Prologue - Arc 1: A Hint Of What Is To Come

"...Remind me again why we're hiding in this bush?"

"Kraue. This is the 5th time in less than 30 minutes you've asked that question. Were you listening during the first four times?"

"It's not my fault these chocolate brownies are so good!"

"Proposition. Then stop eating them when I'm telling you something."

"Mmm-hmm? Sommy, mmhat did you may?

"Exasperation. Like now!"

"Ssshhhh! Will the two of you stay quiet? We are trying to remain undetected by the denizens of this world!"

"As long as you let me eat these brownies in peace, I'm fine with that."

"Worried. But how long will it take for us to find a host? My calculations state that within the next 15 minutes, we'll die without the necessary resources to sustain ourselves."

"Well, both of you will die. I'll stay alive."

"Answer. Just because your biologically structured doesn't mean you can survive. You'll eventually become dormant, just like me and Psi."

"Okay, okay, fine, but we still need a host. Seen anyone yet?"

"Negative. Even with these eyes, I can't see any intelligent life signs."

"Even if you didn't mean it, that still wounds me deep inside."

"Noted. I'll take that into account."

"Ok thanks. Anyway, what are these droplets that keep falling from the sky?"

"Scanning. According to this world research, these are droplets made up of molecules called H2O, normally called water. Apparently, it's part of this world's weather, called 'rain'. Recommended action: Seek shelter."

"We're in a bush. Oddly enough, this 'rain' is… refreshing. It's doesn't seem threatening or dangerous. It even helped us to land safely. I guess it was this world's method of transport."

"I'm opposed against that. This rain is causing slight damage to my systems."

"Wel, Psi doesn't seem affected at all."

"I do not have a physical body. How am I supposed be affected? Wait, over there! It is a human!"

"Identifying. Male, about 1.72 metres, black hair, slouching and coming this way!"

"Is he compatible?"

"Unsure. Err… I think so. Maybe a 6/10."

"That is too low! We could potentially kill him!"

"He also has numerous cuts and bruises and a laceration on his upper torso. He's heavily injured."

"No wonder he is staggering. Do all of this world's creatures walk like this?"

"Answer. Only the bipedal, intelligent ones like him. Due to his state, compatibility level has dropped to 3."

"Ummm… I don't want to interrupt you two, but we have about a minute left."

"We cannot do this! The risk is too large, you know what happens to those with incompatible hosts!"

"It's our only chance! We don't have enough time!"

"...All right then, on three."

"Ok."

"Acknowledged."

"Three!"

"Question. Wha-?"

"Guaahh!"

Concord's note: I'm back. After several long months, I'm finally publishing a new story.

Some of you may recognize me, though I'm not as popular, just a newbie author. This is actually a different account underneath the same name as my other account had some difficulties. The two other stories, 'My Tipping Point" and "Evolved" are now underneath the name Maelstrom590, which is the name for my other account.

Firstly, I want to apologize for my last two stories. I haven't updated my second one and my first brought both positive and negative reviews from you readers. Kind of sucked for a while, but after being away for so long I forgot all about them.

Secondly, the next author's note will be at the end chapter 5 since the first few chapters will be published as a set. So read through and tell me what you think of this. By the way, this is not a crossover with any other worlds out there since I made this whole world up from reading a few books.

Thirdly, regarding the words of the different characters in this book, normal words will be them talking normally. Those in italics are meant when other characters are speaking… I don't want to give any spoilers so read and hopefully, you'll get what I'm trying to say.

Well, that's all I have to say. Enjoy!
