Chapter 4: To the hole of malevolence.

Ario POV:

We were going to the royal room, since it was still soon. Maybe the king was there.

"What this idiot human his thinking?" Said Vinta angrily. "He should have asked for out help!"

"I know…and now…we don't even know where he's going." Said Siado.

We reach the royal room and open it. We saw prince Ifrar, king Theeb-Saar, Bajar and Mudeenu. Don't ask why Bajar and Mudeenu is here, I absolutely have no idea.

"What are you doing here?" Shout Bajar.

"It's the human Seraphin, he escape from the palace and he's going fighting that Beruga alone." Said Sobject. He then gives the letter to the king.

"What?" Said Ifrar.

"I knew he was planning something." Said the king. "So…I put a tracking device. I trust my instinct and I intend to follow him now. He also escort us to this Beruga domain."

"When did you put it?" Ask Mudeenu.

"When we serve the food. One of my loyal servants put the device when he was keeping a low profile and didn't know he puts it on his clothes." Said Theeb-Saar.

"Very smart." Said Bajar. "But you should let your warrior follow hi-"

"No. I should have watch him and watch any exit. I knew he was planning something but no this. Also, as a King it's my duty to protect my tribe and this is EXATLY WHAT I'M GOING TO DO!" Said Theeb-Saar with passion. Passion that makes Ifrar eyes shine like stars.

"Understood. I shall watch over the kingdom at you absence…again." He said.

I case you wonder yes, Bajar had taken his place sometime until he returns. He is loyal to his brother and Theeb-Saar trusts him.

"Bajar, prepare the troops and when you are ready, send them where we are going. I'll keep a tracking device on me so they can found me understood."

"Understood." Said Bajar.

"Alright…You four will come with me. Since you know him, he would be more receptive when we will catch him and talk to him. We know the desert more than him so we will catch him before we reach his destination. Prepare yourself and meet me when you are ready." Order Theeb-Saar.

We quickly prepare ourselves and in less than 10 minutes, we were ready. We went into the desert and we follow his trail.

We were also greatly honorable that we were escorting the king.

The king gets his detector and found where the humans are. He was in the North. So we walk after him during the day. When the night comes, we were closer to him but he was still far away. We heard something. I stand up and I said:

"Show yourself now." And I stand in battle stance. The others did that to.

"Don't attack us." Said a voice. Then 2 mipedians cease to be invisible. It was Iflar and Mudeenu.

"What are you doing here?" Said Theeb-Saar very angry.

"We were following you." Said Iflar. That was something we clearly knew.

"Why were you following us?" Ask the King.

"Because we also want to protect our tribe like you said. I'm the prince and the future king of the mipedians so I must also do my duty." Said Iflar

"And you?" Ask the King.

"…Because I refuse to let Iflar go alone." Said Mudeenu a little embarrassed by his concession.

"We all know you care for Iflar, he said it himself." I said.

"Iflar…You said it." Said Mudeenu embarrassed by my revelation.

"Euh…Yes…of course. There my friends after all." Said Iflar.

"*sign*…Alright." Said Mudeenu after signing.

"We better rest for now. We must need all our strength." Said Sobjeck.

"Wait. What about the kids?" Said Vinta.

"WE ARE NO KIDS, NEXT YEAR I'M AN ADULT AND THE NEXT YEAR AFTER ME, ITS IFLAR TURN." Shout Mudeenu.

"About the soon adult then." Correct Vinta.

"…They will come with us. Even if we said no…my son will follow us and Mudeenu with be after my son." Said the king with a small and proud smile about his son maturity... I think.

"Thank you father!" Said Iflar with a smile.

"But you must be careful…I don't want you to be injured…If it's dangerous…get out of here." Said Theeb-Saar.

"I'll make sure he does that." Said Siado.

"Alright. It time to sleep." Said Theeb-Saar.

When everyone, including myself was asleep the night were advancing until someone wake me up in the middle of the night. The one who wake me was Iflar.

"You're finally awake." He said to me.

"What do you want?" I ask and grunt a little since I was awake sooner by him.

"Oh…Sorry, I forgot you hate being awake that way. Anyway…It's good to see you again. I haven't see you since…you became a soldiers." Said sadly Iflar.

"I know…I'm sorry…I'm still new and still just a regular soldiers. I must climb the ranks before I became a royal guard…and I now I'll be one. Vinta also want to become a royal guard." I answer.

"…Why will you do that?" Ask Iflar.

"Because we want to protect you. You're our friends but you're also the future kind of our tribe. Well…its difficult being close to you when you must rule the tribe so we decide to became royal guard, so we will be able to protect you directly." I said.

"You're such a friend Ario and also Vinta." Said Iflar touched by my words.

"Well, better be ready for tomorrow."

"Alright."

We then both fall asleep on the sand.


3rd POV:

Seraphin was sleeping alone in the desert. He still feels guilty when he led Ario behind but he must do this. I will help you and then…I shall rejoin all of …those I've care and are no more alive…Ario…I…I…really should have said this to you I should have say it in person. He then sleeps on the sand, unaware that he's being tracked by the mipedians.


Ario POV:

The second day went smoothly. We move at good speed so we were closer to Seraphin. All of us, maybe less Mudeenu, were worried about him. He can die anytime if we don't rejoin him in time. The sun went down and the night was coming. We decide to keep moving a little until the night came and we were sure Seraphin didn't move anymore.

"Well, let's camp here for the night." Order our king.

"…Do you think we will make it in time?" I ask.

"Of course we can." Said Sobjeck. "I think we still have 2 days until Seraphin reach his destination. After all, I think you meet him close to his destination. As long none of those robot came in our way…We will be fine."

"Are they dangerous?" Ask Iflar.

"Yes they are." I said. "A lot of mipedians disappear mysteriously during the last year and from Seraphin story, Beruga was awaken during that year. Those robot are dangerous, one nearly kill me but…Seraphin save me…even when he didn't know me and even if he shouldn't worry about me or the mipedians. He still tries to help us and put himself aside."

"How noble." Comment Iflar.

"He just thinks about the other. There's nothing noble in this." Said Mudeenu.

"That's not important right now." Said Theeb-Saar. "For now…we must sleep and be ready for the next day."

"Understood." We said.

The next day was also easy, nothing stand in our way. It worries me. It seems we are watched but those who were spying us let us pass. I wonder if we are going into a trap.

"I don't like this." Said Siado. "We are clearly being watch and I'm sure their leader knows about our presence."

"He must prepare his welcoming party for us." Said Vinta with sarcasm.

"So he must know about Seraphin presence too." I said.

"Hum…" Said Sobjeck.

"What is it?" Ask Theeb-Saar.

"I just wonder…How are we able to read the letter in the first place? I don't think he writes the same way as us. Yet, we can understand his content." Said Sobjeck.

"You right." I said. "Now that I think about it…the letter was write in a strange paper. I don't know how we could read it but Seraphin is the only one who has the answer."

We then all fall asleep. The night was shining with the full moon. I wonder what Seraphin can dream during his rest.


3rd POV:

Seraphin was asleep during the night and has a dream he didn't want to remember:

It was the third days of mankind fall. He was watching the news on the holovision.

"Hello viewers and here's the international news." Said the reporter. "Has you may already knew, all of the America has been destroy. It's sad news to report. All of them have done their best to resist the unknown attackers but none of them survive. Also-"

Seraphin cut the holovision. He began crying. His girlfriend was on vacation at America when the attack began. Now…He has lost her. He would never see her again. Soon it will be his friends, soon it will be his parents and the rest of his family and then…soon it will be him. He didn't know what to do anymore. Live until he dies, fight for humanity survival even if it fail or…put an end to his life. The more he thinks about it, the more the third options is the one he wants to do. Then, he feels pain at his back. He then loses consciousness as he hears the voice of Beruga.

"It is time to come with me, number one."

He wakes up and saw that the sun was already high. He was close now; all he needs to do is walks.

Why did I get out of here when I learn of his plan? I…I was too afraid to confront him. But now…I know why I must kill him. I must protect those who are alive in the new era…and then…let the throne to them.


Ario POV:

When we woke up, the sun wasn't in the sky. Since we were ready and full of energy we continued walking. The pursuit wasn't long until we finally caught him. The sun was at the middle of the sky. He was visible in front of us, but he wasn't moving, he was only standing here, immobile and searching on the ground. Theeb-Saar order us to turn invisible and we move closer, waiting to see what he was about to do. He stands down and uses his fingers to press something. The ground began shaking and a hole begins to appear. When the ground stop shaking, Seraphin walk down in the hole and we can hear step sound like if he was walking on stairs.

"Let's follow him." Said Theeb-Saar.

"Understood." We said.

"Iflar…Mudeenu, be extremely careful, we are in the enemy domain now." Warn Theeb-Saar.

The 2 nod and we all began to walk down the stairs, invisible and without any sound. Then we hear a sound and we saw the hole closing behind us.

We can't turn back now.


AC: Here's the end of this chapter, only one more and an epilogue and the first season is over. Don't worry; the second one will be far better. After all, all tribes will have their spotlight in the second season.
