So we finally started the meeting. Chief Glare and Juila told us that there was something going on at Access Glacier and that they wanted us to check it out. Nothing out of the ordinary, the only unusual thing was that we were being sent together. Normally quests like these were given to anyone that was a bronze rank or higher. I wonder why we have to go and do it.
"Awesome!" clearly Koh was very excited to be doing something like this. No scratch that, he is excited to be able to take on any quest. Especially a Union quest, regardless of rank.
Chief Julia was the first to speak after his outburst, "Sayo." she called and I looked up at her, "I would like to to speak to you after this meeting." I nodded and after everything was concluded we left. "You will meet up with Koh at Access Glacier later."
"I kind of figured that out." I replied rather snarkily but repectful nonetheless.
"I thought that you would. You've always done so well with drawing your own conclusions." said Chief Julia softly, almost tenderly but yet sort of snarkily back.
Something was up.
"So what was it that you wanted to speak to me about Chief Julia?"
"Well...I wanted to tell you that right now things are kind of weird in the digital world, so be careful when you go there. There have been odd fluxes and we can never be too cautious. Something is wrong but the reports say that everything is as should be. Both you and Koh should still be careful, especially you. Watch your back and if anything odd happens come right back." she smiled and touched my face. "No quest is worth having you get hurt."
"You don't have to worry about us, we'll be fine. After all, we managed so much three years ago, surely we're better now."
"I know, you two have gotten so much stronger, but still. There are things out there stronger than you can imagine right now. Just be careful and watch each other's back."
"I will. Don't worry."
"You should get going now, Koh is probably waiting for you."
I nodded and went to the warp pad and headed to Access Glacier. When I got there Koh was nowhere in sight. I sighed. So Koh was late again. Surprise, surprise. He showed up eventually and I only rolled my eyes.
"What took you so long?"
"Well Chief Glare wanted to talk to me for a bit so I stayed, and I needed to restock on a couple things." he said offering a smile. Trying to play it safe, he knows all too well that I don't like tardiness.
"Mm...okay." however suddenly I was overcome with a feeling of unease. Something really wasn't right with this place. But I brushed it off and started to walk. "Let's get going."

I got to Access Glacier. Sayo was there waiting for me.
Uh oh.
I'm in for it. She gets pretty irritated when someone is late, always the model Tamer and perfectly proper. It's amazing how we get along, though come to think of it she didn't say anything at all when I was late for the meeting earlier. She must've not wanted to get all mad at me in front of the Chiefs.
"What took you so long?" she asked.
"Well Chief Glare wanted to talk to me for a bit so I stayed and I needed to restock on a couple things." I responded, smiling as bright as I could manage.
"Mm okay." came the reply as she started to walk, "Let's get going." wow. I didn't get in trouble with her, something must be wrong because I should be just about dead right now.
"Hey, Sayo? Are you okay?" I asked falling in step next to her.
"Yeah I'm fine." was the short reply.
"Are you sure 'cause you seem kind of..." I couldn't think of the word but I knew that she seemed kind of...well, not herself.
"It's nothing for you to fret over."
"Okay then. Whatever you say."

"Yeah I'm fine." I said even though I knew that it was a lie. The uneasy feeling wouldn't leave and something was poking at the back of my mind. Try as hard as I might to deny or ignore it I knew something wasn't right.
"Are you sure 'cause you seem kind of..." he left off at that part of the sentence. He didn't have to say it, I knew what he was going to say.
"It's nothing for you to fret over." I responded trying to sound like my usual self. Not too fast otherwise he'll get tipped off. And it's just a feeling. There's no proof of anything and there really wasn't a need to tell him anything at all.
"Okay then. Whatever you say." I let a small sigh escape my lips. It was a good thing that he tended to listen to whatever I said and take it as the truth.
So we continued to walk in silence until we came to a part of Access Glacier that I never knew about, oddly it had been sealed off from the rest Access Glacier for as long as I could remember. There was ice everywhere, and in some places the ice was spiked up like daggers. It looked very deadly and for a split second I realised how dangerous this quest might turn out to be. The ice towered over us, there was very limited room for escape if we needed to and it was a bad place to be if we got attacked. The uneasy feeling came back full force and hit me. Hard. Turning in a full 180 I saw it.
A/N: So this is the second chapter, sorry that it was so short. I am tired from the field trip today so I made a short chapter. Can anyone guess what it was that Sayo saw?
Love,
Dragon
