A Second Chance

Erich awoke with a start in a medical bed in his private palace. Tia's robotic form was staring at him with a wide smile on her pretty face as she welcomed the man back to the world of the living.

"Welcome back master... Do you mind explaining to Tia what exactly happened down there?"

The last thing Erich remembered after being ripped from the hive mind, and cast out like a leper, was the sight of Terminus and her hive going into a state of frenzy with the intent to rip Erich apart and devour the world of Midgard. This was following by a large flash, and then total darkness.

It took Erich several seconds to collect his thoughts, but when he realized the world was in danger, he quickly asked Tia about Terminus.

"Tia! The Hive they're going to devour the world!" 

Tia, however, shook her head, and grabbed hold of Erich's hand, assuring him that everything was alright.
