The early morning light filtered through the estate's security control room windows as the lead technician, Micheal, held up the sleek device with trembling hands. The military-grade surveillance equipment gleamed under the fluorescent lights, its surface unmarked despite being torn from beneath the dinner table.

"How much did it record?" Benjamin asked, his voice tight.

Marcus swallowed hard. "Significant audio from the dinner, sir. The device was active for approximately forty-seven minutes before we disabled it."

The emergency meeting had been called within hours. Benjamin sat at the head of the conference table, flanked by three other family elders. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut.

"This is exactly what I warned everyone about," Elder Margaret said, her weathered face creased with worry. "Bringing outsiders into our private spaces."

"We don't know who planted it," Benjamin replied, but his tone suggested he had his suspicions.

"Don't we?" Elder Thomas leaned forwar

    The lady had refused to get rid of her smile, but it was not contagious enough to had any effect on Mezzle. He still stared at her with wide eyes, not sure if he was supposed to go any closer to her. “This can’t be happening.” He muttered, taking in a deep breath. The soldiers had not seen him like that before, so it was almost impossible for them to comprehend what was happening. But they couldn’t call it fear, nor could they call it weakness. Nevertheless, it was unexplainable, and the harder they tried to understand it, the more difficult it was for them. So they continued staring while they kept their distance. The lady decided that it was time for her to get rid of the space that was between her and Mezzle. “Come give me a hug!” Her steps were getting quicker, her smile lingering as she spread her arms wide enough to contain Mezzle. “I have missed you so much!” She sighed as she wrapped her arms around him. Mezzle just stood still like a statue, but when he saw that th

    Serenity seemed to have returned to the military base, but both the soldiers and the civilians had not stopped talking about everything that they had been through for days. What was more saddening were the lives that were lost. But even the properties that were damaged had taken a toll on them, and it was going to take a lot of time to process. Work was already in progress, but Mezzle was not certain that they were going to finish on time. The soldier in charge of the work was worried as well, walking up to him with a hopeless expression.He saluted and took a deep breath. “What do we do, General? We have little time left.” Mezzle looked around, and seeing that the houses that were destroyed had barely been touched, he sighed. “How many houses were destroyed, Lieutenant?” “Fifteen houses, General.” The Lieutenant said, causing Mezzle to arch his brows. He took a deep breath, and then he let it out slowly. “How many laborers do we have currently?’“About fifty workers are on boa

    Seeing that their fate was soon going to be decided by the sharp edge of the dagger, the men shivered, staring with wide eyes and shivering lips. One of them who had refused to speak earlier lifted his hand nervously. “Allow me to speak, General.” He swallowed hard, not certain if he was going to get the permission he was seeking.At that moment, Mezzle looked around, but when he eventually returned his gaze to the man, he gestured to him. “Speak.” The man sighed heavily, looking at his companions left and right. “We are sorry, General Mezzle. We didn’t want to come here, but we had no choice. Our people are dying, and we don’t even have enough food to sustain them.”Mezzle growled. “That’s not a good reason to do what you did, Gentlemen. You killed my soldier and attacked us!”“WE are sorry, General!” Another man pleaded, and the others affirmed his words with deep nods. Mezzle had no time to spend with them. “I want you to go back to wherever you are coming from and speak to your

    Mezzle thought that Eren was going to react to what he said just in case he wasn’t aware that the device was picking up the signal from outside Earth, but Eren still maintained his look. “Do you know what that means, Eren?”“Yes, I know, Mezzle.” Eren nodded confidently, and that gave the General a reason to pay attention to him. Eren took a deep breath. “Look, Mezzle. Getting into space is not going to be a big deal for us. We just need to figure out the exact location Yuri could be hiding and get to him.”Mezzle scoffed. “How do we do that?” He asked, still not seeing how that was viable. “By flying with the ships that we have.”“What ships, Eren? I am sure that you know that most of our war machines and even spaceships were destroyed by the aliens. Those were among the first things they destroyed, knowing how that could render us incapable.” Eren chuckled softly. “I am not talking about those ships, General.” He sighed, but realizing that Mezzle was still confused, he had to co

    qqAll Eren had to do was listen attentively, and the moment he heard the same sound Mezzle was paying attention to, he sighed. “What is that?” “There is only one way to find out,” Mezzle responded, but Eren didn’t look like he was prepared to make that discovery at that moment. “Come on.” Mezzle was already on his way, following the direction that led to the sound, and he was left with no choice but to go with him.Slowly, they marched along the hallway that had debris and so many other things littered all over, avoiding the objects that could make noise and reveal their presence just in case there was anyone around. “Do you think this is a good idea?” Eren asked, but Mezzle silently continued moving, and in less than a couple of seconds, they had already arrived at the room where the sound was reverberating from. “That’s a portal.” Eren was the first to discover what the glittering opening on the wall was while Mezzle stood in front of it, unsure if it was safe to go closer.At

    Olden knew not to waste any time when answering the General’s questions, but at that moment, he seemed to be a little bit overwhelmed by what the ladies said to him.Not only Mezzle, but the soldiers were also eager to hear what he was going to say. “Speak, Soldier!” Mezzle was running out of patience, and his outburst was enough to force Olden to speak. He took a deep breath. “They are from Barmia, General.” Mezzle sighed. “That’s one of the countries in the East.” He stared at the ladies for a while, and then he asked. “What else?” “They said they belong to a group called the Revolutionists.” “Revolutionists?” Mezzle, Eren, and some of the soldiers muttered. “Yes, General. They said it’s a group consisting of about ten countries. They are survivors of the apocalypse who decided to form a group.” Mezzle sighed, but even though he was glad to hear that there were more survivors than they thought, he still had some concerns. “What else?” Olden took a deep breath. “They said th
