Things were quiet in Immorra. As they had been for quite a while now.

The time for the impending war was about to come.

Everyone was sure of it, as they had been warned beforehand. The city streets of Immorra were filled with a palpable sense of unease, and individuals clad in armor were seen roaming the area.

"Are you ready? The portal should be opening anytime now."

Emma turned to Amanda, who had been keeping a low profile while standing next to her. She was standing still, staring silently over the vast area of land that was in front of her while her bow was firmly held in her hand.

How long had it been since she'd last seen him?

He had promised her he'd visit every week, which was about ten weeks in here, but…

'Liar.'

He had only come once in the past and never returned since.

She was obviously aware that he was most likely busy and that he did not have the time to visit, or perhaps there were other circumstances that prevented him from returning, but even so...

She still couldn't help but feel a little indignant over the situation.

It had been years since she had last seen him, and she missed him.

"Don't worry, we'll meet him soon enough. When we get there, you can scold him or beat him to your heart's content however you see fit."

"Mhm."

Amanda nodded her head at Emma's words.

Indeed, she was going to be seeing him soon…

She wasn't sure whether she'd beat him, or scold him like Emma was saying, but she was certainly not going to let this slide once everything was over.

"It looks like the two of you are ready."

Right then, Jin appeared in the distance.

He was wearing a black coat and had his hands in his pockets as he walked calmly toward them. A cigarette was wedged between his lips, and as he inhaled, smoke drifted out into the air.

Pinching the cigarette with his fingers, Jin let out a puff and flicked it away.

"Are the two of you ready?"

"We've prepared as much as we could've."

Emma responded while her hand softly caressed the hilts of her short swords that were resting on her hips.

"I've made quite some progress, but… well, I'm not exactly where I want to be."
