"Hey, hey, you're joking right?" Ezekiel asked, his eyes looking doubtfully on the guy. The guy never spoke to answer the question, still continuing to be scared and anxious, but calmed himself for the sake of the prince. However, with his silence mean that he wasn't lying about what he said.

"No...." Miranna replied, as she checked through her armband, which is colored in dark pink, while the timer itself is cyan. It continued to tick, the seconds going down.

"He isn't lying, they're coming here" She continued, putting the fork with the grilled cheese sandwich on Evan's plate, her eyes looking seriously at the panel above her armband. "Ah, sorry" She stretched the panel on top of her armband using her left hand, making the screen larger than it was before, meaning that everyone could see what was going on. A horde of Scorpix coming at their direction.

"Guy, I got good news and bad news" Miranna said.

"Good news first, Mirmir" Ezekiel replied, watching eagerly at the screen before him.

"AHHHH, THE PRINCE CALLED ME BY MY NICKNAME!!" Everyone glared at her for joking around in the dire situation they are in. She faked cough as a reason or a leeway to change the topic. "As I was saying, the good news is that only the Scorpix is heading towards the direction of this town, and the rest headed of to wherever they were going"

"And the bad news?" Evan asked, looking at her with great interest with the topic at hand. As by resolving this, they can get a ride to the Celestial kingdom.

"First, their are a lot of Scorpix heading this way, and we can't hold them off with the little people we have....".

"Can't we send a message to father to send reinforcements on protecting this town?" Ezekiel said.

"I already did" Miranna replied, sipping a cup of hot coffee while analyzing the monsters on the screen. She spoke afterwards "But it seems they are too busy to answer my message, most likely trying to attack the horde head on while its course is still unknown. I'll tell you when they reply".

"This girl is actually an oddball with skill" Evan thought to himself. "So" He spoke to them "How did you know about all of this anyways, Miranna?"

"*BEAT*, it was...Super effective..." She said, while a nosebleed dripped down her nose.

"I take back what I said" Evan regretted what he thought about her.

She wiped the blood on her nose with a handkerchief, and returned to the topic at hand. "Since you kindly asked me, Evan, I'll answer if you give me a reward...."

"Whaaa..."

"Just answer Mirmir" Ezekiel said in a deeper, threatening voice.

"Fine, fine, you killjoy little prince" Miranna replied, which led to Ezekiel getting a bit angry, but calmed himself for the information she'll give.

"I sent an observer to the horde's direction, since after all, I'm a scout!"

The two both tilted their heads, giving of a "What is that crazy woman talking about" type.

"Scout?" She looked at them both in disappointment. "Haven't you heard about it anywhere?" She looked at Ezekiel "Especially you, young prince?"

"Oh no, not me" He waved both hands in disagreement "I only focused on the sword, that's all"

"I mean, this should be basic knowledge, knowing the story of the five heroes and all"

"Five hero....Wha?" Evan said, while Ezekiel has a look in his eyes, like how his face shined bright like the sun on how excited he is to be talking about this topic.
