Recognition (part 01)

About two months passed and we finally visited all the emperors and returned to the main house.

Returning, I finished all the arrangements and left again with a group of people from the Aires family towards the outskirts of Marva, where all those who were assigned to participate in the exploration of the ruins would be gathered.

Two days passed and in a simple hall everyone who would participate in the reconnaissance mission was present and at the moment I was highlighting some details of the mission.

"As everyone is already aware, there will be six groups in total and the paper I gave you is recorded the probable dates and times when new groups of the organization will be sent for reconnaissance"

"I hope everyone leaves the ruins two days before the rounds so they won't be discovered"

"Each team will have a two-month time limit to do the recon and come back to where we are now and contribute the information discovered."

"You guys explored overnight and will leave the ruins as soon as day breaks, all these precautions are for everyone's safety and I hope you take them seriously"

Finishing the last details, everyone split into their respective groups and left, each in a different direction.

Watching them walk away I sighed inwardly as I walked away and walked inside.

"Concerned?" I heard Joyce comment as soon as she saw me come back

"A little" I nodded slightly in acknowledgment. "But it is necessary and I hope we find something"

"Follow your instincts, if they say it's necessary, do it" She replied with a smile.

I also smiled in agreement and after we talked for a while longer, I went back to my room where I was staying to rearrange the last details.

Picking up a map, I watched it carefully before commenting lightly.

"We will leave in the morning until dawn, it seems that the best route to choose is the one to the northwest, through the forest"

"There's only a small hill in the way, however, as long as we're not found by random passers-by, a slight delay won't hurt"

Making a decision, I packed everything before I went to take a shower and go to bed.

At dawn, everyone else gathered in the main hall and seeing those strange and familiar faces I gave a slight smile, greeting them before saying with conviction. "We will!" And then we set off towards the ruins.
