CHAPTER 26: ENCOUNTER (3)

CHAPTER 26: ENCOUNTER (3)

— Urhh...

Awaken was Aria, as she was wrapped in an animal fur next to a burning fire.

— isn't this the animal fur...

She thought, as she then observed that she was injured and wrapped in band aid.

Ouch!

She felt a slight pain on her head.

On contact with her head, she then pondered, as she attempted to recall.

— What happened? I was attacked by a klaus then...

"Ohh... So you're awake".

On hearing the strange voice, she swiftly propelled herself backwards.

Reacting with a defense position.

Aria then noticed a girl a few ages above her, wearing a white leather suit, covering only the top with animal fur.

Her noticeable feature was her embodied body.

With the feeling of inferiority complex over the difference between both of them, she annoying asked.

"Who are you?"

Having a calm expression, she said.

"Ho... Don't you think you should start by introducing yourself?"

Aria was puzzled as her threat didn't affect her.

She answered with a fierce face.

"I'm Aria, and you".

On hearing her name, the stranger said.

"Ho... A-Aria,

OK... Am Kyrie".

She detected her welding a knife, instantly she noticed the knife she was with was hers.

Afterwards, she searched, and noticed the knife she had in her was gone.

Kyrie then said.

"You might want to stop being tense and relax".

Aria then scowled and said.

"Kyrie,

Where's Blu?".

Responding to the question, she said.

"Blu... Oh, you mean the boy that's unconscious,

His over there".

Kyrie then pointed behind the fire—behind was Blu was still wrapped in animal fur.

After being aware of Blu's safety.

She quickly retreated to a near by tree trunk as she sat slowly, Kyrie said.

"Good, now I would like you to explain your situation".

Knowing that, she is one of the test subjects from Area 02.

She was quickly driven to think.

— The news of our escape might have been spread around... I don't know who Kyrie is? Is she an enemy or foe? Is she an ally of the [men in white]... No, she doesn't look like them, and Incidentally, she saved us... But that doesn't mean I can trust her... Plus, she's strong.

In the process of thinking, she remembered—Eliana kingdom.

She then glazed back at Blu.

Driven by the resolve to protect both her and Blu, she made a gray lie by saying.

"We were on our way to Eliana kingdom, so we got lost".

Kyrie then said. With a glaring face.

"Uhh... Lost".

Aria felt threatened by her glare.

Kyrie then opened up saying.

"OK, so you just a [lost]".

Aria instantly nodded. Unknowing, what a [lost] was she said.

"yes".

*tweet, tweet*

A little blue glowing bird then flew from behind Kyrie's back, landing on her shoulder as it made tweeting sound.

On sighting this bird, Aria was stunned by the meek feature of the bird, as she said.

"Cute... What creature is that?"

Kyrie then smiled as she said.

"Ohh... This is just a [Spirit]".

Aria was confused about what a [spirit] was, as she said.

"[Spirit]?".

Reacting to her query, Kyrie said.

"Hoo... So you don't know what a [Spirit] is?"

Aria was frightening by her response, as she worried, Kyrie would find out she lied about her story.

Kyrie noticed this and said.

"Well, don't worry about this, it's just a mini A.I.

She's my little partner, Eve.

She helps with navigation and support".

Aria's mood was then lightened.

Kyrie then turned to Eve, saying.

"weet".

The [Spirit] then responded with a radio call.

"Hey, Kyrie".

Kyrie then responded.

"what's going on? Aiya".

"Huh... Your asking what's going on?

Why did you reply to my messages and calls?"

"Oh... Sorry I was busy with something".

"Busy... You couldn't answer all my calls for the past 2 days, and now that you answered your, saying you're busy!

I thought you were dead".

"Sorry, sorry".

"Hah! When are you going to be back?"

"Uhmm... About that, well, a lot of things happened, so I won't be back for the next few days.

Huhh!!! Few days...".

Kyrie then cut the call.

*Sigh*

She then let out a sigh as she ruminated.

— ahhh!!! That a pain in the ass.

As she then gazed at Aria, who was seated still, as she couldn't utter a word due to the tense conversation.

Kyrie then said.

"So what are you going to do now?"

Baffled by the question, she said.

"I don't know".

With a smile in her face, Kyrie said.

"Why don't you follow me to the base".

Aria then asked.

"Base?"

"Yeah, we might locate where you're going to".

Aria then pondered over the decision of following Kyrie, so she asked

"Would you be able to treat Blu?"

Kyrie replied.

"Blu".

She then went up to Blu with the spirit floating on her hand.

On reaching Blu, she said.

"Scan".

Eve then shone a blue light rotating Blu body as it scanned him.

'initiating physical examination'.

After a short while, the light then retreated, as Eve said

'No physical damage was found'.

Kyrie then said.

"Huh!"

As she retreats back, she said.

"It seems like I won't be able to fix him, but at the base, we might".

Aria was agitated, as she wouldn't want anything to happen to Blu, so she said.

"OK... I would follow you".

Kyrie then responded with a blissful expression.

And then said.

"It might take a few days to reach the base, are you still going to come?"

Aria then nodded.

"Yes".

On hearing her response, she said.

"OK,

"It's still night, so make sure to get a good rest, cause tomorrow we have a long journey".

—————————————————————————

Meanwhile, at Eliana kingdom.

After the Queen had spoken to the two heads of Area 02.

A conference meeting was held the next day.

It was held on a round table with three people seated.

The reason for the conference meeting was unknown, as they all stood there glaring at each other.
