"Hmph! What ignorant rodents. Of course I won't kill the girl. I need her blood." Tri sounded completely different now. Her voice faded into a raspy voice just like the other girl but not as deep. The shimmering noise faded into a steady hissing noise. "Tell the master I have found an 'ancient'. Tell him I will fake the girl's death. She would be a great asset."

'Tri is a fake! And I am still going to die!' May covered her mouth so she wouldn't make a noise.

"Yes, commander," a deep voice answered. "Here is the potion to maintain the sheep's appearance. Arctic said this is the last bottle and to hurry up with the mission. The sheep will die soon. The potion will no longer be affected once she's dead."

"Tell Arctic he needs not worry about me. I know what I am doing!" Tri snapped and left.

May has never felt so heavy before. She was trembling, at a loss at what to do. She thought Butú's was bad but this was worse. 'If I want to live, I must escape from here and find help. Or tell Nivaet of the fake... Or Yoen to prove my innocence. I feel like it is a trap. Why would I discover a fake so early upon arriving in this world? It's not even my world! Runaway it is!' After a few moments, she collected herself and carefully walked out of the bathroom. She vaguely remembered an exit door on the way to the bathroom and headed for it.

Surprisingly there were not many guards. May just have to wait for a few minutes for them to move on to the next hallway. After some time, she finally made it back to the Transport. She thought for sure she would be found missing from the room, but no one panicked. She moved over to the closest stand and quickly peeked over to see what it was. 'A clothing stand!' She snuck inside and found herself a dark blue cloak. As she put it on, she saw a black lower face mask and also put it on. 'Now they can't see my full face.' She crawled out from the back side and went left towards the other end of wherever the strip is. She had to cross over many cables before she reached the end. 'Huh, they are mythical beasts who use electricity.' Once she got out of there, a group of cloaked folks also walked by. She joined them from behind and followed them wherever until she found a way out of the building.

As they kept walking, May noticed that many of these creatures seem to be higher class. They have that aura of higher class people. They looked more defined. More gallant, some snobbish. Their outfits were fresh and clean. Every now and then she could see some lower class and she could tell. Their outfits weren't as clean nor as sharp. It was duller in color and instead of silky looking suitcases, it was made of fabric. They typically stayed on the outer edges of the area. The middle class was harder to distinguish since they can blend in on both sides.

After several turns throughout the Transport, she finally saw what looked like a door. She left the group she was following and went through the door only to reach a balcony. They are on a cliff! And it's dusk! There are no roads or cars or trucks or buses at all that could be seen below. It is filled with trees and mountains. In the far distance, it looked like there is a lake. A small dot of blue in the far horizon. 'How amazing! It is like I'm at the mountains! This is beautiful! If only I had my phone, I would take a picture of it all but I lost it in the struggle of getting out everywhere.'

She walked around the balcony for anyway of getting down without killing herself, but couldn't find any. 'How do they get from one area to the next then? There's no vehicles anywhere and I don't actually see any planes in the air either...' The realization of portals being the key of their main transportation suddenly hit her. 'Oh wait! They use portals!! That's right! If I can find one home, I can get away!'

She went back inside the building and started walking around to find a sign about "Earth" or something similar, but all the boards and signs they had were in a completely different language. 'Of course it won't be this easy. This is a completely different world after all. Hahaha.' May chuckled for a bit.
