《The Exciting Arrival》Chapter 7: Hey, where's Empathy?
Advertisement
It turns out that after Empathy ran out of the castle 2 damn chapters ago, she went to the 7D's cottage, pressed a button near the stairs that leads to the mine. She jumped down and when she got to the mine, she landed in one of the minecarts. She pulled the lever, found a pickaxe from somewhere and rode the cart around in the mine. She was mesmerized by all the jewels and gems around the place .
Empathy: Wow! Wow, wow, wowie wow, wowie wow!
The 7D were still looking for Empathy everywhere in the cottage, but they just couldn't seem to find her.
Grumpy: Where in the name of chilli cheese fries is she?! It's not like she just vanished out of nowhere like that!
Doc: But I'm sure that we're gonna find her in n-
Sneezy: Fellas, the mine's open!
My precious dwarfskies all went over to where the stairs are and saw that the mine was open, like what Sneeze-man just said.
Sleepy: She must've been sleepwalking and she fell down, possibly to her death.
Bashful: Floomin' trash pandas! Empathy went into the floomin' mine and possibly died?!
Dopey begin forming The Scream while the painting was shown behind him.
Happy: I highly doubt that she died. Well, we all do.
Grumpy: I don't.
Doc gave his one and only a gentle nudge on the arm.
Grumpy: How should I know if she's dead or not? She either got hijacked or just injured pretty badly.
Doc: I guess you're right.
Grumpy: You guess?!
Doc: Look, I don't always agree with you whenever you're being negative.
Dopey: (whistles "Oooooooohhh!")
Sneezy: I'm just gonna say that was a roast, just for the heck of it!
Sleepy: So are we going into the mine or not?
Grumpy and Doc: Yes?
Happy: 🎵So let's go, we'll take it out of here. I think I'm ready to leave, I'm ready to live. I'm ready to go!🎵
Bashful: Now.
The 7D: HEIGH HO!!!!!!!!
My precious dwarfskies jumped down into the mine so that they could still find their soon-to-be 8th member, who could honestly be anywhere in there.

From Nothing
Rejoice Humanity! You have been invited to join the Galactic Hegemon. It is time for our Centenary Caste Competition. The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.
