Hey there, Seekers! 🌟
It's a new month and a new season to embrace! 🍂 How have you been? How was Halloween, and how did your October go? My Halloween was filled with spooks and sweet swerte treats! 👻🍬 And October was all about crazy adventures and challenges. But your brave Nyrie made it! 💪 I even recorded a cute Venari while I was in the middle of a task! Multitasking? Check. ✅
So for today, I'm going to share with you a secret I've uncovered about Enoch—the sequel to “The Call of Truth” series. Now, grab a snack 🍪, and let's dive into this update!
The Truth (Call of Truth Sequel)
THE TRUTH
“So, look who finally made it.” A tall woman leaned against the doorframe, cross-armed, gazing at the young scientist sitting behind a large desk filled with luminous blue vials.
“Lianna!” Renzo looked up, and he quickly stood. “I’m excited to see the future, that's all.”
Lianna was silent. Her gaze was still on the blue vials. “So, Kore energy, huh?”
“Artificial,” he corrected. “They were extracted from Kore energy. I studied its formula and copied it. One drop could make hundreds of vials, and they can produce twice what the city needs in a month. We can even heal Venari with this—and even people—”
“You make it sound so easy,” Lianna smirked.
“Eh, you did hire me for that.” His smile made her laugh. “So, what’s the big project I need to work on? Everyone’s been pretty hush-hush on this. Don’t tell me you’re with them too.” He groaned. “I already told them—I can’t plan if you give me nothing! What’s the big project?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you… It’s—” Her phone beeped. “They’re here. Follow me.”
They strolled down the dark halls. As soon as they had reached a particular pillar, Lianna stopped. “You wanted this, right? You want to change the world?” Her voice cracked.
“Of course I do. Why wouldn’t I? Wait, what are you—”
She pressed something near an unseemingly pillar, and the walls shifted. A bright light shone through the cracks of a hidden room. Renzo froze. The only words he could mutter formed a question. “What is this?”
“Your artificial Kore energy has jumpstarted a new project, a new age.” The smile had disappeared from Lianna. The energy she carried was heavy. Her eyes were like daggers, deadly and suspicious, hidden in a holster.
Renzo was stupefied, unshaken by sheer magnificence and horror; an unseemingly pillar-turned doorway peaked through another lab filled with clear cylinders and floating bodies.
A dark abyss of imagination spurred in his mind, and his hands trembled. The bodies inside the cylinders were floating in a clear liquid, bubbling every thirty seconds, Renzo calculated. The repulsiveness etched into their faces—
“What... are you doing to them?”
“We’re fixing them. The world has benefitted from the Kore. We have benefitted from the Kore, yet unlike the creatures that roam Caerras, we are fleeting—indistinguishable from little specks of dust that float in this void.”
Lianna continued. “We disappear, and our mark barely exists… Until today.”
Renzo’s gaze fixed on a particular cylinder. Inside, it was a woman, much younger than he was. Her head tilted to the side, her bushy hair frayed from her face and stuck to the glass, her jaw clenched.
“This is illegal. The police! I’ll call—” he stuttered and almost slipped when his elbow knocked onto one of the push carts.
“I’ll call the—” Renzo stuttered again. Lianna moved towards him with purpose. She yanked a needle from her inside pocket, piercing it through his neck. She slowly carried his limped body onto the floor.
“Congratulations, Renzo.” She pivoted. “You begin your orientation tomorrow. I hope to see you then.” It sounded more like a plea than a threat.
Call of Truth Part I | Part II | Part III
😯 Don't tell me that the woman with the bushy hair was... No, no, no. It can't be! It's not Enoch, right? It shouldn't be her! Gosh, these people. 😢 What are they gonna do with them? 😟

Hmm, 🤔 I wonder why Torum rebelled. Yet, above all, I'm curious about the year of my birth. How I wish it were something memorable too! 🤭
OMG, Wadell! 😱 You're worse than Lumina! I dropped my Oria pie because of you. 🥧 I hope I won't have nightmares because of this. 🫣🤞

Venari Highlight: Nature Eurici
Check out this week’s Venari highlight, showcasing the visual improvements from the old model to the new model, plus an animated video of the Nature Eurici.
Eurici often sit atop the highest tree branches, swaying with the leaves and enjoying the wind. On occasion, they gather food and enjoy the view week after week, eating their meals.
A hungry Nature Eurici looking for something to eat.
I wonder how Eurici feels about being labeled as lazy. 🤔 But did you know that Eurici excel at imitating Aharas’ hisses? Gosh! I've fallen for it—more times than I'd like to admit. 😅
Kore Connection Key Art
Some Seekers have the extraordinary ability to connect with Venari through the mystical Kore energy on Caerras. See how the Antello forms a bond with a Seeker while other seemingly friendly Venari watch over them.
Oh, look at some of my friends! 😍 I'd certainly stop to admire that enchanting moment too if I were there. ✨
Thank you for reading, fellas!
For everyone who has been following the 'Call of Truth' series with me, I'm sending you big hugs. 🥰 Though it has ended, I'll do my best to check in on Enoch. Who knows? Maybe our paths will cross again. 🤞 For now, I have a new role to focus on (details coming soon 🤐), and I can't wait to share my next adventure with you.
Until my next update, Seekers! 📜
