Finally. I have the power to destroy this despicable city. Once I get this done, I will save all those unfortunate people in the underground. They have no idea what sort of life the people up here are living. After taking all the resources from this city, I will make sure none of these selfish…

The Fortune Teller gives me a pained smile. “You have a difficult future ahead of you. Many obstacles lie in your path. Death will chase you at every corner. But you must not falter. If you wish to be the glue– if you wish to bring people together, you must not give up your kindness…

Over the course of a few weeks, I am able to work behind AZ4’s back with the Pirates to ship all the valuable resources of the floating city to the underground. Luckily, this was much easier after the coup. While some of the Pirates were working on that, I spent my remaining time assisting other…

I point to the three children and their mother. “So they’re worse than pigs, right?” I confirm. AZ4’s smile fades slightly. “Well yes, I suppose, that is what I just said.”  “So I’m worse than a pig?” I ask. Their face contorts in shock.  “My love, what are you talking about? You’re not like these…

“First, I would like to go to the Floating City. Could you take me there?” I ask. “Of course! That’s what I’m here to do!” AZ4 replies cheerily. The Sky Pirates seemed glad to finally get going. They led me onto their Sky Ship, and we were on our way.  *** It didn’t take long…

“First, I would like to meet your family. Could you take me there?” AZ4 blushes. “You’d already like to meet my parents? You’re quite the go-getter, aren’t you? Not that I dislike that! Let’s go!” They reply cheerily. The Sky Pirates seemed glad to finally get going. They led me onto their Sky Ship, and…

“Don’t you think it’s unfair?” I ask. The fathers eyes seem to catch fire.  “What? Unfair?” “Yes. We humans are also creatures. We may be less powerful than you, but that doesn’t mean we should be taken advantage of. The Undergrounders– they don’t deserve to live like that.” They both scoff. “What a naive human…

I hold on to the dagger I used on AZ4’s father. AZ4 cannot be trusted to not interfere with my mission to destroy the floating city. I want to avenge those in the underground. After the attack, both of us are tired, but I must say vigilant to find the right time to attack AZ4.…

…and grab that chocolate bar that the Fortune Teller gave me. This is it! “I offer you this.” A long limb appears from nowhere and takes the chocolate. The father brings it close to his face and sniffs it. “What is this? Human food?” “It’s not just any food,” I explain. “It’s chocolate. The best…

“I want you to restore the Earth” I conclude.  “Ah, an environmentalist I see,” the father says. “Very well. That will be done.”  “I also want you to lower the Floating City, so that it can be more accessible,” I add.  “Simple enough,” the mother replies. “Consider it done.” I exchanged a look with AZ4.…
