The girls walked, run and swam as far away as possible, for the guards were everywhere. Ekud's plan was far worse then they expected. How did there ex-leader do all this when he was super busy fighting other colonies? After days of walking, they stopped, to find a big red tower, with a logo that said; SWORD TRAINING. They were in China, so they expected a lot of swords and fighting, since the attack on the clan that had a population of 700 people was here.
    "Should we go in?" Selly asked.
    "Possibly, but we need to make sure the coast was clear." Answered Diana. "Do you see? That women that was at the tofu stand over there just got snatched." Getting snatched is a terrible thing that clans do, they make you go crazy enough that the nurses take you to an asylum. Of course, with Ekud and his colony ruling, the asylums shut down.
They waited until nothing moved a centimetre, then they dashed into the building. At first they didn't think anyone was there, until Nadia got a sword to the neck. She was surprised at first, but she grabbed the sword, pulled it away and kicked the girl in the stomach. She dropped it down and grunted.
    "You sure are talented," she said in a muffle, "I am Sylvany. What have you come here for? We are here only for training against the army of Ekud. If you are part of him, leave and never come back."
When they didn't move, she added, "welcome to one of the last safe places in China. It is a big country, but not as big as Ekud's colony is. What do you need?"
    "We are looking for a place to stay and train," replied Kayla.
    "You are welcome to stay here, even though we are running a bit low on supplies. We can give you a room in... you know what? Just follow me. It makes everything easier than trying to explain the layout."
They paced quickly up a staircase to a hallway full of rooms. Sylvany led them to a big room which had four beds, a big table and blades stabbed on the walls.
    "It may be a bit messy..."
    "I think we can make due with this!" Nadia exclaimed.
    "If there is anything you need, ask me. But remember, I am NOT a servant. I'm just being kind."
    "There is one thing, do you mind getting us a katana, a dagger, a sword and a knife?"
    "Not at all, and make yourself at home because you are probably gonna be here for a while. I will sharpen the blades. The sparing and training room is down stairs, and I don't recommend training in here. You can throw your dagger at the wall, but it's best for you to be downstairs. I think y'all should get some rest."
