"LET'S FORGET HE EVEN CAME." SAID ZACH. "AGAIN, The rules."

"Shall I start?"said Reley. Zach and everyone else nods as a sign of approval.

Just like that, everyone didn't bother talking about Nathaniel. Aren't they suppose to be glad he even came? Zach even told me he barely visits the haven. That's it? Forget it even happened. And now they're discussing the rules with me? Am I the only newcomer here? What about Reu? What about the others?

Well, you are the only new here. Everyone in the haven smells well-experienced except you.

I heard someone talked in my mind. He doesn't sound like Zach-and Reley-not even Bliss. I looked around the room and saw nothing but just a shadow hidden behind the corinthian.

Who are you? And what do you mean I don't smell well-experienced? I tried asking the shadow expecting for a reply.

Look. I never said that you don't smell well-experienced. And-Oh please would you mind listening to that retarded man over there. He's too sentient he might even sense you're talking to me through your thoughts. Go and pay attention. I'll talk to you later.

And I just felt the mind-talking part in my head turned off. He'll talk to me later. That means I might see him again. Well, not the again part because I haven't actually saw him.

"Tam, still with us?" Zach asked. I jumped in suprise but managed to stay calm, hoping they would'nt realize I wasn't paying attention.

I managed a smile and say, "Yes, of course. I was just thinking. How did you get your title?-I mean, how did you become who you are right now?"

Zach just looked at me while Bliss and Repley laughed.

Repley speaks. "Bogart and I were actually waiting for you to ask that. Right,Bogart?" Bliss nods and smiled.

"We were expecting that question from you,Tam." says Bliss.

"I became the guardian of the haven since the fall. They chose me for I am a leader of the secret society. Haven's are very silent. No one must know where it hides and what it hides." said Repley.

"What about Bliss?" I asked.

"Oh-Please stop calling us in our last names. WE don't have surnames, Tam. We only have it just for human interactions."Bliss said.

"You mean, all of the people here have made-out surnames? Oh, I assume I must think of a good one now."

"Not when we are discussing the rules." Zach interfered.

"Yes but No. It is not a made-out-of-thin-air surname. Humans gave us surnames. The family we had in this world lend their names to us." said Bliss-I mean Bogart.

"Okay. What about you Bogart? How did you get your title?"

"I believe I am one of the greatest warriors at the fall. I know how the weapons were made. I know what they are capable of, reasons why I am responsible for the armours and gears."

"What about the other stalls? And Zach?" I turned to face Zach. "What's your title? You're suppose to hold one right?"

Repley answered me. "The other stalls are guarded by Stallion, Ralph, Landon and..." Repley points a finger to the guy standing behind the corinthian. I turn around and saw the shadow I was talking through my mind ago. The shadow was named-"Nick."
