die...
I slammed my hands on the ground and surged all my magic through my hands. That electric feeling coursing through my body, I can't get enough of it! The ground started to quake as stone pillars started to erupt from the ground to smash the bot left and right. Though it only made it finally notice me as an enemy. It's engines started to rattle as its screws started to rattle from the damage. In quick succession, it threw a series of grabs from its elongating arms. All I could do was dodge while touching the ground that I've been dashing on. There was no way projectiles would work on it because of its natural exoskeleton. I've seen these types of enemies before.
Eventually, it's arms couldn't extend any further. My eyes surged once more, I held out my hands then crossed them with quite some effort. Stone walls came up from the dirt I've touched then slammed the golem's arm. It's eye began to go haywire from the missing load it's trying to process. Nex smiled as he watched me fighting this thing all alone. However, I didn't notice it but before I knew it, I got smashed by a part of the debris from the wall! My body slammed hard on the wall. I could feel myself losing focus…
Nex: Arc!
Arc: I got this… Don't try anything! Focus!
At that moment, it's arm was readying itself to swing again! I could barely feel my footing on the floor but I had to do something. I bit my lip then started to run on the walls, not looking back, I could hear its hand stretching to try and hit me! From the side of the wall to the ceiling, I kept running! Reaching the ground again, I stopped right behind it's back. Its eye looking clearly at me. My vision was going bad, this thing started to appear in doubles. However, I didn't need to know if it was real or not. I just knew that it was in front of me. Its arm readied to try another hit but without warning, its other arm swung too! Before I realized it, Able was in front of me tanking the hit! Able looked like the vanguard of the team now.
Arc: GET OUT OF THE WAY, NEX!
Without any other delay, my eyes began to surge with greater intensity! I jumped then thrusted my hands forward. Eat an air tunnel blast! In a quick second, all the seals I've placed on the ground activated in complete unison! The blast happened so fast the security guardian got blown away to bits with great force before the sound could process! When the sound did hit, it blew everyone on their butts! Nex's hair was pushed all the way back so it made me laugh a bit. His face grew a bit red as he tried to fix it. Able was the first to get back on its feet. It extended an arm and I took it without realizing. Guess it does have its uses huh.
The pain finally started to affect me but all I could do was continue on. Everyone got together back on their feet to see if we actually won. Looking at the scrapped remains, there wasn't anything left from the blast.
Nex: Geez, you really went at it huh.
Arc: It was pretty strong.
Nex: You didn't make it seem like it. You killed it in one hit.
Arc: In a real fight, one hit is what should take to finish the battle. Any longer and it would be problematic. Though we already know this.
Nex: Combat training always says that. But even so, you're still pretty impressive when it comes to fighting.
Able: Did I do good too, friend?
Nex: You did great! I thought you were a bit useless but you took that hit like a champ! You even protected Arc at the end!
Arc: Finally warming up to Able huh.
Nex: Shut up, what he did was pretty cool.
Arc: Even I have to admit that.
Nex: Woah! That's some great honor, Able. Arc doesn't usually think stuff is cool. He can be such a nerd sometimes.
Arc: Shut it, kid. Don't forget, I'm still the second in command. We're still on a mission.
Able: Hooray! I'm cool!
Arc: Let's just get going. I'll just walk off the pain, damn it. Ouch…
Nex: We need to rest up! We can't just move forward without someone that can fight. If only…
Arc: Right… I get it…
Able: It'll be alright if we move forward! Mother can take care of us.
Arc: What do you mean?! We just had to fight a guardian.
Able: That wasn't the one of mother's golems. It has a much more different structure and algorithm to it's schematics. It's a lot more primitive than the golems in the city.
Arc: So what is that supposed to mean?
Able: Someone is possibly making sure that we don't find Mother.
Arc: Not finding Mother?
Nex: It's that other person isn't it? That person that messed around in the city.
Able: Different person? I wonder who that is, friend!
Nex: I guess we'll have to ask Mother when we see her.
Able: Alright! Let's get going, friends!
Nex: Do we really want to trust that?
Arc: I have to. It saved my life. No other golem without a prime directive would do that. It's actually impossible.
Nex: Strange times huh.
Despite the pain, we walked for another couple hours until we reached a vaulted area. Though it didn't seem to be locked or have any sort of security anymore compared to the previous area. Able continued to lead us through the area. The door was made out of complete Dioxinite. This substance was pretty rare for a tropical planet. It's like living ice that regenerates itself. Usually this would be found in frozen moons that went off orbit of its planet. Exceptionally valuable for security companies. These things basically don't have any maintenance expenses. The only problem is transporting it alive. The ice could die and it would just turn into any other water out there. I touched the vault door and it was like it had a pulse in there. Strange how some materials work so uniquely. Able moved forward pushing the door effortlessly, ushering us into the unknown.
As we passed through the door, the floorings changed! Even the smell completely changed, there wasn't a scent of anything remotely Talos. The walls were lined with books, all dusted and completed. Endless shelves that didn't seem to have a sort of end. Mother surely loves to read or collect if that were the case. Able continued on while Nex threw out a seal near the Dioxite door. The ceilings were high which made me feel a bit smaller than usual. Chandelier crystals fill the room with a yellowish light. I haven't felt a rugged floor in a while too.
This was a complete landscape change for me, I couldn't keep my mouth closed. Everything about this place reminded me of what a palace would look like. No, perhaps a great library. There were corners and other hallways depending on the section, everything felt like a maze in here. Each genre had a different colored rug so that helped me figure things out. All of this was hidden right under Talos. As we kept moving, a tremor suddenly started to happen. I composed my footing while Nex grabbed my shirt! Able just continued on walking.
Able: Tremors are common down here! The construction of Talos plus the movement of the Tortoise plates make it inevitable. Watch your balance, friend.
Arc: This place is amazing. It's nothing like the library upstairs.
Able: This was where I worked! It brings back so many fun memories!
Arc: What with the library upstairs then?
Able: That's where mother throws out the books she doesn't like!
Arc: Then what about Earth?!
Able: I'm not sure, friend. Mother likes questions! Ask her when you see her!
Nex: What is Mother like?
Able: She's unique!
Nex: How would you describe a unique golem Arc?
Arc: Imagination parameters like artist golems? Or maybe taste modifiers like chef golems?
Nex: There's such a thing!?
Arc: Just kidding.
Nex: Hey!
Able: I wouldn't know about those but Mother is human just like you!
Arc & Nex: WHAT?!
Able: Shhh friends! This is a library! Hooray! I'm doing my job!
Arc: Wait! I thought Mother was a head golem or some kind of local of the area.
Able: She's human! You can even be friends!
Nex: Impossible… A human outside the platform… Unheard of actually.
Arc: We might need to port out sooner than we thought.
Nex: Should we send our locations?
Arc: We should but I don't want to make the girls rush into their deaths just in case. We can't cancel a signal once we shoot it out. If we fall into a trap then we'll send an SOS. But if things go wrong, just leave me. Find Terra and Nitra.
My eyes narrowed down to everywhere in the room. This was no time for my guard to be lowered anymore than it has been. Nex held onto my arm fearing the worst but we just had to keep moving down this library. Minutes later, Able stopped in front of a door. This time it was made out of red colored wood. It didn't seem to like the other strange things we've seen so far. The door was just normal! Able didn't seem to want to move forward.
Arc: Aren't you going in first?
Able: Mother doesn't want golems in her study. She says it bothers her.
Arc: But doesn't she know you the most?
Able: Maybe! I've only seen her when she's outside nowadays. She does get lonely, so do your best to be friends with her!
With a deep breath, I grabbed the doorknob. From here, I could hear some music behind the door. That was something quite rare for me to hear. They don't usually allow that kind of thing on the Platform. I'd hear them from different planets. Yet, this one is oddly appealing. It sounded like it was played from an instrument with strings. The voice was also human. A part of me was scared to know more about humans because of how much censorship it had. Yet, I feel drawn to learning more.
Did I like the feeling of danger too much? Humans are more than just killers right? For rotations, we've lived our lives like some kind of scoundrel wherever we went. No matter what planet we came across, everyone would fear us. They were scared of what we could do. We weren't welcomed anywhere. No place for humans to live but on the platform. I'm just a soldier. For the sake of humanity, stop joking around. We're nothing but killers! Doing nothing but dirty work just to survive another rotation. Nex grabbed the doorknob too.
Nex: Are you okay? You're trembling…
Arc: I'm fine… It's just that a human is outside the Platform. Don't you know what that means? A human surviving outside. It could also mean that it could be a dangerous fugitive or someone that went AWOL. I'm a bit uncertain moving forward.
Nex: I'm not sure either… I'm sorry, I can't say anything else.
Arc: It could also mean that we could have a chance to rebuild a home planet. A place for humans to live if the Platform fails. If this Mother is a human, then she must've managed to survive this long on her own. She built Talos.
Nex: We belong to the Platform, Arc. That's just how it works. There are no other humans besides us.
Arc: Don't you want to have a home planet? It'll never be like Polarity.
Nex: We're never going to have a planet to ourselves, Arc. Humans aren't built for it, that's why we've needed golems for the longest time.
Arc: But she survived without any kind of magic filtration.
Nex: She must be some kind of powerful magician that has filtration magic. We don't know a thing about this person.
Arc: I know. It's just a chance. A chance that we wouldn't have to do this anymore.
Nex: You already know what happens if we stop or when we quit Arc. There's nothing we can do about that. We can't go rogue either. They have trackers on us.
I bit my lip then turned the doorknob. What was behind that door was just another gigantic room. However, instead of a hallway it was a hexagon shaped room. It's walls once again were bookshelves with different colored book spines. All of them were paper books just like outside! The only thing that was out of the blue was the giant television screen monitoring Talos in the middle of the room. There was also a chair with a person's hands sticking out using the keyboard. That must've been her!
We slowly moved in the room without Able. The place even had a dining table filled with strange food. It looked like a burnt carcass of a bird and fresh fruit around it. I approached the middle of the room carefully to make sure we wouldn't shock them. However as I approached, the chair swung around revealing her! Indeed it was a woman! She was wearing a labcoat with what looked like a pencil skirt and a green shirt. Her hair was completely white but she looked like she was in her young adult life span. She adjusted her glasses on her nose then sized us up. The stare of her blue eyes felt like daggers. After a couple minutes, she crossed her long legs and placed her hand on her chin.
Mother: Am I going crazy? It's only been 17 years since my last contact with a human, this can't be real.. Maybe I should get some rest…
She turned her chair again as if we didn't even exist. Though I could confirm that it was indeed a human. I moved up closer to her chair making sure that my steps were much louder than before. What is strange is that I would've known if she was from the platform or not.
Arc: Ahem. Mother?
Mother: Huh!? HUH!? YOU'RE REAL! YOU'RE NOT JUST MY HALLUCINATIONS! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IN HERE!? WHAT'S HAPPENING!? WHAT!?
She jumped out of her chair! But from the looks of it, she must've jumped out of her skin too. Her complexion turned pale and legs were trembling by the computer desk. As I approached slowly, she just kept shaking even more. Definitely not the person I thought she would be.
Arc: Hi?
Mother: ...H...H… Hello? N… N... Nice to meEEt you… Eeep! I'm so sorry!
Nex: Uh?
Mother: I'm so so sorry, I haven't… spoken with another person in a while…
Nex: You've been here alone for 17 years alone?
Mother: Well… yes! My whole adult life technically but I was already beyond that before leaving. I've been basically just… Well... Here…
Arc: How did you get everything down here?
Mother: Golems duh! These things are easy to manipulate. Just type down an order on a master proxy and they do what you want.
Arc: Are you human?
Mother: What does it look like to you? Of course I'm human! My name's Eliza Yeok. I'm not quite sure how old I am now actually. But I feel forever 21!
Arc: You're definitely not what I imagined when Able kept mentioning Mother.
Eliza: Able?! You've found a golem named Able?! Where is he?
Arc: Able is a he?
Eliza: Of course Able is a he. The name Able is masculine. It means he can do anything!
Arc: He's right outside, he said that you didn't like it when golems entered this room.
Eliza: Oh geez, he still remembers that? I thought for sure he would've forgotten by now.
Nex: How long was it?
Eliza: 10 years maybe, give or take?
Nex: What!? That's way too long! He left 10 years ago!?
Eliza: Yeah, I was going through some stuff hehehe. Oh my! I forgot to ask for your names! It sure is a treat finally having some living breathing organisms that can speak my language.
Arc: I'm the 24th Arc and this is the 72nd Nex. He's a boy if you didn't notice.
Eliza: Oh I noticed. Why wouldn't he be a boy. He clearly is.
Nex: YES! I like this person already.
Eliza: How strange… Was I gone for so long that numbers are the new names?
Nex: People have been naming their children like that for a long time now actually. Or at least that's what the government does.
Arc: Back when we were kids we'd have a name but later you're designated a new one.
Eliza: I must've been gone for more than just quite some time then.
Arc: What part of the Platform are you from?
Eliza: Platform? What do you mean? Like a social Platform? I don't have any, I'm far too old to be on social media.
Nex: She doesn't even know the Platform? What about your magic affinity? You have one right? It must be pretty powerful! Like maybe something that has something to do with gravity.
Eliza: What are you two talking about? Magic? Platform? Magic doesn't exist. I've lived here for quite some time already. Though I'm originally from Earth obviously..
Arc & Nex: WHAT?!
Eliza: Please stop shouting! I know I said it's been a while since I've had company but I don't miss the shouting at all.
Arc: Our apologies but there's aberration here.
Eliza: What is it?
Arc: Magic does exist. And we've never heard of this Earth until a few days ago.
Nex: Earth is that dirt planet that you kept talking about right?
Eliza: Imposible... You're humans! They didn't change the name while I was gone did they? If they did then why would they do something stupid like that.
Eliza jumped to her footwear then raced towards one of the shelves. Her face was all in a panic while me and Nex were confused. We walked up to her to see what she was flipping over. Documents, star maps, and pieces of unknown wrappers were being flung across the place. Eventually she grabbed out a picture book from a cabinet nearby. I haven't seen a picture book since Modus. Those Icloids did love their pictures. She then ran back to her dining table, we followed her too to see what she was on about. Nex was just amused by it all.
Nex: She's really funny huh. I bet she's just hiding her magic power or something. No one can possibly survive Plaux's terrain without it.
Arc: I think we're about to get our answers.
Eliza: This! This right here! This planet! This is Earth!
She shoved us a picture of a green planet with a bit too much water on it. This was Earth? It looked like a terrible place to live in. Eliza's face was completely drenched in worry while me and Nex looked like she was going crazy. Maybe she was staying here for too long…
Eliza: You're telling me that you don't know this planet! This is where all the humans live! You're humans too right?
Arc: Yeah I'm human but all the humans belong to the Platform.
Nex: It's only common knowledge in the universe that humans are almost extinct and live on the Platform. Even citizens of Exal know about us and that place didn't even discover flight yet.
Eliza: There are other humans that have been living outside of Earth?! This is amazing! So all this time, we weren't just a coincidence! There were other humans out there too!
Arc: Wait, so there are humans where you live too? Are they almost extinct?
Eliza: No! Not at all! In fact, we are somewhat over populated on our planet. We were sent here to find a way to send people out into space! It takes time for us to travel to space.
Nex: This can't be true! Human numbers dwindled a long time ago because of a lack of a planet. We've only been expanding the Platform because we don't have a planet to live on! How is it that we couldn't find this place called Earth?
Eliza: How am I supposed to know?! I'm just looking at you two and it's amazing. I could almost wet myself from excitement!
Here we stood across from someone that felt like some kind of lunatic talking about this place we've never heard of. Nex was conversing to her about the many contradictions he's known but everything to me was blanked out. I couldn't hear a thing. All I could do was see this woman. I looked at her eyes and all I could see was the hope for our humanity.
Eliza: I can't wait to report this back to mission control!
Arc: How are you going to do that?
Eliza: I'm not sure yet. I'll figure something out.
Nex: Hey, Eliza. What kind of magic do you have?
Eliza: Are you serious?
Arc: I'm quite curious too on how you survived. What kind of magic did you use to survive?
Eliza: Uh? Rehydratable food and robotics? You guys look serious. Is this like a prank that your humans do?
Arc: We mean like this.
My eyes glowed and I produced a mini tornado that fixed everything that was cluttered. It was a big mess so I just wanted to clean this up. A few seconds later everything seemed to look all neat and tidy. As I relinquished my power, Eliza dropped on the ground with a hard thud! It looked like she fainted!
