As we kept walking we noticed the dirt below us become more and more loose, we decided to go around the marked path. We then got lost.

"Where are we, where are we even going?!" Squeaked Slim.

I couldn't lie to her, i couldn't make her feel safe especially now that Mort was no longer with us, she broke through my thoughts.

"Leban!" Her voice was becoming frustrated " Where are we going?! We have been walking for what feels like years!!!"

"Don't you see that I'm trying! Don't you see that we're all trying!?" I lashed back at her.

"No your not trying! Your the one who got us lost in the first place! What's with you!? Have you just given up, are YOU A COWARD NOW!? DID YOU FINALLY DEC-"

Before she could even finish her sentence she was sucked into the ground.

"SLIM!!! CRAP SMAT MOVE AWAY!"

But before Smat could move away he to was sucked underground.

I ran.

I ran as far as my legs could take me, but the giant crater was to fast for me to out-run.

I to was sucked into the ground.

I was falling fast i knew I was don't for, i closed my eyes and began to think"

" A fall from this height?! Slim and Smat... ill meet them at the bottom"

Just as I was about to hit the floor i stopped. I was floating right above the floor.

"what the hell is this?"

I opened my eyes, and took a good look around.

Taucs. hundreds, no THOUSDANDS of Taucs. And Helfers. Slim and Samat were sitting right below me, and i was slowly put on the ground.

An elderly Tauc approached us.

"Greetings" He must have seen me grow worried of the Helfers in the room because he then said "Don't worry about them, they are sick of being used and abused by the Bose. What were you three doing up there? You could've gotten killed! Or worse lead a Bose right to the rebellion!"

I was confused.

"Rebellion? What do you mean rebellion?"

"Allow me to introduce myself; i am Altere. I lead the people in a rebellion to end the terror of the Bose. They have killed our kind for far to long, it is enough! So many years ago i took my small group of 70 Taucs and we've found more and more Taucs along the way. Creating underground tunnels and breaking Taucs out of Bose prisons. We will stand together, AND KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!"

A roar from all of the Taucs and Helfers at once.

Slim looked at me with hope in her eyes, and pulled Samat closer to her.

I stood up.

"WE WILL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!"

Another roar from the crowd came.

This...This was for Mort.
