The Whole Western Side

Ailwin walked towards the tent where Mikaela is working. It was silent and empty when he entered. Calling out her name, he waited for an answer but got no reply.

Walking further inside, he noticed that the fire has gone out and the door to the ship is open. 

Eager to see what is inside, he walked up the ramp. Smaller than their air carriers but bigger than their shuttles, Ailwin was amazing at how similar their ships are even though he knew he shouldn't be. After all, most of the technology they are using today had been developed by the Umuris Empire years ago.

"Mikaela?"

When he reached the helm of the ship where the navigation controls are, he saw Mika sitting silently in a seat staring at a screen.

"Mikaela…" He placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Ahh!" Mika turned around ready to strike out at her would-be attacker. 

"Ailwin?" She stopped mid-way into her punch when she recognized his face.
