I started getting pulled into the black void created by lady Isabella.
For a second I thought she was a really kind and caring person but I guess I was wrong. She didn't even bat an eyelid when she cast this black void portal under me.

I didn't expect things to escalate to such a state.
The next second the void that appeared under my feet started pulling me from within. I couldn't even fight back as there was a formidable force.

"And for the love of God, not another black void," I shouted to myself as I descended deep in the pitch-black void.

Having experienced roaming in the black void for hundreds of years, such pitch-black environments aren't really my favorite place to be.

Where the heck am I heading to?
To a jail cellar? Slaughterhouse? Or am I just sent to some black void yet again?
Is this the end?

As I was pondering what to do next, suddenly a light emerged below my feet.
The next thing I knew I was standing on some concrete ground.


"What the hell-" I said to myself as I saw the ceremony train in front of me.

"Wait, am I outside the train?" I asked myself.

I was standing on a sturdy platform made of concrete.
In front stood the enormous wagon brown in color with the sign engraved with the word B5- 7 engraved on it. That was our wagon.

I looked around to see that the train had halted here for some reason.
And I even saw a few rail guards standing at the platform not far from where I was.

For some reason, these rail guards were giving me this nasty stare.

At first, I was puzzled but then I noticed Moses and his friends also beside me sitting on the floor. They still had those soiled pants on them. No wonder they were looking at me with a weird stare.

I quickly backed away from this bunch and closed my nose,
"You guys really need to get your shit together... and I mean it in a literal sense."

But not to my surprise Moses and the bunch didn't even react.
The boys were all shaken to the core.
Some had lifeless eyes while some shook like a trembling leaf.
At least all of them were awake now.

Before I could check where I was, I heard a cry.

"Henry!"
"Roswald, what happened."
"Mark, is that you?"
"Moses!"

A sudden cry attracted my attention.
What I saw was a couple of grown-ups hurrying to our position.

They were all a couple of grown-up pairs who hurried towards these terrified kids.
They were none other than the parents of these kids as per my guess. Seeing their kids in such a state had given them a fright.

"Moses! What the hell happened to you? Did you pee yourself again." shouted Mose's mom.

Moses father glanced at me for a second before turning his attention to his son again,
"He looks just fine. On your feet, Moses. We need to grab a change of new clothes, then I want a detailed report of what happened."

Moses seeing his parents burst into tears,
"Mother!"

"Hey! Don't come closer, or you might stain my clothes. I don't know what happened but I am still glad you are okay."

"Mom! Dad! Waah!" wailed out loud Moses.

It wasn't just Moses the rest of the brats were also tearing up.
Only I was the only brat that wasn't weeping with the rest of them.

I just quietly backed away before their parents started questioning me about what happened.
"Benji!" suddenly a familiar voice filled with concern called out to me.
