A little short of time and ideas...so please just bear with me ><
The next chapter ought to be much longer...LOLX

Genectrols: D-generation [Phase 3]

“Asuna…maybe you want to ask Jeriko about it once we land?” He knew that was a redundant sentence; he just wanted to break that suffocating silence.
“Yeah…duh…Kelar! You read my thoughts AGAIN?!”
“Hey, we’re twins, what do you expect?”
“But seriously, what happened to many years ago?”
“Who knows…history itself was never complete……”
Silence once again reigned, as their trip back to Erra was muted once again……

For the first time ever in his existence, he felt…trapped.
A word so alien, he never knew how to savor.
Even after his first trip into the endless space, he never felt such a sense of…confinement.
It was just…this time…something set the trigger.
He wanted…Escape.

Erra, Central Planet, Palace.
As it had decades before, the majestic building shone in full glory, towers rising to overlook the landscape, as if the years never had any effect on it.
The guardian of Erra.
In one of the living quarters, four figures stood, staring out into the morose skies of this artificial planet.
“Clones, no? First it’s Genectrols; now that people finally start to accept us, there’s clones.” It was the dark-skinned boy with chocolate hair that first exclaimed.
A.F. 920, Helluw started the project on creating supernatural humans, with enhance hearing, sight and reflexes.
A.F 924 circa, the first of these “enhanced humans” was produced. Genectrols, they were called, characterized by the slightly pointed ear tips.
Helluw subsequently carried on with the project, genetically altering more and more zygotes, turning them into powerful biological weapons.
Eventually, A.F. 925, the facilities were destroyed, and the project halted.
A.F. 940, official end of the Universal War. Only 4 known individuals survived. Four mistakes that Helluw made.

Lanse Josa and Syvanna Vanda-Josa, now Emperor and Empress of Erra, parents to Kelar and Asuna.
Conda Susaka and Leera Josa-Susaka, King and Queen of Tahale, parents to Leonda.

“I cannot be sure if it were as simple as a cloning project, or is there more to it.” Death Saint, otherwise Jeriko Okiyo, was the name of the navy-haired male. Being the oldest amongst the group at a grand old age of 17, he knew much more about the past than the others.
Or perhaps, the unwillingness of the citizens of Helluw to talk about the past only ignited his interests in this forbidden field.
Humans had always been curious life forms, genetically modified or not.

“Kranyon Taruk…that’s a long story. I suppose we’d better start from the beginning……”
Finally, Jeriko started answering to the twins’ enquiries.
