An ODST in Mekkan. Twokinds X Male ODST (CURRENTLY BEING EDITED)

Chapter 8 Mirage

Y/N's POV:

After trekking for quite awhile, We finally managed to find our way out of the forest and into a city. The city we came across had an even larger tower...but there was something strange about it... the town seemed to appear out of nowhere, it didn't even appear properly on the map we had. But we didn't complain...

Keith was still a little unhappy, but he was coming around. It seems Flora and him made up and were getting along better now. That's what I like to see, co-operation.

Trace: "How are you holding up, Flora?"

Unfortunately...

Flora: "I'm fine!" She said in a very angry manner.

Trace: 💧 Oookay, if you say so."

Flora was four days into her heat, and with no relief, she was a little on edge.

Boat keeper: "Well, of course, Mr. Templar. I can have a ship ready for you as soon as possible. But it's going to be at least a day to gather the supplies and men. I hope that's alright?"

Trace: "Oh, uh, sure, sounds fine."

Boat keeper: "Good."

- [Later...] -

Flora: "Eh, Trace, I don't know about this..."

Keith: "Yes, I agree with Flora. We shouldn't stay here very long. There's something wrong with this place, anyway. I feel it."

Y/N: "I too agree as well. Some parts of this town are not registering on my VISR."

Keith, Flora, Trace: "What does your VISR do again?" They asked

Y/N: "Oh, it allows me to see in dark places, outline features of interest, or mark enemies when I need to, among other things. In this case, it's like some places in the town...don't exist."

Trace: "What else are we going to do, though? It's going to take time to get the boats ready, and we have nowhere to go. Don't worry, as long as you guys stay with me, everything will be fine. Trust me."

- [One change of clothes later...] -

Keith: "This is... humiliating." Keith said as he was covered in a dark cloak

Flora: "I dunno... I like having Trace's shirt on... mmm... Trace's scent is on it."

Keith: "Oh, no, not again...."

I was given a mildly used cloak with the templar insignia on the back to hide my armor. At least it covered the helmet to a degree.

Y/N: "It's not much but it works for me I guess."

- [After finding a Tavern to wait in] -

I was in the bathroom freshening myself when I noticed for the first time that even though my helmet wasn't on my head, I could still see my hud with everything in it. Even my overview look with my rank was updated to me with a cloak on, but without my helmet.

Y/N: "Whoever brought me here must have thought of everything, or this is just pure luck...Neat though."

Walking back to my group's table, I was brought out of my thoughts when a woman with golden hair and a green coat with the Templar insignia on it came to us.

Y/N: 'I hope this ain't another bounty hunter.' I said while preparing my shotgun.

Woman: "Grand Templar? I hope I'm not interrupting. I just wanted to tell you that I'm a big fan of yours! Um, I also hope you don't mind, but I went and brought your wife here. She's been worried sick about you."
