I’m thinking they’re scientists, because they were mixing chemicals and had human-sized tubes. I couldn’t figure out what they were trying to create because the window seemed tinted, but I could see at the other side of the room some equipment and wiring. What exactly are they trying to do? Is the guy standing on the platform the head of Causan Industries? I doubt it. Someone important to this threat of a company wouldn’t expose himself in a mere laboratory with other individuals who can possibly betray him, but I don’t think they can do that anymore. They look so lifeless, like they’re being controlled by strings. I couldn’t imagine who their families would feel right now, being separated from each other, not knowing that they’re alive. It was a wide window, but the door wasn’t in my range of vision. The laboratory looked like it was a round room.

The Yellow & Red Sea Prologue
For centuries, the Aleris Imperial Army have been decoding the final message of Louisiano Alon, the only person to ever reach Causan Industries and come back alive, with enough time to deliver a message before being assassinated, that is said to be the way to get to the hidden headquarters of Causan Industries. "You wait 'til the sun aligns with the ocean, 'til the sky is bright and blood red, and there the passageway will be seen with the naked eye,” he says. With the new recruits of the Aleris Imperial Army said to be at its strongest, they attempt to look for Causan Industries again before their land is destroyed for good.

For centuries, our ancestors, have been enslaved and forcefully taken to work at Causan Industries. We never discovered how to get to Causan Industries. First of all, they have assassins and camps all around our city to prevent us from looking for them and to take more people. A scientist and professor named Louisiano Alon made a stand to protect us and formed the Aleris Imperial Army by creating elemental and self-generating weapons. The people started to fight back, but it wasn’t enough. Causan Industries started to take our natural resources such as iron, oil, and fuel to make their own weapons, and they were good at it. They created weapons that can easily kill a human being even from a long range and trained the people they enslaved to be assassins with nanotechnology. Louisiano Alon infiltrated Causan Industries, the first to ever succeed. He discovered the true plan of Causan Industries- to make the city fall, literally. Our city is a big island that evolved. We made walls ar

The ground below us completely crumbled, but it’s a good thing that it didn’t extend. If the path that we took collapsed as well, there’s a possibility that it will reach camp and the people will not be prepared to evacuate. We examined the platform and the lower part of it was still stuck to the ground, so we couldn’t see the whole thing. It’s like there was an underground facility near the cliff. “What should we do, General?” Marco asked General Alon. We all stood behind her, waiting for her instructions. A cold breeze whipped past us that sounded like choirs, like it was a message from someone above us. Later on, General Alon turned and looked up, like she was waiting for someone to fall out of the sky. Suddenly, the trees behind us rustled and the birds flew to the sky. General Alon was not alerted, so we remained calm and did no move. Three persons emerged from the forest- one of them was a woman with platinum medium length hair, wearing our uniform with a silve

“Ace looks at us like we’re some kind of kids. It’s so obvious that he doesn’t want us in their team,” Josaiah complained and sulked on the table. We were now gathered at one table here in camp, waiting for the others to arrive. One cool thing about food here in camp is that they serve us an appetizer, the main course and a dessert. Today, they served us salad that Josaiah is currently nipping on. “I guess they’re okay with just being a three-person squad,” Xy reasoned out but his brows were furrowed. I continued eating the salad while they talk about their disappointments. A few minutes later, Gabriella and her squad arrived. Captain Hiragi greeted them then they walked towards our table to join us. “Good evening, fellas,” Ace greeted. He seems to be in a good mood. Ace sat beside Marco, Snow sat beside Xy and Gabriella sat beside me. I raised my eyes at her and she just smiled and patted my shoulders. “Wow, you’re in a good mood,” Josaiah said. I massaged m

Gabriella and I smashed the walls on both side and Ace broke down the door in front. The people inside didn’t look to surprised but I guessed they didn’t expect us to be this many. The first to attack me was a guy who had an extending spear. He slashed in front, which is one of the common mistakes in fighting. You do not attack forward as your first move, it’s the most predictable move you can make. I easily dodged it and used a balisong to cut his waist. Since I’m more proficient when it comes to long distance attacks, I had to train close combat and make myself prepared. I carry a balisong or a butterfly knife and an extra dagger attached to my calf in case I have to resort to close combat. “What the hell?!” someone exclaimed. I turned and saw someone backing up from the back, but he immediately froze and fell to the ground, Marco appearing behind him. I felt a ray of light behind me and that’s when I saw the cabin being surrounded with crystal light.

I woke up feeling hot and sweaty. When I opened my eyes, my first initial thought was I was kidnapped and tied beside a fire, but I was on the ground, on cement to be exact. I was laying down and when I turned, Snow was beside me lighting a candle. “Hey, Red. You’re awake. This is a healing candle, it’s good for your nervous and respiratory systems,” she said, answering the question I was yet to think. A few seconds later, Marco entered the room. “The first time I saw you unconscious. What was that?” he asked. I don’t know if he was teasing me or he was actually concerned for me. “I don’t know. I thought I saw someone, and there was definitely someone, but I lost him,” I explained, expressing my disappointment. I stood up, Snow gasping, like she didn’t expect me to immediately recover that fast. I went out the room and saw the others resting by a fire. They all looked at me when I got out, Josaiah even stood up. What, like he was nervous for me? Geez, hav

The man looked tall and strong, like he had been training. I got a good look at him when he had his back on me. Although I couldn’t recognize him, he was someone I could remember and distinct from all my visions. I thought of the forest. It looked like an ordinary forest, but the trees were huge and tall, like our forest. It felt like I was in a maze when my vision shifted to the forest where there was no one I could see. The boat in the middle of the ocean was even more confusing. It was just a small boat with one paddle and it was empty. It just sat there on the ocean still and there were no waves at all, like the waters were calm. Why am I having these visions? It doesn’t make sense. I wasn’t in contact with anyone, let alone people from Causan Industries. Except for the fact that we killed their scouts, but they’re low-leveled. They weren’t even allowed to enter their premises and they didn’t even know who they were working for. I laid on my bed and closed my eyes. How am I

Gabriella’s “How am I going to make up for him then?” I asked Snow who was reading a book while laying down on her bed. We just got back from the mission and I just finished washing up. It’s not that what I did was wrong, but I thought I was being too harsh on Red. I know he’s a great leader and soldier, but he, himself, was hesitant to stay longer because of what happened to him. I just wanted him to know that I care for his thoughts and choices for himself. “I don’t know, Gabi. Maybe just apologize,” Snow said, not looking at me. I don’t know if she’s being sarcastic or if she’s actually giving a suggestion, but judging her tone, she’s being honest. I sighed and laid down my bed. It doesn’t matter now. All I have to do is just apologize and explain. The night went by pretty quickly considering the fact that I literally rehearsed in my head what I was going to say. “Red, I’m sorry for looking down on you,” “You kn

Louisiano’s It’s so stressful how they keep sliding off my hands when they’re so close to us already. They managed to attack the camp and plant cameras, but I still can’t get a clue about Causan Industries. My wife has been creating our own cameras for the past two days, and it’s been nothing but amazing. She’s the main reason how we’re progressing on our weapons and experiments, and she’s been working on medical research at the same time. I’ve been venturing around the east forest for a while now and I’ve discovered a few clues about the intruders. There were signs of camping on the cliffs and marks on the trees, so I decided to illustrate them on the diary I found a few days ago. I kept track of the things I discover so I can put them together when I have enough clues. Recently, I saw from the cameras that were just attached to the cliffs of the east forest that there were scouts who climbed the cliff to enter the forest. I’m guessing that they got

“Are you sure you’re going to keep it?” I asked Louisiano while observing the hook. It looked old, but it wasn’t broken or torn, like it was just recently used. We were walking back to the camp, but he said he wanted to look into it more and bring it to our lab. “It’s safer for it to be with us, than leave it be at the cliff,” he said. I gave the hook back to him and he suddenly reached out to his back and brought out a book. “I found this as well. It looks like a diary, but it’s empty,” he said and then gave me the diary for me to look. It was indeed, empty. The structure of the diary looks new and the pages were smooth and brightly white. The cover didn’t have any design, simply a colored brown hard cover. There were no signature or ink spill, like it was newly bought. “I think I might use it for records. Have our own copy, don’t you think?” he suggested with an anticipating smile. He smiled with his dimples and teasing eyes, so I tossed the diary back at h

“Louis!” I called to him. My mind was not processing and I couldn’t let out my voice once more. My legs were just sprinting toward him and I couldn’t see the other people fighting by the entrance. When I rushed toward him, I immediately knelt and held his shoulders. “W-what happened? Where did you get hurt?” my mouth blurted out as my eyes looked for his injury. I didn’t want to touch him anywhere near the blood, but he was panting. I embraced his head and let him lean on me. “T-talk to me, please!” I pleaded to him. He held my hand and turned to me. He suddenly held my head to his chest and rubbed my back. I couldn’t understand what he was doing and I was trying to push him away because I might hurt him. “You came back for me,” he softly said. I closed my eyes and breathed. I hugged him back lightly and placed my hands on the back of his shoulder. This isn’t the first time that we got attacked, but this was the first time we got attacked with Gabriella.

19 years ago “Hey, Nat? Do you think this will fit me?” I heard Gabriella ask Nat. I was busy working on the steel bow we just finished creating here in our camp, so Nat is currently keeping my daughter busy. Gabriella found herself a soldier’s uniform in one of the cabinets and decided to try it on. She's only five, but her curiosity is unbelievable. Nat chuckled and placed her hand on her chin, pretending to be thinking deeply. “Hmm, I guess it would need some stitching, Gabi,” she told Gabriella. Nat just arrived here four months ago, and she already developed a close bond with Gabriella. Nat helps us look out for my daughter whenever me and my husband are busy. Speaking of my husband, I haven’t seen him in six hours already. “Nat, I’m going to look for Louisiano. Can you watch her for a little longer?” I asked Nat as I stood and wore my coat. I’m just so grateful that Nat enjoys Gabriella’s company even when she gets a little annoy

“It’s a good thing the weather is great today,” Mom said, staring at the sky in front of her tent. I was observing the people gather, counting them and familiarizing those who were coming with us. Today marks my father’s 12th death anniversary. It’s usually just me and mom visiting my father’s grave above the east mountain since we only say our prayers and have a few drinks, but today, the people suddenly started gathering while bringing food, saying that they want to come with us. Red and his squad will be coming with us too, and it’s going to be their first time coming to his grave. “Well, looks like everybody’s ready,” I said as they all wait for us to lead the way. Captain Hiragi and a few men will be staying to guard the camp. Mom and I lead the way to the east mountain while Snow and Ace tagged right behind us. The east mountain isn’t really that far from camp, but the trail is a little steep. It leads to the highest cliff there is in Aleris and below it are
