Bella believed her instincts, there wasn't any threat. Before, it felt like a curious child who found something interesting and exciting, now, like a lost soul.

"Yes." His head is still lowered, hands now together, like a guilty child being scolded.

"You can come with us, but you have to tell us everything." Dean took her hands without taking his eyes off the target. Her pinky finger caressed his hands silently saying she was fine.

"Of course." Looking at her, she has similarities. Eyes, nose, her face, are like two different molds into one. Before, he thought she came from the same place.

Although years have passed, it wouldn't be impossible. But then again, they look human, just stronger, and there's a bit of energy similar to him. He never heard of humans gaining abilities, not even those who tried to have descendants. Although they can borrow abilities, it's not permanent. Hers is a mystery he wants to unlock before he leaves this world forever. It doesn't matter if he dies or lives. If it can save his family, he's willing to give his life to protect them, at least one last time.

There's still doubt, maybe because he spent most of his time with them, their existence is already engraved in his mind. Like a real family, he never imagined could make him betray his own kind. Receiving warmth, and happiness, comparing it to others. For him, more warmth, more happiness. It would be nice to live a normal life again, with everybody.

He snapped from his daydream, knowing it won't be the case anymore. It's harder to live being persecuted. He's tired. If it weren't for them, he had already given up a long time ago. He can see their shadow in her, but not sure if it's only in his head.

Bella moved from her space, a long table on a flat surface. A chair on the end and two chairs on the other end. Without speaking, all of them sat in their obvious places. Although they're in an awkward situation, she's not stingy. Delicious food appeared on both sides.

This time, he's relaxed but can't help but think something funny. It's like he's a pig ready to be slaughtered after a good meal. He chuckled quietly. The couple saw it but ignored it, thinking he was a bit loose in the head for not eating good food for a long time.

She can't help peeking at this mysterious guy. Even with filth all over his body, it didn't hide his refined table manners. How could a noble end up here? Why are they willing to spend so many resources just to catch him? His space may be big but not sure if it's upgradable or can be planted like hers. While they were talking, she was scanning the surroundings. There was no exit or any place in the cave where anybody could hide, aside from the tunnel where they came from. Because of this, her theory is that "they" were also space users hiding somewhere she can't see, or maybe he can also keep living things in his space.

Deep in the ocean in the south, a group of mermaids was swimming fast. With belongings wrapped in seaweed like plants. When their queen and king followed the humans, they were against it. Humans are cunning and selfish. Although their warnings may come true, their hatred for humans is deep.

At first, they couldn't believe most of them lost reason with that special water and abilities. Some of them are against their rule for a long time, living in peace with humans. But they destroyed their homes with pollution over the years. Thousands of their kind died from diseases they got from throwing s*** in the sea. But they weren't allowed to retaliate.

When natural disasters destroy the land like tornadoes, tsunamis, they felt joy. It's like nature is reciprocating, and their grievances are relieved. But it's only a bit of what they owe, it's not enough. Centuries past, it's getting worst. Maybe this destruction they speaking about is the final response to all the suffering they received. For them, it's an opportunity to fight back. But a few of them won't make a difference, so they must unite at all costs.

It's been weeks since they left. The surrounding silence woke them from reality. Before their home is full of life, with little ones swimming everywhere, others playing with whales and marine life. Now, a few of them remain. If the planet changes for the worst, with their number, nobody can protect them but themselves. Their leader respected their decision to stay, even warned them, and tried to convince them repeatedly. She respected their decisions and left them with ten bottles of water from the human they now recognize as queen.

May be because of selfishness, they want to be free from laws and restrictions. But after they left, they realized, that without their leader, they were nothing. No, they won't swallow their pride. They have to think of a way to survive on their own. Thus, now heading south to the place where the exiles live. They remembered that without the restrictions of the King, it was a matter of time until the barriers are broken….

The maid brought tea and snacks under the cherry blossom tree near the lake. The noise around the villa didn't disturb the elders. Sipping the tea made from the finest tree and water from their daughter-in-law.

"Zhao's and Song's elders called me." Grandma Dy said as she places the cup on the saucer.

"Hm. Weren't hiding, anyway. I just want to be ahead of them, but more resources mean more chances of people surviving, so let them move how they want. As long as they won't provoke us." he spoke looking ahead.

"I miss the kids."

"Yup, you miss the food she makes." peeks at her old man, now ten years younger.

"Ehem,cough cough, not true."

The big movements didn't go unnoticed. Some believe there's a conspiracy, others just go on with the trend. Tons of food is imported from the surrounding countries. The black market also made movements, tons of guns, grenades arrived one after the other.

One country noticed the movement because they produced high-quality firearms. But the strange thing is that the military did nothing to block it. Vittoria's market is hard to infiltrate. Although this will make them rich, it's like a gut feeling. They want to know what's going on. This batch of goods was exported together with some spies. They hope to get the news as soon as possible.

"Boss, they're moving." Holding her tablet, looking at the woman in her bathrobe. Her hands, swirling a glass of red wine, looking at the traffic through the tinted window.

"It's about time." She finished the wine in one gulp.

"Did you find him?"

"He's busy with the company, but recently, trucks of supplies come and go in the warehouses." She wanted to blurt, his addiction to shopping.

"Oh? Buy copies of everything and send them. Tell him it's my welcome gift."

Aubrey's face twitched, thinking of her sleepless days. She's already exhausted from hoarding supplies, now she has to double the effort. Well, they're not short of money anyway. But would it be better to buy him stress-free gifts, jewelry or jades?

Arlo's body was soaked in blood, sweat, tears, and snot. For a moment he wished to die than go through that painful minutes again. Breathing heavily, he couldn't believe his eyes when his legs recovered without scars. If it weren't for the pain and the blood on his pants, it felt like magic that happens only in dreams or movies.

Hugo and Ares looked at each other. Hugo looks at the ceiling and the walls to find the exit. Ares took two vials and fed them to Axel, who was still unconscious. Like instincts pinching the nose, he swallowed the medicine. Slowly, his eyes opened.

"Thank goodness!" Ares sighed, smiling like an idiot.

'Whhaa..whaat happened?"

"We'll tell you later. We need to get out. Can you stand up?"

"I think so." When he stood up, he saw a ray of light above the ceiling behind Ares.

"Ares, look!" He pointed at the light. Hugo saw it too, jumped at the huge boulder, and dug. The small light from the hole grew stronger as he removed the stones blocking it. It blinded him, but sighed when he saw the trees and the sky.

"Let's go!" Arlo jumped twice, reassuring him his legs were healed. Tools their backpacks and climbed up.

"By the way, Arlo, the underwear you hid, is it really mine? "

"Yeah, there's a stitch letter "A" on it."

"Huh?" Because he doesn't remember losing it, he doesn't even know how to do needlework.

Both of them didn't notice Hugo's twitching cheeks. He has lots of underwear, he won't even notice if he loses one. There's a mark on his belongings so they won't mix with the others. Most of them were stitched with the letter "H" but since he's not good with the needles, some looked like "A"....

She replaced the dining table with two long sofas with a low table in between, filled with snacks and a pot of tea. Bella and Dean sat together, and he was on the other side. After sipping, he felt comfortable. Like all the sufferings wash by this one cup of liquid. He closed his eyes, enjoying the bliss. He wasn't aware that his cells were slowly repairing, old ones replaced with new ones. Then he opened his innocent but clear eyes.

"Hello! You can call me, Olcri."
