9 Only One Shall Remain

He enjoyed the company of his kind, since if the clusters were to attack them, his kind would be used as bait.

But what he saw later on simply terrified him. It seems those clusters weren't concentrated at some point. They were all over, luckily for him and his kind, they only number a few, with their numbers he could simply escape them.

Soon he found out, that it wasn't just the clusters that would attack them. He found other different entities. And those entities would also directly attack them.
