While Akasha was handling some minor things, Jovian was currently standing in front of the Vosar family. When he disappeared, he had no opportunity to ask questions let alone to see where he was going. Once his blurred vision cleared, he was standing here facing these unknown people. Even Calisto had left him.
'What the hell? How can you bring me somewhere and just leave me with strangers!' He thought internally while looking at the six people. Usually, he would be stunned by the beauty of the ladies here, but currently he was only getting weird vibes. But waiting for answers wasn't his style so he spoke and spoke
"Yo! Who are you people?"
Hearing this the males around all smiled and one of them said
"Haha, he's truly one of us alright." This was Seth Vosar the 5th.
"Yea only someone from Earth would begin a conversation like that." Kaleb Vosar added.
Hearing the term 'Earth' and them saying 'one of us' put Jovian on edge. He knew panicking would be pointless though, when he first appeared he tried to assess their strength levels. He couldn't find the slightest thing which normally meant the person was stronger.
Way stronger.
With this in mind he simply played it cool and asked
"What do you mean one of us?"
This time the second oldest, Alisa Vosar spoke out.
"We are all from earth. From different time periods we all died and were transmigrated here one after another. You are the seventh one and we know this because all of us share a connection."
"Eh? Is this.... normal? You know for there to be seven transmigrators on a single world?" Jovian asked. Hearing that these people were transmigrators was a bit shocking, but not entirely. He has been around the most absurd person so he could hold up well with this news.
The six of them noticed this oddity, but they didn't mention it. Hearing his question Alisa spoke again.
"No, it's not. Well as far as we know it's not. That's beside the point; we wanted to meet you before the expedition to inform you of something. You must prepare much more than any other student because you will soon be needed.
This is because every time one of us has been transmigrated an apocalypse came right afterwards." Her tone had a hint of seriousness.
"Hmm an apocalypse? I'm sure all of this is no mere coincidence.... and how come I never heard of these apocalypses?"
"You're right this no mere coincidence at all, but this not something we can afford to face right now. Even we will find it troubling to go against such a person. We haven't found out the motive behind all of this, but we're certain it's not something good.
And the reason you haven't heard them before is because we covered them up. The other reason is because most people who were active during those events are always in seclusion." Alisa responded to Jovian.
The six of them simply watched as Jovian put on a look of contemplation. He had one hand on his chin and the other arm folded across his chest. After a few moments he nodded as if he had come to some sort of conclusion.
"So, what now? What do you need me for?"
This what he needed to know. For him to move appropriately from here on out he needed to know where he fit into all of this.
"Nothing for the moment. Just get stronger, we thought it would be best if we revealed our existence to you that's all." Alsia said as she tossed him three storage rings.
"These are also extra resources it should last you until the expedition ends. We will meet you again once you return."
Jovian caught the rings and nodded. Then Alisa sent him back to the warship.
When he left the oldest Vosar opened her eyes and spoke
"He's different or something is different around him...." Her words barely over a whisper, but the others heard her clearly.
"He's already at the Mythical rank at the age of what? 25?" Tess Vosar spoke. She was the youngest of the family.
"Yea that's absurd. Maybe he could be the key to us figuring out what hell is truly going on." Alisa added on.
"Maybe... let's keep paying attention to him." The oldest said.
When these words were spoken, they all left and did their own things.

After Akasha finished explaining some things to Amy and Celeste, he made it back to the ship. By the time he came back Jovian was already there, and it was time for them to leave. He was glad that he didn't have to wait any other time before they left.
He made his way back towards his companions and as he walked, he was appraising the others. While doing this he came across someone pretty interesting.
[Skye Astra]
Age - 71 years Old
Race - Human
Rank - Peak Rebirth
Law(s) - Law of Absolute Destruction and Law of Collapsing space.
Extra info - Regressor....

'A regressor, huh? This just became more interesting.... Depending on how long she lived she might be able to help me out big time.'
Thinking this he changed directions and approached her.
Skye was currently seated on a zafu with her eyes closed. Hearing the footsteps approaching her she opened her eyes. In front of her was a young man wearing black robes and black blindfolds. Seeing this she raised an eyebrow.
'Hmm? Well, this is different indeed. I don't remember ever seeing someone like him in my past life.... much less be approached by him.'
As she thought this Akasha casually sat cross-legged in front of her. He smiled and spoke.
"How come I've never seen someone as beautiful as yourself around? Oh, I'm Akasha by the way." Seeing the smile and hearing the casual tone he was speaking in Skye was a bit caught off guard. But she was someone who previously lived over 1,500 years so she wouldn't lose her composure so quickly.
She showed a smile of her own and spoke
"Well, I could ask the same you know. This is the first time I've seen you around and I'm Skye Astra."
"Haha sounds like we have something in common then. How about joining my group? I'm sure the others wouldn't mind adding a beauty like yourself to the mix." Akasha said as he began to stand up.
Hearing this Skye thought it over for a few seconds and then nodded her head.
"Sure, why not?"
She then got up and followed behind Akasha. While following she was thinking to herself
"Right, something like this certainly never happened. I'm sure I would've remembered being approached by such a character..."
When they made it to the others Akasha introduced Skye to them.
"This is Skye Astra, I just met her not too long ago. I figured she would fit nicely in our group.... so here she is."
As he said this Skye smiled and waved. She and the other exchanged greetings and began to learn a few basic things about one another.
While all of this was going on Skye was internally becoming more and more confused.
'Something is definitely off... I know all of these people except for Akasha. These people were all survivors along with me when shit hit the fan. Though this Jovian guy disappeared alongside those other 6 guardians.
So, I am not certain what happened to him. And now.... I can't even gauge their ranks..."
While she was thinking Liora appeared and spoke.
"We will now be departing towards Elun. As stated, before it will be about 5 years, so prepare well."
After saying this she disappeared, and the warships began moving.
The expedition has begun!
