The next morning, Emotions were high as it was the time for departure of Eiser and Anastasia. The Kids, Anton and Val with tearful eyes and quivering lips, pleading looks at the one person who accepted them the most, The lachrymose Billy also crying like a baby while Marco and Jess controlling thier own yearnings to handle the rest of the group like some sort of Parents.
Steve, while giving an affectionate gaze towards the both parting ones, raised his fidgeting arms in the air pat on their heads as if giving them permission to leave, the gentle pat, the overlapping stripes of fabric was warm as so felt by Eiser and Ana and a layer of warm breeze running through thier bodies.
The Gentle pat brought tears to Ana's eyes while Eiser just gave a small smile.
"Take Care alright. Here take these with you". Said Steve while giving them a transponding device with server code 017 and a layout map of the entire country.
"Oh.. A transponding device this must be 017 while you guys here have 016." Replied Anastasia while Eiser wondered what that squared shaped device with an antenna was.
"You dont know what a transpoding device is? Huuuffff..... This thing right here is a transpoding device it works by catching signals from the Churches in every city. You can dial our server by these numbers and it will connect you to us but even this has limits. You must not take this near any execution site. You got that?". Steve explained to a wondering Eiser and as he explained Eiser's eyes lit up brightly and he started to play with the device.
Then suddenly Eiser bowed and thanked everyone deeply for all and everything that they had done for him. The Phantom troop was already impressed by his gratitude and already captivated by his kindness. Ana also went ahead and hugged Anton and Val and pat thier heads while making a promise to grow stronger with them.
Everyone said thier farewells thoroughly and emotionally and were finally ready to face new challenges. Eiser and Ana, wearing blue robes over thier commoners clothes, left the jungle and were headed towards the Fade City, where the Chained Dogs reigned supreme.
After the heartfelt departure of Ana and Eiser the Phantom Troop also said goodbyes to thier already broken hideout of 14 days and went ahead in the opposite direction towards a neighbouring country Fosch Bevite. Thier trip to Falu was not affective as their attack on the Chained Dogs of the Cut City failed and they were also on the reported list now. Thier current objective was to train harder grow stronger and gain thier own turf now as thier hands were in a serious deadlock now.

Three Days of walk went by, Ana taught Eiser to hunt, to build a camp and many little things of survival which infact showed that Eiser was a spoiled yet Kind breed who had never faced any real hardships of life as Ana or the Phantom Troop did, yet they reached in a new city in the mid evening. The sky was orange and pinkish amd gived off a gloomy vibe. It looked as if someone was murdered in the city that day and the sky was mourning that.
Eiser and Ana, with thier faces hidden walked down a street then suddenly some kid that looked the same age as Antonio and Val, wearing a dark brown robe over commoners clothes, running with all his might bumped into Ana and both fell down. Eiser leaned to help Ana get up and Ana just got a tiny look at his face and got shocked at seeing a familiar face. The kid hurriedly and unbothered, started to run again.

Tips:
- Eiser and Ana are currently in low lying are of Cut city.
- The transponding system of this world is one of the most advanced forms of systems in the world. So many do not have the use of it or even dont even know about it.
The Phantom Troop stole these devices from the Chained Dogs gang while thier raid on them in the Cut city.
