-North West Path towards the Dark Forest-

*Zia's POV*

I don't know what these people are up to but I really want to go home now. Scy must be worried for us. Is it just me or am I really that unlucky?

"So who is your leader? I can tell that you guys are capable and wearing good equipment, well not this girl I can tell" Celeste pointed out that I look weak...

"Actually, she is our leader Miss Celeste." You don't have to do that Chelly...

"Seriously? You don't look strong. Anyway, they say, don't judge the book by its... something. Well, whatever. Our plan for tonight is we get ready for the invasion. I heard that a castle popped out on top of the mountain after the earthquake but that's really impossible to happen. Well if Zeth orders us to go there then maybe the report is actually true. They said that we should be camping near the Icy Mountains just in case the invasion starts. Who cares about the invasion, if I can smash it then I can kill the sh*t out of that Boss." No need to say bad words... and if it's as easy as that then that would be great.

"Miss Celeste, please behave. We don't want them to think that we are bad people you know." A pretty cute girl finally joined the conversation. She somehow resembles someone but I can't tell who...

"Jeez, Marie. Why are you so serious all the time?" So her name is Mari.

"Mari's right and there's no need for hiring a bunch of mercenaries you know. We can easily handle it." Someone with so beautiful face and long black hair...

"They might come in handy later you know. An extra hand isn't that bad. Just relax , Azzie." Azzie and Mari seem to be the same age as me and they are also very close to each other, maybe they're best friends or something.

"Haha, young girls these days are so serious. Celeste here just wants to enjoy her time. Right, Celeste?" The guy officer also butts in.

"Yeah, yeah. Dean... So you mentioned earlier that you are travelers, have you traveled somewhere so dangerous?" Celeste asked me... I can't tell her that I just visited some villages and city nearby so...

"We traveled really far. We had our adventures beyond the north forest." I hope I didn't say anything suspicious here.

"Oh! They said that the monsters there are really strong but I haven't tried going there due to problems with guild affairs. We officers really have some annoying hard work to do. That damn old man ordering us around... I hope he rests in peace soon." I don't think if that is something you would say in front of others...

"Yeah, there are a lot of dangerous monsters like Armored Centaurs and even Harpies. We didn't fight them of course because that would be reckless." It's better to have a good story than trying not to say anything.

"Oh! Normal centaurs are easy targets but armored ones are really tough. I'll have my own adventure sometimes. Anyway, I'm quite busy now. Stop talking to me..." She said... You're the one who's talking too much!

This girl is annoying! Anyway, we started walking as the other soldiers do. I feel like I'll be meeting a large army I could never imagine. I hope we can find our way out later. If we join them there then we might get stuck till the end of the invasion and get killed...

-Scy's Guild-

*Scy's POV*

Hmmmm? It's getting really late. It's almost midnight but Zia's team isn't here yet. They said that they would just buy something nearby but why are they so late... I hope they don't get in trouble again.

"Scy, there's a bad news!" It's Elou. I ordered him to be our watchman but I guess he saw something bad...

"What did you see Elou? I hope it isn't as bad as I imagine."

"No, it's not about the invasion. It's about Zia's group. I saw them marching with Order of Light's officers!" He reported worriedly.

"What?! That's insane! Why would they join the Order of Light's army? There must be some kind of good reason or all of them would get a screw pinch in their foreheads."

"Well, they don't look like they enjoy being with the Order of Lights either. They aren't also prisoners so I think they are safe. The question is why are they with them? Are they really part of the Order of Light guild?" I don't think so.

"There's no way they were spies or part of the Order of Light. Akko told me that she found Zia in the Beginners' Area so that means she just played the game and it's really obvious. Is there a way we can communicate with them?" We need to have at least a way to contact them.

"I don't think whisper could work in our location and we're not in their party either. Well, I am taming an eagle now. His name is Chicken Withwings. I think I can send him to Zia and put a letter to its foot so she can read it while traveling." The name sounds awful but what choice do we have.

"Isn't that safe though? What if someone could catch or capture your pet and read the letter instead? Wouldn't it be bad for us?" I tried to explain the bad consequences.

"No, no. We can just write "We're looking for you, why are you there? Reply Asap.". Then even if they get the letter then they don't know exactly who we are." That's a lousy idea...

"Ok then, let's try it," I suggested.

I wrote the letter and put it in a container beside the foot of the eagle. I hope this works.

*FLAP FLAP FLAP* The eagle flew towards the location and I think Elou directed the eagle to go to Zia.

"So how did it go?" I asked Elou...

-North West Path towards the Dark Forest-

*Zia's POV*

We've been walking for a very long time now. I hope we can just fly like Scy and Miss Akko did, it's a lot more fun too... Hmmm? I heard a heavy flap of a bird nearby. It seems normal but this time of the night, birds are not really common.

I found it! The bird came from the location of the forest and heading towards our way. I really hate to say this but I'm afraid of birds. When I was a kid, a bird hit the hospital's window because it's made of glass and the bird thought it was an open window and baaaaam! It killed itself by bumping into it. That's when I started having nightmares about birds, like dead birds eating my pizza and stuff like that. That really scared me to death! Back to reality... for some weird unknown reason, the bird is getting near us and it's coming towards my way! Oh crap! I must be hallucinating or something... I should ignore it!

*Flap Flap Flap* No no no... the bird is definitely real! I can hear the sound of its wings!

*Eh?! KYAAAAAAH!* I screamed my lungs out! I was so scared that I pulled out my knife and slashed the crap out of the bird!

Woahhh... finally. I killed the bird. Hmmmm? What's this? A letter? I found it beside one of the bird's feet...

"Are you guys alright there?" Celeste asked because she heard me scream.

"Yeah, we are alright. I'm sorry for the noise."

I checked the letter and saw the message... it says...

"We're looking for you, why are you there? Reply Asap." I think I know who sent this letter. It's must be Scy! I wrote a reply as fast as I can... but I realized... I killed the damn bird...

-Scy's Guild-

*Scy's POV*

"Did she just kill my pet? I trained it for like almost a week now and she just killed it..." Elou looks frustrated with what happened...

"It's alright. If you tame it properly then it would just revive itself later. Just relax. I think she got the letter and because of her good idiocy... I think she will just reply, we are going to the camp... because, from the looks of it, it's the only destination they can go. Then that means they might be mistaken as mercenaries." I really feel sorry for Chicken Withwings though...

"Who on earth would just kill a bird when it gets near people?!" Let it go, man...

"Most of them actually. Your bird isn't really good for sending messages because it's really big... you should have tamed a smaller one for sending messages. Anyway, we need to start our plan soon. We can't idle around here while Shiv checks the castle. He might get something inside and we need to get there first." It's really bad if they can discover something and we don't know what we're up against.

"Ok then. I can't see them anymore. They already reached the Icy Fields where the camp is."There are a lot of soldiers who will participate in the defense. There are like more or less half a million and all of them are well trained... around level 250 and more. I don't think they even need us there.

"Ok, prepare to move out."
