Chapter Thirteen

Our lives became happier. Steven called again. And we had to go down to the hall to reply. But it was fun. We explored the settings. Changed some defenses. Well, we actually added a lot more than we altered. An advanced dome surrounds Zonex which we can turn it on or off. If it's on, it'll be visible and prevents entering or leaving. And when it's off, it'll disappear. Cool right? But even when it's off, no one we have not given permission can enter. We experimented that on Tazanna. About the infected, we turned on the dome and released immunisation gas while we and Danther hid underneath. Danther covered the hole with rocks while that happens. And afterwards, we only found dead bodies. All the infected died for real this time. And we buried them in an empty plot of land suitable for a graveyard. It was a lot of work. Anyways, Steven called to inform that all the countries approved of our connection. And they were sending a group of officers and agents on a spaceship to discuss on the matters of our enemy. In other words, to serve justice and prevent more wars.

We also found out that everything under the system of the government was no longer working when a lot of people showed up at Zonex's entrance. They came with their family. And we let them in. But also with the condition that they would help us rebuild the city. Danther was obviously the main highlight. And one year later, the whole centre was as grand as ever. Right from the city hall, all the way to the fifth junction. North, south, east and west, all were completed. All that's left were a few more suburban areas and other further residential zones. People moved here. Even some from Earth, Mars or other planets. The officers and agents arrived a few months after the approval was announced and Willie Williams and everyone that was still loyal to him were apprehended and were brought to a different planet, so much smaller, a planet that was inhabited specifically to hold criminals. They even named the planet Prison. The Jaxs were given the opportunity to repent. But they were not given the rights to rule and can only live as common folks. It's funny how Dustromedian turned out to be. How my life changed in just months. A whole planet under the ruling of children. We still go to school. But we were required to go to a private one. With very smart teachers. With very few and very rich students. However, the officers can't do anything about Hayden. Firstly was because we still can't figure the exact location where it is. Because the possibilities of the coordinates to the entrance is just so many. But anyway, they aren't our problem. They have not been interfering for years. So the other bloodline has to wait.

I'm thirteen now. So is Fayre, Norman, Orion and Tazanna. Michael's fourteen. And there's never a day that we won't spend time together, strengthening our relationship and remembering the past. We took every single day as a step for us to be closer to one another and be a better human. By the way, Michael confessed that he likes Tazanna. We have advisors though, courtesy of Steven. And they strongly reject the idea. They said we were all still very young. Although they rejected a lot of our ideas for Zonex. Mostly because we were giving immature ideas. What do they expect? We're children! But I often use my legitimate power and set to do whatever I intended to do. But I'm not stubborn all the time. We all listen as well. Just what we truly want we do. Like decorating every building with banners displaying Danther. Reason of their reject is immature and ugly. I don't care! It's just decoration! Not something for the future of the city! I just can't stop laughing with the rest when everytime we meet after school and talk about all the funny things we experienced on that day. It's just so peaceful now. I'm thankful.

Yes I am. I'm grateful.
