Recruitment, Convincing the Group of Survivors of Aklan

Day 239 - 12:05 AM - Secret Realm, Mount Madia-as, Panay Mountain Range, Province of Aklan, Island of Panay

Outside the vicinity of the sleeping [Pure Spirit Tree]. Right at the location where the [Mini Cube] landed.

Mark's group gathered, waiting for Ilia to return.

They were outside the vicinity of the [Pure Spirit Tree] because it would not be nice if they waited under this realm's Sacred Tree. After all, unlike Mark's group, the people they were waiting for were not allowed to be under the Sacred Tree's veil.

Even Mark was not a distasteful person to deny and defile others' faith and culture. And even if the people in question were not humans, Mark would still respect it.

Of course, Mark had no respect to spare towards enemies.

Ilia was not slow with her task. Before Mark and the rest could properly settle down to wait, she was already on the way back, with Bella and Donna leading the group following behind her.
