The underground world beneath the eternal canopy was utterly silent.
It was a vast region, spanning many kilometers in every direction. The people of the Starhaven family who failed to bond with the spirits were going about their daily lives, dedicating their time to finding a way to finally bond with the spirits.
It was a depressing task. Living every day of their lives knowing that the rest of their family had branded them as trash, defects who needed to be discarded. Many in the underground world had come here against their will. The way unbonded Starhavens were treated in the sector was worse than the way animals were treated.
However, as terribly sad as their situation was, today was the day that would intensify it manifold.
As the people observed the ethereal spirits floating through the air, the underground world turned silent.
It was strange.
