Cazanette

Cazanette - Epilogue

EPILOGUE

Three months had passed in the city of Verwandstadt after the incident made the population a hundred percent inflated. The city was an urban-rural type of city where half of the geography is occupied by fields of agriculture and meat production. About twenty four percent of the city is occupied with buildings of ten storeys in maximum. Although there was a large portion of resources, it may not be enough to feed the sudden rise in number of citizens.

The mayor and the Ambassadress of Caz joined forces to prevent the possibility of scarcity of resources. It was good that the dowager came from the outside world so that her stories to the Ambassadress, the Queen, when she was still a child is usable. They were planning to open Verwandstadt to tourists and celebrate the genetic technology hidden by time. The story of the nymph and the Hidden Spring of Youth is agreed not to be disclosed to anyone outside Cazanettians, the Mayor, and us. It is to prevent anyone to search for it again and repeat the history.

Cazees helps Verwandstadt people in many ways to maintain and expand the resources and use their breeds' ability in performing tasks. Master Ren and his people, Whitey and Hybrid cows help in a ranch by grazing the cows and sharing information to the master of the ranch. He also do side jobs like teaching martial arts and swordsmanship in dojos. Alnah and the other harpies help in fields by plowing soils and spraying fertilizers from the air. Other flying hybrids help in transporting people and goods. The Hybrid Chief surrendered himself to a medical laboratory to test the composition of the genes in his body. Some genetic engineers helped the medical laboratory. There should have been a large amount of genetic engineers but they died in battle under Lax's command.

Reconstructing the city is not impossible. While Reevahn helps the reconstruction by designing, the blacksmiths from the Town of Knowledge are very useful in manual labors. Chaeldra and Brix spend most of their time in the library for research. Chaeldra continued her life in Verwandstadt as a librarian and works part time as a tutor. Elder Miredifheimild is enjoying her retirement life around the city and trying to recovery the memory that was lost since the creation of Cazanette. Her everyday routine was observed by Reevahn thus made him decide to construct a fountain with the statue of the nymph to represent the Spring of Youth, although the legend was not disclosed he said that it was just a design.

I collect things necessary for living and bring them to the Cazees. I ask for the updates in medical research of Hybrid Chief to maintain the health of the people from the world under. During my hiatus in school, I want to make myself useful to anyone who needs help. I thank the nymph for granting us the elements needed for basic needs. We use these elements in almost everyday basis that is why...

One day, we cannot use them anymore, even though the trigrams are still marked in our bodies. We tried to call the nymph in every body of water we saw but she never responded. The dam office we which was already restored and renovated has closed any doors they believed to be passage to underworld Cazanette. However, some hybrid birds and squirrels made the passage possible. It was only a secret to those from Cazanette. It is for the purpose of retrieving some of their belongings from the ruins. We decided to visit the ruins.

There was a large tree in Verwandstadt forest with five meter diameter. It was covered in thick bushes so that the big hole in the tree trunk makes in unnoticeable. It reminds us of the magic Hybrid tree in the underworld Cazanette. Luckily, Reevahn brought a flashlight. As we went through the hole, we saw the big tree roots forming a bridge-like way down. It slopes at about sixty degrees angle at about twelve meters deep. The passage is a cave-like structure surrounded by giant rocks – maybe to make it stable. It has enough space for three people to stand above the other. As we continued walking, the passage becomes narrower until the three of us lined up and saw a faint light.

We found ourselves in the mountain range in front of the pearl bridge. The mainland Cazanette seemed to shrink by seventy percent. The skies were like destroyed ceiling with some electric failure. Some screens were in the shrunk land. We walked through the pearl bridge and it was noticeable that some holes in the bridge were the location of the pearls which may be taken for appraisal in Verwandstadt, the house of the Elder is visible to the eye and not covered in the Forest of Incantations anymore. It looks like part of that forest was burned down.

"As I remembered, the nymph's underwater palace is near the wooden bridge in the Town of Knowledge."

"Is it still located there? It looks like the Cazanette was rotated. The direction where we were from should have been the glowing castle and the crystal bridge." said Brix.

"If it is rotated, this is just about the right place." said Reevahn.

We called the nymph by a poem for her. There was a light from the body of water which floated as bubbles. There was a girl inside. She has a dark green long wavy hair and a long dress with flowy skirt which looks like water. It was white and it doesn't reveal her body.

"Were you the people calling there over and over again?" She started and looked at us one by one. "So you are the reason why Theta is not here. By the way, I am Orion."

"What happened to Theta?" We worriedly asked in chorus.
