After such a long time, I was finally back on Earth for good.
I expected to be welcomed by a recon group from the AOTG, but to my surprise, there were none.
The street was quiet.
Eerily so.
Its silence was only broken by the falling debris of the collapsing buildings, the crackling of the fire consuming them, and...
And the haunting noises of screeching that came from all directions.
Miwen: "Mia, Liz."
It was a lucky break that we didn't run immediately into an enemy, and I didn't want to push my luck.
So, I brought out the big guns.
The three of us should be able to handle anything, from reconnaissance to combat, hand-to-hand or magic.
No matter what came our way, we should be able to push through with sheer power.
Mia: "Contact. Thirteen up ahead, fifteen on each side, nine behind us."
I had given the girls a few orders before I left the green fields of the Kingdom to return to the grey ruins of the city.
