(Outside the shelter, the city is full of chaos and destruction as the armies of the two kingdoms fought against each other. Emili hides in the shadows as she wanders around the torn-up city)
Emili: (Looks around) Dan, where are you...
Kora: (Chases after Emili) *Whispers* Emili, what are you doing? We have to get back!
Emili: (Ignores) I have to find him, I have to confirm that he's okay.
Kora thoughts: Him...? Who is Emili talking about? It seems that she's so into finding the person that she isn't aware of me speaking...
(Emili looks around for a while. Then, shaking her head, she takes a small run closer to where the soldiers are fighting)
Kora: Wait-- No, Emili! You really shouldn't get any closer--
Emili: *Worry* Where is he... Where are you Dan? You must be alright, you can't be hurt...
Emili: (Murmurs with herself) No, it's fine Emili. Prince Loki is here, everything will be fine. His highness will protect the soldiers, that includes Dan.
Emili: But... I'll just take one peek. Just one small peek, after seeing he is okay I will immediately get back to the shelter. Right, I'll do that.
Kora thoughts: She's completely into her own thoughts... I have to get her back.
Kora: Emili... Who are you trying to find? I'll find him for you, but you have to get back to the shelter. Ken is still there waiting for you, what if he finds you missing? He'll be so worried.
Emili: I know, I know. I'm just going to take a peek and I will return.
Kora: Take a peek? Of what--
Emili: (Interrupts) There! There he is! My Dan!
(Kora looks over to where Emili is pointing)
Emili: (Smiles with relief): Thank goodness he's okay.
Kora thoughts: From where she is pointing I can only see a bunch of soldiers fighting each other, it's such a mess I can't even recognize who's on which side but... As long as Emili is satisfied.
Kora: Uh, great! Now that you've found the person and he's all fine, let's head back then--
Kora thoughts: Wait... One of the soldiers is looking here...
(The soldier stares straightly at Emili and Kora. Around his feet are full of corpses that are killed by the man, and for a second Kora could not recognize if the soldier was part of this kingdom or the enemy kingdom)
Soldier: Ah... Look at what I've found here. (Pulling sword as he walks towards Emili and Kora) It's the Askalandra citizens.
Kora thoughts: No... that is definitely not a soldier from here! We have to run!
Kora: Emili! Hurry, run!
(Kora pulls on to Emili and attempts to drag her, yet as if frozen, Emili stands straight and still, just like when the explosion first occurred. She stares back at the soldier who is walking towards them and is unable to move a muscle)
Kora: (Pulls Emili in full strength) --Please Emili, run!! It's not the time to be in shock! You will get killed! We will get killed!!
Kora thoughts: I can't move her a bit! My strengths are too weak to drag her! But in this state, she can't even listen to a word I'm saying! This is bad, this is really bad... I can't get killed here, I have to go back to the hospital and find mother, but I can't just leave Emili here either!
Soldier: Hah, not even going to try to run? But you wouldn't be able to escape from me even if you did.
Soldier: (Hateful look) You disgusting Askaladrians. Pathetic, weak, naive. Did you think you could defeat us after we lost the support from the Fairy Kingdom? That you can now rise on top of us? What a bunch of fools. We can tear you apart even without those forest peasants.
Soldier: (Smiles) Look how afraid you both are. Cowards, just like always. You are no match for us, never before, and never in the future. (Raises sword)
Emili: (Shivers in fear) No... No... Help! Dan!! (Screams) FATHER!!!
Kora: Emili--!
(Emili shuts her eyes instantly, waiting for the moment of death to come, and hoping for a sudden miracle to save her life. As if hope did come to her, she does not feel an inch of pain. Instead, she felt the hot and sticky liquid with an unfamiliar smell of iron splashed onto her, following the screams of another girl)
Emili: (Shocked) K-Kora!?
Kora: (Faints)
(The soldier lets out a laugh as Kora falls into the hands of Emili. He picks up his sword and is about to finish them up when he feels a sudden deadly pain from his back)
Loki: (Slays the soldier) Normal citizens should have been in the shelter. (Takes a look at Emili) I'm afraid I can't keep this a secret from your father, Emili.
Emili: Prince Loki...I mean, Your highness. I-I'm so sorry, I was just so worried about Dan--
Loki: (Interrupts) This isn't acceptable. Next time I find you getting yourself in danger, I will have to consider Dan's position.
Emili: --No! Please, I promise this won't happen again.
Emili: (Holds Kora) And please, please your highness, save this girl! It's all my fault... everything is all my fault, but Dan and Kora are innocent! I will receive any punishment but please spare Dan and save Kora!
Loki: (Slashes another enemy) Just bring her back to the shelter first, the medics will treat her. You will receive your punishment from your father.
Emili: (Bows shakingly) Thank you, Your Highness...!
(Emili rushes back to the shelter, carrying Kora)
