Ahad, who listens to the discussion of the three main spirits, closes his eyes. He is silent for a moment, as if he has distanced himself from the noise of the worlds in front of him. He then turns his gaze to Maginura and the other two spirits.

Ahad: "I have made my decision."

Maginora stares at him sharply.

Maginura: "And what is your choice? Which race do you choose for this experiment?"

Ahad: "I choose the race of insects."

A moment of silence followed by a wave of surprise flows through the three souls. The first (evil) spirit says with a mocking laugh:

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

First Spirit: "Insects?! It's a brave choice, or perhaps madness."

Maginora frowns more:

Maginura: "Why? Among the three races of angels, devils, and dragons, why should you enter the enemy's heart? Among beings whose minds are incapable of understanding the truth?"

Ahad calmly but confidently answers:

Ahed: "Because the truth is not always in the light, but hidden in the heart of darkness. This world is a test for us, but it is reality for them. If I want to understand the truth, I must look at the world through their eyes. I must know why are enemies and what has brought them to this point. Perhaps in the midst of this mess, I will find something that even you are unaware of."

The second (dragon-like) spirit nods in approval:

Second Spirit: "It may sound silly, but it isn't. Perhaps the darkness of our enemies reveals a greater truth than the light of our friends."

Maginora answers with concern:

Maginura: "If you fail, Ahad, we may lose what this world has hidden forever."

Ahad smiles faintly and says:

Ahed: "If I fail, I'll come back. Shia always provides a way for me to come back. But if I find the truth, the test will be worth it."
