721 Last day

Four months had passed since Erik's encounter with the Terrapedes and the Galewings.

The egg he made did hatch, and a young clone he named June birthed. The creature was like all the other ones. Elongated body belonging to a human with dark grey skin, but worm-like head with human features. Of course, June, as any other kid, showed great curiosity about its surroundings.

Like all of Erik's clones, it had the memories and half the abilities of its creator, making it exceptionally intelligent compared to other species on the planet. However, that did not fully satisfy its curiosity about the world and the nature of life.

To him, the memories resembled pictures he saw on TV. Their usefulness was limited to understanding the world around them, engaging in conversation, and learning proper behavior, but he remained childlike.
