Note: This has many fictional nations and fictional communities. If it happens to be somewhat similar to real life is a coincidence.
Prologue 1: Hunt the Demon.
I again started my journey searching for my main target, the mysterious fighter pilot whose nickname was the "Demon Lord of the Round Table" or "Cipher".
According to sources and my last interview with Pixy, he is a citizen of a small nation called Masia. I prepared all my equipment and went to Masia alone because this interview is classified. I bought my tickets and flew on Masian Airines.
On the plane all my emotions are with me, Fear, anger, excited, sad, happy and everything. To calm me down, I took my notebook and write down things that are needed. I am very afraid to meet him even Pixy told me that he "Cipher" is a nice guy. I landed on Masia International Airport at 1000 hours.
Time: 1030 hours
Location: Masian International Airport.
I arrived at Masian airport and wow such a beautiful airport. There was a slight delay at the airport with the luggage. As I walked to the main entrance, I saw a lot of people promoting their taxis and introducing their hotels. I tried to be cautious because Masia is known for their bad cabbies. Anyway I love their hospitality and make me to come here for a holiday again. I have this pouch strap on my neck and it has all my important documents like passport and visa.
Out of nowhere a man in his motorcycle came and snatches my pouch. I tried to chase him but he was too fast. The police spotted this and tried to chase the thief until suddenly a man moves his car and crash on the snatch thief. The man later came out of the car and beats up the person and talks in Masian language, the police came and calm him down, thanked him and arrested the thief. The man later walks to me and give me my back my pouch.
"Are you Brett Thompson? The reporter who made the reports about the Belkan War,"
I replied "Yes I am."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, are you here for a holiday or a job?" said the man with a happy smile.
"Well a both, sort of" I replied.
"Oh come I will take you to your hotel for free, anyway I was at the airport meeting some friends and don't worry. It is a pleasure to help you,"
The man was friendly, he helped me carried my bags and drove me to my destination. Well I got an opportunity for a free ride, how can I resist. Who knows those cabbies will charge me more. In the car, we both had some small chatter.
"Sorry about the incident, those snatch thieves never learn, I hope Masia accept the new law to reduce snatch thieves. Anyway which hotel did you book?"
"Hotel "Hill On" in the capital city of Masia,"
"Okay I will bring you there, I just want to know? Are you looking for this mysterious demon pilot?"
"Well…" I wanted to talk but I was worried maybe he is a conman or nice guy. I am totally confused but I have an urged that he is a nice guy.
"Don't you worry, I am a nice guy. I cannot blame you for being suspicious on me since my country is so messed up," said the man.
From here, I knew he was a nice guy.
"I am here to actually meet the Demon Lord of the Round Table or Cipher, I heard he lives here. Am I right?"
"He does, he is a very mysterious person but what I know he is a humble person, never show off his pride and a war hero." said the man with a slight on his face.
"Do you know him? Since you know a lot about it,"
"Let's say, I was close to him,"
"I see but how can I meet him? Since he is a very mysterious,"
"Ok, I will try help and arrange a meeting for you, if that is okay?"
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"I am sure, trust me," said the man. He did not sound like suspicious but somehow like Cipher has made a setup for me to arrive here. He knew I was here but I do not know where he is? I can feel he is watching me.
The young man dropped me at Hill On Hotel. He gave me his contact details and somehow put a time and location of an area. I don't know what is on the Demon's mind. He is a step ahead just like what many has said about him. I went to the hotel and checked in. I will go and have a good day's rest. This is one of my rough journeys with a serious jet-lag.
