*On his way home, Traveler thought of random stuff that would feel his mind, knowing he would'nt live a real life with music to chill it would be a long way back to Duran City.*
**Received message.**
*He opened his phone and looked into his messaging app to see a text from Ken.*
**"Yo! How was your journey? Are you coming back? We need to talk. All of us."**
**"All of us?"** *He said making a confused expression, how many people would be at their place?*
**"Also, Yes i am on my way back. I'm like 28 stations away."**
**"Ah you left recently. Well then we'll wait for you here and then we'll talk. Safe journey!"**
*He looked a bit extra confused as he examined the past texts and then thought to himself "What's so important that requires my attention? And still... how many people are there...? Eh i'll just leave it for when i return." He put his phone down and kept looking through the window noticing red sky and clouds towards the south. A sign on the road had many names on it with different coordinates, east for Duran City his direction, west for Iceland basically behind him, north for Tamoria and south for Topalia. He memorized the names and then began researching about these names.*
Traveler: "Hmm? Let's see what's this about. But before that! Let me take a quick photo of the sky, maybe someone knows about it."
*He opens his camera and takes a photo of the red sky and clouds. Then he goes back to researching.*
**He began by searching the first unknown name Tamoria. 'The name Tamoria refers to the Nation of electricity ruled by two goddesses. Their name is unknown to the mankind and they are a force to be reckoned with.'**
*Huh? Just that? He thought there would be more information but the AI system sadly dissapoints him.*
Traveler: "Huh... Less info than i expected. I'll ask i guess when i return. Now on to the next..."
**Topalia refers to the Nation of Fire ruled by Goddess Polimera the third oldest god in this world and under severe protection by Lord Hanzo. This nation is known for it's massive vulcan causing massive damage to other nations and for the instability that the goddess is barely in control of. Also one of the biggest nations in the entire world! And a pretty nice one to explore.**
*Now this felt better. But about the red sky? No info? What kind of secret weather could it mean?*
Traveler: "Wow that's cool! But i am definitely aware of the vulcan... Still i didn't find anything related to the sky... Odd.. eh whatever i'll eventually find info about it."
*As time passed the bus eventually reached Duran City and he made his way to Athena's place where he noticed 1 car presumably Carmina's? So he made his way inside being greeted by Ken first.*
Ken: "Yo! My man! How you doing?"
Traveler: "I'm fine. Long day i suppose. What's that you needed me for?"
Ken: "Us. Come with me."
*He follows Ken outside in the backyard where he noticed Athena,Mika Yuki and Carmina sitting together having a chat but there was... One more person?*
Ken: *whistles* "Yo! He's here!"
*As they arrived in the backyard Traveler did a fist bump with everyone and sat down.*
Athena: "So? How was your day Traveler?"
Traveler: "Long story short... A bit tiring and rest.. just talks. That's it."
Athena: "Nothing else?"
*He nodded*
Traveler: "So? What do you need from me?"
Mika: "Just a reunion nothing much, we planned eating together."
Traveler: "Uhhh and i hurried! For nothing! Also, who's this distinguished gentleman here?"
?: "Sup mate! I'm Ethan Garcia, Mika's boyfriend what about you?"
*They shook hands.*
Traveler: "Wait wait wait... Boyfriend? Am i seeing this right? Nah i have to be dreaming."
Athena: "She recently met him. And i think they're cute toge- ow!"
*Mika nudged her a bit too hard as she buried her face in her hands.*
Yuki: "Hey come on! Chill! They just met! Don't go that far!"
Athena: "What? Can't i compliment someone?"
Carmina: "If im honest with you definitely took it a bit too far."
Ken: "Sooo! Who's ready to party??"
*Yuki jumped from her chair and immediatelly chimes in quick!*
Yuki: "Bring the heat! I'm going all in tonight!"
Traveler: "Can we drop the funsies for 2 seconds and have a look at what i captured on my way back? I think it may be serious."
*As Carmina and Athena were about to head in the kitchen they stopped and turned.*
Ken: "Show us. Could'nt be that bad now can it?"
*He pulls out his phone and opens his gallery where he shows them his most recent photo of the red sky and clouds towards the south.*
Traveler: "I've seen these since i was in the bus after talking to Ken. Do yall have a clue what this is?"
Athena: "Well ever since our beach break we had orange clouds which signify meteor showers. Blue black and grey mean rain that gets worse based off the color. But red? Uhh... I don't know at all..."
Ethan: "There's a chance i might've encountered this once. Back in my school travels in Topalia we have encountered the same red sky that's here. And from what i learned from the goddess that gave us a tour it usually means blood rain or worse signaling another vulcanic eruption. And not just a normal eruption. This one sends lava extremely far up to 10 kilometers away."
Yuki: "Does this m-m-mean we are in danger?"
Carmina: "No. As a Chief Officer i usually learned the distance from most nations. We are around 35 kilometers away from Topalia. So we should be safe. But i must alert the station just in case. Give me 3 minutes and i'll be right back." *She left pulling her phone out.*
Mika: "So then we should'nt worry as much now should we?"
Athena: "I don't think so. But we must stay alert just in case. Anyways! Let's get back to our side guys! Yall worry too much!"
Ethan: "Don't worry babe :) i'll protect you if something bad happens."
Mika: "Act less like what you should here alright...? I don't feel too comfortable."
*She received a sneaked kiss but then they were lost in their own world after.*
Traveler: "Yea i'll pretend i didn't see that."
*Athena went back inside to get some food out and the rest just sat down and chilled for the time being until Carmina came back.*
Carmina: "Alright i alerted the station of the red sky. Our nation will undergo lockdown just in case of anything to happen so yall should'nt worry of much."
Yuki: "Thanks sissy :)." *She hugged her of thanks and then went to sunbathe for a while.*
Traveler: "How were yall while i was gone?"
Mika: "Well for me it's self explanatory. Ok come on Ethan! Enough!"
Ethan: "Alright damn! You're not like what i expected..."
Ken: "I reached a new record on one of my games! I feel proud."
Traveler: "You gamed all night again!? Without me!?"
Ken: "I mean you weren't home! Could'nt do anything about it!"
Traveler: "Fair... Fair..." *That hurt Ken be serious.*
Carmina: "I just went on patrol duty. Worked the whole day with no rest. But im fine."
*Athena came back holding 6 maybe 7 plates full of food.*
Athena: "Food's here! Dig in! And eat everything please!"
Ken: **"Huh? Begging from you? That's new."**
*Everyone ate and had fun for a while until night set in and during sleeping the ground shook intensely scaring most of Duran City's population.*
