Date: 3rd Binary Week, 3rd Binary Day Night

Location: Hydar Planet

Era: Awakening

The shadows swirled around in a small space, while a group of them gathered at a specific point for a specific purpose.

For that night a discussion would take place, about actions to be taken which involved the future of all energy creature survival.

"At last the individual has fallen asleep"

"Now let's talk about what we can do.

"His curiosity is reaching unsuspected limits"

"The Eolytus we sent has been protecting him but has been unable to communicate with him, apparently we are still blocked in that regard"

"We can barely offer any help at the critical moments when your brain starts to be used in greater proportion"

"We must find a way to communicate, try to intensify the telepathy seems to be working gradually, even managed to communicate with these primitive creatures"

The Eolyto outside the burrow caught all the orders coming in, he had been entrusted with the task of keeping the guest safe while trying some form of communication until then without success.

"The analyses are complete, it is impossible for us to expand to other minds without the authorization and invasion of the host and I doubt that we can do so with these creatures so primitive that he has found and helped"

"Sooner or later he'll encounter his own species by then we must focus on protecting him, continue to generate psionic energy and try to modify his curious behavior that could endanger him"

"I wish I could see the outside as much as our partner, every cycle that goes by we get weaker, I don't know how many of us can stand the limited amount of space we have"

"We're still experimenting, this new existential form, at least we got one of our own to come out by condensing it into an invocation"

"We should make him capable of invoking some of us at once so that we can satisfy our need for freedom, purge some of our current overload and in turn help take care of him."

"We have to see the repercussions that this could have on both our reserves and the individual's brain load."

"What about the Balrug polls?"

"For some reason we feel they're hiding something.

"I vote to warn the guest"

Date: 3rd Binary Week, 4th Binary Day Sunrise

Location: Planet Hydar

It was: Waking up

During this night I had a kind of strange dream, where thousands of tiny voices were talking in my head, the strangest thing of all is that I did not understand anything they were saying and in turn it made me feel socially inhibited unable to engage in conversation.

Lying on my stomach at that time was the way I felt most comfortable, as I adapted, I had the constant presence that there was something else in me,

"do my kind go through the same?"

This question was impossible to answer at present

I stopped thinking about all these mysteries that tortured me, the best thing was to try to find more members of my species before, surely they can help me.

"There, you are awake!" smiled Little Balrug

"I brought you something to eat" continued

I noticed how some [Reluty Tubers] were placed on the ground near me.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"You saved my life, don't worry about it."

While feeding I had a long talk with Young Balrug in which I learned that burrows were so labyrinthine because they were joined underground with each other, a way to stay closer together and easier to escape from predators if one of them was compromised.

We continued to talk for some more time until

"Good morning, young Hydar, I hope you slept well" said Mother Balrug

"Yes, thanks to you I have been able to rest perfectly"

"Oh, don't worry, it's the least we can do.

"I came to tell you that the whole herd will go to a nearby pond to water or clean our bodies, are you interested?"

"I'll be happy to accompany you."

"Okay, we'll be right out."

I finished talking to the young Balrug, having been able to find this way of socializing helped me a lot, since I was born I have felt a kind of loneliness that has led me to curiosity.

I went back through the long labyrinthine tunnels, thought of the Eolythus

Will it be gone by now?

"I'd like to take a look at where we came in yesterday."

"Is something wrong?" turned the Balrug

"I'm just curious, that's all."

Balrug showed a certain reluctance to do so

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving."

"Equally distrustful term guiding me towards my destiny"

There I could see how the Eolyto, who was discharging a series of violet mists, turned to see me then something happened, in my head a kind of voices were talking to me.

"Can you hear us, tell me, can you hear us?"

I looked around and couldn't believe it, these strange voices coming out of my head?

"Hear us," said one

"We don't have much time," said the second

"Those creatures are planning... something," said a third

After this, communication was cut off, and at that moment I felt disoriented, I didn't know whether to listen to what I had heard.

I turned to the Eolytus which, in spite of myself, had already disappeared without a trace.

What should I do in the face of these strange warnings? Should I run away from this place and forget about them all?

Perhaps if I were more reasonable and thought that this was not a figment of my overflowing imagination I would not do so.

Young Balrug's head went down the rabbit hole

"You're taking too long, is something wrong?

"No, I was just thinking."

Balrug said nothing and just guided me, although we talked about all sorts of things along the way.

As we went through those narrow tunnels they forked into dozens of passages until at last we came to a kind of gallery, quite large, I asked myself, how could they have dug it out with their small size?

"We're close, we're almost there," said the Balrug

For some reason I felt sad, this began to give me a certain fear but curiosity always pushed me forward.
