-* Arriving in the capital of DAWNCHESTER, a city full of inhabitants and brimming with business opportunities and technological progress, with a steampunk and Victorian era atmosphere filled with machines, airships, etc... Tamayo Galopant and her squad head towards the hospital...

- ‘So far, during the three-hour drive, we haven't encountered any draugr obstacles, and fortunately, at the border of the capital, the army didn't ask us too many questions, given that we had a seriously wounded soldier who needed urgent medical attention and we had to get to the hospital at all costs if we didn't want to lose IZUMO,’ the colonel thought to himself.

- ‘Nozel, check on IZUMO and LIDE again. How are they doing?’ asked the colonel

. ‘Chief, LIDE is no longer with us...’ replied Nozel, saddened to see his friend and comrade lose his life after examining his body in the back of the carriage and covering it with bandages, before being interrupted by his superior.

‘I ordered you to check!!!...’ insisted the colonel, shouting.

‘Chief, he's already passed away despite our efforts,’ NOZEL replied in an angry tone. He added, ‘On top of that, it's been over three hours since his body stopped giving off heat and he even stopped breathing. We have to accept it, colonel.’

*NOZEL then ripped the arcane necklace from his neck to give it to his family.

- ‘And the little one?’ asked the colonel, for he had seen in Nozel's anger the bitterness of having lost a brother, but he did not want to give in and remembered that he could still save Izumo and keep alive the little one for whom Izumo, the man who had taken a draugr laser for him, had taken an interest.

- ‘He is still unconscious.’

At that moment, Colonel Abigail's group joined them. He was also a man in his forties with dark skin and a muscular build, ash-green hair and grey eyes.

‘Tamayo! Zaruba informed me of the situation and what happened to you. I came as soon as I could,’ Colonel Abigail said to his long-time friend.

‘Thank you, my friend. Can you do me one last favour?’ Tamayo asked him.

-: ‘What is it?’ asked Abigail

-Tamayo: Take this kid with you.

-: ‘What? Him? Zaruba told me about him. He seems to be an Inun. What if he's a spy from the other kingdom?’ asked Abigail seriously.

-: " I don't think so. If that were the case, we would have had the elite soldiers of the other kingdom with us after the draugr attack, wouldn't we, Zaruba?‘

’You're right, and I even think that if they knew about his existence, they would never have let us leave with him, since we were all in need of arcane magic reserves." Zaruba replied

-: ‘Looking at him, I feel that he will cause a lot of trouble. We should kill him while we still have the opportunity. We have lost a promising member of our army. It is time to end this and eradicate the threat before it grows.’ Colonel Abigail suggested

ARIMA: ‘No one will kill this child, superior or not, I don't care. Before losing consciousness, IZUMO was interested in this boy, otherwise I myself was ready to end his life,’ exclaimed ARIMA, even though no one had authorised him to give his opinion or even speak, but for his friend and for the will of , Arima was ready to do anything, even confront and oppose his superiors.

-: You'd better calm down, you're on a roll, soldier. Anyway, I feel that we are witnessing a change in the history of humanity and arcane magic. Tamayo replied

-: ‘TAMAYO, what is your decision?’ asked Abigail

-: "My decision is to take him with you and keep a low profile for a while because I don't want the authorities to learn of his existence, at least not what he is capable of. Please, I take full responsibility for this. I know I've never asked you to do anything so dangerous since we've known each other, but you're the only one I can trust to protect this truth," Tamayo pleaded, putting her pride aside even in front of her subordinates.

‘All right, my friend, for our superior, I'll take care of it. Since I agreed to join you on this story, I agreed to be involved.’ He agreed not because he believed the kid was not a danger, but rather because he trusted the colonel, the man with whom he had fought throughout his life.

-: ‘Thank you very much, my friend. I'll repay you one day.’ Tamayo thanked him with all his gratitude, even though it wasn't over yet.

Right after the colonel spoke, IZUMO began to suffocate and writhe in pain.

-: ‘What's wrong with him?’ Arima asked with concern.

- ‘NOZEL, take his temperature,’ Tamayo requested.

- ‘Chief, he's unstable. It's over 45°C,’ Nozel said after placing the thermometer on Izumo's forehead.

- ‘Tamayo, I mustn't take up much more of your time. I'll leave you to it. I'll take the little one and take good care of Izumo,’ his friend warned him before leaving.

- ‘All right, ZARUBA, I'd like you to follow Colonel ABIGAIL,’ Colonel Tamayo ordered him

- ‘At your command, Colonel.’ Then he left Colonel Tamayo's squad and went to join Colonel Abigail.

Twenty minutes passed and they saw the hospital. They were very close to arriving. The hospital was so huge that it covered several hectares, more than 50 hectares, it seemed, and had several levels, 15 in total, plus several basement levels.

-: We're finally two minutes away from the hospital. The colonel began to feel calmer.

*Once they arrived at the hospital.

- ‘Come on, come on! Gently lift him out of the trolley!’ ordered Tamayo. ‘NOZEL, help me contact Doctor Nicha. She's the only one who can help us with IZUMO's complex case.’ He sent Nozel to the person he trusted to save his apprentice's life.

- ‘Okay, boss,’ he said, going to find the hospital staff following the colonel's request. "Nurse, we have a seriously injured soldier and another who is already dead. Help us move them. Where the hell are the nurses?‘ Nozel walked several metres before finding the hospital security guards and explaining his urgent problem.

-HOSPITAL SECURITY CHIEF: ’Okay, sir, I'll call the nurses. Hey, Jeff, Abel, DAN, help me move these soldiers. I'll go and get the nurses to take them to the emergency room.

-: " Please, where can I reach Dr Nisha? We need her here for this case, mate." Nozel asked him in friendly terms so that he would understand exactly how much they needed Dr Nisha's presence on the ground.

-: ‘Impossible. I heard she's had a lot of operations today. She can't be reached immediately except by appointment, and I'm sure she's already left.’ Unfortunately for him, the head guard informed him of Dr Nisha's schedule and unavailability.

-: ‘Who cares! Tell him it's from Colonel Tamayo. Please, brother, we've lost enough comrades and I don't want to lose another promising one today.’ .‘

-: ’Uh, okay, I'll go.‘ The head guard agreed anyway.

-: ’It's better if I go with you,‘ Nozel suggested.

-: ’No problem, sir,‘ the head guard accepted wholeheartedly.

-: ’Thank you very much, ARIMA. I'll leave IZUMO with you.

-: ‘Count on me,’ promised Arima.

* At the same time, in the hospital cafeteria. Filling his cup at the coffee machine.

-: "Phew, whether you're an intern or a senior doctor, working with Dr Nisha is never easy in this hospital. Fortunately, unlike the other doctors, she she gives you the freedom to innovate and listens to your ideas. I can say that I feel like I'm reaching my potential in medicine, but anyway, even though it's late, I want to enjoy this good coffee, and I have to admit that their coffee machine is the only positive thing about this hospital. Nanaba often came to have her coffee during the hours that Dr Nisha gave her off to relax, and you could say that this coffee machine was made for her because she was the only one who used it. But suddenly she saw some commotion at the reception desk.

- ‘Why is everyone making noise at reception? I'd better go and see. From what I can see, it's a soldier. I'd better go and ask him what he wants, given how panicked he looks.’

NANABA approached the reception desk.

- ‘Er, good evening, sir. Is there a problem? How can I help you?’

- ‘Wait, he's holding a necklace with a red arcane stone? Could he be LIDE, the fiancé of the woman who gave birth? The necklace seems to match the description perfectly.’

-: ‘Sergeant NOZEL, we have one seriously injured person and one dead soldier. We need a doctor and nurses.’ Nozel introduces himself to Nanaba.

- ‘Er, NOZEL? Okay, Sergeant, I'll call some nurses to take the patients to A&E and I'll try to find you a doctor who's available.’ She was surprised because she thought she was dealing with LIDE.

-: ‘Thank you very much, but we need Dr NISHA, ma'am,’ said Nozel.

-: ‘Impossible, she's finished her operations for today and was planning to go home,’ was the unfortunate reply from Nanaba.

-: "Please, it's Colonel TAMAYO asking, ma'am. It's really urgent, ma'am. ‘ insisted Nozel.

-: ’Uh, you said Colonel Tamayo? Uh, okay, I'll inform her of the situation. Come with me." Nanaba already understood from the stories of Dr. Nisha and Amanda that if Colonel Tamayo was there on an urgent matter, then she had to hurry and inform Dr. Nisha of the situation.

* Meanwhile, Dr Nisha was in her office tidying up her things, bringing her day to a close.

-: "It's been an exhausting day and I haven't eaten anything since this morning. Luckily Nanaba is going to treat me to something to eat. Poor thing, I was a bit too hard on her. She's very competent, her only faults are that she's too nosy and has trouble holding her tongue. I'll surprise her by paying for her meal myself. She helped me a lot during her internship here. Dorothy, I don't know where she found such pure talent. ‘ said Dr Nisha as she headed for the door of her office.

*As she was about to open the door, she saw someone suddenly enter.

-: ’Sorry for barging in like this, Doctor, we need you urgently!" It was Nanaba who burst into her office accompanied by Nozel

‘Nanaba? What are you doing here? Didn't anyone tell you that I'm not working right now? What's a soldier doing here, besides the coalition army?’ Nisha was already half expecting a surprise when she saw a soldier burst into her office.

‘Sergeant NOZEL, Doctor, we have a wounded man with us and only you can help us, Doctor.’ Nozel introduced himself and explained the situation to Nisha.

"Impossible, I've just finished my shift here. ‘ replied Dr Nisha

-NOZEL categorically. ’Colonel TAMAYO sent me. He told me that only you could help us save our comrade's life. Please, if it's overtime, we'll even pay you double, Doctor. Please help us." Nozel explained that he had been sent by Tamayo and that he would not have accepted a refusal at first if he had said so earlier.

-: ‘Hmm, all right, he'd better return this to me. Where is the patient?’ agreed Doctor Nisha as she made her way towards the patient.

-NOZEL: Thank you very much, ma'am.

‘Go on, Nanaba, go and prepare the emergency room,’ Nisha ordered him, as she already knew the scale of the medical problem that awaited her, especially with Tamayo.

*Arriving at reception, Doctor Nisha saw Colonel Tamayo standing next to Izumo, who was lying on a stretcher with the nurses.
