[Did you say they should be with your teacher?]
[It should be, they should be working together in the west. August and Marceline; The Predators, surely they came because it changed the course of history in this world but even so it should not happen so quickly, it should take longer if they were helping Mirna. They were supposed to come to Orsys after the war with Sahmar but they were a little over twenty years ahead, shit]
[Ouch, that's a long time. Are they very dangerous?]
[As much or more than the best tracker on the Commission. They will be a problem if we don't take care of ourselves. We should find out what exactly they are looking for, I doubt that it is the same as Espin's dogs, the problem is that I don't remember what the Nest insects wanted back then apart from Sophia's head, it must be something very important that made them move up here so fast, for now let's pretend we didn't see them and keep going because this place is infested with insects and wolves]
Ray and Meraki were quick to disappear into the crowd, but by the time they had completely vanished from sight, someone had already noticed their presence.
-A beautiful chance or rather it would be fate. They are also watching out for predators.
-That seems to be the case, but because they would be watching.-
-Although we did not manage to intercept them Emir, it was obvious that this masked man and boy knew of all the infiltrators in the festival and the movement was fast. Maybe they were just tails-
-There are even children with that level. I find these people more and more terrifying. How skilled must they be to involve them in such matters?
-Enough to have found out before us about "The Predators." Let's leave this until here and come back, today was more productive than I thought it would be.-
The men left as the fireworks exploded and lit up in the sky. The couple being watched noticed that almost all eyes on them disappeared. But what left them most intrigued were the man and the boy next to him who vanished in a second.
-For a moment I felt that this guy knew us, I could even feel the pressure emanating from his gaze, it felt familiar, heh! -
-I have no idea how he did that, he may be an unclassified supreme sorcerer, but if I can confirm one thing, that the wolves were waiting for them. It was very obvious about the Emir Rashid-
-We have more work August, the Commission is no longer our business but those people. Let's leave the sheep doing their usual work and we will hunt rats. If we manage to hunt one we will find the answer-
-Hmm, let's move on with the blessings to get rid of these idiots-
They both nodded and disappeared from the festival heading for the favelas.

Since last night, Ray was lying in a chair with a terrible headache and holding his head with both hands, trying to clarify his ideas with mantras. Meraki, on the other hand, was playing with the miniatures. Assembling and disarming the pieces, he was locating his objectives but he still lacked strategic places. He was urged by the need to have everything in sight and in order. If only one location is missing, the plan could be flawed.
-Dad, wouldn't it be better if you take something for the headache? -
-I already took the aspirin but this fucking pain won't go away. Hmm ... it's because of the anxiety, I think about something else, but the pain won't go away- taking a deep breath, he closes his eyes and tries to forget the meeting last night.
-Ready dad! The central and southeast area are already finished, I only need the area of the crazy bitch and her puppy. But it will be difficult for me to enter, I doubt that the model will be perfect with what I have.-
Suddenly Ray opens his eyes and looks at the ceiling. A crazy idea has occurred to him.
-Mera, why don't we go out for a walk around. Let's gossip for a while and then we come back, it's good that you go out to stretch your legs after being with your models and this may make my headache go away-
-But you told me..-
-Forget what I said. I have a feeling. We must go out to see what the dolls are up to before they enlarge the toy's house.
The sections were divided. Ray would go as a servant to the southwest and Meraki would walk like a kitten to the north of the central courtyard.
**
Gossip and rumors of all kinds are heard in the surroundings. Only maids commenting on love affairs, robberies, deaths, nothing forceful or important until suddenly, Meraki who is walking between the ceiling beams notices a maid who watches him and smiles at him from below. The young woman stretches her arms as if to grab him and calls out to him.
-Come on kitty, I'll take you to your owner. If they find you they will hurt you and your master will be sad-
Meraki tilted his head, thinking about it a bit, and jumped into the young maid's arms. The girl quickly hides it in her apron pocket. On their way they are intercepted by another woman.
-Where are you going Latifa? -
-Nowhere, but where are you going in such a hurry, Fatima? You hadn't been reassigned to the stables?
-I just came to eat and I happened to see you walking in the opposite direction to your work- the young woman grabs her arm and interrogates her partner who looks suspicious - You are not going to see that useless dwarf, are you? The sheikh and the emir told you, leave it to chance. We have enough with those terrorists-
-You don't have to remind me, also I can walk on my own, let me go-
The woman was forcibly taken to another point in the castle to meet other maids. There Meraki witnessed the secret meeting of these women and the ideas between crazy, twisted, hallucinatory and even laughable that they had about him and his father. The superiors of these women apparently did not have the slightest idea of how to continue with the matter that ended up calling them a terrorist group.
Meraki was holding back his laughter and he did not hesitate to warn his father that it would take a little longer because he had found valuable information. Ray was amazed at his decision but he let him do what he wanted carefully because when the boy told him about his absence, he had almost laughed out loud.
