Jimle looks at her phone ''I wonder''She takes it when she hears footsteps outside her room.
Vliney''You really think we can do it''
Wil''Yes, if we can find the other two we can find the human, and finally be free''
Vliney ''Do you think Sai wants to take one that works?''
''Well yes Sai wants to help you, and some others can too''
Vliney''yeah, I will ask here tomorrow''
Wil''Good, and when we get out we can get what is our''
Vliney chuckel''Yes, we will live our life up there''
''With the humans?''
Vliney'' I hope we can''
''But they have''
Vliney''I know but I just hope they are not all shitty, you know Jimle''
''Jimle, the human you took in?''
Vliney''Yes, she has tried to help us even if she is a bit of a uhh''
Wil'' Kind to the human and a bit weaker than us?''
Vliney''Yes, But I still see her as a strong guard, she has kept people safe and is ready to fight''
Wil''Yeah it's good, hey would you start a war against humans? after losing them two?''
Vliney stays quiet and Wil looks at her.
Vliney''No, I want us to get free, just like they two wanted, I don't want to make more bloodshed I don't want it to be another war against them''
They two walk further away.
Jimle holds the phone and looks at the door''It will be okay, I will help them e..even if Vliney does not like it...''She sends a message to Ulne.
Ping.
Ulne takes his phone up''Jimle''
Jimle''How are you doing? I hope you and Lio are okay and alive''
Ulne smiles''I'm fine, I and Lio are well and alive. how are you?''
Jimle''Good to hear. I'm fine. I need to tell you something''
Ulne''Okay?''
''Vliney will make a group of people that can track lio magic, I heard that she will ask them tomorrow''
Ulne looks at the phone and looks at Lio''L..Lio''
Lio looks up''Yes?''.
Ulne walks over and shows him the messages Jimle sends.
Lio''You joking''
''No''Ulne looks at the phone''W..What should we do?''
Lio''I don't know, we can talk about it when everything is up''
''Okay''Ulne get back to the message.
Ulne''Do you know how strong they are?''
Jimle''Well Sai is one of the stronger in that group, she is Vliney's right hand and Sai is trying to get more into that field. but for now, it's only four in here''
Ulne''O..Okay... Is she a stronger fighter?''
Jimle''Yes''
Ulne''O..Okay, thanks for the information''

Ulne''Bye''.
Jimle puts the phone away and looks out ''So they two have seven days till they get there, I hope you two get there safe and sound''. When Flne comes into the room and sighs. Jimle looks at him''How did the talk go?''
Flne walks over to his bed and sits down on it''Shit, If I punch her again I will get to clean this place for a month''
Jimle''Well you just going not punch here again, and you got lucky that only for a month''
''Yes, she was somehow kind for that and not give me anything now''
''Hmm''She take a pen and papper and sit down''Do you think mom and dad are okay?''
Flne looks''Yes, are you going write a letter?''
Jimle''Yes, I want them to come to visit tomorrow''
Flne ''That would be fun and You could use your phone to write to them''
''I know but it's fun to write a letter and they could keep it''

Six in the morning.
The door gets slammed open and Jimle jumps up ''w..what''
Sai''Time to get up you two!''.
Flne looks at her''Five more minutes''

She drags the blanket away''Get your ass up now! Or you get to clean this whole base for a year!''She walks to the door'' You two have ten minutes and then you are going be out of here''She close the door.
Jimle gets up and puts on the jacket and Flne sighs''Fine''He gets up and puts his jacket on and yawww and looks at jimle''She could be a bit kinder huh''.
Jimle''Yes, but now she is not so, let's just hurry''Jimle walks out and Flne follows and closes the door. Sai sits on a bench''Well you two were fast huh''She looks at them.

Jimle''Then why do you want us?''
Sai looks at Jimle''So you two can protect us if a monster comes or we find them''
Jimle stays quiet and Sai sighs''Welp let's head out''

Wil''are you ready to go?, we don't have all day?''
Vliney''Yes, I'm ready to go, let's give the new ones a warm welcome to the guards''She smug smiles and walks off with her hand behind her head.
Wil sighs''You will be too hard on them''

Jimle looks at her with surprise.
Sai''Why are you looking like that?''
Jimle''It's just you have never said that stuff before''
Sai''Well even if I'm a bit of a cold person to you all, i still care about my comrades, and I care about you most''
Jimle''Why?''
