EARTH 2

beyond

"you called?" the creature who now goes by dean answered.

"yes i did, did you go to earth in the the past millennium?" lara asked dean with a calm and almost emotionless tone of voice.

Hearing the sudden question, dean had a look of surprise oh his dark and almost misty face, the lack of most facial features would make it almost impossible to tell what kind of emotion he was showing, but to lara whose draconic eyes could see the foundation of everything, it was clear as day.

"yes, i have visited that planet" he replied then asked "is something wrong there?" he questioned.

"yes, some of your energy is on that planet and zuzu told me to let you handle it and not let the planet get erased" she stated as a matter of fact.

"i see so that's the reason, alright ill take care of it" he stated, ignoring her indifferently cold tone.

After the conversation was finished cracking and shattering sounds became prevalent again as space distorted and a dark portal was formed again, taking one last look at the giant structure where zuzu was, he turned and walked through the portal and went back to his world.

Seeing that dean had left, lara who was now alone couldn't help but think about the events that had occured in this short while,.

On the planet of Dean........

Exiting the portal, dean who finished his talk had a strange thought in his mind [she's changed a bit, she was more colder and indiferent than usual, could this be his influence on her, but then, what will come of the rest of us, will we become cold and distant towards everything as what happened in the past?]

While speaking to himself in a daze, a beautiful woman with red skin and black eyes that look like a void came forward with two others behind, "my lord" she said as she bowed, "what orders do you have for us to obey?"

Hearing the female voice broke dean out from his trance of thinking and analyzing and he looked up at them, "ahhh, my flowers of flame, you came at a good time, i need you to send someone to earth to gather up the energy i left there"

He said, looking at the three beautiful women with dazzling red skins, not only are there skin red but they have crowns of horns upon their heads, making them look regal like any true monarch.

Hearing deans words, they bowed again and said "as you command, lord"

After they left, there were many things that were going through his mind, things that only he knew.

Somewhere in Antarctica......

When he reached the object, a subtle heat emerged from it, making the cold environment warm while the energy particles slowly seeped into the man through his skin, strengthening his body, making it durable enough to not be burned by fire or frozen by the snow and able to withstand the crushing force of the deep.

His blood started pumping more and his eyes became clear as if he is just seeing the world for the first time.

"what....is this?" he asked to no one in particular, astonished about his body and clear mind, his trembling facade was gone and all that was left was a confused man.

Picking up the orb and looking at it intensely, trying to see if anything else will happen, he had lost his fear of it and now only curiosity remained.
