In the anthill, the wizard Zoc was working on his new potion. He looked around for any material he needs and suddenly, what he found was familiar. It was the very first potion Zoc made. He held that potion to get a closer look and remembered something tragic. "Father...." Zoc thought. He put the potion down and closed his eyes as he felt tears running down, remembering the day the cloudbreather killed his childhood friends, even his father. Zoc felt like a failure. He feels alone now. When Zoc heard footsteps, he begins to hide from anyone. Afraid to let anyone see him cry. When the nurse ant Hova and the little firefly Spindle came, she began looking for Zoc. "Zoc, where are you?" Hova then heard a silent cry that's coming from her boyfriend. Spindle followed the sound and found him hiding in the dark. "Hey, why are you crying?" Hova asked worriedly. Zoc tried his best to fight the tears, but begins to sob. "It's just... something tragic happened since I was a young ant." Zoc said. Hova walked closer to him as he looked at her teary eyed. "Ever since I was a young ant, I dreamed of becoming a wizard... Like my father. He helped me learn so many things to become a wizard. When the cloudbreather arrived..." There was a short silence until Zoc continued on. "...T-the cloudbreather had killed my father... I felt like a failure! I... I... I just feel so alone!" Zoc broke down crying as he covered his eyes with his arm. Hova gasped as she and Spindle felt tears running down from their eyes. "Zoc... I'm really sorry to hear that. But know that you're not a failure. And your never alone! Zoc, you still have Spindle, Fugax, Kreela, especially me. You're the ant that I love!" Hova said as she hugged him. Zoc then hugged her back. "Hova..." Zoc said sadly. "I love you too." Zoc and Hova then looked directly at each other's eyes as their faces get closer and kissed for a long moment. Zoc felt his heart beat. When they broke from the kiss, they felt happy when they had their first kiss. Spindle flew around them happily. "Can I help you finding materials for the new potion you're making?" Hova asked. Zoc smiled and nodded his head.
