The Inner Zone

It's been a week since the reunion of both siblings. After a great feast hosted by Zachary, he had given Zain two weeks' break from his duties. Zoe was casually spending her time with Zain who showed her around.

"You still haven't told me why you changed your name," Zoe said, walking beside him.

"Well, uhh, actually he was the one that gave me the name." Zack muttered, his hands behind his back. "So how are you enjoying your stay," he asked.

"It's fine, this place is so grand and huge," she uttered. The tall buildings which rose to the sky, the levitating constructs serving as transport to places, everything felt so surreal.

Zoe had gone through a complete change after a week here. Her cheerful spirit was back again.

"So dad, mom and Dalux are dead," Zain muttered with a sad expression. "And you're the only family I have left," he said, clenching his fist tightly. "I had the strength yet I was unable to protect my family, I'm a failure."
