It was the six hundredth year since humans started to leave Earth to colonize other planets. Gradual was one of the planets they had colonized and during the most time they were there, they believed they were alone. But in the fourth year of human existence on Gradual, they were attacked by raven beasts, winged creatures born by the planet itself. Immune to all energy weapons of humans. The fight with the raven beasts cost humanity over a billion lives before they finally got victory. Such an expensive victory made the humans bitter, and they directed their wrath to one of the civilizations they had signed a peace treaty with, the AIs, the planet was shared by humans and Gradual but when the war came, the Graduals stayed out of it. Humans protested at all AI bases in Gradual but the AIs remained silent about the whole issue and over time their relationship began to show strains.

His hair was white as was the beard he let grow in both sides of his cheek and his jaw. On both sides of his head, his ears looked as if covered by a seal, and long antennas stretched from them reaching an inch above his head. He had his right hand resting on the left part of his chest and on it was the beautiful life-like tattoo of a white lotus. Across from him stood some ten people, six men and four women with the same antennae features. If one observed closely they would also notice on the back of their hands the same tattoo as on the white beard young man's. "We all know each other here, countless times we have worked together. I have abandoned the name of my cowardly father and become Pure. Together, Purity and I have served Primal and we will continue to do so even in the face of this seemingly impassable chasm." He paused, looking around th
Meanwhile, Jelena Savage was facing a challenge in her office. On her desk was a letter and painted on the letter was the lifelike image of a beautiful white lily. This was the presence of Primal, the white Lily represented unblemished Al. The claim of Primal was to restore the Al race to what they originally were. It was popularly known among humans and Al that Primal had caused the Crisis but the Coalition Administration and leaders of the Human Alliance knew better. "What are they asking for?" She asked, turning to her Chief of Staff standing by the side. "To remove Axel Mason from the position of Keeper" The Chief of Staff a middle-aged man in a suit replied. He had short antennas on both sides of his head only reaching a few inches above his ears. Jelena slid the letter off the table to the ground and relaxed in her chair. Spinning her chair around she stared at the window behind her table."Things are falling apart Xavier" she muttered. "Perhaps it's time to change strategy
"Axel, you changed since you took over this place. What did you learn?" She asked a question she had asked almost every day since the first day he became Librarian. Although he had yet to be titled and given the abilities he was entitled to, Axel had one of his own that was rare among humans. An Eidetic memory, at least some claimed, Aurora was more of the opinion that he had hyperthymesia because of the detail at which he could recall things. But it confused her because he never really displayed the drawbacks of the condition. Axel looked up at Aurora and suddenly smiled. "I'll see you later Ara," he said to her and continued into the Archives. Aurora watched him leave without stopping him. Axel did not know, but the reason she was resistant to giving Jelena Savage her support was his crush on the young Chieftess. Aurora did not like it one bit, just like she did not like Rita and she hated Gretel. "Primal" she muttered to herself. Being an observant person, she noticed that Axel
Offering a military salute by crossing their hands over their chest they stood facing her. Jelena Savage was not as old as one would expect from the leader of an entire race. She was only 17, even younger than Axel by a whole two years! Her hair was braided just above both her ears, her eyes watched coldly like a hawk and inside them, one could sense ruthlessness emanating from her whole being. Her voice was a bat match for her personality, she sounded nothing like who she was. This was a strong woman, who ruled with fear and an iron fist. Axel could only stare at her with a complicated expression. Before she had to take on this mantle of Chieftess, they would eat together in the cafeteria and have a small talk every mealtime. Until one day when she never came. And the next day, he was appointed as the librarian of the Archives. As for Gretel? She was much older than them both being in her early thirties. She used to be part of the old Administration and worked as the Advisor to th
Axel stared at the pod silently as the lights turned on, the storm was picking up speed and he knew he had to hurry back but at this moment he only cared to see the pod leave Gradual's atmosphere. "I'll wait for you Axel, come back to me, come home" he kept hearing his girlfriend's voice screaming at him from a window on the pod. Their gazes locked and air almost escaped his lips from his chest as he choked on a gasp. Shaking his head he held it in and continued to stare at her with a small smile on his blackened face. "I love you Rita" he muttered as the thrusters of the pod came on and it shot upwards into outer space. The storm picked up at the same time and he could see a mushroom cloud of flames in the distance! The war had started. Despite the hopelessness in his heart for his survival, a smile escaped his lips because Rita had finally left Gradual.The ground suddenly began to tremble and a dust cloud rushed at him.
