Thanks to my sim training I had developed a sense funfights and how to deal with them. Perhaps it didn't o be said but unless you were a soldier during a serious war oh you had no reason to actually know how to handle a gunfight fluently. It was VERY fug different in my new reality, here everyone and their dog had a gun and itchy trigger fingers. The further in the bordernds you went the worse this became to the point some ps like Pandora sidered it strange if there wasn't the sound of explosions unfire.-

  Since I was bound for Pandora I naturally prepared to deal with that extremely hostile p.

  "Let me grab a quick shower first then we go." I told Cy after he asked his question.

  Fifteen mier I was freshly washed and ready to head to Athenas.

  "The old man told me your reason for wanting to go to Athenas but do you really think you'll find somethin on sirens there?" Cy asked casually as we walked out the manor towards his ship.

  I shrugged "I don't have my hopes up or anything but it's worth a shot if nothing else." I said holy.

  "Suppose yht, if I had crazy ass powers I'd probably want to know as much about them as I could too." he said nodding.

  "I won't find anything about my powers." I said pletely sure about that fact.

  "Why's that?" he asked curiously.

  "When I got my powers they came with a short message left by one of the things that created the sirens. Not a whole lot of details mind you but the thing made it clear that my powers were the only ohat never escaped. In other words there has never been another siren with my powers beyond the first who had been killed and sealed in the vault till I ope." I said calmly.

  "Damn kid that's some crazy stuff right there, valuable too but you of all people should uand that. Though got me w now, why go to Athenas if you know you'll not find anythin about your powers there?" Cy asked curiously as we boarded his ship.

  "I am hoping to find stuff oher sirens, I've looked over what I could on the eet but half that shit ecution or jectures with only a few actually useful s of information. One particurly juicy piece of information I found was that those monks on Athenas had a job offer t them a siren a while back, they took it down fourteen years ago. Care to take a guess what that means?" I asked with a grin.

  Cy stiffened and his eyes went wide "You think they got ohere?" he asked almost whispering the question.

  "Hmm, I think they either do or a siren paid them a visit to tell them what she thought of their "job". sidering the utter ck of deaths reported at that time though the former is most likely the case." I said with a grin.

  "Present pany excluded I've never met one of those sirens myself but I've heard stories from folk that have. If one of them wasn't happy with those monks there'd definitely be a lot more deaths involved." he said nodding in uanding.

  I took a seat on one of the crates that Cy always seemed to have in his ship for whatever reason after that as he went to start up the ship and take us to orbit so we could to Athenas. Apparently Cy hadn't actually ever been to the pce himself in his career as a smuggler which made sense sidering the monks wouldn't have any real need for his services.-

  Athenas was sidered a ral p which referred to how it was very melloeaceful in all ways. The wildlife teo be friendly or shy and the weather or living ditions were cool and calm normally. This was ironic as the monks on the peo call their order "the impending storm", obviously not a very good name sidering the p.-

  I watched the ship shoot up into the atmosphere of Eden six from the window and couldn't help but admire how beautiful the view was. A vast pitch bck background littered with an untable number ht pinpricks of light for as far as the eye could see. Cy punched in the coordinates of Athenas as the ship rumbled and it began to rotate in the void to face our destination as the nav-unit took trol of the ship. Then with a sudden lurg sensatioed out so fast the very stars blurred across the window and even vao be repced by new ones.-

  It only took a mere two minutes for us to arrive in the general viity of Athenas. Fun fact but did you know that the reason nobody was afraid of crashing into a p these speeds was because while actually moving faster than light the ship and by extensiohing in it was sort of temporarily on a separate but closely reted pne of existe was some super high level shit that gave me a headache trying to even look at much less uand but I at the least could grasp the rough gist of it.-

  When we came out of this space I got my first real look at Athenas and I found it eerily simir to earth at first gnce as it was a big ball of mostly water with tis and smaller isnds all around it while one side was dark and the other covered with the light of it's sun. Athenas didn't have a moon but you could see the clouds moving across it's atmosphere.

  'Hello beautiful.' I thought with a smile

  Cy took trol of the ship from here and piloted us to an open patch of he rgest moown on the p which was also where the siren queen once ruled from.

  Some of the locals clearly noticed us arriving as there was a a small group of monks approag the ship as we nded and cy opehe cargo doors.

  "My parts done from here kid so imma head out. Try not to get into too much trouble you hear?" Cy said before leaving me alone on the p.

  "Young man I am brother Heramis of the order of the impending storm, why have you e to Athenas?" one of the monks with thick blue robes and a bald head and gaunt face asked.

  "Schorly pursuits I suppose would be the closest answer I could give simply. The plicated answer is that I am here to find information on sirens of which I know you have." I said casually as I looked around.

  This pce was prised of white colored stone in various natural shapes and green grass with some flowers and peared to be blue leafed bonsai trees. The air was slightly breezy and the sunlight leasantly warm against me.

  "I see, unfortuhe archives are strictly reserved for members of the order and not open to the public." the monk said calmly.

  "That won't be a problem for me, I wasn't asking." I said calmly.

  The expression on the monks faces turned ugly "You would threaten us, a peaceful order, just to get what you want?" the monk asked angrily.

  "You misuand, see I'm going to go into that archive of yours but I won't need violeo do so, you'll see. Run along now, you no doubt have someoo warn or something right?" I asked casually.

  The monks quickly left for that exact reason no doubt but I fully inteo take my time walking to that monastery.

  The sery was simply too to enjoy after all. It was rather funny wheually reached the main gate to the moown and they had barred it with a red thick metal door and a white stone wall nearly twelve feet tall that they looked down mogly from the top of. I smirked at this and crouched down before jumping as hard as I could leaving the monks dumbfounded as I easily cleared the top of the wall and nded safely oher side.-

  "You'll o do better than that~" I teasingly called over my shoulder as I casually tinued my stroll towards the heart of the monastery.

  The citizens of the town were normal folks but looked at me in fear and with expressions like they were beggio leave. I wasn't the most skilled people reader but I could tell that they weren't afraid of me but rather something else that they thought I would cause to e after them.

  'Do these monks actually have a sirehat they are using as a guard dog?' I wondered seriously.

  "PSST, Hey mister!" a woman's voice called out from my left and I looked to see a middle aged looking brue woman with dark skin leaning out of a window halfway with her body semi-hidden behind a wooden window shutter.

  "Yes?" I asked ied in what she had to say.

  "You are the guy that's got the monks in a tizzy right? Listen they have a monster on their side that will get you if you keep defying them like this." she said scared.

  "Oh really? What sort of monster are we talking here?" i asked very ied.

  "One of those sirens you hear rumors about, the girls that kill you with their minds." she said with a fearful look as if she was afraid the siren would appear just because she spoke of it.

  "Now that you know I imagine you'll leave peacefully before we have to let our ward deal with you?" a monk said as he walked up arrogantly and the woman fearfully closed the shutters at his appearance.

  I ughed "As a matter of fao I don't think I will, now then I believe there are some tomes awaiting my perusal. Good day." I said casually as I walked right past the monk with a grin.

  Against anyone else perhaps knowing of a siren guarding this pce might be enough to get them to leave without a fight but as a siren myself? No ce. It was an iing strategy to say the least, using a siren to rule through fear when you took an oath of nonviolence yourself. For normal folks like that woman who saw sirens as monstrous things capable of horrific feats this might work but anywhere else I doubted it. You tried this shit on Eden six and the whole p might ugh in your face before they unloaded a shotgun into it.-

  It didn't take long before more monks started to show up all talking about how their siren was gonroy me and stuff and I realized something as a result, things weren't so fug simple. If it was then why hasn't this siren of theirs shown up yet? Either they didn't have one or the siren wasn't as uheir leash as they cim and refused to show up. My moneys on the sed fug option being the case.
