[09:26] 1 April, in Shiva, with Gherico
"Okay, here is the information, I hope it can help you" Cicaro handed us a notebook. We thanked them since they had to go back to their mom.
"Sure let's check this notebook" I was enthusiastic, these types of information are worth a lot if they are true. We moved away from the main roads, and I started reading:
"Energy and Manipulation of Energy: everyone has the energy, but only a few people can manipulate it. They are called Descendants. Also, when they run out of energy, they use the environment around them to collect it back." (Interesting, we didn't know about this)
"To manipulate the energy and become a Descendant, a person must receive a chain from another person, which is most likely to happen since families and clans usually pass down the known chain. There is another way, but you need to satisfy a certain, unknown requirement for the activation of the chain"
"If this is true, we might have gotten in touch with something very important- Abello said. "Wait it's not all" I replied as I continued.
"There are only two types of energy: Refined and Raw, even two individuals that share the same chain may have different outputs since the energy is something personal.
Everyone has a unique way of manipulating their own energy"
"Okay we knew about this one" Orite said.
"About 0.01% of the total population is estimated to be descendants. They are mainly split into families, clans, mercenaries, and the phoenix cult"
Abello's eyes widened "Wow…I know that fact is true. My sister is married to a Colonel. In the last couple of years, I've received some information from her, and it matches what it's written there. Guys, I need to tell you something"
"Abello are you serious??" I interrupted him "Do you know how much you are risking? From stealing military secret data"
"I know, it's risky, but it's not what I wanted to talk about now. A few weeks ago, she sent me a letter. She told me not to come to Shiva, that things were heating up. I am sorry for my egoistical request; I want to check if she is okay. Can we rush to her house…now?"Abello almost begged us.
"Uh, sure. We've done everything planned for today, and we have some time left, Orite do you agree?" Orite nodded. We accompanied the two kids to our hotel, which would contact their mother while we were out.
"My sister, she lives at the fifth ring, so we need to get to the gate" Abello said while taking the lead.
After a very long line, we entered the fifth ring, and we followed Abello, who kept changing directions. So I asked him while looking back behind me,
"Are we being followed?" Abello, who had stopped again, looked at us with his dumb face and said, "Ehm…actually, I forgot where my sister's house is"
Orite replied, also confused, "Wait, so we weren't looking for a restaurant? We still didn't eat dinner" I sat there on the street.
"I hope you have a plan, Abello. This is the biggest ring of the city"
"Of course, I do! At the end of this street, there should be an entrance to the training campus. The plan is to ask about Colonel Daniel, my sister's boyfriend"
I asked, "Wait, so they will let us in like that?" Abello replied quickly "Very Improbable, but let's give it a try!"
His optimism wasn't really convincing. After asking some passersby where the training campus was (since Abello was wrong), we found the entrance.
"I already checked your plates; you cannot enter. This place is restricted, and the Colonel doesn't have time to waste on you outsiders" a guard informed us.
After being turned away, we took a few steps away from the entrance.
"Nice, your plan failed immediately" I started. "My plan is to enter there; we just need another way to do it"
"What if we walk on your seals, Abello? And I could distract them with my seals" Orite interrupted.
"Yes, that's my boy! As always, when it's down to using our Chains, you are the smarter"
We split up and took a look at the building. It was just a side-construction, connected to the main one, but it was guarded only at the entrance, probably because there were other guards inside, and we were about to bypass allat.
