"Before Wildana, hm? Miss Lean, could you tell us where you're
from? If not personal, that is." Yue scooted forward a bit, pulling
his ponytail back behind his head before it could smack anyone.
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't
talking about Transformers? Well, this is embarrassing.
"Oh, well, it's a distant place. You would not know it." Lean
shrugs, surprised that she was called "Lean" as well... though she
enjoys the name somewhat. A fun twist on Lena, she thought. Shortly
after, she takes out the orb and inspects it, looking back at
Caspian and Yue. "... how come you ask?"

"Well, you could say curiosity, I suppose. Everyone has a story and
it's fun to share." He swung his legs a bit after realizing the
broom wouldn't go too fast. "Sometimes it lets people know more
about others."
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't

Lean hasn't averted her eyes from the orb just yet... but she does
feel a weird urge to tell them a bit about herself. Still, if she
told them too much, they might think she's insane.
"I'm... from a very distant country. My mom was... also working for
the government and, despite me being young, she allowed me to help
out. Since I was good at... riding carriages, she allowed me to be
the main driver. I even outsped Kendo more than once. I, ehh..."
She stopped about halfway through, scratching the bottom of her
chin.
It was difficult telling her story, much more when you have to
reword it on the fly to not sound like a maniac.
"... sorry, I'm not good at telling stories." She deflected,
forgetting the story she told Yue and Caspian about the lovers in
the night sky.
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
"No, no. You're actually quite good at it so take your time if you
want." He smiled. "Seems you have much experience with vehicles.
And out speeding Kendo? That's Bizarre! Wouldn't he just... Well,
appear in front of you?" He didn't know the word for teleport.
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't
talking about Transformers? Well, this is embarrassing.
"Back then, I'd do that to him. Before he arrived, I would stand
there in my carriage and just drink a cup of water." Lean shrugs,
sighing and patting the orb a little. "... well, I don't know what
you would like to hear of my home. It was an ordinary country, with
a president, cities... humans..."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
"Hmm." Yue thought for a few moments. "What was its name? The city,
I mean. Maybe one day we could all go there, like a vacation?
Perhaps then you and Kendo could race again!"
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't

Lean gave it a thought, she did not know what to say. Her actual
origin is too obscure for this place... I mean, would Yue or
Selaphiel even know "the United States"? So instead, she shakes her
head. "It's... a distant place. Americana, you would not know it."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
"Americana... Sounds civilised. Americana..." He tapped on his
chin. "Sounds like a drink too, has a vintage ring to it. Well,
that's another place after to my exploration list." He smiled,
turning back to Lean.
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't
talking about Transformers? Well, this is embarrassing.
"It is... although a little flawed." Lean looks away in
embarrassment, still patting the orb like it was a cat or
something. "I'll try to get you there, it is quite the trip you
know." She laughs a bit, sighing. "But we have all the time we need
there."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
After a while, Selaphiel appeared randomly, flying behind them as
if nothing ever happened. She flew closer to Lean, looking at the
orb. "At least it's still intact, here, give it to me."

"H-Hold on." Lean holds the orb out of range for Selaphiel, though
she was a little hesitant about that as well. "I-I am sorry if I
have to be this blunt or non-compliant but... you never told us
that the creature could speak. And it gave us some vague but
serious warnings about you. I... I will hand over the orb, if you
explain. Either about yourself or the monster." She was nervous
about speaking against the angel but she wasn't gullible enough to
just hand it over either. Her look was stern, though jittery.
You know the first rule in combat?

"That thing is full of lies, it tries turning allies against each
other to separate them. Makes them easier to eat. Now hand over the
orb." She explained in a very to-the-point tone, extending her
hand. "Let me see it."

Lean looks at the orb again, then holds it close to her body. "...
as much as I want to believe you... something just does not add up.
A creature of that size and power, guarding an orb like this... why
would it knock us away. And why would it need to speak to divide
its prey..." She shows quite the analytical thoughts, looking at
the orb again. "... what does this orb do?"
You know the first rule in combat?

“I have three illusion cloakers, one for each of us. They each last
for ten minutes, max, but provide a decent disguise. If you try
fighting with the illusion cloaker, your illusion will be shattered
so it’s not the best, but if we’re just walking through Wildana it
shouldn’t be a problem. Or if you want, I have these so-called
appearance-changers. They last longer, for an hour, and fighting
won’t ruin your disguise. These will physically change your
appearances for a set period of time. However, they come with
varied side effects like nausea, headaches and the like, the
intensity and severity depending on the person. Sometimes it’ll
leave traces behind, after it wears off. So, are you guys up to
using any of them?” Andrea asks, pulling out six small hexagonal
devices and showing off several brightly colored vials that she had
hid in a secret pocket of her garment.
Peter squinted at the vials, putting his hands on his hips. "Hm,
I'll take that cloaking thingy. Since I don't fight much, I don't
think it'll wear off soon." He looked to the guards and then back
to the two. "Well, we better make up a plan and quick. Wildana
ain't going to take over itself, y'know."
MEGATRON HAS FALLEN!! I, STARSCREAM, NOW LEAD THE- Oh we weren't

Azazel shook his head. “The cloaks won’t be needed. My plan was
fighting my way through.” Ahead close to the castle, all the
citizens had been cleared and put into their homes for safety and
almost every guard in the entirety if the kingdom was there. “They
can’t defend forever after all.” He starts walking towards the
massive army, it having about 500,000 armed soldiers ahead. The
soldiers looked ready to defend the Tree of Life (renamed it lol).
"Ohh. So mass genocide then." He nodded before whistling. The sound
pierced through the air, alerting all the spiders in the forest.
The clambered down from the trees and crawled out of burrows,
stepping up beside Andrea and Azazel as an army of their own. A
spider the size of a horse roared before leaning down so Peter
could pet it. "I hope you don't mind but could you please help us
plow through the army. Yes, thank you." The Spiders all chittered
in unison as they advanced towards the guards.

Lean kept staring at Selaphiel, her neutral face did not remove any
of her suspicions... on the contrary, it made her even more
paranoid, as she hugs the orb. "... alright..." She slowly hands
the orb over, ready to move away though, if something happens.
