Years ago, Gorg sat on a chair outside his house, facing the ground with a dead countenance while Marida stood in front of him with the baby wrapped on her back.
"You haven't said anything." Marida said.
Gorg's eyes rolls up at Marida which led Marida to avert her own eyes from Gorg while facing the ground.
"It... It has been 2 days now and you haven't said a single thing about what i told you." Marida said.
Hearing her words, Gorg stood up from his seat and enters his house.
"Gorg...!" Marida calls as she follows him into the house, "Gorg, wait! At least give me an answer!"
Just as Gorg was about to open the next door, he suddenly halts and rolls his eyes back at Marida.
"And what do you want me to say?" Gorg asked.
"I... I... At least anything."
"Okay." Gorg said as he turns around to look at Marida with a faint smile, "Okay, what about this, 'Thank you, Marida, for going out there and using our son to make a deal with 'What-should-not-be-named', how does that sound for you?"
"Gorg, i had no choice." Marida said.
"You had a choice and you made it." Gorg said, "And you made a terrible one."
"What would you have me do? Leave him to die?" Marida asked, "I can't! Something had to be done! Something had to be-!"
"Can you stop justifying yourself for one second, for just one second?" Gorg cuts in, "Marida, do you understand what you have done? Do you understand what you have created? You have unleashed the worst calamity that will soon take place and the worst part is that it will come from our son! Our own son!"
"I needed to save his life!" Marida said, "We've tried many things and none of them worked! I couldn't stand there and lose my fourth child!"
"And you think i was going to stand back and let it happen?!" Gorg angrily asked, "You think i was going to stop at 'We tried everything'?! In case you have forgotten, he is my son, too, and i'll be damned if i gave up on him and let him die.
I was prepared to search the Earth for a cure but to go this far..."
"Marida..." Gorg said as he sat on the ground with a saddened demeanor, "I don't know how to process this. I'm so scared and frightened."
"Gorg..." Marida called softly.
"Its only a matter of time before they learn what truly happened." Gorg said.
"They won't find out." Marida said, "Our baby... He can still-"
"You honestly believe that he can live a normal life like the others?" Gorg cuts in, "Hunt with them? Play with them? He has that creature's Kan flowing within him! He has become the other half of that thing which makes him a danger to everyone, both minor and major.
They will discover what he is... What he has become and then they'll kill him."
"I won't let them." Marida said with a firm look.
"It's not like the Stormwinds could get rid of him anyway since he has Kan." Gorg said, "If they find out what truly happened, they'll simply take him from us and send for someone from a major tribe to kill him."
"You'll let them kill your own son?" Marida asked.
"I didn't say i'll let them do anything." Gorg replied, "I'm just torn. I'm torn because i don't want to see my son die but i don't want to feel responsible for the death of billions."
"Gorg..." Marida called softly.
"Marida, there is a reason why we the Stormwinds were guarding over the accursed place you went. You know our tribe's past and yet you still went there. How could you? I usually trust your judgement but now I'm..."
Gorg covers his face with both arms and sighed.
"I truly don't know what to do."
This moment was interrupted as the baby wrapped behind Marida's back began to cry. Marida gently unwraps the baby and placed him in her arms.
"Shhhh..." Marida said while cuddling him, "It's alright, little one. It's alright."
While Marida was carrying him, Gorg walks beside her and gazed at his baby. In the act of staring at the baby, Gorg smiled as the baby stretched forth his tiny hand towards Gorg and Gorg responds by placing his index finger on the baby's palm.
"He has your eyes and your face." Gorg said.
"And he has your smell." Marida said with a smile as her eyes rolls towards Gorg, "Gorg, i'm sorry for dragging our child into this. I'm sorry for dragging you into this as well.
I was just..."
"It doesn't matter." Gorg replied, "We'll find a way to deal with this situation. We are family, after all."
"Then perhaps i can be of assistance." A masculine voice said.
Gorg and Marida turns and sees the person to be Roku.
Back at Keigra as Onak was walking alone in the streets, he sights a couple of children playing football (soccer) while laughing.
"Wait, pass to me!" A male child said.
"Pass to me! Pass to me!" Another male child said.
This moment made Onak remember his younger self laying on a garden while watching a caterpillar crawling on a leaf.
"Why can't he have a life like the other Graundar children?!" A feminine voice sounded, "How long will our son be ostracized from the Graundar community?!"
Hearing this, Onak's eyes rolls sideways and sights within the windowpane of a house, a man and woman in the shadows, arguing with each other.
"You think i wanted this?! You honestly think i wanted this?!" The man asked, "I want to train him, let him mix up with the others but his Kan causes him to be highly unstable and dangerous.
Why can't you understand that Onak is a danger to everyone including himself?!"
Hearing this, Onak resumes watching the caterpillars crawl on the leaves. While still walking in the streets, 15 year old Onak recalls as he (in his current 15 year old state who happened to be wearing a white brief) was in a cave and was wriggling in pain while being surrounded by a group of people in white cloak.
"You will obey me, monster!" One of them with a feminine voice said as she stretched forth her glowing hand which made the light around Onak's neck glow brighter, increasing Onak's agony in the process.
Another flashback occurs as current 15 year old Onak was sitting on the ground of a white leafed forest while Zera stood and was staring down at him.
"What is it you want from me?!" Onak angrily asked, "What the hell am i to you?!!"
"Someone who is just like me." Zera replied, "Someone whose Kan highly affects their behavior and because of that, they are feared by others and unable to cope with society.
Your Kan doesn't match that of a human... Just like me, so why don't you stay so that i can help you?"
However, Onak grunts at Zera's request which made Zera stare down at him with a raised brow.
"Okay, how about this: If i win this fight, then you'll stay but if you win then you are free to do whatever you want which includes leaving."
A few minutes later, a large rift was on the ground along with Onak laying unconscious on it.
"Looks like it's my win." Zera said with a smile as smoke was flowing out of her outstretched fist.
After remembering those moments, Onak suddenly stopped as he noted a presence behind him which turned out to be a long black haired man with bushy brows, standing beside a black haired teenage girl with bushy brows as well.
"What do you want?" Onak asked.
"We want to thank you for saving us back there." The man said, "If it weren't for you, the intruder would have killed me and my daughter."
"Yeah... Whatever. Just leave me alone." Onak said as he resumes walking away.
"Is there anyway we can repay you?" The girl asked, "Just say it and we'll do it."
"Just give me some peace and quiet." Onak replied while still walking away.
The response from Onak, made the girl and her father to glance at each other in confusion.
Meanwhile, back at Alak, a Ripar placed the handcuffed Yorall on his seat while a black haired Graundar man with a shave on the side of his head, walks in and sits on his own chair.
Kyra, who happened to standing beside Shizon while gazing down at the two through the transparent wall, widened her eyes in shock.
"What's he doing here?" Kyra asked.
"Hm? You mean Borp?" Shizon asked, "What's wrong with him being here?"
"You don't know him like i do." Kyra replied, "This man is extremely dangerous and he is the wrong person to interrogate Yorall."
"I don't know, he seemed like a nice person to me." Shizon said.
"That's because you just met him." Kyra said, "No, no, no. This can't be happening. Of all the people to send, they had to bring a mentally unbalanced person to do the interrogation."
" Shizon!" Kyra called, prompting him to turn and look at her, "When things get ugly or are about to, i need you and the other minors to get the hell away from here."
"Weren't you the one that was confident in the defense of this building?" Shizon asked, "Even this transparent wall we are looking through, is actually a barrier."
"Shizon, this isn't the time to argue." Kyra replied, "Just get the other minors prepared. If i'm to give a few words concerning this guy, is that he barks and bites.... Alot."
Down at where Borp and Yorall were sitting, Borp was tapping his fingers on the table while smiling at Yorall (who happened to be staring at the table).
"Greetings, friend." Borp said, "I am Borp of the Graundar tribe."
Yorall, however, ignores Borp and continues staring at the table.
"I heard you are the headmaster of the Tall order Pilgrim academy." Borp said while still smiling, "You know, a relative of mine is there and i'll have to say, it is an honor speaking with you.
Anyway, since you are not in the mood for some chitchat, i'll just explain why i am here. You see, i learnt you lost mind and later recovered it, so I'm here to interrogate you and find out what's up, so that i can relay the information to my superiors.
Your cooperation would make it easier for the both of us, don't you think?"
"I saw it all..." Yorall said.
"Hm?" Borp said with a raised brow.
"The people... The destruction that would take place..." Yorall said, "Time..."
"Is our enemy..." Yorall said as he raised his head.
"Wow! Looks like you've still lost your mind." Borp said with a smile.
"I saw Agaroth destroyed..." Yorall said, "All the people, all the men, women and children, laid on the ground dead while some of the corpses were thrown into the water while some not even a corpse to be laid or thrown. But there was more; something worse than the destruction of Agaroth... It came like a storm, wiping out all that was in it's path, leaving not a single star or world left in the universe.
It's real and it's going to happen very soon."
"Ooohh, that was quite engaging. Tell me more." Borp said as part of his face was covered in shade while his left eye completely glowed.
"I heard a voice after the destruction." Yorall said, "Beware of the one in white, for he shall be the fall of many.
This is the information. Now i've told you everything i know, i need you to relay this message to your superiors."
"Woah... I'm shocked..." Borp said with widened eyes.
Borp suddenly bursts out in laughter, catching Yorall slightly off guard.
"I'm shocked you could bring up such bullsh*t and expect me to relay it to my superiors." Borp said.
"You think this is a joke?" Yorall asked, "Why do you think we reopened the Junior Pilgrim program? We are trying as much as we can to get as many hands on deck to solve what's truly happening and to stop what's coming and now i'm telling you about my vision that goes beyond Agaroth and you are laughing?"
"Are you f**king kidding me?!" Borp asked with a mocking smile, "Agaroth is the strongest nation to ever exist and there is no way all life can be destroyed just like that!
Plus, beware the one in white?! Anyone can be in white! I have a guy in this building, dressed in white whom i'm about to beat his ass after this interrogation for owing me twelve pieces of gold and refusing to pay up! Your vision is just a result of you still being insane!"
"If you are not going to relay this information to your superiors then let me." Yorall said.
"I'm sorry, i can't do that." Borp said, "I was told to extract information from you and give it to them and that's what i'm going to do."
"I already told you all i know." Yorall said.
"Then i'll just go back and tell them that you're still not in your right mind." Borp said with a smirk.
"You would endanger everyone because of your disbelief?" Yorall asked.
"I'm not endangering anyone. You're the one who is a danger to himself." Borp said.
"Let me out of here." Yorall said with a stern look.
"You don't seem to understand." Borp said with a stoic expression, "You're only getting out of here when you have proven to be mentally cleared and when i say so."
At that moment, Shizon and Kyra shivered from a sudden pressure they felt when gazing down at the two.
"What the hell...?" Kyra asked.
"You felt it too, right?" Shizon asked as his eyes rolls towards her.
"Wow, that's one chilling pressure you've got there. Itching for a fight?" Borp asked as his irises glowed.
"I'm getting out of here." Yorall said while emitting a blazing aura along with his irises glowing.
"You want to test that theory?" Borp asked with a deepened voice while emitting a menacing aura as he carried an evil countenance along with his eyes completely glowing.
"Uh oh." Shizon said.
"Yeah, things are about to get ugly." Kyra said.
"You know what? Screw this." Borp said as he brought out his right hand pressed the red button of the device he was holding.
"Attention! Attention! All defences of this building has been turned off!" A feminine robot voice sounded while the transparent wall in front of Kyra and Shizon, turned blue and vanished.
"What's he doing?!" Shizon asked.
"Who the hell gave this madman the control of this building's defenses?!" Kyra asked.
"Since you are so confident that you could escape, why don't you go ahead and try...?" Borp said as he stood from his chair.
"...If you can, that is." Borp said as his irises glowed while smiling devilishly.
