When a machine is tasked, It does it's best to accomplish. This one is tasked to stop reality from shattering apart.
Little did they know they were about to face a new journey they haven't been on before...
Will they make new friends or face new fo...
Voxle and the group created a small camp, they were lucky Elliott brought the camping gear with them. Meanwhile inside the tent were Jay and Elliott talking to each other.
Jay: "It's summer, right?"
Elliott: "Yup."
Jay: "Well why isn't it... Sunny?"
Elliott: "I don't know but nature sure knows how to make things dramatic."
Right after Elliott said that a loud clap of thunder was heard, the sudden sound shook Jay in fear a little.
Jay: "Nature does alright..."
Elliott: "Haha. You should sleep now, I'm just gonna check on the others. Might as well have a small chat with the other two protogens."
Jay: "Alright, See you later."
Elliott exits the tent. The tent was green and outside there was another tent but it was blue and also a small campfire that was recently extinguished.
Elliott: "I wonder how they do that."
Elliott walks in the blue tent and saw the purple protogen already asleep while the yellow one was reading papers and muttering in their language.
Elliott: "Hey uh... My name's Elliott, nice to meet you."
Zyphon: "English?"
Elliott: "Yeah, I speak English but not the language you were speaking earlier, I don't know what language that is really."
Zyphon gestures Elliott to wait for a moment and their visor shows a loading bar. After a few seconds their visor goes back to their usual face.
Zyphon: "Sorry about that, had to collect some data. My name is Zyphon, a friend of Voxle. I'm sure you know them right?"
Elliott: "Yea i do. Speaking of Voxle where is he?"
Zyphon: "He?"
Elliott: "Ah right, I kind of gave them a pronoun. Do protogens have genders?"
Zyphon: "They can. After associating with other species we picked up a few traits from them. Genders, body parts that help adapt to the environment, and some other stuff."
Elliott: "Oh that's neat. If you had a gender what would you think it'd be?"
Zyphon: "I assume it'd be male."
Elliott: "Oh and who's the purple one?"
Zyphon: "This is Yuni, One of Voxle's siblings."
Elliott: "He has siblings?"
Zyphon: "Yeah his older sibling helped create them along with their original creator. Yuni told me about it."
Elliott: "Hey is it okay if I ask what you were reading earlier?"
Zyphon: "Just some old files about my origin and my original purpose. Like how and why I can do this."
Zyphon flicks their claw to create a small fire, small enough to not set the tent in fire. They put it out after a few seconds.
Elliott: "What was... Your original purpose?"
Zyphon sighs and looks at the lab coat he brought along. Wearing it reminds him of what he did and the promise he'll never do it again.
Zyphon: "I was meant to be a killing machine. But after the genocide I had back in the lab I realised, was killing people really worth it? Just seeing life end at my own hands disgust me."
Zyphon: "*sigh* If you are scared of me, I understand. Just want you to know that im not the same protogen I was meant to be."
Elliott: "Oh... I'm sorry for asking-"
Zyphon: "No, no it's okay. It's nice to have a little chat like this sometimes. Really lifts some weights off my shoulders. But you should go now, we have a long trip ahead of us."
Elliott: "Well then, Goodnight. It was nice talking to you."
Zyphon: "Goodnight, buddy."
Elliott walks out of the tent and remembers he was supposed to look for Voxle. He looked around the place and saw Voxle sitting under a tree. Elliott approached them and sat beside him. The tree's leaves acted as cover from the rain but some raindrops still drip by.
Elliott: "Hey..."
Voxle just looks at Elliott but no response. Elliott remembers he can't speak and forgot he left his phone in one of the bags.
Elliott: "Great view huh."
Voxle closes their eyes and nods in approval.
The tree was near the edge of a cliff. Beyond the cliff there was a huge forest, illuminated by the bright moon.
Elliott: "I should head back now. You coming?"
Voxle stands up and nods.
Elliott: "Alright let's go back."
The two walk back to the camp. Voxle walks in the blue tent and Elliot returns to the green one.
Elliott: "What an evening."
Elliott lays down on their sleeping bag and closes their eyes.
Short chapter for this week (or next week depending where you're from)
Honestly it's kinda nice to make a calm chapter after the last one. Kind of short but felt nice.
Anyways that's all for today and this week (again, depending on your timezone.) I have tests coming up so I might have a little writer's block after it.
Have a great day and here's a crappy drawing of Zyphon

(my friends said he looks like Naruto but furry and to be honest. He kind of does and I dunno if its because of the color scheme or the lab coat. Might be both)
Alright see ya.
Edit: forgot to add the pic in the beginning, sorry for the update notification
