Younger Irina POV

Byakko's Border, Forest - 6/23/2030 - 3:56 PM

It's already been 2 days after we fell from our route to the designated base, all of us except Delson receive major injuries but fortunately he regenerate with the help of my supplement which cause his body to forcefully rejuvenate all of his lost tissue because of the 'Godseeds' inside the supplement cause some minor rejection because Delson's body isn't similar enough to 'Godslayers' that's why he is currently having a fever.

Fortunately as we scout the area we found a fresh water spring nearby and hunting isn't problem either cause I am fully armed and some the 'Imperial Arm' in the jeep are still usable but our COMM seem to have malfunction for some reason and we could only hear are static, it's like something is jamming our signals but that aside Jessica still glares at me for some reason.

I know I technically cause Delson's fever but it's better than preparing a grave for him which if she found out I thinking of it she'll probably kill me. We've made a platform up in the trees for our own safety cause these forest are infested with 'Infected' roaming around so we made it so that they can't harm us for a while until Delson is fully recover and continue to search for a form of landmark to report back to the base.

As I wonder around the area and sat down on a large rock near the spring then relax for a while until a loud person appeared and the relaxing silence vanish as he apologies,

"Hey, Irina I am really sorry about Jessica's behavior for the past few days, she's just protective towards her brother and lash out quite often",

I slightly flinch on how loud he was as he said that but regardless of his lack of control regarding his voice. Recalling some of the Imperials that I've encounter Jessica wasn't that bad in comparison so I gave him a reply like always,

"I've been through worst but I always find the Imperial's lack of respect toward the 'Defileds' and the 'Godslayers' a bit out of place, I mean most of the 'Godslayers' are with them in the field and prevent most casualties to occur right? and 'Defileds' are unlikely to even fight back because of how you all treat them?",

Bombarded by questions he just scratching the back of his head and carefully think to himself and proceed to seriously answer me with eyes that's clear of any lies that I could comprehend, such eyes are rare for Imperials that I've encountered,

"Maybe it's best to tell you what we've been through to even become an Imperial or at least a person associated with the Purist as a whole",

He sat next to me and suddenly this rock became colder for the tense atmosphere that Robert set as he tells what Imperials commonly went through,

"First is to survive the harsh world that exist outside the four habitable countries like 'Byakko', after surviving attacks from the horrid 'Gods' that roam the land while running away from the 'Infecteds' that persistently chase anyone they encounter",

The term 'infected are the ones that's been terribly defiled by the 'Gods' turning them to savage beings that wander almost anywhere, these are normally seen whenever a 'Poisonous God' was present in the area that cause such infection, but people referred to as 'Defileds' are completely different but Imperials group them because both ears which disgust them,

"Next is to get verification to even live in the country, here in 'Byakko' the moment the percentage of 'Godseeds' inside you exceed to 5% you'll be deemed as 'Defileds' and be shunned here in 'Byakko' but in other countries they'll let you in exchange for being assigned to do the labor, but if you by chance passed the second test and enlist to be an 'Imperial' they will let you in and your family but both you and your family will be having to regularly hear the Purist Faction's Teachings",
