As they say in show biz: The show must go on.
Exorcism and the appearance of Dorian were just one part of today's show. Yet, it gave everyone a deeper feel of what to expect.
--silence–
The room regained a heavy silence that cloaked the scene.
Dorian's clone was no longer here, and so were the monsters.
Everyone had a million and one questions to ask, but couldn't make a sound with their mouths.
You don't understand.
The creatures have long gone yet their cups were still tormenting, their coffee and tea were still spilling to the carpets, the nausea in their bellies was still going strong and their stammering hearts were still shaken so hard their throats began constricting.
Many didn't want to admit it, but they were still very scared.
Their eyes darted around the room maniacally, as some pointed to the closed blinds, wanting Julius's team to quickly pull them up and allow for maximum sunlight to penetrate the room.
[Julius]: (-_-)
The blinking bulb lights no longer stuttered, but everyone still felt anxious.
Now, many were afraid of the dark, looking underneath the tables and others turned over surfaces they could find.
Mommy...
Can they say they didn't want to sleep alone tonight?
As people with powerful positions, you best believe they would have a grand military room all to themselves while staying here.
If it was before, they would be thrilled, since they haven't stayed with others in decades. But now many are already thinking of who to pair with tonight.
Of course, the first pick of the lot was Wiggins, Berry and Harry.
Many people swore that after this, they must hastily ask the trip to pair with them tonight or at least sleep in the soma room with them.
Hey... one can think only kids have slumber parties, but don't be so quick to make that conclusion.
Tonight, many swore to have a sleepover with the trio.
Everyone didn't know how to go on living the same after what they witnessed.
Finally, the silence was broken, as Wiggins felt he had given them enough time to calm down.
.
"Now, do you believe?"
Many nodded their heads stiffly.
Believe? Of course they believe! They saw it with their own eyes, didn't they?
Everyone, including Dalahali, now understood that there were enemies far more deadly than what they, ordinary humans, can face.
Like so, Wiggins and the others took a seat, telling them exactly what went down during the rescue mission.
They didn't add any extra words and stated the matter as it truly happened.
"Wait. You said when you arrived on the cemetery hill, the one called the Grandmaster had you all wait for the moon to reach some high position?"
"That's correct. But from what we've been told, not all creatures or spaces rely on the moon to act in hiding."
"So you all went to a mysterious place so big it could be the same as several cities joined together?"
"Yes. It was terrible. The grounds were rotten, the air was constantly foul, and thousands of monsters couldn't wait to eat us alive! But don't take our word for it.... today, we've brought in 5 of the Live streaming teens, who came to tell their experience."
With a nod, Julius communicated with someone via Walkie-Talkie, and soon, Rudolf, Jenny, Chris, Emily and Bianca came in.
They were the only ones who agreed to participate. The others didn't want to relive such a nightmare, wishing they could forget it all!
For these 5, they swore to join Dorian's academy soon. So how can they do so if they keep living in absolute fear?
They had to admit that although their time there was dangerous, coming out alive gave them a sense of responsibility.
What's more, they overheard Dorian's side talking of some war that would unleash all sorts of calamity on humankind.
So wasn't it better to be prepared than sitting duck?
Wasn't it better for them to have the power to protect their families on that day?
Even Bianca, a bleary live streamer, wanted to attend this academy.
She had a little brother of 7 and a single mother to protect!
Her father was dead and he was an orphan. Her mother was an orphan too, so he had just them to protect with her life!
----
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
The clock ticked too fast, many thought as time seemed to vanish so suddenly.
Just listening to the thrilling and epic adventure these teens had was enough to make everyone's blood boil.
Many also felt ashamed, feeling they were not as good as children who handled the appearance of monsters far better than they.
These children were kidnapped and taken into this numerous world and forced to protect themselves from monsters of all sorts.
The place was like a sick game made by someone who enjoyed seeing them struggle for survival.
Food, water, and necessities were all fought hard for.

What was even more shocking was that the ordinary human food they thought they had been consuming was food to transform their bodies into a palatable version these monsters could eat up.
However, what can they do but eat it? Should they grow hungry and starve to death?
Without food, they won't even have the energy and strength to fight off any monsters. So even if they somehow got to know the food wasn't good for them, they still won't have a choice.
As they say, it's best to live and fight another day.
.
In here, they were truly helpless, as these monsters regenerated no matter how many times they were killed.
Everyone sucked in their breaths, vividly imagining what the place looked like.
They also realized that images began blurry or distorted whenever one tried to take a picture of a monster.
From what Rudolf and the others said, their phones were still working before they got taken into that mysterious world.
Their phones worked, but there was no signal, as everything went static.
So only the communication was the issue, as well as the twitching on the screen every 40 seconds or so.
They indeed tried taking pictures of the monsters but it all came out wrong and distorted.
The only somewhat okay images they captured were those of the mansion they stayed in.
It was amazing that they also secretly captured images of the others like Merlin.
Although the image looked terrible, it at least proved these people did coexist in the mansions with them.
Amazing!
Many felt their hearts tremble when hearing how many famous people these youths met in the flesh.
Instantly, the unsolved disappearance of these famous people was solved.
More importantly, the disappearance of one of the most famous war generals in medieval Vardos was also solved.
The man didn't betray his empire or get ambushed by a human enemy but got taken into this world alongside the soldiers who were all marching out to war.
For further proof, Wiggins had everyone stand at the very edge of the walls, as he took out a ball the size of a marble and did as Dorian instructed him back then.
.
Bam!
Hundreds and thousands of documents and ancient items fell to the ground from the marble-sized ball.
F***!
Dalahali cursed loudly, too astonished by the magical abilities he just witnessed.
What about the conservation of matter and space? What about physics? What about science?
How can so many things pop off of a little marble ball?
Are you sure this isn't some kind of dream he was in?
Who am I? What am I? Where am I?
Pah!
He slapped himself so hard that his right cheek began swelling a frightening shade of red.
'Not dreaming... it's all real'
("0")
There was so much armor, old swords and other weapons out there that could be dated back to various centuries.
There were documents and letters from those who entered the space, writing to their loved ones.
They should have known they would never leave but still chose to write these letters, maybe hoping their loved ones would somehow hear their heart's beating words.
Some missed their sons, others talked of the days when they held their wives and some missed their daughters, wondering how their families were fairing without them.
For others, they missed their parents, brothers, sisters and friends.
Each letter was filled with sadness that could make even them cry a river. And do you know the worst part?
These people's souls no longer existed, meaning they couldn't reincarnate even if they wanted to.
It has it been too long since these monsters devoured their bodies and souls.
Once it stays for that long in the monster's bodies it disintegrates and becomes one with the monsters.
In the Book of Life, their life in this world would be their last!
Only the souls 5 centuries before Bassano's group entered, had the fortunate opportunity of having what was left of their souls extracted and sent off by Dorian.
It was tragic but there was nothing anyone could do about it. Who asked Dorian to be born now and not thousands and millions of years ago?
These features existed at the beginning of time in this world.
So whether humanity was at the stage of the Bronze Age, Victorian era, Iron Age, Ice Age, Medieval Age, or whatever age, they were always there.
Today's revelation was enough to give everyone a heart attack.
But now, they only had one real question in mind.
"What do we do now?"
