## SPCT-RIM

The most dire challenge posed by the Inter-net land was the colossal canyon that emerged after the meteor collision. This deep fissure broke the vast expanse into two distinct regions, forever known as the "SPCT-RIM," symbolizing the great divide.

The Engis embarked on construction efforts on both sides of the SPCT-RIM, strategically dividing their men as needed. 

However, the once-natural landscape of the land was now leveled. Yet, the underground cave systems endured, providing a foundation for their new endeavor—building subterranean cave settlements on each side.

Thanks to the marvel of light-emitting magic, underground cities were meticulously crafted on both sides of the "SPCT-RIM."

Intriguingly, each side employed distinct magical techniques, resulting in varying hues of illumination. This distinction allowed people to choose the color of their preference, adding a touch of personalization to their underground abodes.

While the enchanting magic unfolded below ground, a remarkable revelation occurred above. Engis laboring on the surface uncovered a transformation in the land's silica caused by the meteor impact. This newfound material, when melted and molded, produced a unique glass capable of shielding people from the harshest of elements.

This discovery marked the turning point for the Inter-Net, transforming it into the City of Glass Domes, a marvel of magnificence. Each region's distinctive magical light imbued it with its true beauty, rendering it a breathtaking spectacle in every sense.

With the radiant yellow and white light on the right side and the vibrant neon glow on the left, the City of Glass Domes in the Inter-Net became a mesmerizing fusion of two distinct worlds, a testament to the ingenuity of the Engis and the beauty of their dual magic.

"So, I hope you enjoyed the story. Left or right?" inquires the officer at the gate.

"I'm asking you, sir. What's your name?" officer persists.

"Who, me? I'm Geak, ma'am," says the young lad.

"Welcome to Inter-Net. Which side do you reside on, left or right?" the officer at the gate inquires.

The young lad, like any of us, was clueless. He looked at his little sister and realized they were now one step closer to HAPI-NS. Left or right didn't matter to them.

"Hey Lils, what's your favorite color?" Geak sat down on his knees and asked his little sister.

She chuckles and points, her tiny finger guiding Geak's gaze towards a particular hue, a simple yet profound choice in a world where colors held special meanings.....
