51. We Are Not Alone
A city covered with ruins and dunes. Shatterlands. Hot air scattered red dust in the atmosphere, the particles burning against skin and lungs alike. The ground beneath vibrated like a pulse, slow and steady it almost felt ominous. A pale blue sky, empty of constellations or sunlight, stretched above them, staring back with nothing more to offer. One could see skulls and bleached bones half-buried in the sand. Some were human-shaped, most were not. Eight figures emerged from the horizon, their silhouette wrapped by heat. Their feet sank into the deep, red sand as they moved, and by the looks, one could say exhaustion was their companion as they dragged every step. They walked divided into three fragments; Sonia and Yuri led the way, followed by five pleiadians, they walked quietly but held an alert and watchful expression. Then, Logan followed behind, deliberately far behind. His face was carved from stone, and his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles were now white.
52. Lesson One
Logan's gaze was fixed upward, his hands tucked under his head as he lay flat on a fabric placed on the dune. Constellations had begun to appear slowly in the sky. Perhaps it was morning; he hadn't figured that out yet, as the sky remained the same pale, hollow blue, offering no warmth nor a sense of time. The red sand felt cold against his skin, and each breath tasted metallic, making him long for Earth's refreshing air. Logan groaned, both hands pressed to the ground as he pushed himself up.

Sonia stood not too far away, gazing over the horizon, she turned her gaze to Yuri and nodded once. “Training starts now,” Yuri said. “Prepare yourself, this will hurt.” Logan exhaled slowly. “Great.” Sonia stood fixed, tensio
53. Peace Faction 1
Sonia's expression turned somber. Immediately she bolted towards Logan but halted mid-stride as the ripple began to expand. It was almost as if a beast roared underneath the ground. The dunes trembled. Around them, the Pleiadians' expressions contracted to one of shock at the ripple's expansion. Yuri snarled as the sands began eating up his legs. “Rejik, don't—” The ground beneath split open and swallowed the crew. …………… Logan winced as his eyes slowly fluttered open, all he could remember was wind tearing past his ear on an endless fall before everything went dark. “Sonia…” The word left his lips as a rasp. A sharp pain throbbed in his head and his fingers instinctively reached to rub his temple. ‘No chains this time?’ The smell of damp oil and metal made his nose scrunch. His eyes narrowed. ‘Where is this?’ He pushed himself upright, scanning the room, which seemed more like a cell, with bare white walls and a ceiling that e
