Ajay's best friend: a girl name Aora was in a worst situation that could be(for her). Sabal and Amita were pushing her to sacrifice for Kyrat. They sent her on a mission to win Pagan's trust and expose his plans to Golden path, but she kept resisting...until they said everything that was going to happen if she doesn't do that. They showed her tapes of Pagan killing some of Golden path's men and women that they kept for moments like that.

Aora's POV

After the tape ended Sabal said "Become his right hand and find out what you can. Don't worry they can't get to you if you keep informing us about their plans and location. Once you're done, we will come pick you up. I can't guarantee you complete safety, but I can assure you, the Golden path will be two steps ahead."
.

"So... Aren't you gonna drop me off?" I said, giving them a sign that I'm ready

Sabal and Amita looked at each other, nodding their heads up-down once(sign for "we are ready")

They couldn't come close to Pagan's palace, so they dropped me 3km away. I thought I was going to die from climbing on those mountains and getting to that stupid palace that was on top of the freaking mountain. Well... I barely made it 1km when some woman came across and saw me sweating with nothing in my hands. She offered me water and that made me wonder
'how could they leave me here without water?Do they have a death wish for me!?'
I drank half of the bottle that woman gave me and thanked her. The closer I got to the palace, the higher the mountain was.

About a kilometer(0.620 mile) from the palace, I passed out, for i don't know how long, and woke up in some stranger's house. I looked around and started panicing:
'What? Where am I!? I need to get to the freaking palace!! Shit!'

A man walked inside the room and said nothing. He was black and had grayish hair, but wasn't old.

I saw him polishing guns and sharpening knives, but it wasn't scary because I knew he was with Golden path

I saw him polishing guns and sharpening knives, but it wasn't scary because I knew he was with Golden path. There was a Golden path logo inside the tent. I was curious who he was though, so I asked him:
"Who are you?"

He stayed quiet
.
.
.
"Fine, if you're so mysterious, I'm gonna have to leave mysteriously." As soon as I got up he spoke:
"Sit."
"I'm fine, thanks(I smiled sarcasticly)"

"Huh, I don't know how you could even survive with that brain of yours." He responded with a chuckle(sarcastic chuckle)

"Oh, really? This again... Great. I don't have time for this and if I am so stupid, how come you don't know your own name!"

"Longinus."

"Huh, I'm Aora."

"I didn't ask for your name" He turned around to face me

"Well, I didn't ask you to hospitalize me, so bye Longanus!" I said as I got out of the room

"It's Longinus!! He yelled and I heard it, but ignored it because I pronounced his name wrong on purpose. I knew he would get pissed off a bit.

As I got outside, I found myself in the middle of a snowy mountain, so snowy that it could freeze my face any moment. As soon as I felt coldness get to me, I returned back to his house and waited for something. I didn't know what I was going to do, but than I recalled. I had a phone in my backpocket. 'Oh, finally I can get help..!' I reached for my backpocket and felt... Nothing... I couldn't believe it. Both pockets were empty, and I had no front ones.
I yelled from inside while walking fast in his storage, as it seemed. It was filled with guns and knives and all sorts of granades, bazookas. 'What!? Did that lunatic take it?!' I thought and I peeked in the room I was before, trying to get to my phone unnoticed. As soon as I got a peek to the room, I felt a tap on my back and turned around quickly. 'Fuck!' I thought as I saw his face. I decided to play tough so I asked him:
"Where is my phone?! You better give it back!"

"Huh, you also hallucinate, don't you? There was no phone when I found you! There was only an vulture circiling around you that you attracted with your dead looking body."

"Huh? What the hell!? Ugh, can you AT LEAST give me something to wear while exposed to this snow!?"

"No.., but I have something better. You're lucky I am fateful to God, if I weren't, you would be dead by now."
As he said that, I watched him go out on the snow. After a few minutes, he returned and said: "It's ready"
'What is?!" I thought and was so irritated, but if I expressed that out loud, I would probably die climbing those mountains with no proper clothes.

I followed him outside and saw an offroad car." Woah, thank God!!" I yelled and he gave me a strange look.

"Let's go" he told me quietly
"Okay, can you drive me back where I was?"
I asked politely(bevause he had a car)
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! FIRST OF ALL YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO A PLACE WHERE YOU ALMOST DIED AND SECOND, THAT IS PAGAN MIN'S TERITORY. NO WAY, I'M NOT GOING THERE AGAIN!"

"So why were you there in a first place?"

"Because I had a mission that is now OVER. Don't you remember? You woke up in the middle of a battle going on.

"WHAT? I almost died twice and I didn't even began the mission!!"

"What mission?" He asked me

"Huh?" I wasn't listening to him

"Nevermind, I will drop you far away from there."

"No, you can't do that. I need to be there before tomorrow morning."

"Well, that's your problem."

"Wait! What if I pay you?"

"Heh, I'm not payable."

"No, not in money. I saw your gun collection. I saw you have everything except for 44 Magnum. I can get you that." As soon as I said that, he looked at me and chuckled

"I will be dropping you off where I said."

"I'm with Ajay! He can get you that."

"You really know him? Prove it."

"Sure. This isn't first time hearing your name, Ajay told me a story of how you sent him on a suicide mission. Gaspel, something. Oh I know. You told him a legend where someone said:'Go forth into all the world and proclaim the gospel...' Yep, it was that."

"Ugh, fine, but you have to get me that in deadline of 4 days"

"4 days!!? Are you crazy?" I yelled in surprise

"Actually, I am. I got one more condition. Only I can talk while we drive there."

I nodded and he started driving
.
.
We were there really fast because of his offroader and when we stopped, he pushed me out and while driving off in distance he yelled:
"4 DAYS!!"

"Ugh, so annoying" I was watching him getting smaller and smaller, dissappearing in the distance
I climbed the mountain for minutes, hours and it started getting hotter and hotter. I was burning up and started talking to myself out loud while looking at the sky and Sun: "Aagh! This is so frustrating!"
"What is?" I heard a voice from my left

I turned around and there was Pagan Min standing before me...
