'Whistle'  

Neva turned her sight to the window to see a green light pierce through the window far away in the sky without thinking, the window as if she had been charmed to see a green light leaving a trace of light behind it Accompanied by a loud whistle that becomes louder and louder echoes in distance hurting her ear shock at what she is hearing she says: no no no that can't be right it can't be one of the intem.

The sound of a whistle sound like a bomb coming from the sky becomes louder and louder interrupting Neva's thought process looking at it with fear in her eyes the meteor is shaped like a diamond with a long depth point to the ground that sealed monsters within it that can destroy cities and kill people.

Neva looked out the window to see what was falling from the sky with flaming green mana leaving behind it straight of green light clear to the spectator in the middle of the night in colorful jade light that looked bigger and bigger as it illumined in the darkness of night if is not for the green light you would think of it at the noon.

 Neva runs to the window to see what happening without thinking out of curiosity, she falls on the ground with her weak body that lacks good health to walk freely.

At the same time, the meteor crashes trees as comes from far away hearing that ominous sound for the first time in her life, seeing in the worst time it could come at.

Before she knows what is going to happen the intem hits the house.

 Its terrifying speed was enough to shatter the windows of their house from the air blowing by the intem and it was powerful enough so the impact of it hitting the ground dug a big hole from 10 meters outside the house to the inside.

 (the sound of it landing made all the people in the nearby village turn their heads in response to the booming sound, to see a trace of green light to the house of the Chest family on top of the hill)

Most of the villagers under Chest Hill ran to the Chest family house to see what happened that left a trace of light in their house that was accompanied by that sound.

They gathered to go to see what landed above the hill who didn't see it got out of their house asking what was happening what his happen what hit the hill.

 Is it what it is that is Heard of in stories?

 As Dmitri chop wood to ease his mind when he sees something that is falling from the sky, he is astonished by what he is seeing in silence doesn't what is that thing that becomes bigger and bigger moment after moment.

 At that moment in young boy's mind forgets his misery of what Gale had done to him and wishes for it to be what he thinks it is as he remembers one of the stories of the many stories that his grandfather uses to tell them about that big rocks that fall from the sky that's sealed with different types of monsters that gives treasures the least interesting thing in it is gold but still enough for a lot of peoples to risk Their life for against monster.

 But if they get lucky they can get enchanted artifacts or powerful weapons with magical powers or magical stones with a variety of effects, mana stones, and unknown artifacts before what makes him smile with excitement as a child sees candy.

 For sees one of the most mysterious things in the life of humanity soon in his own eyes, but Dmitri's smile doesn't last for long.

Dmitri's smile starts to vanish seeing it slowly approaching their house, in a blank eye it hits the top of the hill sending a blow of air to Dmitri even if he tens of meters away.

 His heart sank immediately as he thought it hit their house, he ran putting pressure on his injured leg leaving his axe and the chopped wood to see his family.

Gale woke up terrified seeing his mother on the ground, shattered glass all over her body, while his sister lying beside the bed deep asleep, trying to call his mom but couldn't, Gale threw away the blanks and walked out of their parent's bed.

 To see his mother make him feel sick and his legs make him dizzy, his body starts to feel a bit numb slowly walking trying not to step on the broken glass removing the glass over her and trying to lift her.

Gale's body shaking unable to do so, feeling weak, breathing heavily barely lifting her little before his body gave up and fell off.

 After facing the hard truth.

Gale starts to look for what happened, he goes to the window to see a digging mark coming from in front of his house to the entrance of his house, seeing down the destroyed house's porch.

 Asking himself what happened did a big monster comes and rampage in their house?

 But why their home entrance is destroyed like that, get away from the window what happened down there? Gale walks slowly out of the room to the hallway to the stairs takes the first step then stopped can't believe what he sees in the middle of the living room that flaming big rock.

Gale is astonished that it doesn't burn the wooden floor while it looks like it's burning. The flame of the intem moves slowly in front of his eyes touching the wooden ceiling doesn't understand how, why, what it is.

Dmitri ran as fast as he could to see the hole from meters away to the house the door of the house that disappeared.

 It doesn't ease Dmitri's concern at all or be relaxed, speeding more than he could handle moments of fear passing doesn't know what the intem do, did it hit his mom or younger sister or wounded brother.

Till he reaches the front door that was there when he left, he stops and looks to see his brother standing on the second floor staring at the living room to the green flame.

Gale hears the loud noise coming from the porch of their house, Gale sees his brother's face by the green light, sweating, and out of breath, Gale gives him a quick look before he turns his face back to the intem

Gale doesn't care about Dmitri who is on the verge of collapsing and doesn't ask or look again at him, moments pass, and Dmitri panting no word is said between them, Gale looks at the intem astonished while Dmitri looks at him.

Till Dmitri breaks the silence with a question at brother: Mom?

Gale answered quickly without thinking twice turning his back at what he had been looking at with hope and fear: Come Dmitri help me I can't lift Mom off the ground.

Gale Turned around and went back to his mom's room while Dmitri tried his best to take the stairs his legs shaking to see his mother lying on the ground surrounded by shattered glass window.

Dmitri ask angrily while clenching his fist: why did you leave Mom like that?

Gale answered with the shame of what he could do before easily but now he can't because of the injury that he made to himself: I couldn't lift her my arms hurting me.

Dmitri frustrated said: of course it will you shoot yourself do you know how much blood you lost from the woods till I brought you home clothes were soaked in blood 'Your blood' do you understand what you did to yourself and us do you..,

Gale interrupts him: I am sorry. Gale said it without looking at his young brother, his face looking at the ground. Gale continues: I did the best I can do for all of u...

 Dmitri interrupted him: no it isn't the best for us.
