"What do you mean I'm not a human anymore!? is this a joke?... no, maybe i'm dreaming... HAHA!! maybe it was because tomorrow i'll be out of this base!" (John).
Soon, John closed his eyes and tried to think hard while mumbling 'I want to wake up', but soon, reality hit him.
"John, this isn't a dream... this is real... soon after realizing i'm sentient, i began to analyse us, and i found an strange energy, that have change us... you'r DNA isn't human anymore... it's strange and unknown... and you have a strange organ that stores this strange energy... and i got some special traits thanks to this" (Sara).
After hearing that, he started to search if he have something else, that includes his head.
"No john, you don't have animal's ears, your appareance is the same as before we were trapped" (Sara).
"Emm... excuse me, I didn't mean to interrump your conversation, but... what is a human?" (Anhara).
"Hey... umm.... what if we talk while we go outside, we can't sit here" (John).
"Isn't like we can sit outside" (Kahli).
When John goes outside, he realized that the base isn't the same that he knew, it was devoid of life and the place seems on ruins, he wonders why he was still alive, and remember that he needs to see the energy generator of the warehouse, luckily it's close to the door.
"It's almos depleted, it's better to deactivate it... I don't want to let this here, if this thing have some error, and explodes... again we will see another planet with stopped time" (John).
"John, do you know what this mean?" (Sara).
"What does this mean?" (John).
"This thing was make to live for an unknown amount of time, and can resist more strenght that everyone can think, if this generator is in this state, it means..." (Sara).
"It means that we have lived over a thousand of years inside of that warehouse" (John).
"I think we have lived more than that" (Sara).
"What do you... wait... how many times have i said the same now?" (John).
"With this, three times... but if you want an answer, see them" (Sara).
After seeing those two kids, he soon realized, they aren't some kind of automaton, they are the possible new race that lives on this planet, they didn't know what are a human, so he realized that what have happened while he was pranked, have attacked everything... maybe the energy had done something to the others, after thinking of the changes he and Sara have suffered, maybe they are the descendant of the pets that the humans have taken to this planet.

"So, you have realized... this isn't the civilization that we know... maybe they have the same morals that the humans of the past" (Sara).
"How are you sure? Maybe they have the custom to eat their husband if they cheat" (John).
"Eww! that's gross" (Anhara).
"Luckily we don't have that custom" (Kahli).
After saying that, Anhara an Kahli have different reactions, one with disgust and the other with a relief.
"Hey, little girl, do you remember what have you called before?" (Sara).
"I'm not a little girl, my name is Anhara and I'm over 18 springs, and yeah, I remember, you're a fairy" (Anhara).
"A fairy... that means... that there are more than one race... and mabye there are more IA's that have evolved like me" (Sara).
"Stop the talk between you two, i also want to know what is a human and why you where there" (Kahli).
"First we need to find a place to stay... this place isn't good to talk" (John).
Soon, they started to walk outside of the ruins of what was previously a militar base.
----------------------------------------
When they reached the exit of the militar base, John found that they where inside a cave, soon they walked outside of that cave and found that they where on a mountain, they walked a while on a forest, and found a camping site.
"So, you where camping here?" (John).
"Yeah, don't worry, it's safe here, the camping ward won't let any monster disrupt here, so you can tell all the things that you know" (Kahli).
After they arrived at the camping site outside of a cave in a mountain, Anhara and Kahli urged John to quickly tell them all the thing they have asked while they were walking outside.
"Where do I start... Ah! you were curious of what is a human? it's easy, they are... they were a race so strong that they managed to get control of all the stars that you can see on the sky and nobody have the strength to stop them... until some accident have happened" (John).
"An accident? what accident?" (Kahli).
"That's... I don't know... I was trapped on the warehouse when that happened, and I don't know what happened to all of them... I don't even know if there are others like me" (John).
"And why you were trapped there?" (Kahli).
"It was a prank... there were others working in that base and two of them, were know for their pranks on their spare time... it wasn't the first time i was trapped, but the last one was when that accident have happened" (John).
"It's strange..." (Anhara).
While John was talking and Kahli asking questions, Anhara was in deep thoughts, it's like something she found was amiss.
"What do you mean with 'it's strange'?" (John).
"All what you have talked is like the story of the origin of the ancients... they were a mythical race that was had godly powers, they were gods... they created this planet and populated it... but they dissappeared before our ancestors were born" (Anhara).
"Yeah... those were the humans... but they didn't created this planet, they only adapted it to be able to bear life withouth problems" (John).
"But you said you were a human, but the ancients were gods, they radiates a godly light, and everytime the step, all the place was filled with life!" (Anhara).
"Hey... Anhara... the ancients... they have a religion?" (Sara).
"Yeah!! That is the main religion of this continent, the Ancient's Church" (Anhara).
"Maybe... it's not good to say that i'm a human or an ancient" (John).l
After a long talk about religion, the two natives started to feel sleepy, Anhara and Kahli enter their respectives tents, and John, with a piece of leather, he sleeps on the night sky.
