Hayley lead the group through the city, it took a while but they finally reached their destination. It was a cluster of tents, with military constantly patrolling the area.

Hayley led them to a tent near the outskirts of the cluster. It was a decent size, large enough to fit everyone, but aside from that, there was nothing else.

”Anyway, should you need me I'll be at that tent over there,” She said while pointing to a tent near the middle. She began walking away, towards the tent she pointed at.

”Alright, let's keep everything in the tent for now,” Alfredo said as he placed his bags in the tent.

Lachlan felt something tugging at his mind ever since he saw Hayley's stats, mainly about the soul contracts.

He quickly dropped off his stuff and began walking towards Hayley's tent, hoping to clarify his thoughts and maybe help comfort her.

Opening the tent he saw Hayley sitting at a desk in the tent with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that she had a quest she quickly rubbed her eyes and looked towards Lachlan, ”What's up? You need something?”

”Just wanted to see how you're doing,” Lachlan said.

”You don't need to do that, I'm a soldier I can handle it,” She said,

”So what happened to your beasts?” Lachlan asked. His question caused Hayley's body to shiver and freeze, unsure with how to answer the question, whether she should lie or not.

”What are you talking about, I never had any beast,” She said.

”Yeah you did, you had birds, it was pretty obvious you did when Alfredo brought it up that I had some,” Lachlan explained.
