past

The mountain was as aggressive as ever, it felt more like a giant living being than a still formation of rocks, it got extended from all angles lashing at everyone. As much as Alan tried to escape the hits, he couldn't outrun one of them, so he just closed his eyes and prayed he wouldn't break a bone. He heard the impact but did not receive the pain, when he shakingly opened his eyes, he saw that once again, the advanced Guenara rock shielded him in a sphere of protection. He didn't know how much the sphere could take, and he wasn't ready to find out either so he kept moving and the sphere circled him around. When they finally got all the way down, there were twelve tunnels. The mountain agitation stopped, but now they were in despair as to what to do, what are those tunnels for? Should they enter them?

Suddenly praying Terraformers came out of every tunnel, it was a full army of them, with what looked like their leader up front.

The elders and Alan were confused, did the Terraformers move the mountain? Do they live here? Is this where most of them have been hiding for years?

"Who do we have here? The three Tribakwiyan elders and another creature, this is almost like a dream come true

-who are you and what do you want?(Turbia)

-apologies for my poor mannerisms, I forgot to introduce myself, Boo, the current leader of the praying Terraformers

-were you the ones who agitated the mountain?

-of course we were, we also just learned a new skill, I like to call it atomic terraforming, we closed every single opening, no matter how small it was, in the mountain and the ground around it, which stopped the water droplets from forming to then water your, or should I say our, land

-say what now? Your land? (Alan)

-oh, these dirty renegading backstabbing heartless thieves never taught you some of their history? Well let me do it then

-by the power of the stone

May your words be gon..(Valenzia)"

Boo cut her off by trapping her and the other two elders in stone cones

"... I seem not to be the only one lacking manners.. how rude. As I was saying, let me walk you back, one hundred years ago: we were happily living in these lands, just like any other nation at that time. Tribakwiyans had no land, they were scattered all around the island, everyone welcomed them into their group, but no, these dirty, DIRTY creatures decided to unite and invade one of the lands to claim it as theirs, by killing most of the original habitats, forcing the rest into a miserable slavery environment, if you wanted to maintain your freedom, your only option is to escape, and see how long you'd be able to survive in the rural nature. Can you guess which nation they invaded? I think you could. That wall was built by us, the praying Terraformers, we could shape rocks in any shape we want, but we couldn't guarantee invincibility to those rocks unless we had access to a Guenara rock, which most of us did back then, but they killed and stole them from us.

As a last hope for life we escaped to the TerraFormaMountains, which they know call another, wrong, name. We got the time to think about how we could take them down, we just needed some missing stuff for execution, magic. Five days ago while walking through the beach at night, we observed Gwaxy and Guen coming out three days before their time, that was our opportunity, they have been completely out for five days, we collected three rocks and you got the other two

-but...but they come out twice a year?

-oh but they didn't this time, and now I have six spells, I already used one, four left, and I will make sure we retrieve our land with those four, today"

Finally Vanelzia's face came out of the rocks and she was able to speak

"Alan, help us! Come on!" She pleaded.

Alan suddenly felt lots of anger and resentment toward them, he clenched his fist and spoke

"So what Quintria told me about not being able to use another one's Guenara rocks was a lie? You stole lands, claimed them and killed their original citizens... how could you?" His Guenara rock started glowing, and he performed his first successful spell

"By the blessing of the father Boo

May the ground swallow all three of you

Never see the daylight

Go down, without a fight

The truth has been revealed and now my vision has been cleared, undisturbed view

Tables will turn, time to start another era, the old has become the new"

The ground fully swallowed the elders and put them way down, very deep down, then it closed the hole and they disappeared, left there to rot. The spell exhausted Alan so much he fainted, and when a spell ends spirits its rock disappears too, so his Guenara rock combusted and vanished.

"Take him to tunnel seven. Look after him until he wakes up. When he does tell me right away it, for now, we have a village to reclaim"

With the help of the Guenanra rocks the wall was successfully broken into, and the terraforming started:

All houses with no exception were destroyed, citizens were killed, some escaped, and those who stayed got chained and thrown into the community house of the village, the biggest one of them all, and the only one that wasn't destroyed, then a square shaped wall rose from the ground and surrounded the house, and although it took hours, it all seemed to happen so fast.

Next day, the Terraformers started rebuilding the place, the first thing they built was a prison for all captured Tribakwiyans, some praying Terraformers got also sent to retrieve the escaping ones.

Finally after two nights and three days Alan accumulated enough energy to regain the bare consciousness, his head was still spinning and his eyes were lightly open, he had blurry vision. The two guard looked at him and one of them rushed to go get Boo.

Upon his arrival, Alan spoke up

"Where-where am I? What? Who are..? What happened?"

-oh that first spell did a number on you didn't it? I want to thank you for what you did, we have been struggling for decades, centuries, going back and forth with them. Now they're underground, there are no more threats

-from the moment that Turbia started launching verbal attacks at me I started hating them. What is happening to the other citizens?

-what happened to us 100 years ago

-WHAT?

-some are escaping, some are dead, some are held in captivity, a little bit of everything.

-WHAT? WHY? why hurt innocent creatures?

-we didn't hurt them, they are safely in captivity

-but why not let them roam around free if they're harmless?

-because they never did that to us

-a wise man back in my univer-I mean island, a wise man back in my island used to say something along the lines of "an eye for an eye makes the world blind" you can't terrorize Tribakwiyans just because they terrorized you

-I can

-well, you can, but you shouldn't. You guys need to build a bond

-HA,HA,HA, A BOND, our story goes way before the last one hundred years, you don't get it, oaf, we'll never bond, it's like expecting Yin and Yang to merge, they were never meant to merge, and we were never meant to get along.

-well with this attitude and mindset you'll definitely remain this way. Time is meaningless if your mindset is not evolving...
