It's already beginning to grow light. Venom led seedrians to the others, where loud disputes were heard. There was already a guard of the settlement.

"What's going on here?" Venom addressed to the latter.

"This we need to ask," they answered, and then pricked up their ears, "What are you planning? C-commandant?"

"It's all right... I think," he replied calmly, coming up with Venom.

"We're all assembled," Venom glanced around, "Mister Commandant, I ask you to let seedrians fly free from Krosus".

"You know, I do not think it's polite to ask for something with a weapon in hand," he grimaced.

Venom, glancing at his sword, hoisted it in the ground.

"I'm very sorry to hear that," the commandant continued, "We have not yet completed the fight against the Metarex. Your presence here contributes to this".

"In what kind? Venom asked.

"Well, for example, of all we know, it's seedrians who have the most information about Metarex. Your technologies have even some similarities. In addition, Metarex were first noticed after the fall of Green Gate.

"What are you driving at, commandant? So you want to accuse us of colluding with these monsters?" Shog intervened, "This is absurd! Why should they then fight against us? Why did they then destroy the colony?"

"They could easily find meaning in this," the commandant snarled. Everyone suddenly fell silent, "By the way, our infantry recently saw Metarex, who was... a seedrian!" he deliberately stressed the last word, "She says that he does not see any sense in the life of the colonists and decided to take these three young ladies into captivity".

"No!" Cosmo shouted, but all those present did not come out of their stupor.

"So..." Venom exhaled, "In that case, try to explain to me one more thing: who and why did got angry to Green Gate? Who needed to bomb it?"

He noticed a flinching of eyes at the commandant. So he dug very deep.

"You should not raise this subject, son," he shook his head, "It was hard for us after that to restore a common language with each other".

"But you..." Venom shook himself, but the big hand that lay on his shoulder stopped him.

"He's right, Venom. This is now useless," a seedrian interjected.

"Perhaps there is anger against each other and remains to this day," another seedrian of quite mature age approached them, "but before the difficulties and new threats, one should suppress one's pride and hatred for the sake of preserving peace".

Everyone looked at this old woman silently. It seemed that they thought about something.

"What happened then?" Venom hung in thoughts, "Hate... Pride? The Metarex? Green Gate? Krosus? Wait, you..."

This fictitious chain greatly frightened Venom. And that practically was hinted by Narciss early.

"Well, since you did not change your mind," the commandant said, glancing at seedrians, "then I'll let you fly away. You already lost a whole colony, so it's not easy for you. This should be discussed with the leadership..."

"I see that no one has thought of it so deeply," Venom breathed with relief that the subject of the conversation had changed. Although other thoughts began to drive him into a stupor: if Metarex is seedrians, then why Venom does not want this mystery to be revealed? Most likely, he can not say this in the presence of all these persons who also suffered from these wars. And who is that seedrian?

"Good!" Venom returned after reflection, "Thank you so much that you sheltered them on your planet," seedrians bowed, "I left my ship nearby. We fly on it".

Everyone moved along the road. The light began to come out from behind the horizon. In less than a few seconds, the girl stepped on something soft.

"Daddy, look! What a soft!" she mumbled, as if she saw a miracle.

Seedrians began to look around, but krosusians began to see this as a trick.

"G-grass? She should not grow here!" the commandant began to speak in a dumbfounded voice," This is not good..."

There was a crack. The earth suddenly began to shake, and then - even to disperse at the seams, leaving behind a deep plume. A rumble began to grow.

"What's happening?" Venom asked. From the crevices began to appear roots, rushing up.

"That... can not be! Our soldiers told us that on one planet a whole forest from the air had grown beside them! one of the guards inserted, trying to stay on the ground, "As if the whole planet... came to life!"

"We need to get out of here!" Venom commanded, "Everyone on my ship!"
