KAI

After leaving Laura's room, who falls asleep as soon as she gets on her bed. I go my room and stop in front of the TV, I press the on button. The screen turns on, showing my sister or rather the AI version of my sister, Kaia upgraded the AI and gave it her face. "Welcome, Kai Stark." It says and the screen goes black before the TV shifts forward and the wall behind it opens, scarping against the ground, revealing a secret elevator I installed the day I bought this place.

I walk behind the TV and step inside the elevator. The door closes and the ride begins. This elevator only goes to the underground station that no one knows about. When the door opens, I sigh before getting off. It's been a while since I've been down here. Everywhere has been going well. Earth has been quiet but with Laura here, it's only a matter of time before others comes. And when that times comes, I don't think I'll be able to protect Earth, I barely hold my own with Laura.

The LED lights begins to fill the room until the whole place is dancing in bright light. "Welcome, Kai Stark." The voice welcomes me to the place I control everything. This is where I overlook everything.

"Hello, Kaia. How have you been?" I ask and take a seat on the swivel chair that's in the middle of the monitors.

"Very good sir. Do you want me to contact your sister?" It asks. One would think I'm used to having an AI that has my sister's voice and also has her name. Kaia names her Kaia 2.0 and her latest update was making the AI be more of a being than a machine.

"No. Why wasn't I informed about the arrival of El-Laura-El?"

"My apologies sir. The El-Sah-El Di Hipsodat isn't supposed to be in Earth. Her travels wasn't planned. What do you need sir?"

Kaia 2.0 knows Laura and the fact that the AI referred to her as El-Sah-El is something.

"I want to know everything there is to know about Di Hipsodat and Kaia, I mean everything fucking thing you can finding including what their sky and plants are like."

Kaia 2.0 takes a minute to gather the informations I need and it begins to tell with images showing on the monitor. The first to appear is something that resembles bed of crystals but not quite. I wait for Kaia 2.0 to explain what it is before I ask questions.

The image is in fact the sky that covers the entire realm. Crystalline sky. Their sky is what's shielding them from the sun and moon, so normally they won't see sun or moon with their eyes. It continues to tell me all about the plants they have, everything green on the realm is edible and touchable but every other plants are dangerous.

"What's the time like there?" I ask and add, "compared to Earth."

"I estimated a thousand years on Earth to a day in Di Hipsodat. At this current time, it appears that the realm is past and future in comparison to Earth. Past in the sense that they use the beast of burden as means of transportation. Future in sense that their technology is more advanced than Earth.

Di Hipsodat is located somewhere in the Galaxy, I can't pinpoint the exact location because of the closure of The Gateway into the realm, which is also known as The El gates. The creatures in the realm are humanlike and animals. There are two races, namely Elians, the royal family, and Darians, the rest of the citizen, which are mostly referred to as Lesser beings."

It continues to tell me everything from the class system to family structure to what's sacred, and I notice The Dran is part of what's sacred.

Magic is banned, and anyone caught practicing except some certain people is death penalty. El-Gar-El, The High Priestess, and The Three witches of the Golden. Laura's name isn't listed but she has powers maybe not magic.
