    Meanwhile somewhere else, the Abrasax siblings met up to have a little... chat. The planet had blue sand, building, bridges, futuristic cars, and was completely deserted. "What was the name of this planet" Kalique asked her longer haired, softered featured younger brother.

    "Zalintyre, I think" Titus responded then was quick to change the question. "Have you ever seen a harvest?" He asked a little quieter as he looked at his sister.

    "Oh no. Never" She responded sternly keeping her focus forward then continued. "But I've heard they feel no pain" she takes a small breath. "It's all quite humane from what I've been told" she finished smiling to herself then turning to her brother, which he took as his que to start.

    "Well there are marshals and administrators to make sure everything is done according to code, but still, it could be rather... affecting," He says slightly emphasising the last word.

    "Now you sound like mother" Kalique said with a little bit of venom, Titus turned to her but before he could say anything a noise sounded from his right, causing them both to see the oldest Abrasax sibling joining the conversation from a small portal.

    "Most of them were miserable in their lives, and what we do for them is mercy." He smiled slightly, fully stepping in front of his younger siblings. Titus bows

    "Balem thank you for responding. We were just admiring this ledger from the latest success." Titus states then looks back at Balem, "good job brother." He concludes.

    "The house of Abrasax continues to thrive" Balem slightly smiles. "Despite the squandering of your inheritance, brother." Balem spites back turning back to look at his brother, Titus isn't too pleased with his brother's snude remarke however.

    "I must say, you're looking a little worse for wear." He says with a little smirk looking Balem up and down. "Could it be success does not agree with you?" He continues to smirk at his remark.

    Balem smiles "and you look so well, could it be that failure agrees with you." Titus turned his face, his smile turning into one of slight hurt.

    "You may have inherited Mother's head for business but I inherited her heart." Titus says smiling, turning to his sister, "and what does that leave me?" She asks with a small smile, her younger brother smiles upon her "her beauty" he states.

    She gives him a twisted look, "liar" she smiles. "Her smile" he responds, his sister's smile turning into a frown before she spoke. "Her unluckiness in love?" She says sadly, "her fetish for wrinkles'' Titus says causing the two of them to lightly laugh, Balem however, was not amused.


    Well, if this is to be another one of your eulogies, Titus, I have more important matters to attend." Balem says starting to turn away until Titus starts again.

    "It was her birthday recently. You know I get sentimental, and I was going through mothers old sheve-work, and I came across a description of a planet, she claimed was the most rare and beautiful estate she ever owned." Titus explained turning to his sister to see her quite confused expression, but a few seconds later it turned into a smile. "I believed she named it..." Titus started as Balem finished, "Earth" Titus looked up at him knowing he was right.

    "Earth. It was part of your inheritance, wasn't it brother?" Balem just stared blankly at his younger brother. "I was quite moved by her description, and I was wondering if there was any chance you might be willing to part with it." Balem tilts his head with a look of disbelief but before he could answer Kalique beat him to it.

    "Titus, didn't you bother to look at the sheaves? That planet is worth more than all your estates combined" She smiled at him.

    "Really? I had no idea" Titus responded, turning to Balem trying to act surprised not doing a very good job at it. Balem just slowly turned to his sister "Kalique" she looked up at him "Balem" she replied, he looked between his two siblings, turned and touched the chip on his neck and transported through a portal away from them.
