“Any news about the subjects we’re dealing with?” Nick asked through his communicator, addressing Adrian with urgency in his tone.Adrian responded after a brief pause:“No, but it seems they’re using some kind of otherworldly technology. The armor they wear… From the images you sent me, it reminds me a lot of Luxteno metal.”Nick frowned, processing the information.“We’ll keep working and let you know,” Adrian continued seriously. “They could be anywhere; there’s no trace of any of them. I’ll send out an alert to all agents, but I’ll warn them not to confront them alone. Those suits are impenetrable.”Both ended communication. Nick stood pensively, gazing at the horizon as he silently reflected:“This is exactly what I feared… They’ve come from another planet searching for something. I hope my son is alright… I regret not being there with him.”Aiden had run off when everyone pointed at him as if he were the villain of the story. Not only that, but he hadn’t returned to his dormitor

At break time, some of the orphans who had previously been under Aiden’s control during the battle against Zeus recognized him and greeted him enthusiastically. However, his responses were curt and distant, still overwhelmed by everything he had endured. Maria and Billy, noticing his emotional state, kindly intervened, explaining to those greeting him that he wasn’t feeling well.Meanwhile, the twins began spreading malicious rumors about Aiden. They claimed he had become arrogant after appearing on international television and being hailed as a "savior," now believing himself superior to everyone else. According to them, Aiden avoided "the riffraff" because he thought he was better than everyone. Some students fell for their lies, others doubted, but very few questioned these claims.As if that weren’t enough, the twins added another falsehood: they insisted that Aiden couldn’t use his powers at will and was as weak as those without special abilities—like certain teachers from lesser

Just as Aiden and Podbe were about to open the door, someone behind them spoke:“I’ve also been assigned to stay with you guys,” Riota said, accompanied by Akira and Diego, who carried their belongings with expressions that were both tired and curious.When they opened the door, all three were startled. From the darkness of the room, a calm but unsettling voice echoed:“Ah! It’s you… What are you doing here?” the voice said, freezing everyone in fear.Diego, visibly trembling, thought he had seen nightmares come to life among the shadows. However, when someone turned on the light, they discovered it was none other than Cain, sitting calmly on his bed while playing with threads of darkness that floated around him like invisible serpents.“Hey! Don’t do that. You almost gave Diego a heart attack!” Akira exclaimed, crossing his arms with a mix of frustration and relief. His tone was stern, but there was a hint of concern in his voice as he looked at Diego, who still seemed paralyzed with

“And where exactly are we going? That planet is enormous,” remarked the taller and more robust of the two figures, looking at the scientist with some impatience.The scientist responded without flinching: “That doesn’t matter. You’ll go to one of the active portals. Then, with this device, you’ll be able to locate another.”Without further explanation, both vanished from the lab in a flash of light.Moments later, they reappeared in what seemed to be an enormous ancient tomb, shrouded in mystery and shadows. Without wasting time, they began searching for an exit. As they moved forward, they encountered someone who addressed them with authority: “What are you doing here?”Both figures reacted swiftly, drawing futuristic pistols from their belts and firing without hesitation. The person who had confronted them turned out to be a guard of the site, who managed to call for reinforcements before being taken down. His colleagues arrived shortly after, but they were neutralized just as ea

“School?” the kids repeated as they climbed onto the bus that would take them to the location specified by Marie.Aiden boarded with Podbe and immediately headed to the back of the vehicle. He sat silently, gazing out the window while the dog rested at his feet. The others stole glances at him, some concerned, others curious. Aiden hadn’t been interacting much with the group in recent months, and his distant attitude was starting to generate murmurs. Some saw him as dark and mysterious, but others, like Cain and Hela, found his behavior intriguing. They decided to sit near him, exchanging knowing glances as they tried to start conversations that barely received responses.Riota, on the other hand, couldn’t shake off his guilt. He looked around, searching for Benjamin, but he was nowhere to be seen on the bus. “What if this is all my fault?” he thought, frustrated for not noticing sooner what was going on with his friend. Floud, oblivious to the general tension, sat next to him excited

Arc 2 - Lux SagaIt has been nearly a year since our heroes thwarted the evil plans of Milo, the man who called himself "Zeus." Though the world had been saved from the brink of disaster, not everything was joyous for them. The weight of what they had faced still echoed in their hearts, like the lingering reverberations of a battle that never fully fades.“Who made that noise?” I, the writer, asked, breaking the silence.“It was me,” replied a familiar voice, though it carried an irritating tone.“Oh, it’s you. What do you want now?” I inquired, frowning.“I see you were about to start with a bland time jump. You might as well leave this to me,” the voice interrupted, with an air of arrogance.“But I’m the writer,” I reminded, annoyed.“And I want to narrate,” came the unwavering reply. “But don’t worry, you’ll know who I am soon enough…”With a mix of frustration and curiosity, I relinquished control.So, let’s pick up where we left off. After their epic confrontation with their grea
