             - Hello everyone!Hazel exclaimed as he entered the apartment, along with Baxter, Charlie, Roger and Ray.

- And we have a surprise for you!Baxter shouted, leading Ray out of the hallway and into the hall.

There was silence in the hall. Everyone who was there looked at Ray in surprise.

- Oh, you're our new friend..- Jane was the first to come to her senses, and ran up to Ray, shook his hand.- I am Jane, Ruler of the World of Mind and Improvisation. Listen, you look like Hazel in some way...

- Because it's my brother.Hazel said, coming out of the shadows of the corridor.

And again there was silence.

And again, Jane saved the situation:

- Oh, cool.- she said, and invited the friends who came to sit on the sofa.

When everyone was sitting on the couch, Hazel gathered his thoughts and began to tell his story with Ray:

- We and our village have always lived in an Afterlife-crystal World. Our father and our mother were the Rulers of this world, and always tried to please the inhabitants. Our village consisted only of people like Ray and me, and the crystals and skeletons lived in the cave that became my home after...Hazel took a deep breath. It was hard for him to remember this, but he continued-...after this village disappeared forever. It happened 243 years ago, when I was 7 years old and Ray was about 15. On this day, everything was as usual, teenagers worked in the garden, helping their parents and the whole village, children played, and adults worked for my father and mother. And it was during the day that unknown people attacked our village. They burned it... No one else managed to escape.....

When Hazel finished his story, everyone was silent, and pondered what they had heard. And Hazel himself was silent. It was still hard for him to take it in.

- Hazel.... I'm sorry...Jeremy said, putting his hand on his shoulder.

Jane covered her face with her hands and cried. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but their path was interrupted by palms.

After 10 minutes, everyone calmed down, and Hazel decided to tell Ray everything about their plan:

"So, Ray, as you can see, we're all from other worlds. We got together because people like us have to stick together. Also, we have one problem.

- Which one?Ray asked.

- In the Afterlife-crystal world, we saw activity on Roger's device. And this is clearly not something good.

- Why do you think that?Hazel's brother asked.

- Because there has already been something in our world with you, and we cannot say that this time the activity will be good, because the device detected the "power of the worlds". And it seems to me that we all know what "the power of the worlds" means in this case. But I want to say that if this happens again, we will not be able to defeat them. You helped us to cope with one of the larnats, and my strength seems to be enough to deal with street villains.

- But... You have a big "power of worlds"...Ray drawled.

- That's the thing, it's the power of the WORLDS.Hazel highlighted the last word.- It is on Earth that the power of other worlds weakens.

"Then how did Larnat get here?"Jeremy asked.

- He didn't get in, but someone dragged him here. And his powers have also weakened, if he were in another world, he would have eaten us in the first second.
