II

                                    

                                          

(Nighttime, Fortified City of Dura. Amanda Von Schabbs POV)
                          
I was standing up upon the walls of the city. Since me and my sister are free we were given free reign about how we wanted to go about things in our time here in Pizzaro's city. He had recently given us a place to stay at, mainly in the form of a small and humble abode from within the city walls, or should I say... A run-down apartment building that no one else wants to live in, it was like we were being demoted all of a sudden... I mean I know that we were "commoners" to him, but that still doesn't mean that we get to have to live in the lowest levels of society right?
                          
But there was nothing that could be done now... For now and my sister were free to do whatever we wanted to do and right now that involved walking by the walls with the rest of Pizzaro's men, all of whom kept a vigilent outlook upon their duties of watching the walls.
                          
Pizzaro was scheduled to join us shortly and so I waited... Because unlike the others I've met so far he seems to be the only one who is capable of even bothering to listen to my problem, say for King Millomos.
                          
I looked out upon the fields and there with a pair of binoculars I had salvaged in the ship that we had crashed into this place... I noticed that as I examined the fields ahead that the soldiers upon the walls looked at my little device with curiosity as they have never seen such a fine looking device for observation before, say for a few single eyes telescopes for their use upon the walls and towers.
                          
As I looked out upon the battlefield, I could see what Pizzaro meant when he said he was trying his best to hold out for as long as possible.
The last Lackmed assaults got them nearly to the walls and some even managed to climb up and engage in deadly melee combat as a result... But the fields were littered with untold numbers of dead Lackmed soldiers that I couldn't even recognise the cause of death as hundreads upon hundreads were simply charred corpses while the rest were killed ftom range by the archers upon the walls..
                          
Just than, Octavia walked up towards me and she said
"I think it's safe to say this Sister... We aren't in our world anymore that's for damn sure." 
                          
"Yeah... I can safely say this isn't our world as well..." I said to her 
"I've tried asking all of the soldiers here on the  walls about what they know about... The Kovenant, the Red Scarves, the Deathmacht... They knew nothing and instead ask me those very sake questions Octavia, they don't know, and that means if they don't know than that means this isn't our world anymore." I said.
                          
I than turned back to look at Octavia and there I leaned againts one of the parapets being I crossed my arms and said
"That means that... That 'thing' that got us here was somekind of gateway that led us here, a completely different world and with a completely different set of people... Mythra, I believe they called this planet of theirs."
                          
Octavia than looked over to me and there she gave me something which I hadn't had in a long while
"Come here my dear sister..."
                          
Octavia than gave me a nice warm hug, something which was very much welcomed now in this day and age. Eversince Octavia has become a Septimian, she had never given me a hug, nor had she given me any kind of attention, I haven't recieved any kind of love from her merely because I was of a different faith... I thought it would remain that way as well, but I'm the end and in the grand scheme of things, nothing could ever hope to break the connection two sisters have.
                          
As Octavia gave me a hug, I could feel her arms wrapping around my weist and Octavia wasn't going to stop here either. It was like she didn't want to let go, infact her embrace was only tightening around me like a peace of rope. 
                          
"I'm sorry..." Octavia said
"I'm sorry for making you feel like your an outsider to me."
                          
"Octavia?" I said with confusion in my voice
"Lil'sis, what are you talking about? I never felt like I was an outsider."
