Miller was now getting hungrier by the second, and he had refused to eat any food given to him. The food that was given to the prisoners were not appealing to him.
The rocky prison doors opened again, and James/Edmund, the officer, and Getrax came in. Immediately they entered Getrax went to his dark secluded area, Getrax could feel that most aliens were no longer scared of him anymore.
James and the officer went to meet Miller. Miller was glad to see them alive as a smile was showing clearly on his face.
Both of them sat close to Miller and did not say a word, Miller was at the center with James by right and the Officer by his left.
"Are you not hungry" The officer asked Miller trying to break the akward silence. Miller had only been smiling and looking at them. Miller was actually thinking of the prophecy and how it could maybe relate to James.
"No, I haven't, and besides, there is no human food on this planet that we can eat". Miller replied to the officer.
"I have a food pill" the officer said to Miller.
A food pill was something that humans ate whenever they went to another planet or a strange planet. it contained all the necessary ingredients a person needed to survive in life except for water. The officer had taken one food pill when Miller left before the fight, and as for James he did not even feel hungry.
After taking the pill from the officer, Miller immediately swallowed it. The officer also gave him water. The officer gave him water from his suit. His suit had some parts of it that produced water.
After taking the suit, Miller's mind went to how damaged the officer's face looked and he asked: "Sorry to ask you this, what actually happened to your face".
This question had been in James's mind to ask but he did not know how to ask without being rude.
The officer gave a big sigh and then said; "It's a story for another day".
From his response, it was clear he did not want to answer the question and Miller did not want to push any further.
Zabat now came towards where the trio where sitting and he started greeting them especially James. James, who found this awkward asked, "What is wrong with you? Are you all right?"
"I am fine, i am just glad that i meet you" Zabat replied.
"Why" James asked a little confused.
"You know why" Zabat said.
"No i don't" James said.
Zabat then went to narrate the story about the prophecy and how they had seen James demonstrate a power similar to what had been described. James was now a little curious about these aliens beings called the Levicterians.
'If they could see everything, the past, the present, and future, they they can surely see about my past' he thought to himself.
But this thought did not go unnoticed to Edmund who was just there quiet and had not say anything since the story was narrated.
"Fool, he said that they might have got into extinction because of Mevorotrians, where you not listening" Edmund replied in a rude tone.
"Okay, no need to get angry" James said back to Edmund.
Immediately Zabat was done speaking other aliens came and so did more and more come and they started bowing to James.
"All hail the long awaited saviour!" Zabat shouted as they bent down their heads showing their respect.
James loved the way they had given him respect because of some funny prophecy he did not actually believe in. This thing did not go unnoticed by Getrax who was still sitting in his dark secluded area.
"I once had glory and I was once feared in this prison, but now it's him." Getrax said as he folded his fist.
Miller was a little Uncomfortable with the amount of aliens surrounding them, but he could not complain. What could he an average human do against such amount of aliens.

It was now night time on the planet and the tournament is going to start tomorrow. They were all sitting at the large long rocky Dinning tables and so where they served foods. They foods were still not appealing to the Humans. Most aliens wanted to offer their night meal to James, but James declined.
They hardly gave them meal in the prison, but because of the tournament was tomorrow, they gave them morning and night today.
James was now feeling hungry, but he could not ask the officer for a pill because when the officer asked him if he needed any he declined, but now he was finding it hard to do it.
"You know hunger would make us feel weak in a fight" Edmund said to James inside their head.
"I know you don't have to remind me" James replied to Edmund.
"It's our body, so i also have the right to speak" Edmund said.
James did not bother giving him an answer, he just pretended like he did not hear him.
Finally now the sound of the doors opening could be heard and in came two Mevorotrians. One of them holding something that looked like a stroke on his hand, while the other had his hands wrapped around himself.
Mevorotrians looked weak from their physically appearance, but they weren't beings that most race would dear to mess with.
"You all should have your rest now, for the match would begin first thing tomorrow morning, GOODLUCK" He said. "These are the names of group A, these are the ones that would be fighting Tomorrow."
"Remember you have to fight till death, not killing your opponent would make you disqualified and you shall be judged"
"The first on this list that would be sparring of would be:"
"Getrax and Miller"
"What!!!" Miller shouted out immediately after hearing that he was the one to fight Getrax.
