Chapter 6：Episode 5 - Sector 4 (2/2)

– Follow me.

A guy, apparently from the troupe she's leader of, started to walk ahead of her, guiding her to their assigned warehouse. Luna just followed him, starting to feel anxious at being separated from Zorn. She thought they'd be on the same troupe. Now she was completely alone. In an unknown universe, with unknown people. And on top of that, leader.

Since everything was relatively close, they arrived at their warehouse in a few minutes, and promptly entered it. It was a simple place: there were only 5 beds and a small bathroom, since they won't need much in that place. The mysterious guy sat on one of the beds and without losing any more time he talked to Luna.

– So… Who are you, Luna?

Everyone looked at her. Obviously, the troupe knew each other, but Luna was a complete stranger.

– A-ahmm… I-I'm… L-Luna?

– She's so funny! Hi, my name's Elisa Sage. A pleasure. —she extends her hand to Luna—.

– A p-pleasure. My name is Luna Patterson… You probably won't believe me but… I came from another dimension… and I got dragged here to fight…

– Welcome then, we're Troupe 1 from Maeva region. The most powerful region of Alvea.

Luna's eyes grew bigger in surprise. Elisa confirmed that Maeva still was the world's great power. And she was the leader of said region. She didn't know if to feel happy or scared for that, but she really felt a strange sense of relief.

– I'm Sophie. Elise's best friend.

– The name's Zacharie, a pleasure, Luna! That guy who dragged you here is Stephen.… A pleasure.

– And… Luna. —Elise sat by her side—. How did you arrive to Alvea? How did you come from another dimension?

– Well… this guy, Zorn… whose troupe I don't know… came looking for me at my dimension, telling me that he needed me to end the war and all that… obviously I didn't believe him at first, but after seeing all this… it feels very real.

– I see… Welcome again! —she encircled Luna's neck, getting closer to her—. If you need anything, help understanding what's happening or just to talk, let me know!

Luna smiled, sensing a warm feeling coming from Elise. She felt she was slowly becoming part of the troupe, though Stephen still looked at her with doubt, internally questioning her fighting skills.

– Do you know how to fight? —asked Stephen—. Or anything related to war? Have you ever fought against soldiers in real life?

Luna felt a bit overwhelmed with all the questions he asked. Certainly, Luna had no talent whatsoever and felt insecure about herself, but something was telling her that she needed to fight for Maeva.

– Not really… But I'll learn! Something inside of me tells me that I must win for Maeva.

– That's the attitude! —exclaimed Zacharie—. I like this woman; her spirit is strong.

– Tch.

Stephen got up and walked out of the warehouse.

– Don't worry, Luna, he's like that. He wants to win not caring about what's to come. —Sophie said—.

– I understand his anger… I don't know how to fight… I don't know how to do anything… up until now I always had a normal life.

Luna too went outside of the warehouse. She wanted to get to know more of the place alone. She started to walk observing every corner with caution. Everything still seemed surreal, even while looking at it in that moment, she felt like she was in a dream. She couldn't believe she was inside Sector 4. A fictitious place she adored. Lost in her thoughts, she collided with someone.
