The Random Strangers

Meanwhile, Elijah brought the wild bear he hunted down to the lookout.

"What the heck?" said Catie unexpectedly.

"I brought a feast, you guys! We can all eat now endlessly!" said Elijah joyfully.

"Are you for real? We don't have time for this! And how do you expect us to finish that up you idiot!?" yelled Catie.

"Guys come on! They are not even here yet! And we need to be nourished to defend them right? So come on everybody! Let's feast already! I am so hungry please guys come on!!" pleaded Elijah.

"We do have time. The people are just getting prepared down there. They won't be arriving up till noon. So we have some time. And I am hungry too! So let's dig in!" joyed Khalia.

"Ah yes, I am hungry too!" Eunara joined. "Me too!"

"Me three!"

"Uh, guys? Come on how do you expect us to eat the whole damn thing? It's bigger than a tree!" complained Catie.

"Stop whining and eat it already Catie. You're not gonna die or something," yelled Perria.

"B-but guys- Ugh well fine then!" sighed Catie after her long complaining.

"Ooh, it's not bad! Nice catch Elijah!" encouraged Andel while he had a big chunk of meat in his mouth.

"Haha, my pleasure!" laughed Elijah.

Orwan took a little by the little bite of the meat and asked, "So Eunara, what if the enemy doesn't reveal itself? What if they plan to wait until we make a move?"

"Well to be precise, Reuter's army has no idea that we are going to defend this village. They don't even know we exist. And if they start attacking the village just plainly as they are just normal humans. And the number of Reuter's army coming here, we have no clue. Might be 5? Or 6? We don't know. But once they just start attacking the village. The people will be in danger. It'll create a battle right in front of all the people. And it will destroy everything. To have mistrust from among the people is the last thing Reuter's army wants. So it is not likely- unlikely for the enemy to reveal themselves so soon. Or there can be a fact that they might be hiding with us too in borders somewhere here as we speak. But that doesn't matter. Our main goal is to protect the people of Narkissa and guard the King and Queen. And Orwan, I presume you still can't feel their presence other than pulse can you?"

Orwan looked down and sighed with disappointment and said, 'No. Not yet. I am still working on it."

"Don't worry. You'll be fine. I am sure you'll learn it someday. Eunara 3.5 smiling." said. Eunara pats Orwan on his shoulder.

"Yeah," replied Orwan.

"Hey, wasn't our objective to come here basically was to retrieve information about Reuter? Why the heck are we getting into all this mess?" interrupted Elijah.

"Eunara 6.0 dismayed." sighed Eunara, "You see Elijah, wherever we go, wherever we are, and whatever our aim is, we are not to pull innocent people into this. No matter what. They must be our priority hand. Get that in your mind every time Elijah!"

"Alright alright I get it," responded Elijah.

"Moving on, Orwan, Have you received any signs of any Engine Form?" questioned Eunara.

"No. Not at the moment. They might show up later or so. I will be sure to tell you all if I receive anything." answered Orwan.

Eunara wakes up from the rock he is sitting on and says, "Alright that settles it. Now we're going to-"

Eunara couldn't help but notice Khalia and Elijah eating food as if it were their first time seeing meat.

"Are you guys serious right now? We are going to be in a war in a couple of minutes! Eunara 2.5 utterly disappointed." Eunara yelled.

"But this is so good!" replied Khalia.

"Exactly! We need to have some strength after all" Elijah commented while having a big piece of meat in his mouth.

"Uh ah well. I can't help you guys with that. Now finish it fast already!" sighed Eunara.
