THE CALL OF TRUTH
PART III
Enoch clutched her watch. "This isn't happening,ā she said under her breath. Enoch yanked the web out of Folicri, attempting to free her Venari, but to no avail. She howled; the Venari perched on the trees and hidden in the bushes scuttled back to the dark. She could see her mother again, playing in the garden. Tears ran down her face.
A familiar hologram flashed from her watch. Her heart stopped. āYouāve failed.ā
Her voice was shaky. āYou donāt understand. I thoughtā¦ If you let me try one more time. One more timeāā
āVerity has given you enough time,ā cutting her off.Ā
āNoā¦ā The dread in her stomach grew as endless possibilities filled her mind. She knew what would happen to her, what Verity would do to her mother.
A cold shiver returned. An image flashed in her mind. It was her mom, black and white, the sun in front of her. She floated under a sea of pure blackness, descending. The image would fade into darkness.
āPlease... Iāll find out who it is. Iāll search for him nowāgive me a few more hours!ā
āVerity hasāā
āIāll do anything!ā She shrieked. Her hair broke from her hair tie, caressing her cheeks. āIāll do anything! My mother has done nothing wrong. Please, let her go!ā
āYour motherās the reason why youāre in this position in the first place,ā Tom finally spoke after a long pause. He cocked an eyebrow as she stared up at him, her face flushed.
āAre you willing to risk it all for her?ā
Enoch could feel her head pounding. A strange smell wafted across her, but all she could taste was the saltiness of her tears.
āYes," her confidence untilted.
Then, silence.
Beyond what she could see and hear, there were whispers from the background. She couldn't tell who it was due to the streaks of light from her hologram.
A few seconds passed. āVerity has chosen to give you one last task.ā An unfamiliar face appeared before her hologram. The man had an angular face with a disturbing smile. There was something sinister about his eyes, his lips, that made her quiver.
āEnoch Harris,ā his gravelly voice stunned her. āHow do you feel about being a part of a change?ā The strange smell returned; it reached her tongue like an awful taste. Her vision blurred, and darkness crept.
āWhat?ā She blinked, but her vision continued to darken. She tried to push herself up, but her arms fell limp to her sides. What was happening? Her thoughts were like mindless chatter, filling the void.
"Our future is in our hands." His voice dwindled in her ears like a soft lullaby.
The last thing she saw was his unsettling grin.
š¢ I'm not crying, but I truly hoped your votes were right about who Enoch saw. If only I were brave enough to intervene. š However, I'm holding onto the hope that both she and her mom will be safe. š¤š

SNEAK PEEK!
Azule Faction Leader: Carmelo Valencis
Seekers, meet the brain behind the many inventions in Caerras! The pride of the Azule Faction!
Azule is one of the three leading organizations from the disbandment of the Vocari. Through the experiments they had created and the theories they had formed, earlier members deduced the āuntappedā potential of the Kore. The faction is known for its heavy contributions to Caerrasā technological advancement.
Carmelo Valencis is a prodigy. He began with his first invention using Larawaās web as a superglue. Then, he enhanced rigs to ensure they could withstand extremely high temperatures. Finally, he invented the Seidon Sensor, his most famous invention and the reason for his nomination to become the leader of the Azule Faction.
If I ever met Carmelo, I'd ask him to invent something extraordinary for me. Maybe super-hearing for my eavesdropping š¦»š¤ and a voice-recognition tablet for my notes! Life would be easy peasy then. š
And there you have it, folks!
I hope you learned a thing or two about Caerras by reading my note. š„° I know you're curious about what happened to Enoch, but that's all the scoop I can share for now. I was frozen in fear during the incident, and as much as I wanted to follow them, I also value my life... because who will deliver your much-needed updates if I get caught, right? š
Lastly, I wanna express my gratitude for sharing your thoughts on what you like most from my notes. I'm jotting them all down and will do my best to cater to your preferences with my "nyriebilities." š¤
Ta-ta! š
