Hello dear readers. Really quickly, thanks for reading because I'm grateful and secondly can we talk for serious right now. I apologize for my extreme focus on the ghosts, this will continue in this chapter, but I believe it'll start to break in chapter 5, so hold on until then these chapters are just getting us started. Thanks~
And also! I am officially on the schedule I plan to be on starting today. Once a month, around when Norihiro Yagi would've posted it. 2 times a month on special occasions or with special chapters. And in June I'll be posting 3 because I'm not going to be in Canada for 2 months, I'll actually be in Japan! Just so you know what to expect. Thanks. Again!

Chapter Three
Uncertainties Presence

Ten long days passed, and the ship finally docked a mere half hour walk away from where the Organization stood.
Helen shuttered at the sight, and how well preserved it was despite the events that occurred there. "Damn, this place is still creepy."
Clare felt a chill run up her spine as the large building came into view. The sight had caused a surge of emotion in her, that was unpleasant and visibly stiffened her. While everyone continued to walk her eyes stayed fixed on the large building that loomed over the Warriors the closer they got to it.
Mixed feelings filled the rest of group as they walked into the stone building, to be greeted by the unfriendly feeling of being watched that seemed to be apart of the building, and the equally as unpleasant memories of the events that took place in these walls as long as they have functioned as the organization.
Miria stopped inside the building, and looked at the other warriors. "Everyone, do a quick sweep of the building, just make sure we are alone, and meet back here when you're done"
Everyone nodded and took an area, walking the halls with ease.
Raki and Clare took a hall toward the left of where they had stood, behind a small group of others that broke off down different hallways as they continued to theirs, turning off into a large, stone, and dark room, several stories high.
"What is this place?" Raki asked, after minutes of walking past room after room in the hall of barred windows.
"This is where they kept some of us as trainees, we'd sleep in these rooms outside of any training." Clare looked inside one of the rooms on her right, and continued to walk, before point upward. "The other rooms are up there."
Dietrich and Anastasia walked on a stone ledge above them, with the rooms on their right, the two chatted casually amongst each other while looking into the rooms. On the ledge to the right of Clare and Raki, Helen and Deneve walked, doing the same as Anastasia and Dietrich. This continued with other warriors for a few levels above them. Raki stared in a moment of awe, before returning his gaze to Clare.
She slowly came to one of the barred doors and looked inside. She felt herself be hit hard by a wall of nostalgia when her eyes scanned the room that hadn't changed since she had used it as a kid.
"Was this where you stayed?" Raki asked, while looking through the barred metal door.
Clare nodded. "Yea, me and Elena stayed in there for a long time together... It's strange seeing it after all this time. It's strange seeing this entire place after all this time... This place housed others I never knew, and even some of the people I know, and knew before." Clare sighed, and continued walking. "It's also very sad."
Raki sped up to catch up with Clare as they finished their sweep. The two made it back to the group and waited briefly for the others to arrive. Miria was chatting with Rachel, Audrey, Anastasia and Dietrich, who had all made it back before the rest, while the others arrived. When everyone was finally together Miria stood in front of the group and took a deep breath.
She explained the war, the mainland as she did with her own team months prior, and the strange men who appeared on the shore to the Warriors, answering questions regarding the information and when everyone was clear on the situation she drew their attention back.
"I've come up with a plan, that puts the least of us at risk, and allows me to understand what actions need to be taken." Miria started. "I'll be bringing the other 'ghosts' with me to the mainland, but only us will be going at first because I'm not sure what plans the Asarakam have for our land but I want the rest of you to defend it. I spoke to these four here and they have been briefed on each job and place I suggested for protection, and how many need to go there. Those of us leaving will be back here as soon as we can, and I've told these four what to do in the event we don't return. When we do get back though, depending on the situation I'll come back with another course of action."
Everyone nodded, seemingly understanding the plans with no problem.
Miria smiled. "Thank you for your corporation, the 6 of us leave at noon tomorrow so if anyone needs anything from any of us before we go let us know. Until then, we will be staying here the night so what you do is up to you so long as it doesn't put yourself or others in danger." Miria finished, and everyone broke off into groups and scattered around the stone building. Raki and the ghosts stayed behind, talking amongst each other.
"We couldn't bring anyone else?" Helen asked.
"We aren't going there to do anything but look." Miria sighed. "We can't put anyone else at risk"
Helen looked at Miria. "Is it, really the best course of action? Maybe those men aren't even from this mainland!"
Miria nodded while listening to Helen. "They aren't from here." She started. "Them arriving here means that someone on the mainland still knows about this place, and we need to remember that Rubel got back there. He may've helped us before, but that doesn't mean he'll help us now. Not when he's back with the others he spied for."
Clare looked at Miria when Rubel was mentioned. "Do you think that he told them?"
"He would have had to, the organizations men got back, and he was back. They'd ask questions and even if he wanted to lie, he couldn't." Miria shook her head, and looked at Clare. "And you know better than anyone that he wouldn't have wanted to lie."
Clare nodded, and drew her eyes out the window. "He's proud of his hand in this outcome..."
Everyone fell silent to their thoughts for a long time, until natural conversations broke the silence between them.
When the sun began to rise the next morning, the first thing they did was leave to collect supplies for their journey, and by noon they were standing in front of the ship they hoped could make the journey, about to bid a farewell to their friends.
"We all wish you a safe journey." Galatea said while the girls stepped of the dock after loading the ship.
"And we wish you a safe time here." Miria nodded, scanning the group of warriors with both gloomy, worried, and yet brave faces while they watched their most experienced prepare to leave. "As long as you all remember what to do in the event we don't make it back, and keep everything I've said thus far in mind everything here should work out fine. I'm not sure exactly how long travel time will take, but if we aren't back in two years assume the worst unless given reason to believe otherwise." Miria smiled at all of them. "But I'm sure we will be back, so this is only farewell until then."
A group wide smile spread over each warrior at these words, and they all called and waved their goodbyes as the girls and Raki got back onto the ship.
Clare stopped for a moment and turned to Galatea. "I'm sure I don't need to say this, but keep an eye on Rabona while we're gone."
Galatea smiled. "Of course."
The two said their goodbyes and Clare caught back up to her friends on the ship.

The journey to the mainland took the better part of three weeks, and the group had gone through extreme conditions to get there, but as soon as land was in view the signs of their arrival to their destination were blatant.
They moved the ship to a place that they could dock it while keeping it concealed, and stepped off.
Helen fell to the floor the moment her feet hit solid unmoving ground and though the rest didn't react quite as harshly each had to take a moment holding to a tree or each other to be sure they got their land legs back.
"Land! Pure, solid, and unmoving land!" Helen cheered, when she finally managed to get herself off the ground.
"Helen shh, we don't know what we're around or where we are here, so it's best to keep it down." Miria ordered in a hushed tone, as she finished securing the ship to the land.
Helen nodded, clearly having forgotten and started to silently investigate the foliage and wildlife directly around them. When all was ready the girls snuck out of the foliage to be met by white sand, next to the water they had just freed themselves from.
"This is, a development." Helen quietly cooed, looking around herself.
"This is strange to say the least." Deneve agreed, with a simple nod, her eyes scanning the area around her.
"Uh- There are children." Yuma suddenly spoke, very quietly, drawing the eyes of her friends to a small bush not far off the beaches sand, where two boys and a clearly younger girl had their heads poking out staring in amazement at them.
"What should we do...?" Cynthia asked, glancing at Miria before drawing her attention back to the kids.
"Pretend we're lost." Miria suggested. "They've already seen us may as well make ourselves less suspicious."
"Pretending to be lost won't be hard, I mean we are lost." Helen sighed. "But let me talk to them." Helen walked closer to the bush slowly, and the kids just followed her with their eyes. "Hello there, maybe you've noticed but me and my friends over there are lost, could you help us?"
The oldest looking boy squinted his eyes at her. "Where are you from?"
Helen thought for a second, then laughed. "I have no idea! Somewhere far that way." Helen pointed inland somewhere randomly. "But you see we had to leave that place, and now we're looking for somewhere safe to stay for a bit."
The little girl suddenly spoke, in a very quiet voice. "Why did you have to leave..?"
"Adult reasons." Helen announced, but then cracked a long grin. "Mind helping us out?"
The kids glanced at each other before shuffling out of the bush, there was a moment of surprise when the group was able to see the way these children dressed. The boys were in mainly black and grey, dressed quite sharply, something you wouldn't see and official dressed in back where the Warriors had come, vests and nice pants with white collared shirts. The little girl was dressed slightly more how they'd see a girl dress, however it was still much cleaner and nicer. It was manly purple, and black, and her hair was pulled back with a bow. The Warriors opted not to say anything regarding the strange outfits to avoid unnecessary suspicion and watched the kids walk closer to the group behind Helen.
The older boy spoke again. "Mother will know where you should go, she's back at home in our village. We will take you there if you would like."
"We just need to be pointed in the right direction." Miria smiled.
"Then we will just lead you back to town." The oldest smiled.
The youngest boy glanced at each girl then looked at his brother. "We aren't suppose to talk to strangers... What if mother gets upset?"
"We are doing a good deed, I'm sure she will be pleased with us."
The little girl looked confused between her brothers as they spoke, waiting for them to begin their walk.
The more the group could see of this land the less like a war zone it seemed. The kids led them to a town, that only begged more questions. Buggies with closed roofs, coloured black, passed them on streets made of large stones of different circular sizes, more strangely dressed people walked on separate roads on the side of the road next to less shack looking houses and instead large wooden and mud houses that looked perfected. The only lights, much like where the group came from, seemed to be candles, but they were used in many places. The kids led them to a large outdoor market.
"What is with this place...?" Helen asked very quietly.
"This is like no place I've seen before..." Raki looked around himself, and at each vendor on the street.
The three children turned to them. "This is the market, someone here could help you." The oldest smiled.
"Thank you so much for your help." Miria smiled.
The kids smiled up at them. "We must be going now, good luck!" The oldest boy called as they ran off home.
The group was about to leave when a young woman stopped dead in front of them. "Silver-"
Raki suddenly looked at her, startling her to silence. "Oh, uh, hello there."
"Why do they-?"
"Born with it, it's nothing dangerous." Raki interrupted, before smiling. "We have to go, in a hurry, bye."
The group left in a hurry, and when out of sight turned into the forest area that marked out of town. "That was risky." Helen sighed. "But we found civilization. So that's a good sign."
Miria nodded, looking around, herself. "Let's keep looking around. This town is to close to the shore it might give us away.."
The group nodded, and began their walk.
