Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

Vivian came to the padded room and examined Ray for while before turning to the guards next to the door. "Bring her downstairs," she told them. "For treatment. I will visit her later today."
The last patient she had ordered to go to the basement hadn't lasted very long and it looked like Ray was in the perfect position and physically strong enough to be her next victim. She smiled to herself as she stepped away so the guards could do as they were told.

Meanwhile, Benjamin sat next to the door that would lead to the enclosed garden, resting his head against the wall. He heard his name through the intercom that he was supposed to report to the head office, but he paid no attention to it. He couldn't care less about what they wanted, they didn't care about what he wanted either.

I was unexpectedly busy the past few days, but I'll read up and post a.s.a.p.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

"Agreed," Fenna said as Clive suggested preparing for the journey ahead. She watched the sarcophagus as Clive mentioned the person in it would need help, but as others were already rushing to their aid Fenna remained where she was. There was no reason to crowd the new arrival needlessly. "Looks like she has all the help she needs," she commented. "Good job on the skeletons, by the way."

Maybe now was a good moment to check the travel supplies they had been given, and the pouches on her belt. For some reason, this place had given her clothes and items she hadn't owned before. There were definitely useful items for trekking through the unknown land, but she missed the modern-day tools back home. Thinking about home hurt, so she returned her focus to the here and now instead. She had seen a map and compass in Adam's hands and she definitely wanted to have a look at that as well, but he was tending to the new arrival so that would have to wait for a better opportunity.

She looked up when MacKensie asked her if everyone had gotten out safely. "Thankfully, yes," Fenna replied. "The last ones to leave were a mother and her child and the evacuation went smoothly." She smiled at the younger woman as she mentioned she hoped she'd stay as strong as her. "With the bravery you showed when you went to the gate to protect the people here, there is no doubt in my mind you possess a great strength yourself. I'm sure we'll get through this."

@PerfectThoughtI'll have a look this evening.

Fenna pushed Zell's arm off her shoulder. "Fenna," she answered the question. "And I don't remember dying," she added.
Was it true? Was she really dead, or was there a magic involved that had pulled her from earth and dropped her into this realm? At this moment she asumed the latter as there was definitely magic here, but there wasn't any evidence for either option. It stung knowing how far away she was from her husband and children, but tried not to let it get to her. Surely if they had gotten here there had to be a way back too, right? Hadn't the commander mentioned mages and scientists?

"Maybe we can find the answer we are looking for in Valhiem," she said as she crossed her arms and she looked from one to the other. "We will drop that thing off, and ask the mages and scientists have any idea how we got here, as none of us seems to know how that happened. If there is an answer to our question, it has to be there."

A townsguard approached her holding a metre-long spear with something claw-like at the end and waited until she was done speaking. "Excuse me, ma'am," he said politely. "I was doing a round in the village to see if any enemies were left behind and I found this in the, ehhh, stone box you emerged from."
Fenna took it from him, she must have missed it before, with the shadows at the bottom and everything that was happening. Her fingers folded around the wooden shaft and she nodded a thanks to the man.

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

"I hope we'll be able to help him," Michael agreed. If his father was okay, that'd be one worry less. Necrozoma's problem wouldn't be easily solved, but he was certain they'd be able to help. They both had a great team of Pokémon companions after all.
"Who is Vatier and what do we need to do for him?" Lytse asked. He had been with these legendary's and he wasn't aware of what Michael and Niccia had discussed at the gate.

"I do," Andy replied when Puth said he did fantastic work. "Thank you. And if it'll ease your worries, I can speak to Pokémon now, but I can't use any of what they tell me for research as I will need to prove my wild theories," he explained. "If I were to make a report on Starfall and all the human-looking legendary Pokémon drinking berry juice, I'd get thrown out of the lab pretty quickly for being unscientific and making up very unbelievable things."

"Very noble of you," Harcu said. "I never felt like that over my siblings. I wouldn't let harm come to them if I could stop it, all life is sacred after all, but I feel no urge to protect them. They can take care of themselves." He nodded a bit to himself. "The sibling vibe does seems to be strong among Mew and Mewtwo. I wonder how it will play out for them, the one who seems to be most concerned about the new Mew is that Furret over there. She'd make a fine Guardian is she didn't belong to a human trainer already."

"Shall we have a look?" Jirachi floated a bit in the direction of Kim and the snoozing young one. "I think this is the first Starfall we had someone hatch!"

Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

Morrison halted at the entrance and glanced left and right before going outside. He stayed close to the wall and waited for the others to join him as he kept his eyes on the area around them. Of course Ethan was a full agent, but he was also young and Morrison would make sure he'd make it out alive.

Ethan joined him outside, he too kept his guard up as they waited for the other two to join them. The sound of an owl came from a nearby tree and something flew past them, a bat probably. It was too small to be dangerous. There was another sound and he aimed his gun at a bush, but through the infrared he saw what looked like an imp. Harmless, really. He had seen the creatures on his first assignment with Gaia and he had caged several of them. Mike had smiled when he had told him about it, saying that if the bars hadn't been made of silver or iron, they weren't likely to keep imps in. It had been a wooden cage. At first he had felt annoyed to have been sent on a pointless task, but he had realised it was probably a test to see if he could catch them, not to keep them prisoner. Probably a good thing, he wouldn't want the little created to explode with the rest of the building.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Fenna had joined the fallen commander, but it looked like the fighting was over. She stayed silent when he called over the druid and listened to his words, even though they weren't directed at her. The skeleton's heart? Was that what had emitted the purple beams?

She frowned as the commander explained about the war. She had to agree with him, stone coffins indeed didn't simply fall from the sky in normal situations and how they had gotten here was a mystery to her as well.

An army of the undead was unlikely to be the good guys, especially since they attacked a village like this. They would have killed that girl if they hadn't intervened. Fenna cast her eyes to the ground as she thought about it. War was something she only read about or saw on the news, never had she experienced fear or death as closely as now. And having to see your fallen comrades be resurrected and fight against you, that had to be awful. Fenna wasn't sure how she felt about being destined to do something in this strange world, it all sounded very important and there wasn't much reason to believe she could make a difference, but these villagers seemed even less capable of doing so.

She nodded to Adam when he said he'd do it. "I'm in," she said. "I understand there is haste, but I agree that if we're going to travel for two days on foot we'll need to have some supplies with us, food and water at the very least. And a small rest for the injured." She glanced at the satchel the guard carried, 1000 silver? They'd have to split that, the satchel seemed rather heavy and would definitely hinder if they were going off-road.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

“I know, honey,” Fenna soothed the girl. “We will go to her as soon as we can.” When she noticed the skeleton climing the tree she pulled her dagger and tensed the muscles in her leg to give a good kick, when suddenly a falcon swooped in and attacked the skeleton. She locked eyes with the falcon feeling a sense of familiarity as the moment seemed to last an eternity. As the falcon flew away, Fenna turned her attention back to the child. "It's okay, we'll go down once it's safe."

She pulled the child closer when the purple beams emitted from, whatever it was. Selica asked with a high-pitched voice what that was and Fenna couldn't explain it. Much to her delight, it seemed to frighten the skeletons.
"I don't know what it was, but it's getting rid of the monsters. Can you climb?" When the child nodded, Fenna put her foot on a lower branch. "I'll climb down first, you'll follow me."

Selica gasped and pointed, Fenna turned her head just in time to see another sarcophagus fall. "That's okay honey, there are no monsters in those." It looked like the one she and the others had arrived in, she was fairly confident she wasn't lying to the child.

Once they stood on the soil once more, it was evident the skeletons didn't pay any attention to them. "I'll take her to her mother," she told the two that were with her and she grabbed Selica's hand. "Quick, we can catch up with your mother."
The child ran as fast as she could and Fenna made sure to match her speed. When they reached the gate, only two people were still in the village: Segreant Harold and Selica's mother.

As soon as the girl laid eyes on her mother she let go and ran towards her.
"Thank you," the mother said as she picked up the girl. "I don't know how to repay you."
"Just leave," Fenna urged. "It's not over yet."
She turned around and headed back into the village to see where she could be of assistance.
