Chapter 37

  "What do you mean human?" Asked Adam, as he looked up at his captor.

  The creature smiled at him he moved towards him, "I know you are Human. And i know what one is as well." He stated in a matter of fact tone of voice. He wasn't lying, or at least it didn't seem that way, but there was clearly something he wasn't saying.

  Adam stood up and walked towards his captor. He was within two feet of him when the guards swiftly subdued him. They grabbed both of his arms and held him in an upright armlock. They did not want to risk them hurting "Master". He looked up again, "Tell me what you mean!" He demanded. He wanted answers. No more hidden secrets or mysteries of the world. He demanded to know what he meant. He was tired of not knowing anything in this world.

  The creature looked down at him, like a human looks down on an ant, and laughed. He laughed a hearty kind of laugh. He was amused. No one had ever demanded something from him before. He was impressed.

  "I'll explain then." He began to explain everything, "Many years ago there was a war. The Formation War. Men, women and children were all hit by the bombs that changed us. A few of us changed into the form you see now. But, that was the start of this. Not the end."

  Adam listened intently. He nodded throughout the entire explanation. He knew some of it after all.

  "The lower humans were being oppressed by the higher ones. We fought back but that started the war. Many casualties happened along the way." He stopped, and turned away for a moment, "But i was the one who caused it. I was known as Charles."

  Adam looked on in shock. How was that possible?
