Introduction
A bright sunny day is the weather for a land today. There is not a cloud in this blue sky, but there is the sun standing at its peak, as it brings light and warmth to the land.
The land itself is completely covered in grass which bend as a gentle breeze sweeps across, though the area is not flat at all, the area is littered with hills that dot the landscape. Almost as though they mark the territory.
On top of one of the hills, in fact this one is the biggest of the lot is a tall teenage female.
The female teenager is a Caucasian of average but attractive build, with dark red eyes and hair that is a dark black colour, and very long in length with bangs across the fringe. Her hair is tied in pigtails by large blue bows.
Her outfit consists of a black and white tank top with a blue belt below her bust, and a large blue ribbon above her breasts with a gold diamond on it. She wears a blue pleated mini skirt with a larger black belt. For footwear she wears royal blue stockings that are spiked at the hemline. Her stockings are held up by belts and buckles. She wears boots over it that go up to her knees which are grey with black stripes, along with a spherical gem on top of each foot. For her arms she wears black shoulder pads with a buckle that connects to some black sleeves that cover her lower arms. At each of her wrists is a spherical gem on the sleeve, and that is where it opens out in a spiked pattern.
The lady in black carries in her right hand a black sword but nothing else.
The lady looks around her observing her surroundings as the breeze gently blows her pigtails. Though she appears calm as she appreciates the weather being perfect, she can't help but feel concerned.
"mmmmm…where am I? I don't recognise this place, I don't even remember getting here. It's not like I'm lost or anything, but I'm not exactly familiar with it either. I wonder where my loyal hardworking sister is? There doesn't seem to be any of my wonderful subjects or anyone for that matter. Maybe I'll just explore I should be fine, it's a beautiful day and it's not like I'm in danger or anything." The young woman thought.
It was at that moment she called out for her sister as her voice echoes in the wind across the hills. She does this a few times but with no response, she decides to advance in a random direction still calling out her name.
She tries to look for signs of civilization: be it people or buildings or even any objects, but she doesn't see anything but lots of grassy hills all across the landscape, despite this she doesn't give in. She continues to look and continues to yell her sister's name as loud as she can.
After a brief while of this repeated action an echo could be heard of her very own name being called out. Despite it being faint she is still able to hear it and so she rushes towards there with maximum speed, her legs working as rapid as possible towards the voice. No thoughts of concern reach her mind at this point, as she's determined to follow the voice and she has faith it belongs to her own sister.
After a while of sprinting the young lady catches her breath as she's bent over clutching her knees as she's panting, breathing rapidly. She then looks in front of her only to see a tiny person far away waving towards her. In response she waves back followed by another sprint towards her with which the "tiny person" runs towards her as well.
It's not long before they stop next to each other as they both sit on the grass desperate to recover their energy from their sprint.
The person next to the young lady is another young lady only she's younger. The younger lady's appearance is quite similar only her black hair is reasonably long and has two blue bows on top of her head, one for each side. Her eyes are also red like her older sister but a more darker red. For clothes she wears a black dress that covers her torso with blue ruffles around the waist. She also wears knee length black boots with a blue outline of a circle on each toe, and she also wears long black fingerless gloves that cover her arms completely, on top of the hands is a blue outline of a circle. In her hands is a chu-ko-nu, a repeating cross bow.
"Noire it's so good to see you big sister." The younger lady spoke with glee and a smile.
After that comment a smile formed across the older lady's lips.
"Like wise Uni my younger sister." She replied.
"Do you have any idea where we are Noire? This doesn't look like anywhere in the Lastation empire." The young sister spoke with concern she's clearly thinking.
"I'm not sure but it could be for all we know, we could be in our home country in the middle of the English countryside, I hope our subjects are OK though, they must be worried about us, not that I'm really worried or anything but I am a bit concerned I must admit." The older sister also spoke in a similar way.
As Noire spoke to Uni, the older sister then notices something unusual in the youngster's arms.
"I wonder what's happened to your Barrett 50 cal. Sniping rifle Uni?" Noire asked Uni puzzled, deep in thought.
"I'm not really sure but maybe our location has something to do with it. Not like I'm unhappy or anything, I mean I know chu-ko-nus like the back of my hand and I have plenty of spare ammo in my pockets. It's just an ancient assault rifle, I like this weapon." Uni explained casually while she shows her sister the weapon.
"Hmmm a chu-ko-nu eh, we must be in Ancient China then, but when in its history exactly? Hmmmm….. I'm glad we're not attacked or anything but there doesn't seem to be anyone about. We should get going there has to be a village nearby or something." Noire proposed.
"Sure, it'll be fun to have a walk together just you my wonderful sister, me and nature." Uni spoke. She sounded genuine but she also sounded nervous.
"Heh heh…yeah Uni, I can't complain at the situation: We're together, the weather is nice and we're in peaceful surroundings, not a single sign of chaos." Noire also spoke in the same way as her younger sister.
Though both of the sisters love each other very much and will happily do anything for one another, due to the way they're wired as people, they feel embarrassed expressing their true love for one another as sisters or even spending time together out of pleasure, despite this they do get on and there has never been a time when either of them bickered or been nasty towards each other.
With both in agreement of the plan they decide to have a walk in one direction, any direction where with luck they'll be able to get their bearings.
As they walk up and down hills of various gradients, doing so for what has felt like hours, they begin to have thoughts of concern, concern that they still don't know where they are and there seems to be no end to this hilly landscape but as they keep walking, Uni then hears a faint voice cry out.
"Do you hear that Noire?" Uni asked.
"I'm not sure I've gotten used to the calm quiet breeze, but I think I might have heard something." Noire asked puzzled with what she herself has heard.
"Yeah it sounded like a person calling for help but the voice isn't very loud at all." Uni asked also thinking.
Both of them then rush towards the echo as fast as they can, hoping they can help the person out in time. Despite the steepness of some of the hills they have to run upwards, they keep running as fast as they can as the cry for help is consistent, as they both run they try to yell back that they're coming but the cry for help is just the same; The person probably didn't hear Noire or Uni though it did not deter them.
Thanks to the call for help not stopping, the "not very loud voice" becomes louder, at a point when both of them are at the top of the hill they then see a young girl in the distance. She appears to be a short haired brunette wearing a light blue hat, a light blue dress that covers her arms and torso, light blue stockings and blue shoes with a staff in her hand. The young girl is waving her arms screaming frantically for help.
"Hey that's Rom over there!" Uni called out.
"I hope she isn't too scared come on let's go!" Noire replied, with the way she spoke she sounded quite urgent.
The young girl appears to have noticed the two sisters but unfortunately she quickly sits down, curls herself into a ball and has her head tucked in her arms. She also appears to be shaking in fear, perhaps upset.
"Not that I'm really worried or anything, but it does concern me that she must think we're bad people." Noire commented sounding quite glum and demoralised.
"Yeah this must be down to what Blanc has told her about us." Uni said sounding low herself.
"Can we blame her though? It is rather unfortunate that until just recently we have never been able to get on very well, but still we need to go to Rom before she freaks out even more. With luck we can convince her we're friends and return her to Blanc." Noire said looking and sounding determined.
"Agreed, I just hope we can find Blanc here and their sister Ram." Uni replied sharing the same optimism.
With that agreement they both carry on heading towards Rom's position while thoughts race through both of their minds on what to say to her and how to say it.
