&#x3C;p&#x3E;Chapter 107:&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;Tale of the Strongest Specie Part V: Midnight &#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Soon after hours passed, night awakened. Our first night at sea, as I stood by the wheel steering my drunken asleep crew to wherever. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;The seas were quiet, so even the slightest creak would catch my attention. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Hm&#x2026;?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;I see your still awake, Zeo!&#x201D; Marie&#x2019;s voice carried, behind me.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Ahh. Someone had to, while you all slept off your hangovers. Even the children are worn out.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;She sat at my side for most of the time I steered us to the south. We would occasionally speak, but it was not for long. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Many thoughts at first, we had a connection of sorts romantically.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;False pretenses&#x2026; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Marie and I are like distant brother and sisters. Though, we never mess around like the others because of our age. We do care for the best of the group. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Plus, I noticed how she was chattery with the Irish man Magnus in Ignards home. Then how she stares at his picture in the paper when no one is looking. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Marie&#x2026; I want to know something&#x2026;&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;What is it?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Her body tenses up, as she seemed concern what I was going to ask. One of my hands were stroking my beard, while the other held the wheel. My eyes remained in front of us at sea, but I glanced towards her when I asked what had been on my mind forever. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Why did you come with us? Between the two groups, it would have made more sense if you were with them? Not that we all have not enjoyed your company, Marie. It is something I want to know personal between the two of us.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;I see&#x2026;&#x201D; She said avoiding eye contact, looking out at sea also. Her arm resting on the rail beside her, while her hair blew behind her. &#x201C;You really must want to know, don&#x2019;t you?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;I would not have asked you that question, if I did not want to know.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;She chuckled a bit, raising her chin and giving a small smile. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Fair enough. In our world, I was not what you would have thought I was. At age seventeen, I had to defend myself against someone close to me who tried to hurt me. In shorter sense, I killed someone and became a murderer. I was incarcerated in prison for awhile, before the DA, shortened my sentence, getting me out of there. Nowhere to go and no one besides my family who despised me. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;The way you voiced your hope for finding freedom led me to your side. Not because Sophia was a girl who was alone with men. I wanted to find that same purpose with you. For so long, in our world that is looked at as supreme, just is not. People ignore serious matters, by looking at just the facts.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;I am happy to say that I was able to, after some time. You all became family in a matter of weeks. We have made so many memories, with such little time. In this life, people see me for not of what I was in my past. They, look at who I have become and love that, Marie. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Zeo&#x2026; people follow you and call you Captain because of that dream you casted into a vast sea. Most people are afraid to find a line to create their own freedom, but you opened that door. We respect you to the highest value, which is why even after seeing some of the others in the paper. I still want to stick by you&#x2026;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;You are our hero. You are a mistaken beast to those who do not know you. That is why I came with you. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Thank you, Zeo&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Her explanation finished, as shocking and empathizing. Just like Sophia and I, she was alone. Blade told me how he was alone in our world also and Alec was still a mystery at times. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Learning about her crimes, did not derail my opinion of her in the slightest. She garnered some hidden respect from me.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Was our world so cruel, that we saved and brought to another? &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Her point was valid, before we continued. I pulled her to my side thanking her for being with us. Without her, we would not have gotten far. She is a den mother of sorts at times, as well as the beauty that gets us through tough situations. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Daylight and night birthed and died continuously, day in and day out. We traveled to the city of Darmin exploring what the country looked like after its saviors ended the reign. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;We shopped around and stayed in the city district for days, before setting out to sea and exploring other small islands. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;A month and a half had passed since we hit the sea. We explored about ten different unknown islands, all with different variants to them. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Our next destination was Belrim, but before we needed to take one last detour. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Capta- I mean BOSS!!! We got an island&#x2026; looks like another small one, we could take a break at.&#x201D; One of the crew members hanging from the sails yelled out. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Can we get close, Alec!?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;My voice echoed, as Alec stood in his nest observing the surroundings from a far. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Alec focused, using his x-ray ability to see behind the large mountain before us. Most of the men readied on the ship deck. Sophia and Marie stood at my side, while Blade rested on the rail, sword on his shoulder. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;UH&#x2026; big oaf&#x2026; There are two ships docking at opposite sides of the island. I do not believe they see each other, nor do they look friendly! How should we proceed?&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;I quickly bit my lip, as the island we wanted claim, already had been taken from us. The crew looked at me on what to do. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;A shadow fell over my face from the predicament we were in. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Marie takes the helm, I am going in!&#x201D; I ordered. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Everyone&#x2019;s faces exhilarated. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;OIIII!!!!!!&#x201D; The crew responded back. &#x201C;BOSS ZEO IS GOING IN!!!&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;I am going to take a small team with me, in case things get hairy.&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Well, suppose, I should head out with you. Can&#x2019;t tell if it&#x2019;s the bastard Demon inside of me or the sea.&#x2019; Blade voiced, nodding his head to me. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;I gave him the approval, Alec insisted on providing cover from the nest. He wanted a challenge with his archery skills, anyways. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Zeo-sir&#x2026; I believe I should go as well. My ability could be of use to you!&#x201D; Kroque said. Blade agreed, which only gave me more confidence to pull the trigger bringing him.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;We cannot get to close, so we need to get over there somehow&#x2026;&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;I continued to think, until I watched Zeronas and Sophia observing us with the thought of the childs teleportation ability.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;Too much of a risk&#x2026; but we cannot risk damaging the ship or harming the others. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Zeronas! Can you teleport us to the island?&#x201D; I asked.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;nbsp;&#x201C;Woah! Hold on, Zeo&#x2026; he is only a child!&#x201D; Marie disagreed. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Whoosh! &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;The force was from some type of an attack on the island. Whoever was there must have been battling already. A rift appeared above the island, from the clashing of swords. This was going to be a warzone. Zeronas nodded his head, telling me he cannot throw something to replace us with that far. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;Marie continued to disagree with the plan, but it was all we had. Blade handed me some small rocks he kept. I threw them with all my force, before Zeronas casted his spell. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Now boy!&#x201D; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Replacement!!! SWITCH!!&#x201D; He yelled out, facing his palm to the direction of the island. His fingers snapped the spell.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;We were now into the sky. The four of us who were destined to go. Zeronas was to not battle. Besides whom knew what was here on the island. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x9;&#x201C;Get ready&#x2026; We have a war on our hands!&#x201D; I said pulling out Bankuri.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;strong&#x3E;A war that has caused a continuing rift between two worlds!&#x3C;/strong&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Mysterious rifts open around the globe, transporting regular people to another world. On a normal day a teenage boy, Jai Marshall and friends are sucked in. The group is forced to serve as champions of the world. This sequence of events is not at random considering Jai&#x2019;s older brother Omar was formerly a champion of this world. Jai will do anything to ensure the safety of his friends inside a world where the unexpected is constantly broadened. Even though the group is equipped with ancient abilities from past champions, the task they have been given is a great mountain to climb. Can Jai and his friends survive this world?&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;br&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
