Chapter 1- The Chamber It had been three days since the mysterious, purple colored cardboard box was brought to the Calonian research facility, just a week after the Great war had ended. Egor and Anatoly would normally have discarded the box, but the mysterious purple fumes coming out of it compelled them not to. Ever since the box had been brought to their chamber, Egor and Anatoly had kept a constant check on it; its sudden vigorous movements, the way the fumes fused with the air, the often light pounding noises coming from within...they noted down all of it.

Calonia used to be a huge country...but due to some political and religious differences in the outlooks of the people, a lot of the states split up to form individual countries. Argenia was one of these newly formed countries, and what remained of Calonia, wanted its territories back. Anatoly and Egor drove around eastern Pentin for about three hours, but to no avail. Although some people did tell them the locations of the people with the names "Antin" and "Nina", none of the sources located ones that were twins or with the surname "Gregory".
