[09:22] 11 April, in Parvati, with Orite
Hmm, he's been there for a while. I wonder if they have some snacks in there.
Then I saw Abello get out with a bunch of newspapers, smiling as always.
"Orite, let's split and read them, some are new and some are old. We are searching for anything related to Turin, let's start with the old ones"
"Mkay" We searched through all his glorious moments, and I have to say he's quite a hero for both the city of Shiva and Parvati
My eye fell on an article, it was about something important, on the first page, then I realized. Terrified, I tugged repeatedly at Abello, cause my voice was broken.
"aaah…aaab-b-b-b…aaaabel-l-l-l"
"Is your brain rotting? What did you find?" when his eyes landed on that piece of paper, he also started stuttering
"W-w-whaaaaa-at-t-t-t-t, a-aaa-a-a www-w-wa-a-r-r-r-r???"
We both looked at each other as if to wake us up from a dream, but it was reality.
Shiva has been attacked during the night, several victims, half of the city pulverized.
"Orite, we have to tell this to Gherico, he's with the kids, if they find out about this…we can't let them see their mum, it's too dangerous"
"What about your sister, she lived in the fifth ring, you need to stay here, until it's safe. What are you thinking about?"
"The words of that man we met in Shiva, I can't stop thinking about them right now" Then he proceeded
"I know, I won't do anything crazy, but now, we need to find Septum and Cicaro, before it's too late, let's go to the municipality"
So I followed Abello, but he was way too fast, (as always. I understand he did the military but his physics is way too boosted)
Abello lost me quickly in the crowd since he was too focused on the main objective, he completely left me behind, and after a few minutes, I had to stop.
Nah he is way too fast, I need a quick break. Ow, a new restaurant? It's opening right in front of me, that's like a sign from god, I have to try it, I'll restore my energy there.
A man left us, Orite went straight into the restaurant, now let's see what Abello was able to do.
[09:48] 11 April, in Parvati, with Abello
(Wow! I haven't run like this since...the old days, apparently my body still remembers how to do it)
"Excuse me! I am in a hurry!" I shouted while I was darting through the crowd, left and right, I even jumped throw an old lady, for a few moments I forgot why I was running, it's like my body just felt the urge to run at maximum speed.
When I realized that I was going on autopilot, I stopped in the middle of a market, the street was full of people, I looked around me.
(how the hell I was running in there)
I've been to Theora a few times, so I am used to crowded markets, since in the Capital there are countless market-zones, and the best merchants try to make a fortune out of some trades.
"Hmm, where the hell I am, I've also lost Orite"
As I was looking around, I saw Gherico and the kids coming from another street to my right, I wanted to wave to them, but then I looked at the turn they were about to make.
On the street I was currently waiting for them, among all the merchants, some were selling newspapers. Even posters about the war were hanging, so I had to improvise.
First I took down some of the posters close to me, then I went talking to the merchants that were screaming about the war in the street, but I didn't get lucky.
"Heey Abello, what are you doing? Still buying the newspapers?"
Gherico was right behind me, but I looked straight in front of me, to the merchant who wanted to shout about the war and convince my friends to buy his newspapers.
(Maybe it was the stress, or maybe because my body was trembling to be really moving again even if it was just for a day, I think I exaggerated)
I threw an axe kick at the table of this merchant, splitting it open, all the newspapers fell on the ground, the owner was scared, and he started screaming for help.
"AHHH! Abello what are you doing?? I swear I did enter the municipality!"
"Gherico! We have to run, I'll explain to you later, take the kids with you"
(Again, I was running, but this time beside my friends)
We found a little street, far from the crowd, and since Septum and Cicaro hadn't reached us yet, I talked to Gherico about it
"Quick! Don't overreact, they will be here soon, there has been a war in Shiva tonight, and half of the city is destroyed, we can't let them know this or they'll want to run to their mom"
"Abello, are you serious? What about your sister, are you okay?"
"I am…focused now"
Both Septum and Cicaro came right in that moment,
"You…ahh…ahh…are way too fast…" They kept panting as Gherico and I exchanged worried glances.
"Okaay, have you guys found something about him?"
"…ah…so we are just forgetting that you just split that table?" Cicaro said while pointing at me
"I know, but that merchant was a d*ckhead he really deserved it. Sooo did you find anything?"
Gherico knew what was up so he started talking.
"Not much. He's currently jobless, and in the past, he served in the military"
"Hm, that's somewhere to start at least. Unfortunately I don't have any contacts here in Parvati"
