She looked at her hand after. It looked the exact way it was before the earth was turned into a shadow of its formal self. She sighed. At least now she was able to control a good portion of her soul by herself. Though for now she could only send medium-sized things into the space and slow down time to a small amount.

"If I slow down time strategically, I should be able to preserve the berries at least till I reach the city," she mumbled itching her hair. She looked around her. Rafka only 'projected' himself in the mortal realm when he felt like it. So she may not see him for the next few days if he didn't feel up to it.

Amaya took the red rope she had in her short pocket and tied her hair in a low bun. She hadn't had a change of clothes for a long time. The outfit she wore at the end of the Earth had been reduced to what she had now. Her black office pants had been reduced to shorts and her white silk long-sleeve button-up shirt had been reduced to a dirty sleeveless.

She could make up some sort of story if they began to bother her. She hadn't had a bath in 2 years according to her own time and she wasn't exactly sure which time the smell would follow. But she was pretty sure that the sweat that had accumulated would be enough to drive anyone away. Even monsters were turning a blind eye to her! She needed to find a stream and fast. Maybe she could clean her clothes and have a bath before she headed into the city.

"I should head towards the forest, I'm more likely to see a stream", Amaya reasoned. She stumbled through the forest. she was extremely careful where she stepped. She was barefoot. Her heels had long broken and she wasn't left with much of an alternative.

"Lady Collie!!", A man yelled rushing into the tent. The three siblings stared at the man.

 "What is it Buer?", Collie asked taking a break from mixing more medicine for Kenji. 

"Voer! Voer's avatar is glowing again on the ruin table!", The man exclaimed. Collie dropped everything, leaving the two brothers behind and rushing to the ruin. Her legs were barely touching the ground with how far she was going. She broke into a sweat. She wasn't the most athletic but she needed to see it for herself. The thought of Voer being on the same planet as she was meant that their hardships were about to come to an end and she could fulfil the promise she made before watching the ruin table.

She arrived at the ruin table. Voer's avatar shone brighter than it ever did before. The purple glow was in no way faint. She was definitely on Misma. "She's here", Collie screamed breaking out into tears. She smiled using her button-up dress sleeve to wipe her tears. 

"Lady Collie, this is the beginning of an era!", the man cheered.

"It is! keep watch on the desk, I must keep caring for my brother. But we must be on high alert. The time to fulfil our promise is at hand"

Collie ran back to the camp. The newfound energy shocked even herself but it must be Voer. She was the only one who could bring hope in the darkness. She rushed back into the tent, tears still welled in her eyes. 

"Brothers! It's true, they're here! Voer is here!" Collie cheered, earning Kenji's smile and a satisfied hum from Koa. Collie hadn't been this happy in a little while and seeing her this way allowed their hearts to swell with happiness.

Koa hummed at Collie's happiness. But that aside, he saw no reason for her cheers. Voer was nothing but a cursed spirit. All it meant was that there would be more disaster than he'd ever seen in his 140 years of life. Misma would be broken down into nothing but a fraction of its previous glory and he had to be the one to pick up the pieces. He would never be the one to break her or her facade of this spirit.

He adjusted his black glasses and then his black gloves. He would have to leave soon. Thanks to Collie's pestering, he had gotten a change of clothes. He was dressed in all black but still looked like one of the members of Palat's council. He had a black button-up dress shirt, a white embroidered waistcoat and black trousers. He had a white long leather jacket hanging off his shoulders. He hadn't intended to combat anything when he left the administrative district. So his clothes were hardly combat-compatible.

He clenched his jaw at the thought of the upcoming work he would have to get done. 

"I will take some of your men and head to the 5th and 6th districts. The more materials we can acquire in this tough time the better", Koa stood up. His two siblings stared at him quietly as he left.

Within a couple of minutes, Koa gathers 30 members of the Misma army to go with him. He had that influence on most people. Whether it was his seriousness, strategic mind or decisiveness, Koa wasn't sure. He had to fix the mess they'd gotten themselves into before it worsened. 

"We will be heading to the 6th then the 5th sector. This will enable us to obtain the necessary materials and aid in this war. This journey will be by foot, we leave in thirty minutes", He addressed them.

Koa took off his glasses, he wasn't going to let his subordinates do the fighting for him this time. His previous suit could serve as the testimony. He wasn't going to let this suit go down the same route. He scoffed at the thought. Leaving a battle looking filthy should have been a sin. It was almost the same as losing, at least in Koa's eyes.

"Koa!", Collie yelled grabbing his attention.
