Returning to Shadow and Darkness

[Swan of Tounela]

"I guess we can relax for just a bit. The concert does not start for a while."

We sit in a secluded area by a duck pond.

[Minako Anio]

"Do not be sorry. Yes, I suppose the weather is nice. Through I hope Red Infinity doesn't show. But they are almost sure to be here."

[Lady Violet]

"Fine, it is best if we do not discuss Kith. Maybe we should discuss this concert. It will attract quite a crowd. LIF has been laying low. It seems that the Capitalists are our newest enemy."
I look out the window at the gloomy Beijing sky. The red flag of Red Infinity flutters outside, tapping against the window pane.

[Hope98]

"Yes, they will likely show up. We can count on that. I only wish I knew what they were up to."

I look at the sky, which is clear and pleasant.

"Well, I trust Bassarov. This concert is needed to boost the rebel morale and to protest the crimes of Red Infinity."

[Cloud]

I lean on a lamp post trying not to get near the crowd. I wait for the concert to start. I start to get impatient so I start to room the city.

[Alkonost]

i sit down with her, "... i meant for a few weeks... ". i shrug and lay back. "did they send anyone else other then us?..."

[Swan of Tounela]

"There may be some dragons...Dionysus and Ambrosia. But I have not seen them. They may be in their human forms wandering around the city."

I lay on the grass and pick a dandilion.

[Dr. Lenna Simion]

"Doctor, all forces save the Hunters have completed the recall to Alpha Site. They have resumed functions and eliminated all evidence of our former bases."

"Good. The time has come to return to the underground. Let the rebels and their allies fight away, we will simply wait this out."

"Yes madam. And what about the Owl?"

"Let him be," Lenna says, waving a hand, "He's lived out his usefulness anyway."

"As you wish."

Lenna sighs, leaning back in her chair and closes her eyes, enjoying a moment's peace.

Now, we will simply watch and wait.

[Kisa Higurashi]

Yeah! Let's go! I said, entusiastically standing up.

Kai and I then started our walk.

[Alkonost]

"i see... so they send us and two dragons to stop the revival of a goddess who could destroy the world... kind of a high risk"... i look at the sky. "oh well... i think we can stop it even if the odds are against us... all we have to do is take care of that human sorcerer if her does get his hands on the egg, then its over..."

[Catherine]

I laughed and shook my head.

I doubt that's it. It's just that the school was...classy. A lot of the subjects that the school taught I couldn't do well...

[Swan of Tounela]

"Yes it is an enormous risk that the gods of good are taking, that is for sure. I am very worried."

[Cloud]

I wander around the city looking for anything weird.

[Lin-Sat]

look at her //. i really doubt the capitalists will try anything at the rebels concert... that would just make the other rebel groups hate them even more.... i sigh and motion to the chair . you can sit down violet...

Mark
i smile again. . you couldnt do?.. now that is something i doubt. well i still think i was right, i look at her agian. well i dont blame you... the schools these days teach kids stuff they taught in college in my time...

[Lady Violet]

"Yes, I need to take a break for a moment."

I sit before his desk and try to relax a little.
