" It’s life that matters, nothing but life – the process of discovering, the everlasting and perpetual process, not the discovery itself, at all. "

- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

(MTF Headquarters and Facility, Montmartre District, Paris: 4:24 PM)

" What have you gotten so far? " the elderly silver-eyed man asked his younger blonde relative.

Amnon looked at Christopher and kept flipping the pages from the files and intently read his late father's stories on Earth writtten in French. He found the names of Carnell, Siramis, and Valeera which he curiously tilted his head.

" Well, do the names Carnell, Siramis, and Valeera ring any bell to you? " the young Kree Eternal curiously asked.

The elderly green haired and silver eyed man smiled which he recognised the mentioned names. His smile widened from ear to ear, realising some good news written by his deceased relative. He looked at Amnon and composed his thoughts before responding to him.

" Oh, yes! " Christopher happily exclaimed. " My mother told me some stories about my ancestors from a very long time ago! "

" Wait, what do you mean? " Amnon curiously asked and tilted his head.

" My father was related to Old Methu-Selah as his greatest granduncle, but my mother's side was from the elven side of the family. I descended from Carnell and Valeera Knightfall along with Carnell's mother, Siramis. "

" So, you're part Kree and part-elven aside from being an inhuman? I'm sorry I didn't know..."

" Of course! I know this is a lot to take in, but there are more discoveries about our families being intertwined. Your late father would have told you. "

Amnon had let out a deep sigh and nodded when he continued skimming his father's writings. He went on the next page and started reading about Methu-Selah and Camilla's meeting with the Knightfalls. He continued translating it to English by reading out for Christopher to listen.

(Streets of Lutetia, Gaul, 3rd of April 205 AD, 2:35 PM)

The bright warm sun peeked in the fair and partly cloudy blue skies. It was watching at the people coming and going on the Roman occupied city of Gaul. There were many horse drawn carriages roaming around aside from the Roman soldiers and peasants. There were children running and chasing around.

For the past few months, the Kree Eternal Methu-Selah requested the Roman Emperor to be relocated in Lutetia instead of living in Rome since he had decided to oversee the people of Gaul and their affairs and help his younger cousin's research and experiments for herbal medicines. Although, he was also teaching and sharing the scientific knowledge coming from his homeplanet.

This time, he and Camilla had an afternoon stroll around the city which it was their usual pasttime. Upon their walk, the blonde woman accidentally tripped and almost fell down including her basket when her blue skinned boyfriend instantly lend a hand to her and helped her picking up the basket. Then, she was being aided to stand-up.

" I'm really sorry, Methu, " she heavily sighed. " I get easily tripped. "

" No worries, Camila. Just watch your step, next time, " he assured and held her basket. " It seems like you need help in while shopping around. "

" Thank you. That's very kind of you. "

" You're welcome, my love. "

Just then, they spotted three people in robes; a lime green haired lady, a sulfur haired man and his early mother. Camilla smiled and recognised the trio as she waved her arms in greeting. The three people waved back and closely approached the couple.

" Camilla, Good day! " the younger woman with green hair cheerfully greeted at her.

" Valeera, I'm so glad to see you! " Camilla greeted her back and gave her a hug.

" Camilla, is this man whom you are referring to? " Valeera asked and noticed the blue skinned one, parting herself away from her friend.

" Oh, yes! I forgot to introduce him to you all, " the blonde lady replied and turned to her boyfriend. " Methu, these are my friends, Carnell and Valeera Knightfall along with Siramis, Carnell's mother. Everyone, this is Methu-Selah. He landed somewhere in Ostia Antica. "

" Landed? What do you mean by that? " Siramis asked and intrigued.

" Mother, I think what Camilla has just said, ' He arrived. ' He might have come into a very far away place just like us, " Carnell said and turned the blue skinned man, offering a handshake. " It's a pleasure to meet you friend. Tell me, have you come from an exceedingly distant world? "

" You might be flabbergasted to hear it from me, Carnell, " the Kree Eternal grinned in reply and shook hands as Carnell became too uneasy from the extraterrestrial man's very strong grip.

" My! What on Earth?! Your extreme strength can break any ordinary human hands! " the sulfur grey haired exclaimed in shock. " Seriously, what are you?! Are you one of us, elves?! "

Methu-Selah nervously grinned and said nothing to him, laughing. Then, he became very uneasy when he saw the dark cloaked being following him. Camilla and her friends noticed the blue skinned man becoming very uneasy.

" Methu, are you alright? " she asked to her boyfriend with concern.

" Nothing, my love " he plainly smiled, inhibiting his sudden anxiousness.  " You know what? It would be better off, if we can discuss some other things at my house. Besides, Camilla and I have been next door neighbors. "

" My, how splendid that you have been friends with her for sometime, " Siramis happily said.

" Yes, we have been friends for five years now, " Camilla smiled and blushed in red, looking at her boyfriend.

" Let's say you and him are more than friends! " Valeera cheerfully teased her friend.

Caracalla's younger cousin blushed harder to her embarassment than earlier and reminded, " Let's just say if we go discuss this further. "

(Outskirts of Lutetia, Gaul, 3rd of April 205 AD, 3:20 PM)

Entering the Kree Eternal's house, it was just a simple and earthly interior which any middle or lower class Roman or Gaul citizen could have. There was no display of such Kree technology, since it was remained hidden in the other room within the premise. Camilla and the visitors remained sitting on the wooden chairs in the living and dining area. Methu-Selah held a tray of bread and some cups of warm tea.

" Make yourselves at home everyone, " he said and offered the snacks one by one.

" Thank you, Methu, " Siramis smiled at him and received her share.

" You're welcome, Siramis. "

" So, you and your sister Mira lived on our world for five years, now? " Carnell asked.

" Yes, Camilla had taught us to speak your language in order to adapt ourselves into the human society, " Methu-Selah replied. " It was very difficult for us at first, but it was an interesting experience to learn from you. "

" Where's your sister? " Valeera asked.

" She remained in Rome as she was able to understand and assimilate with the Romans. Originally, we have come from there, " the Kree Eternal answered and pointed his left index finger upward.

" You mean the Heavens? " Carnell chimed in.

" Yes, you may say that. The Greeks called it 'Kosmos' or what we call the universe. I may be from a very distant planet and galaxy. "

" So, you're not an elf like us? " Valeera asked.

" Definitely not, I suppose, " the Kree Eternal sat down on his chair after he finished serving his guests. Then, he took his cup of tea and slice of bread. " Your homeplanet seems very interesting for any development which you, humans, can benefit. I have been supporting the Roman Empire's advancement for a few years. "

" Oh, interesting, " the elderly woman smiled and nodded.

" But sadly, not all your people who appreciated my contributions. They are very resistant to change."

" Is it because you're not a human? " Valeera asked.

" You may say that, " Methu-Selah gloomily spoke and nodded.

" We're not humans too, Methu, " Carnell smiled and assured. 
" We have come to the elven race which we have come from a distant island. You need to travel across the oceans. "

" Is that so? I thought have come from Britannia like you said a while ago, " the Kree Eternal became intrigued which he didn't use his Cosmic Awarness to read their minds. " Why don't you reveal your true forms? "

" You were very brave to show of your azure complexion, but you were also discriminated. We feel the same way as you, but we prefer to conceal it by magic, " Valeera explained.

" Magic? "

" Yes, we use spells to travel across the world and hide our trueselves, " Siramis nodded.

" Methu, I'm sorry if I never told you about my friends, "  Camilla turned to her boyfriend and humbly spoke.

" I understand, Camilla, " he relented. " They have some reasons for hiding their true identities. " Then, he looked at the trio and asked, " Tell me, have you been threatened by the humans or any entities who would try to harm you? "

" Yes, sire, " Carnell heavily sighed and spoke. He and his companions casted a spell, revealing their elongated ears and agile bodies.

" We believe there are some dark mages in our world who are trying to eliminate our existence, " Siramis explained. " We, the elves of the Light, have been searching for the man from the Heavens with the Powers of the Light Soul. "

Methu-Selah listened and remained silent. In the past few months, he was being stalked by a mysterious cloaked being. He could sense using his Kree Cosmic Awareness about the person being mentioned. Yet, he wondered why he was being followed by that person.

" Methu? " Camilla called her boyfriend's attention and noticed his sudden silence. " Are you alright? "

" Dark mages, they have been bothering me these days, " the Kree Eternal anxiously answered. " I don't have any intention to harm them. I'm just here on this planet to enhance your knowledge and technology for your benefit's sakes. I've never been a threat to all of you. "

" Methu, you have been a good help in our world for the past five years, " Carnell replied and held his cup. " The dark mages might be lurking after you, because you have the power of the Light Soul. If something happens to you, you must find a worthy successor or a descendant who can carry it. Or even find another person who has the same powers as yours. "

" I'm seeing that possible future, Carnell, " he said and looked at Camilla, seeing a descendant of hers and his own son who could carry the Light Soul from him. Then, he saw a dark winged angelic being who joined Camilla's descendants as the Light Soul bearers.

" Methu, I think it would be better if we join with them to Britannia and live a quiet life away from the Dark mages, " the blonde lady suggested and sighed. " However, we are still waiting for my cousin's approval to get us married. "

" You are planning to get married? " Valeera asked curiously.

" Yes, " Methu-Selah and Camilla said in unison.

" Congratulations! If that happens, you will be out of the Roman Empire and travelling across seas and oceans to the island of the Elves which is our home, " Siramis cheerfully mused.

" I think so, if Caracalla permits and blesses our marriage, " she nodded.

(THE NEXT DAY: 8:20 AM)

Donning in a velvet tunic and royal blue robes, Methu-Selah was talking to a group of Roman soldiers, builders, a consul, and the one-in-charge, Septimius Severus. They were in the plains of Wissous, Rungis, Chilly-Mazarin and Morangis which they were improving the structure. The Kree Eternal studied the aqueduct and the remaining areas to be built. He wanted to do some further inspection if the water would flow to its destination. The rest agreed to him and started to check the aqueduct before extending it. Suddenly, he caught his attention to the pale looking woman in dark robes.

" Non es ex hac tellure, magna caerulea. (You are not from this planet, you great blue one.) "  she telepathically spoke.

Methu-Selah was supposed to join the group, but he heard the woman's voice from his mind. He suspiciously looked at her. The woman smiled at him, implying to follow her. The blue skinned one exasperatedly sighed and turned to everyone.

" Ius redibo, omnes. Modo plus temporis postulo ut circumspiciam. (I'll be right back, everyone. I just need more time to have a look around.) "  he said to them and left the surrounding aqueduct premises when they nodded at him.

The Kree Eternal walked to the forest and used his Cosmic Awareness, reading the woman's mind from a distance. He found out that she had no intention to harm him and needed some conversation. He sighed in relief, followed her trail, and spotted the woman leaning on a tree trunk.

" Venisti mecum loqui, sed occupatus sum cum quibusdam in aquaeductu laborantibus. (You have come to talk to me, but I'm very busy with some people working at the aqueduct.) "  he sternly spoke.

" Meae paenitemus, Magne vir ab astris. Non vult munia inferat nunc. adsum loqui. Ita sum libenter audire extraterrestralem sicut linguam nostram loqui potes.My apologies, O Great man from the stars. I don't mean to intrude your duties right now. (I am here to talk. I'm so pleased to hear an extraterrestrial like you can speak our language.) "  she calmly spoke.

" Gratias tibi ago, domina. Quaeso te ipsum inducere. (Thank you, lady. Please introduce yourself.) " 

"  Selene Gallio venefica mihi nomen est. Ut me unum e tenebris magiis consideres. Sentire possum te vires animae lucis inhibere, mi genitor. (My name's Selene Gallio, a witch. You may consider me as one of the dark mages. I can sense you are inhibiting the powers of the Light Soul, my dear sire.) "

" Non habeo consilium tibi, domine Gallio, laedere. (I don't have an intention to harm you, Lady Gallio.) "  Methu-Selah seriously answered.

" Ita facio. I. verbo tecum opus est. (So do I. I need a word with you.) " Selene sweetly smiled.

(Author's note: Sorry long post for this chapter. I've been busy doing real life and other things. It's my sick leave this week which I have a chance to write a chapter before the finale. I'll make time to write this as well as the other series. So stay tuned.)
