The door opens!
Elena’s standing in front of the inside door, to be the first to welcome her son. From her facial expression, even a large smile could not hide the fact that she’s clearly broken.
‘…She knows.’ Levon says in his mind.
He now has a bit of understanding to know that it’s the case, for the first time he didn’t just stand like a sculpture as she hugged him. He hugged her back!
This spoiled Elena’s feelings, she couldn’t hold back some of her tears…
Levon gets inside towards the living room where Robert was sitting so calmly, one leg on top of the other. Their eyes met! An inexplicable tension arose in the atmosphere.
Robert stands up, without neither of them taking his eyes away from the other’s, they shake hands respectfully. “Sit down.”. He says, then gets back to his original stance. Levon does so.
He continues. “At the end, my questions weren’t enough to back you down…
Since this is the case, I’ll have to tell you what I’ve been hiding for a long time now.”
“..So you know more about Doctor X’s creation.” Levon asks.
Robert confirms that. “I do. but that is not what I’m about to tell you.”
Levon got quite swayed by this answer! “What do you mean?” He asks.
“…For a human to know himself well, and to reach his maximum potential as an individual within a group of individuals, within an even larger group of individuals. There was one thing he had to know the most.
…That one thing, is his history!” Robert lets his words settle down a bit in the mind of his son. Then continues again.
“What I’m going to tell you about right now, is your own history. The one you lived for so long without.”
These words gave Levon the chills, he couldn’t guess what he was going to be told… He could only listen.
In fact, he wasn’t the only one! Near the side corner was Elena standing behind the wall, listening to their conversation! Her hands were crossed to her chest, and a very worried fearful look on her face!
What could it be, that Robert is going to tell?
….

*2 DAYS LATER*
18th July, 2093!
The most historic day in the post Natural revolution era, is now!
It was a shock for everybody to know that in order to prepare for this event, King Axel built the largest and tallest building mankind has ever made. A tower like no other man currently has seen!
It rivalled the clouds, and only the eyes of the hybrid+ could look ahead and see its far end! But it isn’t just the height, the width is incredibly impressive.
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
To explain things mathematically, the diameter of this tower is of 666Meters!!
And its height is, 2484Meters!!!
Nothing is known about how or when it was built, and most aren’t even asking that question. They’re just so amazed to see such thing for the first time ever!
It is also the most crowded day of the new world. Not only the people of Babel who are participating. People are coming from all over the world, which is basically the other 4major cities.
All of these things and more, makes it such a great day for so called journalism and news media. What looks like flies from far away are actually reporters floating in air magically, with flying cameras following them everywhere to air this event on every existing channel of today. Which is in fact, one channel!
This great Tower is situated in front of multiple valleys and mountains. Those who previously assumed that all the land is dry are proven wrong. Green fresh grass, plants, trees and even flowers are surrounding the tower from every side. However, every other place is dry!
What is also surrounding the tower from all 4 sides, were the huge digital screens that has the face of the one and only, King Axel! Who is now going to officially announce the start of this historic event.
“WELCOME TO YOU ALL MY PEOPLE! PEOPLE OF THE NEW WORLD.
TODAY IS LIKE NO OTHER DAY, WE ARE HERE TO WITNESS THE RESULT OF THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY HUMANKIND HAS PRODUCED. THAT YOUR KING HAS GRANTED ALL OF YOU A CHANCE.
I CAN SEE THAT YOU HAVE ALL OBLIGED, THAT MAKES ME GLAD!
THERE ARE 15 GRAND GATES ALL OVER THE TOWER, EACH WITH A VERY LARGE PASSAGE LEADING TO IT. MAKE SURE TO ENJOY THE SCENE AS YOU ARE WALKING IN.
AS YOU ALL GET INSIDE, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER YOU HAVE BEEN GIVING AFTER YOUR ONLINE REGISTRATION. YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TOWARDS THE FLOOR YOU BELONG IN.
WE’LL MEET THERE WHEN EVERYONE IS READY.”
The king ends his speech and the commercial Valvesteen made from back then gets played repetitively after that.
Axel is in fact residing in the highest floor, alone! Sitting in a far more marvellous luxurious throne than the one Levon saw him sitting In. He took it another notch and wore a royal red flurry cape, that of true emperors! What didn’t change is the way he rests his head on his two fingers so elegantly.
Suddenly, a screen popped up in front of him. It Focuses on one of the participators making his way through the unbelievable crowd. The black color is so dominant that it makes people look like ants from way above. Ants that are coming back to their nests.
Another screen popped right to the left side, also focusing on someone…This time a young woman!
The king’s eye kept tracking these specific people shown on the screens, more kept popping up, then another one… Until there was 10 screens!
Only then, a large satisfying smile slowly got drawn on his face!
3 of these 10 people, are ones we already know.
Valvesteen Grey, Zephyr Hanx and at last, Levon Graham!!
Valvesteen was the white star in the black sky! if it wasn’t for his guards, his fans -especially females- would have been all over him. He smiles and laughs through it all as he greets everyone, to entertain them he does a very pretty trick only he is capable of. He prints his trademark logo on their clothes/bodies by simply drawing it on thin air! Making magic turn into reality.
As for Zephyr and Levon, they took the same teleporting car! Which explains why they’re walking side by side… Though Zephyr is by far the one getting the same treatment as Valvesteen.
“…As if it wasn’t already so crowded.” Comments Levon.
Zephyr. “I know right, I expected big numbers but this is really beyond it!”
Levon. “What’s even more shocking, is that tower in itself! Which looks like it can get all these numbers in.”
“Right… it seems he was preparing for this way before the initial announcement. No way it was built in just a month.” Replies Zephyr simultaneously with him taking pictures with his fans.
Levon. “Yeah. He didn’t make a single appearance in all of the last 3years… This expl..
Suddenly, a young female taps his shoulder and says. “Levon Graham! An Instagraph please!”
Zephyr gets even more surprised than him! “Ohooo! You have your own fans now it seems.”
In fact, Levon remains the same. He does not deny her request and takes a picture with her. *Instagraph* is The modern word for a picture with a celebrity, derived from “Instant”.
“Thank you!”. She politely said, then she disappeared in the crowd!
Levon notices that she’s a bit different from the rest, her clothes are way simpler and long. Even her face looks different than the few faces he sees in Babel. Moreover, the very act of thanking him at the end is very unusual. For example, Zephyr’s fans never end up saying so.
“…Whatever!”. He tells Zephyr.
The latter wipes his ironic smile and looks ahead at the grand gate. Then he asks. “…Remind me, what number you got?”
