  About the Author

  Prologue

  “Trust me. We can have something to eat later. Now you have to follow me.”

  He didn’t seem to understand, but I didn’t want him to understand. Right now, I just wanted to get as far away as possible from that girl, and Jessie, and anyone. Honestly, I didn’t think I wanted to climb all these stairs just for Jay anymore.

  The way up seemed endless and sometime later, I could almost hear Jay’s disapproval. Well, he didn’t say anything but it was the way he breathed in and out and his attitude. It was like he was expecting me to go faster, or he even sometimes stretched his hand to help me. We stopped a couple floors before reaching the roof, taking a short break to catch our breath—well, so that I could catch my breath—when Jay started talking.

  “I thought you were upset earlier. Did something happen down there?” He still talked a bit loud, probably his ears were buzzing from the loud music.

  “No! I just want to get up there and show you something. That’s all!”

  “You don’t seem okay with it. It’s like you don’t want to be up here,” he suddenly said.

  “I do want to be here more that I want to be down there with that girl that tried to seduce you!”

  The words left my mouth before I had the time to stop. For a moment there, I hoped he hadn’t heard me, or he hadn’t understood what I said, but then he went on and said it.

  “Were you jealous?”

  Shit. Now I’ve done it. Well, you know what they say. Offense is the best defense.

&
nbsp; “Who? Me? Of her? Of course not. I just don’t like being around many people, that’s all. Now, are we going?”

  And before I had the chance move, his hand jolted forward and grabbed mine.

  “I don’t understand you, humans. Outside you were laughing and having fun, and inside you seem worse than me. If there’s a problem, please say something.”

  “No, of course there isn't a problem. I’m just head over heels in love with you and you don’t seem to have a clue.”

  Okay, Eladia, tell me you didn’t just say that. Oh, my god, I did say it.

  It was one of those times that my mouth ran faster than my head, and I said things I didn’t mean. But I kinda ended up saying them after all because they sounded better in my head at the time.

  Damn, damn, damn. I have no idea what I’m doing.

  He still held my hand, only this time, the heat from his skin traveled all the way to my face. I wished he came up with a witty comment, and then we could keep going up to the roof where the wind could wash away all my thoughts.

  Instead, he stared deep into my eyes, searching for something. I realized I stared back at him. My hand hurt now, and my heart had stopped beating. I breathed but only mechanically. Time had frozen, and I couldn’t do nothing but wait.

  Only that I couldn’t stop talking.

  “Please say something. I know it’s not like you, but please say something.”

  “When did this happen?”

  You’re kidding me, right?

  “I don’t know. It just sort of happened. Six months of traveling with you, never saying anything, always fighting you. I don’t know. Maybe that night, when you saved me and brought me to that lake? Yeah, that was the first time I felt more intimate towards you. And now I can’t stop talking.”

  I pulled my hand free and ran upstairs. I wanted to stop and see if he followed me, but I didn’t. Tears ran down my eyes, and I walked the last few steps blindly. I opened the door to the roof and the wind burst in behind me. My tears dried in moments, but I couldn’t stop my heart from racing.

  When I opened my eyes, the world was under my feet. I kinda thought the tragic irony of this place. Being so high yet so low right now. Something I had never accepted before was finally out in the open. I was in love with him, and now he knew it as well.

  So, when he walked behind me and grabbed my shoulders, I couldn’t feel anything but embarrassed. However, Jay had something else in his mind. He pushed me around gently, and he raised my chin with his free hand. In a moment’s notice, his head lowered, and he got closer and closer until his lips touched mine.

  Chapter One

  Eladia

  Leaving camp early was the first rule of every Chronicler, and I had just succeeded in breaking it. The loud buzzing of the vibrant life of Primordial Earth was both exciting and bothersome at the same time. Having just barely slept through the never-ending humming of the overgrown city forests, I was in a hurry.

  “Come on Silver. Don’t stay behind. We still have some way to go before we arrive,” I said, covering long strides of ground while in a hurry. And by long, I mean long enough for an average build woman like me to walk fast around the unearthed roots. I turned my focused eyes to watch my apathetic Android.

  “Yes, Eladia. I’m right behind you,” the metal woman uttered, her mechanical tunes giving off the same indifferent feeling.

  I couldn’t help but shake my head. Of all the assistants, I had to get chosen by the one with the advanced artificial intelligence.

  I, a Chronicler, and my partner Silver, the conveniently named robot, were chasing an important relic of the past. Chroniclers, like archeologists before us, were interested in cataloging and studying important historical events. Divided into many different majors, I was particularly interested in the extinct race of the Nusae and thus, I followed that particular way.

  However, today, I would rather have stayed back home, on the new human planet, Yaerus, than ran around on the primeval place called Earth. Even though my job as a Chronicler always led me to all sorts of interesting and rough places, Primordial Earth was probably one of the worst, certainly at the top five of my least-preferable places to be. And the next time a mosquito bit me, I was sure it would rise even higher on the list.

  I sighed and kept moving forward, checking around the decayed metal structures that humans used to build in the past. It must have been rough, building all those monstrosities. They were just plain ugly and impractical. Every destroyed building seemed like a gutted, gray giant, devoured by green and mossy plants. And yet, the beauty of it was unmatched.

  I stared at my watch, unable to remember if I had adjusted the time to fit the local system. “Silver, could you please remind me of Sol’s and Earth’s day/night cycles?”

  “For the third time since we landed, it’s 23,56 hours. And yes, you have already adjusted your watch even before we set up camp.”

  “You know, I’m your boss. You should show some respect every now and then,” I said in a mocking, annoyed tone.

  The android woman started cackling with short, electric sounds. “Well, if we finally find one Nusae artifact, I’ll make sure to reconsider.”

  I was in the middle of climbing atop what it seemed like an old, religious place, an ancient church. On the top of a stone pillar, I stopped to catch my breath.

  You shouldn’t have those snacks for breakfast Eladia.

  The wind up here was fresh and less humid than down on the ground, in the center of the wet forest. It caressed my face and swept away some of my fatigue.

  Earth was considered the Mother Planet of the human species, the third-ranked, Expanded Empire of the Known Galaxy. The stories still told for this place were numerous, but none did justice to the miracle called life. Everywhere my sight fell, a new color sprouted from the ground and all kinds of bugs and flying creatures dwelled the land.

  Bugs? I hated bugs.

  I turned and searched for my assistant, but Silver was still on the base of the leafy pillar.

  “For god’s sake, can you please change and come up here Silver? I can’t find the trail all by myself.”

  In what sounded like a monotonous cluck, the Android transformed into a small box equipped with thrusters, abandoning her feminine figure for the comfort of flying all the way to the top in a matter of seconds. I looked as she ascended with ease, holding myself back from having a long talk about responsibilities and professionalism. But still, I always forgot that Silver was bound by Asimov’s Laws of Robotics so that she would follow my every command even if she didn’t want to.

  With both of us finally standing on the top of the shattered pillar, I took out my flask full of water and took a long and satisfying sip. By the time I lowered my head, and tightened my ponytail so that my hair didn’t get in the way, Silver had changed back to her usual form.

  Some parts metal, other parts holographic, details that made her look like human, Silver seemed like a beautiful human, which was the complete opposite of me.

  “Okay, this should be high enough. Can you please run a scan on a five-mile radius? We should get some kind of reading from up here, not like yesterday.” We had already searched all the adjacent areas around our camp, except this one. It was getting late, however, and this was the last place in our list. Tomorrow we would venture deeper into the woods and change our camping site.

  This time, Silver seemed to lose some of her rebellious personality, and she lively followed my orders. A short string of beeps and laser lights traveled through the horizon. It would take some time for her to complete the analysis so I thought of recapping the information I already had about the Nusae relic.

  Back on Yaerus, during one of my lengthy visits to the Institute, the place where all human knowledge and archives were stored, I had just found something fascinating. While going through a source about the pre-colonization era of the Primordial Earth, I stumbled onto a testimony of some kind, on a newspaper about an object of unknown origins.

  The huma
n that testified about the object had seen nothing like it in his whole life, said ‘it vibrated like a living thing and changed shapes in a matter of seconds.”

  Nusae, the first of the Lost Species, were known for their cryptic technology, specifically what they currently knew as morphing. Silver, for example, used morphing technology to change into various and practical shapes that helped her achieve her goals easier. The schematics about this kind of technology were discovered back in the early days of Humanity’s Space Boom, making it one of the first complete and detailed info about the Nusae, until today.

  Yet, this source was one hundred years old. Bits and pieces were found around the galaxy during that time, but no one could link all the pieces to what it amounted as the Great Mystery. Nusae just vanished at the same time Orihans started to appear. And even though there was little to none Orihans around the known galaxy now, Nusae were close to legendise.
