The Efalem child is opening her eyes! It was about time, really. Perhaps not a coincidence, my vision also expands… and I must say, what a breathtaking sight!

Its night time, the sky is clear with lots of glowing stars, two big moons and a small one showering light into hundreds of Efalems kneeling down in front of a giant tree humming a whiching sound, light slowly flowing out of their bodies and into the roots…. It reminds me a bit of the Na'vi Ritual at the Tree of Souls in the Avatar movie.

Energy flows from the roots into the branches and from the branches into dozens of big colorful blooming flowers, and in every single one there is a Efalem child. I can't see any leaves in the tree, like a sakura tree in the blooming season, except the flowers are more similar to a lotus… And has a child inside.

All the children I can see, which by the way, are too many to count, are now glowing... and floating down towards the same direction, getting closer and closer to the people on the ground.

'First person POV!'... Of course I'm not missing this opportunity to experience FLOATING into the sky!

We (as all the children) are descending from the tree and without any sign all people on the ground stand up in perfect sync… that was impressive! I didn't even know it was possible to perfect sync so many people.

Now that they are all standing and I'm closer, I can see more details and.... Every Efalem here is female? I think... Let me be clearer on this, they all have boobs. Bigger or smaller, they all clearly have a volume there, which is why I'm guessing they are female. And they are all extremely well built and pretty.

Additionally, they are very unique, I can identify all kinds of skin and hair colors, and they are probably all naturally multicolored since the children are just as diverse in skin/hair color as the adults here, and they are literally newborns.

As we touch the ground, the glowing stops and we are left there standing in the middle of a bunch of adults along with several other children… or not, the children just fell on the ground, all at the same time.

ahahahhaha….Damn… ahahahahahhaha… I can't believe this, such mystic moment and I can't stop laughing! Why do you ask? Have you ever seen a baby giraffe trying to learn how to walk? Now imagine a horde of colorful baby biped giraffes learning how to walk, amusing right? That is pretty much what is happening now.

I can safely guess this: the glowing energy was the one moving the children, and as soon as it halted, the newborn children that did not know how to stand for themselves, all fell down on the spot.

This alone was very funny, but then the newborn-giraffe-like-dance began! Several children trying to stand up just to fall again, again and again, then when they succeed in standing the first steps are another challenge. They are JUST LIKE a giraffe trying to walk for the first time! In a very different way, this too is a sight to behold.

And the adults are just there... looking as if they have nothing to do with it, not trying to help, not saying a word, not laughing, not anything… just there looking at the children waiting for them to be able to stand and walk, a bit creepy but funny.

How am I supposed to not laugh at this situation?

Some long and very entertaining time passed. Not all, but the absolute majority of the children were already walking or even running around, they sure learned fast. It would be a lot easier to raise human children if it were like this over there too.

At this point the energy that was flowing from the adults had stopped, there was no more glowing power in the air, the giant tree was quietly there just existing, like a tree should. Overall things were a lot less bright.

Everything seemed peaceful, although the adults were still creeping me out since they were still not moving, just standing staring and quietly judging the children.

I was in the first person viewpoint when I felt a frightening energy pulse on the ground, with the tree being the epicenter. An eerie feeling started to surge deep within me, I could feel the same feeling from the child. I'm sure we were not the only ones to feel this. At the same time all the children that were carefree walking and running around stopped.

It is pretty obvious that everyone felt that terrifying pulse. Out of instinct they started to go back to the first point where they were dropped off on the ground, and to crowd around the nearest adult, searching for protection.

I also felt the urge to do the same and I'm glad the child I'm stuck with did just that. Even the children that still had not mastered the difficult art of walking were crawling over to the nearest adult.It's strange that the same adult that I was so wary of, was now a source of comfort and security.

Not only for me, there were few other terrified children with me. To be more precise, we were a total of six terrified children hugging the same grown-up. The same scene could be seen all over the place.

Unfortunately, the comfort that came from finding 'our' adult did not last much. Just a few moments after all the children found their own adult, another pulse came from the tree, but a much stronger one that made all children freeze in place.

Then a child's head flies right in front of my eyes… blood is everywhere.

This b*tch! WHY THE F*CK! What is happening here?!?

WHAT T F***!? S** ** * B*TCH! What?!

BOOD...BLOOD.. B..LOOD… NO NO NO NOOOOOO! WHY?

…

…

...

…. Thank you Alexa, I feel unnaturally calm now.

If I'm to witness something like this again these two abilities you just gave me will save me again for sure. What an amazing skill this is, to be able to force someone to calm and analyse any and every situation with a systematic mind… seriously, thank you Alexa.

But still, what was that? What is happening?

So much for 'protection'! This damn woman just morphed her hand into a sword and sliced off the head of one of the children! Why? Just why??

Blood spilled everywhere including in the children nearby, there is a small blood pool with a headless child body in the middle of it. The head rolled and stopped right in front of me, the eyes were still open, staring at me almost as if asking for help. This is madness.

If not for Alexa interference I would have mentally broken down instantly at that sight, I guarantee. This type of thing is too brutal for a normal ex-human, from a peaceful time on Earth to witness. It was especially bad because it came with no warning, everything was fine, bright, happy and fun until moments ago!

Nothing is making any sense now, I have absolutely zero idea of what is happening.

"Lets zoom out, max distance"

The same situation as my squad is repeated everywhere. The entire field is now just a mad bloody mess. All the children are still frozen in place, 'fear' written all over their faces, while the crazy grown-up women do the killing.

Not all squads have the same configuration as mine. The number of live and dead children differ a little between them. But as far as I can see, all have at least one dead child.

The dead bodies began to dissipate into small particles and float back into the tree. Including the blood, nothing was left that suggested a slaughter had just taken place here. Another otherworldly crazy situation…

The bodies 'no longer in their way' the crazy women began to do something, I'm curious so I'm changing back to a first person view.

Their hand is no longer a sword, back to almost a normal hand, with only one finger in the form of a small knife-like instrument. They make a cut on the other hand to drown out blood, force open the mouth of the nearest child and pour a little blood into her mouth, and then the next child, until all of us are fed a bit of her blood.The same thing seems to be happening in all the squads.

With that done, she then touches the ground with the bloody hand and energy starts to flow into the ground, then enters all the children she fed her blood. Information pours into my brain, but it is a different feeling from when the information comes from Alexa.

The child I'm linked to is the one that is having knowledge forced into her brain, but since I'm in first person viewpoint I can feel the same thing, and I'm also learning. The process is somehow painful, but not unbearable. And just like that we learnt the Efalem language. So, easy...

Thanks for letting me know Alexa, I had not noticed that knowledge of an entire idiom just forced itself into my brain…

And we finally hear the first words from these psycho grown-ups.
