A Moment alone is a Moment together
Matching his current emotions, the weather of Talaz had been blanketed by a consistent dark cloud concealing it from the sunlight entirely as a drizzle of rain left a layer of mist on the artificial island. For days he had been held up within one of the many laboratories that remained untouched from the explosion months prior manufracturing the various tools and instruments needed to perform the delicate and complex task of making an artificial life form. Progress was slow as many of the seasoned machine operators had either died or fled the island prior to the accident.

A mixture of relief and resentment grew within Kon as he was met with an unexpected appearance of the sinese merchant whom had started the entire affair accompanied by a series of scholars dressed in attire strangely resembling those of the monks he had fought back in the foreign land. They revealed to him that their loyalty was not to Qinglong but the religion at large and wished to redeem themselves by swearing to address the mistake they had made. Unable to generate a clear thought in the haze, he merely waved them away guiding them to the scientists who were already busy enough as is.
