[Author's Note]
This chapter officially starts Sierra's middle earth adventure so I'll be including other types of dialogue, for the sake of not giving Sierra too much of a hard time I will use english as the same as the common tongue. Of course Sindarin will also be used.

"This speech is English."
"This speech is Japanese."
'This is MC's thoughts.'
This is MC's memories.
"This speech is in Sindarin."

"Figure Skater trapped after a cave in at the Kaishi Forest"

After Nationals, Miyawaki, a famous figure skater reportedly went to Kaishi Forest. Inside the forest reserve is a cave that caved in when the skater went inside.

Rescue operations are currently underway but as the cave has never been explored in any way, rescue efforts are expected to be slow.

Miyawaki is a decorated junior skater, having been junior japanese national champion, junior world champion and silver medalist in the junior grand prix finals last season. Miyawaki started her first year as senior this season, placing 15th in the recent Nationals.

Mako Furukawa can be seen crying her eyes out as she sat in front of her coach and Sierra's coach. They had just returned to Chukyo University. After the shock of watching her friend get trapped in a cave wore off, Mako immediately called the authorities, they asked the girl a few questions and proceeded to contact a rescue team.

Only when the rescue team arrived that Mako realized how late it was and there probably won't be any trains going back to Aichi anytime soon so she called her coach who proceeded to ask Sierra's coach to give Mako a ride back to Aichi.

After explaining what happened to Sierra, the coaches were flabbergasted, just sitting there.

Sierra's coach sighed,"I should call Era-chan's parents. They'll be worried sick." In his posture and facial expression, grief and worry can be seen.

Coach Taijin Hiraike is Sierra's coach and though relatively unknown to the scene he does his job to the best of his abilities and because he only has a few students, he genuinely cares for his skaters.

"I-I swear I tried to pull her back, but she seemed so entraced and the next thing I knew she was trapped," Mako hiccuped then proceeded to burst into tears, incorrigible mutters leaving her mouth.

"We don't blame you Mako-chan, it's alright, I'm sure they'll find Era-chan hmm? Stop crying," Mako's coach wiped her tears.

As Mako's hiccups died down and she was starting to calm down, the door burst open and Kazuki ran in, his face red from running a long distance. "Coach what happened? I heard the staff talking about it in the locker room. Where's Era-chan?"
