Antha stepped out onto the concrete floor of the airport. She looked around at the mountains and the terrain. Antha pulled out her camera and took a couple of photos for the paper. The woman sighed as she waited for her travel arrangments. A man named Suji was to collect her and take her to where she would live for the weeks of her travel. The woman who had hiperventilated earlier was walking to greet a man who looked the same age as her, and a young child. "So far so good" Antha said to herself under her breath. The South Asian man approached her. "You're from here, but you don't live here, do you?" He asked circling her. "What, how do you know?" A slightly offended Antha stepped back. "Honey, the shoes say it all" He said walking off. Antha sat on her suitcase, waiting for her transport.

...

Meanwhile, a woman named Esha began to panic. "My baby girl, has gone off to Kyrat, Alone" She paced back and forth while Chrissy just sat there. "I - I - I have to do something" Esha said pulling out her phone. "Esha, maybe you should give her some freedom, that's the only reason she has wandered off" Chrissy suggested as Esha pulled out her phone. "No. I know I'm going to regret this, but I need to make a quick phonecall". Esha wandered into the kitchen while Chrissy tried to listen in.

"No, no, listen to me, I don't care if she's grown up, send her back"

"Don't you dare, you have the power and do you really want me coming to get her"

Chrissy tried to hear who she was talking to to and moved closer. she heard a man on the other line.

"I want you to find my daughter, send her home"

"For god's sake Esha, she's older enough to discover what Kyrat is really about"

"I swear I'm coming up if you don't do something"

The man just laughed in response "Fine, but you should start acting like the mother you really are"

Esha hung up and stormed into the living room. "Don't you dare tell Antha anything" She said as she stared Chrissy in the eye and stormed out of the apartment.

Antha sat on her suitcase kicking the dust when she heard the noise of a car. She looked up to find an old van being driven by a bearded man. The van stopped and the man stepped out. "Antha?". Antha stood up "I assume you're Suji". The man classped her hand in his and shook it while nodding "Yes, yes, I'm very pleased to meet you, now please come this way". Both Antha and Suji stepped into the van. The van drove off with a trail of dust following it. As they drove Antha looked out the window. "You know you couldn't have come at a better time" Siju tried to make conversation but Antha continued to look out the window.

"Do you know Ajay Ghale?". "Who?" Antha looked annoyed but her looked turned into curiosity at the mention of a name. "Oh, he's the son of Mohan Ghale, the founder of the Golden Path. When he was three he and his mother fled to the States, something about how Kyrat changes people". Antha seemed interested as she wrote down these words. "My mother's the same, born in Kyrat, but fled this place when I was younger" She sighed. "So why are you here?" Suji asked. "Mum used to tell me stories of this place, and I want to see this place through my own eyes" Antha replied "Anyway back to Ajay, why is he so great?". "Well reports have said that Ajay is in Kyrat at the moment and they say he will restore peace to this place with the help of the Golden Path". Antha looked out the window when she had a thought "I would like to meet theis Golden Path". Suji laughed "You will, but when the time comes".

It wasn't long before the car pulled up to a large shack. Antha stepped out of the Van and looked over the house. The walls were dirty, and the roof was leaves, the overall appearance was uninviting. Antha took a picture of the place and wrote in her notebook "Living conditions?" before grabbing her suitcase. A man and woman emerged from the shack and approached Antha. "You must be Antha" She said pleased as she shook her hand. "Pra, take her bag" The woman ordered as the man took her suitcase. "Please, follow me to your room" The woman said as she hurried to the shack "Oh, and Antha?" The woman turned to Antha "Welcome to Kyrat"
