One of them tilted his head slightly. Then spoke. “Subject Zero-One.” Flat. Emotionless. The title echoed through the room like a ghost from his past. “You are ordered to return.”

The system had requested for clearance, a d that was the easiest thing to do, because the information I needed were surprisingly on the file. I typed as quickly as possible, and the files opened. There were geographical surveys, and a blacked out floor plan, stamped with a logo I found difficult to recognize. Then, I saw a circle enclosing a single dot, just a single word. Zero. For no reason, my fingers hovered over the screen. That word alone..Zero...stared back at me. Just a glance at it, I could tell something about it didn't feel like data anymore. It was more like the system recognized me, like it knew I was right there.

The Resolution of the Absolute-Zero A "Blinding-White-Frequency" erupted from the "Zero-Point," traveling out through all "Temporal-Wells" and "Multiverse-Lattices." The "Founders" didn't just "Dissolve"; they "Integrated" as the "Primary-Frequency." The "Absolute-Zero" was now "Online." The "Universal-Debt" was "Permanently-Deleted."

Zutara flushed under his gaze suddenly feeling shy. ''Forgive my manners'', he pulled away smoothly twirling a lock of her hair "I'm Minre, Air - binder at your service''. "I'm Zutara'' she grinned back at him accepting a warm cup of oats from Riz. ''And that is my new twin brother Sven'' they both turned, he with a bright smile, she with a dark scowl.

His caramel skin was flawless and he looked like the vogue model with perfectly cut jawline rimmed with faint facial hair, high cheekbones, angular nose, perfectly sculpted black eyebrows, thick eyelashes which rimmed the beautiful yet bone chilling black eyes that seemed like the depths of the hell.
