Competition

I urged Oliv and Veronica to wait for me for a second so I could chat to the man.

Staring at The Lord in disbelief, I questioned, "Wait. If they gave the serum to Zytherians, then how did you obtain it? You have no way to move through clusters physically, you said?"

The Lord then went on to explain, "They did give the serums to the Zytherians, but one of The Architects took one of the serums and delivered it to me. He claimed it was under specific instructions from his superior. Moreover, he warned me not to disclose the purpose of Somnus Veri to the person who takes it, or the bearer would face severe side effects."

Perplexed, I pressed further, "Why are they called The Architects?"
