Time past , days walks, ordinary chores and Homin talks.

The outposts had finally come to the lands on Atys and with them brought their part of what to make the continuous fate of the planet. Steadily it began to move towards the calm it once held.

It was then as the words of Guide Ranger Orphie Dradius reached the Homins. A note on the noticeboards told them that the Kitins had once more started to advance towards the homes of Homins, that they now was more fierce and angered then ever before. And that they had learned their lessons from previous storming. They were hardened in skin and mind to once more claim the throne upon Atys. But there was hope to find even in such dire news, for Atys holds a great treasure in its bosom, Homins. Orphie Draduis the brave and vigilant ranger had scouted out the Kitins before they were able to advance enough to gain an advantage. Thanks to this Homin their plans could still be stopped at its very beginning.

The note called Homins together, to join up side by side and to fight not for the lands of Zoraï only, but for Atys itself. Orphie also told that since the day Homins emerged from the Roots they had not only learned how to make a new start, but also found clues that would aid them when it came to understand the Kitin. Not only would Homins now fight for the survival of today, but also in attempt to make Atys a more secure place in the future. When reading this note many Homins though that they would now be able to make good use of all the training they had undergone, their skills would now be put to the test.

At the given time they arrived in Zora, the capital of Zoraï lands. Such sight there was to behold as Homin upon Homin came entering the town, it seemed even the Zoraï's themselves were surprised to see so many new faces and guests. What was even more delightful to see was that Homins had left all quarrels among themselves at home, they were now even if it be for a short time, united against the largest threat against them. They had spent time and strength to ready themselves for this task. Such life there was in Zoraï this day. Many was excited over what they would face and what challenges it could bring. Others found themselves nervous thinking about how these Kitins had been described. Still they were all determined to fight and do what was necessary to thwart the Kitins plans.

Soon Orphie Dradius joined in and told them that the destination was Desertstock. It might sound strange to some, as this place is often traveled especially by Homins that wish to see the world. Yet no such Kitins had been seen around this place where Najab's and Kipestas were more common. What they had not noticed was the tunnel the Kitins had successfully dug out in this place and it was through this their storm would begin. Hearing this the Homins instantly set out towards Desertstock. Many of the local fauna was wondering what be happening that day as the earth shook as if it quaked. It was the sounds of Homins feet that ran over the lands and was accompanied by the encouraging shouts of many voices. Atys had sent out its forces..

As they closed in on Desertstock some Najab's tried their luck in hunt but was greatly proved wrong and thus suffered defeat from the many Homins whom passed. Soon they scouted out where the entrance to the tunnel was and they stormed in ready to face their foe. At first it seemed to be quite an easy task for them to defeat the Kitins whom roamed inside of the tunnel. But soon they came to realize that they had met a foe that was far mightier in numbers then they. But strength is not always counted in numbers. Devotion, Courage, Determination and Bravery are some words that together can be united under a common word, strength. And this each and every Homin had.

A fierce battle began, Homins and Kitins where everywhere. Some fell quickly and some put up quite the struggle for the Homins. Some managed to pass the initial Kitins and continued towards the nest. It be known that once a Kitin leader has fallen many of its followers are placed in shock and distortion. But this could not possibly have been done without the brave Homins whom stayed and held the ground for those that sat out to find the Queen. Everyone did their part in battle, none was less significant the the other and soon they stood facing the Queen. As she saw them coming all the way into her lair she gave off a heart tearing roam and at an instant Homins were surrounded by Kitins more then the eye could count in a glimpse. And they all aimed for Homins nearby.

One might think that defeat was at hand when seeing this massive horde of Kitins, but do not doubt Homins, especially determined ones. As the Kitins at first had the upper hand in battle it was soon turned to their disadvantage. Cooperation adds to strength and it did not only do this, it also turned the battle into their fortune.

After a long fight and hard battle the Queen fell onto the ground, she was defeated. As she hit the ground she ripped up some dirt and in this pile the precious larva was found. It might sound a bit odd, but even from this much information was to be gained. Orphie grabbed the larva and placed in a bag for keep safe until it could be delivered onto the hands of the wise.

In joy the Homins returned to Atys to celebrate the fall of the Kitin Queen. As they sat down Orphie's friends told tales of the old in honor and memory of the previous encounters.

So yet another battle was placed in the history of Atys, the living planet full of life.

This night Zoraï came to life and the echoes of Homins was heard from far and near.
