Year: 217 CE - ??? CE

Chapter 1

Meanwhile in Red Army...

Tord lays in bed, looking at images of Paul and Patryk on his phone.

Tord says: "......"

While scrolling through his camera roll, Tord finds a strange picture. The image is of a newspaper with James Smith on it.

Tord says: "....Why do.. I have this...?"

Tord scrolls some more, it's another picture of a newspaper, this time the headline is about Luvamatrilia.

"Luvamatrilia leader is revealed to be a ghost. James Smith dies from angry mob", the headline states.

Tord says: "Ah... that incident.. It's been so long I forgot about it.."

"I wonder how.. Marcus is doing..."

"...."

"Wait."

"If Marcus is a ghost.. and he can speak to the living..."

"...."

"Paul.. Patryk..!"

Tord hops out of bed and quickly gets dressed.

He calls somebody on his phone.

Tord says: "Hello, yes this is Tord speaking. Could you get a boat ready for me? I'm going to go on a little.. trip."

...

...

...

In the snowy and icy shore of Luvamatrilia.. A medium sized Red Army boat arrives.

Tord hops out from it onto the ice, he almost slips.

Tord says: "Luvamatrilia. I never got to visit this place..."

In the distance, a big forest can be seen. Tord starts heading towards it.

Tord looks on dynamap.

Tord says: "The capital is not too far from here.. Hopefully Marcus lives there.."

Tord walks through the snowy forest.

...

...

...

A few hours later.. Tord has yet to find any signs of the village.

Tord says: "Where is it.. was dynamap wrong..?"

Tord sits down on a fallen log and sighs.

Suddenly, he feels something climb on his back.

Tord says: "!!!"

he turns his head and sees a bear cub.

Tord says: "Wha..."

The bear cub rolls off from his back and sits down on the log as well.

Tord says: "..Hey.. Do you know any nearby villages possibly?"

The small bear just looks at Tord with a derpy face.

Tord says: "...Oh. right. Not all animals can speak.."

"I wonder how those birds are doing."

"..."

Tord pulls out his phone and goes to his camera roll. He starts looking at images of Patryk and Paul.

Tord says: "...."

"..I should've never sent you both there..." He quietly tells himself.

From afar, Tord suddenly hears a strange noise.

Tord says: "..?"

He turns around, since that's where the noise came from.

In the distance he sees a giant bear.

Tord says: "..."

"Oh.. That's not good."

"Luckily I brought my backpa--"

"....."

"I... didn't... bring.. it.."

The bear starts running towards Tord.

Tord quickly gets up and starts to run away, but of course the bear is faster and starts to already catch up to him.

Tord says: "Okay Tord. You don't have your backpack with all your inventions. That's okay! You're a smart guy, you can.. figure something out!"

"..."

"Haha.. I can figure something out.. Right..?"

"...But.. Nothing is coming to mind.."

Tord turns his head and sees the bear is literally next to him. The bear tackles Tord. He falls to the ground.

Tord says: "Come on Tord.. Think.. Think.. Think.."

"Hvorfor kommer det ingenting til!? .."

As the bear readies itself for another attack, Tord notices a big stick next to him.

He picks up the stick and uses it to block the bear from biting him by putting it in its mouth.

A struggle begins.

Tord says: "Good job.. Tord.. Now you just have to figure out how to get out of this situation.."

Tord slowly gets  up from the ground.

Suddenly, the stick snaps in half.

Tord says: "SHOOT!"

The bear is obviously angry. Tord starts to back away from it slowly.

Tord says: "I can't die yet.. I might have just.. figured out how to get them back.."

Tord takes one step backwards, but doesn't feel any solid ground.

Tord says: "Wait--"

He falls into something and passes out.

...

...

...

A few [???] later...

"Hey... Hey. HEY!"

Tord wakes up.

Tord says: "HVOR ER JEG!?"

Stranger says: "Damn. You're alive."

Tord says: "What..?"

Tord looks up to see a strange middle-aged man with glasses.

Stranger says: "Are you an English speaking person."

Tord says: "What.. Uh.. Yes.. wait where am I?"

Tord looks around.

He sees a snowy village.

Stranger says: "You're in Poseshchayemyy."

Tord says: "..."

"How.. I thought.. I died?"

Stranger says: "Wait- Don't tell me you're another ghost."

Tord says: "I don't think I am.. Wait so were you the one that saved me from the bear?"

Stranger says: "what bear."

"I just found you laying here on the street and decided to see what's happening."

Tord says: "Okay.."

Tord gets up from the ground.

Tord says: "So.. It seems I've arrived at my destination."

Chapter 2

Tord looks around the town, and notices that.. there's literally no people here.

Tord says: "Geez.. This really is a ghost town.."

"Wait actually, where are the ghosts? I thought you could see them here?"

Stranger says: "Yeah, no. We can't actually see them."

"We can only feel their presence. Sometimes they mess with our things like knocking down a glass cup or somethin'."

"It's annoying."

Tord says: "..."

"But what about Marcus.. Your leader..? How is he able to communicate with the living?"

Stranger says: "Hell if I know."

Tord says: "....Oh.."

"Is there anybody in this town that can see ghosts?"

Stranger says: "Not that I know of. Why are you asking so many questions? What are you, a Luvakhian spy?"

Tord says: "Sorry.. I'll stop bothering you."

Stranger says: "Bye."

Tord walks around the empty town.

Tord says: "...So... I can't actually see them.. eh?"

"...Haha... I guess I came here for nothing.. I won't be able to see Paul and Patryk after all.."

"No.. Wait.. Maybe I should ask other people in this town if they know something.. If I can find any that is.."

Tord from the corner of his eye notices a wood shop. He decides to enter it.

Tord says: "Hello?"

He looks around the shop, and notices a bunch of little interesting items.

Tord says: "Huh.."

A lot of wood toys are on the shelves.

Cashier says: "Кто ты? "

Tord says: "Я не говорю по русски. Извините."

Cashier says: "Oh okay. So who are you?"

Tord says: "Just visiting."

"This is a nice shop..."

Cashier says: "Thanks. It's a family heirloom."

Tord says: "Do you know anything about the ghosts of Luvamatrilia?"

Cashier says: "Uhh.. I know that they're annoying."

"They keep knocking off all the items from the shelves."

Tord says: "Why?"

Cashier says: "I have no idea. They probably think it's funny or something."

Tord says: "Have you been able to see any?"

Cashier says: "No."

"Is this some sort of pop quiz?"

Tord says: "No I just--"

Cashier says: "Either buy something or get out."

Tord says: "..."

From behind the cashier, there is a shelf with a green amulet in a display case on it.

It grows a bright green, intriguing Tord.

Tord says: "..Could I have that?" Tord points to the amulet.

Cashier says: "Huh?"

"That's just for decoration."

Tord says: "...oh."

Cashier says: "But you can have it, if it gets you out of my store."

The cashier gives the green amulet to Tord.

Cashier says: "Bye bye."

Tord says: "Bye.."

Tord leaves the shop.

Tord looks at the amulet intently.

Tord says: "....."

Without a second thought, Tord decides to put it on.

Tord says: "Heh.. how nice--"

Tord looks up from the amulet and realizes the empty and depressing town before, was now filled with hundreds of different people.

Tord says: "WHAT THE!?"

Tord quickly takes off the amulet, and the people disappear.

Tord says: "........."

"What was.. that..?"

"..."

He puts it on again, and the people reappear.

Tord looks around, and notices that the people look a bit strange.. For whatever reason, they are all translucent.

Tord says: "Wait a minute.. is this--"

Marcus says: "TORD!!"

Tord says: "???"

Marcus (Leader of Luvamatrilia) appears from behind Tord.

Marcus says: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME TO VISIT!!"

Tord says: "...That voice.."

"Marcus...?"

Marcus says: "YEAH!"

"I've been waiting for you to come here for so long! I planned out an entire party for you!"

"Let's go celebrate it right now!"

Tord says: "Wait, Marcus-"

Marcus has already ran off, before Tord could say anything.

Tord says: "Sigh.. I guess I'll follow him."

Tord tries to get around the translucent people, who all seem to be looking at him with strange grins.

Tord thinks to himself: "I wonder.. Did this amulet give me the ability to see the undead..?"

"Interesting.. I wonder why.."

"..."

"Maybe.. There still is hope to see Paul and Patryk after all."
