The look on everyone's faces was completely stunned, including Anna, Zon, and Raze, whose hands gradually lowered back onto the table. Never would Raze have guessed that Amir, the Vice Principal, wasn't a Pagna native.
"How is that possible? And is it just you two, or the entire Bonum Society?" Raze asked.
"Now we're getting sowhere," Amir said with a smile as he drew another planet with lines indicating it was far off in the distance. "The Bonum Society originated from a world known as Bonum, so no surprise there in terms of creativity for our group."
"The current mbers are all descendants of those who originally ca to Pagna, and that includes us."
"So you guys were born in Pagna?" Ricktor asked.
"Yes, and so were our fathers, but our origins trace back to another world, and we've always been part of a collective group that has supported each other-a society that we created," Amir explained.
"However, as stated, our community has always remained tightly knit, and there are stories that have been passed down about our origins. These stories are important to know because they might explain why the Bonum Society and Alter are at odds with each other," Amir said.
"From what we know, the world of Bonum was a place where humans and beasts lived side by side. These beasts were unlike the ones you find in other dinsions that attack humans on sight."
"In fact, even before coming to Pagna, there were a large number of Hybrids who had willingly ford bonds with beasts to beco a new type of creature. Our world was one that was free from much trouble, which allowed us to focus on advancents, particularly in studying beast crystals and the crystals that ford the beasts in the first place."
"However, despite our world's long existence, it was soon predicted that it was on the brink of destruction. The great minds of Bonum predicted that the world we lived on only had a few more years at best."
"We aren't sure of the details of what occurred, but we suspect that whatever destroyed other civilizations in other dinsions was the sa thing that was about to affect ours. And like those other civilizations, we also had a powerful artifact, an artifact that Alter would consider a God-tier artifact."
"An artifact known as the Golden Globe."
This wasn't the first ti Raze had heard of the artifact. It had also been ntioned by the Dark Faction founder.
"The Golden Globe is a powerful artifact that can open a permanent rift between worlds, and there seem to be no restrictions on where it can go. Escaping our world's imminent destruction, our ancestors used the Golden Globe and ended up in the world of Pagna."
Anna, Zon, and Raze's eyes lit up at that mont. An item that could permanently open portals to another world was exactly what Raze and the others were looking for. It was quite possible that this item could be a way for them to return to their own worlds.
It was no wonder that Alter would be after this item as well, as it would help many within their group.
"Of course, our ancestors were kind people, and although our numbers were smaller compared to those in Pagna, we were much larger than we are now. They decided to live like the Pagna people while also protecting the Golden Globe."
"And so, the Bonum Society was created, as well as this base. People lived above while the base itself was originally constructed to store the Golden Globe and prevent others from getting their hands on it. After all, who knew if we might need it again, and it was sothing that belonged to our world in the first place. So it should be rightfully kept in our possession."
It was an unbelievable story, but given what they knew about Otherworlders, they had to consider it possible, especially knowing how powerful artifacts could be.
"However, as ti went on, we learned that we weren't the only ones in the world of Pagna who were not from it. There were others, and that's when another group was ford-the group known as Alter," Amir continued.
"Rifts continued to open up in the world of Pagna."
"Is that because of the power of the Golden Globe?" Safa asked. "Did it cause so type of disturbance?"
"Right, right, that's what most people would think," Olag said. "But I very much doubt it. It feels like it's sothing else, like soone else is trying to open these portals, but that's just my guess, so don't look into it too much."
The others weren't too sure, based on just hearing the story.
"We have never found out why, but we aren't sure that we were the first to co here either. There were rifts that brought people in from another world temporarily and then permanent rifts that linked to other dinsions," Amir continued.
"Alter explored many of these rifts, but there was a difference between our two groups. Those in Alter still had a ho to return to; they still had a world to go back to, while we knew ours
was gone.
"With them exploring these other dinsions, they found powerful artifacts-artifacts that should never have been in the world of Pagna to begin with. Since it wasn't their world, they decided to seal away extrely powerful artifacts so they couldn't harm the world of Pagna, where they didn't belong."
"It was noble of them, right? Just like the Bonum Society. In fact, our two groups were very
much aware of each other.
"That was until our relationship started to sour, and that was when Alter learned of the Golden Globe's existence in the first place. A group that seals away powerful items couldn't just let us keep the artifact under our protection," Amir said. "As for their fear of the item's use, it was sothing we were never aware of, and sothing that could change the entire world of Pagna."
