[Nar point of view]

Dana, this girl about Liya's age is getting ready to fight. She's strong for someone her age, and what's more, just like her little sister, she's someone from Aru Village, so someone who can use all kinds of magic. I don't think she has any blessings unlike Diana, but since she's Diana's older sister, I'm sure she's as talented as well, as evidenced by the corpses of the Imperial soldiers around her, two of which were probably kept alive to gain information, but looking at their condition, death might be the better option. 

"Sorry for not introducing myself, I'm Nar and he's my brother Sas, we're special knights from Amleth and we received a report that..." [Nar]

"I said, how do you know my name? I don't need to know who you are" [Dana].

"Hot-tempered, unlike her little sister Diana" [Sas]

"DIANA! Why and how did you know her name and our relationship?" [Dana]

She takes her stance, ready to pounce at any moment. She's using a spear, a heavy one. This spear is really something special. As a weapons expert, I can tell at a glance that the spear is Gungnir, a legendary spear forged from the ashes of the World Tree, the same material as Diana's wand, given to her by the witch Merlin. Still, her temper

"Calm down. We're not here to fight you. Listen to what we have to say, and don't point your spear Gungnir at us" [Nar].

"Speak or else..." [Dana]

"Sheesh... You're hot-headed unlike our Diana, are you two really sisters..." [Nar]

"O U R DIANA!? What have you done to her!!!" [Dana]

She leap and thrust her spear at me. Fast. Strong. Precise. She's better at using weapon as compared to Diana. Of course, she's stronger given her age, but her magic application to Gungnir is pale as compared to Diana. Still, my sword, even when not forged through a legendary material, wouldn't lose, as I simply parry her spear and push her aside. Even when the space is limited due yo the trees and the ground is slippery, she quickly gain her foothold

"Strong... Nar is your name right, the same as that person that Miss Saga always mentioned" [Dana]

"Miss Saga! As in Khamisah! Have you met her! Where is she now!?" [Nar]

When I hear Khamisah's name, I instinctively approach her and ask her the question, putting my hand on her shoulder. She's a little surprised and quickly says

"Get your hand off me!" [Dana].

"Sigh... This is not going anywhere. Hey, wild girl, just listen to us. Diana, though immature, has a better attitude than yours. We have questions for you and you have questions for us, so it's only logical that we sit down and talk this through" [Sas].

She is angry with Sas for calling her a wild girl. The way she gets angry when she's called a wild girl is exactly how Diana would act. They are sisters alright. I laugh a little and

"Two fingers covering your mouth when you laugh, that's what Miss Saga would do" [Dana].

"Of course, she's like our older sister, and the way you get angry is almost like Diana" [Nar].

It looks like she's willing to listen, but this isn't the right place. I thought of going back to the dungeon and waiting for the special pass, but considering our distance, it's better to go back to the city first and go back to the dungeon. It's an easier route and we can take the two Imperial soldiers that are still alive for treatment and later for interrogation. Sas, as always with the same idea as me, already gives instructions to the local soldiers and they do as they are told. As for Dana

"I get separated from Miss Saga because of a bunch of weird goblins. I can't sense her but we promised to go to town, so she might already be there. I'll go as well with you" [Dana].

"Then we can look for her together" [Nar]

"She is strong. She will be fine. Let's just hurry and get to the city" [Dana]

"You really are short-tempered" [Sas] 

One of the soldiers marks the place on the map she brought with her, and we quickly descend the mountain. It's already late, and as soon as we enter the town, everyone is talking about when they're going to be treated by Saintess Rumia. They're aware that the false Hydra is causing amnesia among them, but they're not as panicked as I thought. It's almost the same as when the people of Amleth quickly forgot about the false Hydra heads falling from the sky. Maybe it's because the false Hydra is still alive and there are still people affected by it, hence the amnesia power still in place.

We thought of going to the castle or the church first, but, one of the opera house workers recognised me and mentioned that Saintess Rumia and the other are currently in the inn where Diana is staying, and since it's nearer, we went there first

When we enter the inn, everyone is really here. From Saintess Rumia to Diana's friend. They're all talking to each other. Some about helping Saintess Rumia treat the masses. Some are talking about finding more victims. Some even discuss the next plan. As soon as they notice us, all eyes turn to Dana.

"Diana!?" [Jean, Vita, Kara, Mara, Marianne, Adnan, Tio, Neloufa]

"No. I'm her older sister. Where is she? Where is Diana?" [Dana]

"!" [All]
