"Seela was crossing his arms over her chest. "She was the one who hinted us on your plane."
"I didn't know that Geeta was pregnant. And it did not occur to me since I suddenly became attuned to ideas that I got distracted." She looked at the ground shamefully. "I almost forgot about you."
Geeta places a hand on her arm. "I told you that it was not your fault. I should have fully told you about my situation."
"Her reaction to change in her brain function is normal. For a few days after you awaken, ideas would make a lumora like yourself to go mad with ideas." Seela added. "As for you two" She said as her gaze directed to Geeta and I. "you both will have a balanced awakening since you are freirs. Non freirs cannot awaken their physical abilities that is why it is concentrated on their brain activity."
"Mithun," Geeta tugged my arm that made me change my attention from Seelar to her. "Did you join them? The Front I mean."
"Front?"
"Front liners. The ones who go out and save people like us." Like us. Right. Apparently, I am one of them now. I thought about it.
I glanced at Seela. "I assume that all freirs join the fronts?" I asked her and saw him nod in confirmation. "It is a dangerous and risky job." I said with a hint of suspicion. "What's the benefit of joining it aside from saving lives? Not all people are saints that they would do it for the goodness of their hearts."
I saw Seela smirked briefly at my question. "There are a lot of reason. Some revenge, some for ego, and some for power. But it's true. There are benefits. If your skills will be acknowledged, then you can get transferred to a different section with a higher rank if you wish. Even get an audience with our leader to grant you a favor."
I looked to the ground to hide my excitement at the news. There's my chance. If I actually earn the favor of their leader, then maybe I can confirm, if my father is alive? Surely, they keep logs of all the citizens in this place.
"I'll join." Geeta said. Her brows creased in determination. "I'll be damned if I don't get my revenge on the government."
Seela nodded at her. Then his gaze went back to me. "And you?" Instead of using words, I nodded my head. "We'll start tomorrow then."
"Geeta too?" I asked.
"I feel better! "Geeta protested.
"You heard her." Seela said without any emotion at all. "She feels better." she repeated.
"I just said that!" Geeta said.
"Shouldn't she rest more?"
"She's a lemurian." Seela pointed out. "And a freir as well. We recover faster than the rest. One even got his legs amputated and still joined the training the next day."
Geeta and I looked at each other and shared a look of disgust before looking back at the white-haired Lemuria. He said it as if it happens all the time. Just what lengths do these people go through?
A chuckled erupted from Doctor Kamali "I believe that as the doctor in this room, I should be the one to express my opinion regarding this matter. Geeta's vitals tell me that she's healthy. More than healthy to join you for your training tomorrow." She said and fixed her look on Seela. "General Seela if you want, these are the result of the test. If anything happens, please do not hesitate to ask the medics."
As Kamali and Seela were talking, Geeta motioned for me to come close so she can whisper in my ears. "She's cute." She speaks.
My head quickly moved to switch my head from Geeta to Seela, the emotionless white-haired guy with a weird sense of humor the short time that I have been with him. Then I returned my gaze back to Geeta. "You have one weird taste."
"What? "Geeta seemed offended.
"What taste?" Seela suddenly appeared behind me. I jumped in surprise to see that she and Kamali were looking at us. Seela with a curious look and Kamali with an amused smile. When we didn't answer, Seela seemed to assume things on his own. "Is it the taste of room decor?" I glared at us soon to be general. "Mam, don't start." I said through gritted teeth.

We soon left the building to let Geeta rest some more before she will be transferred to her own pod. Seela and I continued to walk around the section. All the while I kept on asking her about the lemurian people and how on Earth, literally, people like us with the blood of Lemorian were born.
"lumora decided to cut themselves from the surface world when they notice that a people have become wary of them. Lemurian have always been ahead of time when it comes to economical advances." Seela started as we continued to pass through the variety of plants all around us. We were currently walking through the sector's park area. The scenery somehow reminds me of those movies with alien like forests. "Earth dwellers started to attack them. Even women and children, because they are afraid of what the Lemurian could do. However, the Lemurian knew that the moment they retaliate, then they can potentially annihilate them easily. But they knew that destroying one civilization would only cause more trouble for them as it would make them a target. It's not a problem for them, but it would cause the end of human civilization. Thus, they decided to vanish from the surface world forever."
Seela continued to talk as I fixed my eyes on a bubbled fruit coming from one of the plants. "The Lemurian still monitor the surface world. And as a few decades passed and they see no improvement in the human world, they decided to send out a few Lemurians, disguised as humans, to help improve their way of life. But not enough that they can turn against us." She said. Although I wasn't looking at her, I was still paying attention her story. My gaze was still fixed on the bubble fruit as it wobbled gently from its weight. "Those same Lemurian people decided to stay and were able to start a family with Earth dwellers. Some of them returned to Lemurian with their family. Others stayed."
The fruit continued to wobble that I got more fascinated and poked it. The bubble broke and I immediately drew my hand back as a gooey liquid not hung on my finger, like snot. "Ugh!" I said in disguised and moved to follow Seela. All the while shaking my hand to get rid of it. "So, are you one of those family who returned?" I asked. Remembering what I heard from him yesterday about not being born here. With a final flick of my hand I was finally able to get rid of the snot like glue from the bubble plant. Unfortunately, I landed on the boots of our soon to be general. I paled as soon as I saw it, but luckily, Seela hadn't noticed it yet.
Just then, Seela stopped and turned to face me. I quickly hid my hands behind my back as I gave him a smile. "You're right. It seems like your memory is good." She says. "And yes. My father brought me here when I was a child. The moment that my mother was killed as the people tried to capture my father and I."
"I'm sorry." I said as sympathetic as I can. "I guess that all of us are a victim to a home we once thought we belong to."
Seela nodded. "Yes." She says. "But this is our new home. And we all have to do our part in to protect it."
I am not sure about joining the fronts to protect this world. At the moment, I only want to find my father. Maybe I'll have to decide what to do next when I find my father. Or if I find my father. Although my decision wasn't set, I still nodded.
"Come on." Seela said. "There's plenty of places that you haven't seen yet." She turned as she started to walk again. "Oh, and Mr. Mithun? You should stop touching the plants here. Some of them make a lot of mess. Like the one on my boots."
I suddenly flinched and attempted to make excuses. "I-uhm..."
"It's fine." Seela said and ushered for me to follow him. "Let's go."
