Hezago knocked vigorously on Zack's door, impatient. “Are you done? you're taking a bit long-” “Yeah, one second, let me take care of this…” Exactly 2.689 seconds later, Zack opened the door, ready.

He was wearing a light yellow T-shirt, beige cargo pants, and white top shoes, paired wonderfully with black socks. “Finally! Now we can go!” Hezago said, over energetic. Zack smiled somewhat tiredly at him as he was pulled toward a portal at the end of the hall.

They appeared at what was supposedly a train shed on the grounds of the palace, which was slightly dusty, at that. Hezago dusted his white dress, a balloon dress at that, and checked his (also white) elbow length sleeves for dust, which proved non-existent. His heels sparkled, untouched.

“So, what are we doing here?” “You'll see~!” Hezago said, smiling at his fiance rather sweetly. He clapped his gloved hands, and the shed spontaneously transformed into a far more extravagant building. Quite spacious it contained, yes the train that was already there, the Borearcis Prototype, along with many shelves of tools, as you would expect, overly large cauldrons of simmering solids and liquids, and vials upon vials of unknown solutions, and many cans of paint.

Overall it looks like somebody mashed and engineers garage, a potioneere’s area and an arts and crafts store together without (miraculously) setting it on fire.

“So! Have you realised what we're doing?” Hezago said, silver eyes gleaming happily. Zack is paused, thinking, with a hand on his chin. He looked at the surprisingly clean and looking train (for a prototype) and caught on, realising. “It's for something to do with a train-” (“obviously,” Hezago said) “-so I'd say we're going to make this thing living.”

“Ding ding ding! Correct!” Hezago said, buoyant.”But,” he said, running over to a cauldron, “We’re gonna do this manually! A personalised living train! What do you think?” Zack smiled although a bit troubled. Hezago had told him that there was no system in place for a living locomotive of any sort, as the last planet with such is gone, so attempting to base this off of Professor Michelton could range from success to a video game glitch.

“Sure, sounds okay.” Zack said, standing next to Hezago. “But I don't really know how to do this, so…” “Ah, don't worry, it's fine!” Hezago said. “If anything goes wrong I can fix it in a jiffy~! Now,” a green vial appeared in his hand. “-let's get started~!

He bounded up to the train's final and poured whatever it was in. The frontal access to the broiler of the train, a sleek pane of gold coloured metal, turned into a blank slab of greyish skin, which made it look like one of those cartoon trains but without its facial features. “Zack, can you hand me the vial with the blue stuff in it?” “M'kay, Hun.” A vial of said blue liquid appeared in Zack's hand, and handed it to a lightly giggling Hezago.

“Hmm? What's got you laughing?” Zack said, raising an eyebrow. “I'm finally taller than you!” And if you think about it, it was technically true when watching him float up there. Zack chuckled, grinning. “Finally about time. Also, I can see up your-” “Zack!” Hezago said, blushing furiously. He stayed silent for a minute or so, doing something with the train's funnel.

“C-can you get me the c-cauldron with the purple slimy stuff in it?” Hezago said, stuttering. Zack smiled. “You're cute when you stutter~” Hezago turned red once again, but stayed silent, indignant. Zack, burly and muscular, carried the cauldron without difficulty to Hezago's side, who had now descended from his floating position. Hezago, wand in hand, magicked the substance to flow into the tunnel, still blushing lightly.

The train game facial features with the side effect of it’s body turning a deep purple. It's eyes fluttered open and then back shut. The soon to be sentient train was in almost exact copy of the Borearcis before this process had begun, although being the prototype, it had one major difference. The prototype ran on coal and Diesel, whereas the final version ran on a Dust V engine. A major difference in terms of speed.

“Okay, now it's organs are in place, we need a name for it.” “Hmm…” Zack said, looking at the engine's lax face. “He looks like a Leonardo to me.” Hezago tensed ever so slightly, which was just enough for Zack to take notice of. “We can choose something else, I don't mind.” Hezago breathed. “Thank you. Let's go with Oliver.”

A bucket of Oliperhiviumese appeared, floating next to Hezago. A vial of orange liquid appeared in his hand, half full, and he added it to said bucket, to partially neutralise which it reacted to by turning clear.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAf3iZ3zFIwf
The necessity for this action was due to Oliperhiviumese’s rate of biological destruction as a magical element. When it makes contact with any living being, it starts to decomposing it instantly, leaving said living thing only 2 days to live. It cannot transfer from one being to another, as that would cause epidemic. Also, when making contact with a thing with eyes, it will decompose eyes first, which usually causes them to explode. As of this point in time, there was no antidote to such, unless including that of a Borealis's magic.

“Okay,” Hezago said, with bated breath. “Let's hope this works.” Zack, placing a hand on his shoulder, smiled and said, “I'm sure it will.”

And sure enough, it did. Upon the solution completely entering the funnel, it blinked into reality, a slightly disgruntled look on his face. It then spoke.

Oliver than someone the pair of glasses, cleans them with a floating handkerchief, and magicked them onto his face. A book called ‘The workings of a living locomotive; by Hezago Borealis' promptly appeared on a table nearby, signalling Hezago's satisfaction with the results.

Oliver took notice of them, and quickly chugged backwards, confused. “Who are you?” Hezago spoke, joy in his tone.”We made you, oliver, and it's time I gave you a soul.”

A vial of blinding white liquid appeared in Hezago's hand. He walks up to the train side and reached a handout. “May I?” Oliver, visibly nervous, muttered a yes. He opened the vial into his hands, and upon flowing out, it turned into a bright orb the size of a standard mug. With Zack at his side, Hezago put the sphere into Oliver's funnel. The train shuddered, the orb feeling rather cold, but a lovely warmth spread through him upon its settling. Oliver now had a soul.

Hi! Welcome to the Borealis's list of fun facts!

The Dust Engine series was a series of dust engines that came into proper fruition after the creation of an engine catalogue that would be used for the Galaxian transport system in the days of [old] Galaxia. The Dust V was the only one made by Sol thyself, with other editions made by the rest of the government not being as efficient as it. The Dust V, as of present day is not available to the public, as it is used for the rulers and presidents transportation needs. The Dust V Beta, a less efficient version of the Dust V, has been employed in the military, keeping it the fastest of itself around.
