[i]Location: Lingayen, Road to Lingayen Beach[/i]
[i]Interactions:[/i] [@Letter Bee], [@SkyHresvelg] and [@Vergil]
[hr]
[i]The voyage lasted for days. The route they had to take to get to Lingayen was absurdly long and rigid. With the aerospace around the city becoming hostile, planes and helicopters were unoptimized as travelling options because of the bombardment risks. The idea was to deliver him there, alive and well. The earthly route had to be the safest option, out of all alternatives.[/i]

"We're reaching the destination Lord Regil. We are going to rendezvous with Lady Regina and her forces soon enough." [i]The driver spoke to the young man.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"Good. I just hope the days we took getting here weren't wasted and that there's an army for us to meet."[/color] [i]He responded.[/i]

[i]Regil Meitner. This was going to be his first mission, his first war. By now, all that he had was training alongside his mother, but never put his power to practical use. His lack of experience made him wonder what his sister wanted when she sent him a letter, calling for his help. He somehow feared the worst, even though it was Regina. She had been away for years in military service, and never once called for help. That's why, when looking at the letter, he couldn't help but feel worried.[/i]

[hider=Regina's Letter to Regil][i][color=bc8dbf]To my brother Regil...

As you may have heard from our father, the war has taken a huge step toward utter chaos and destruction. Even though I wish to admit we have everything under control, it'd be a lie. The Chinese Army is advancing nonstop, wreaking havoc with each step they take. Innocents are dying, submitted to utter poverty and ruination, having their lives destroyed as the time passes and no solution arrives.

However, we have organized a special, yet makeshift unit to try and counter their advance. Our sole objective is to trample through their units and win. But our forces aren't nearly enough to combat those crazed monsters. Thus, we need every single force that can make a difference.

And I need you.

I must digress though, this is not an invitation where you have the choice to refuse. I am summoning you to take post with the unit currently located at the Lingayen Gulf, Philippines. The exact coordinations are in this letter. You must travel through the sea, stop in a distant coastal town, and continue the voyage through the road. I've already prepared the vehicle that will take you over here, so all that you have to do is arrange a way to get to the coastal town.

I repeat: you cannot refuse. You're going to war Regil, so prepare yourself.

I won't guarantee that I'll be able to meet you so you must procure the currently leading soldier in the unit. Show him this letter and they'll know exactly who you are, and why you are there.

Until then.

Salutations,

[b]Regina Meitner[/b][/color][/i][/hider]

[color=8493ca](Regina... Sister... please be there, if only for a second. Just seeing you will be enough for me.)[/color] [i] Regil wished, in silence.[/i]

"Cast whatever worry you have aside, milord. You won't have time to think about frivolous things and personal emotions once you arrive." [i]The driver spoke.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"I know, you don't have to remind me-"[/color] [i]Regil spoke, before being interrupted.[/i]

"That was the message that Lady Regina wanted me to pass, in case you are unable to meet her." [i]The driver finished.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"Oh, right. It sounds like her after all."[/color] [i]Regil said.[/i]

"But I suggest you reconsider what she said." [i]The driver commented.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"What do you mean?"[/color] [i]He asked.[/i]

"Your comrades-in-arms are more than just soldiers walking alongside you. They are your companions, the people you'll be seeing day and night. Don't forget your humanity, milord. Use it, create and cherish these connections. They are and will be fundamental for your campaign, and for your life after it." [i]The driver said, with a slight smile.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"... I shall take it into consideration. And... thank you."[/color] [i]Regil answered, with another smile.[/i]

[i]Soon, the beach was able to be seen through the window. And there, people, tents, and military vehicles were stationed. There were no tourists, no beach chairs, and even the sea was empty of cheerful people. It was a barren land, now serving only as a battlefield, both the sand and the water, as only soldiers, steeled with the instinct to fight, stood there.[/i]

"Lingayen Gulf. We have arrived. Lord Regil, I pray for your success." [i]The driver spoke.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"Thank you. Godspeed and go to safety."[/color] [i]Regil spoke.[/i]

[i]The driver gave him a single nod and left at once. Regil looked at the army standing there, trying to look for his sister. However, he couldn't find her, much to his dismay. What he could see was the massive ships out and about, with the battle already ravaging waves left and right.[/i]

[color=8493ca](So... this is war. What a... horrible view. I hope everyone in this city is sheltered away from this.)[/color]

[i]Still, he couldn't stand there and do nothing. He walked forward, toward three people, and asked them for the commanding officer.[/i]

[color=8493ca]"Excuse me, but can you please inform me  who is the commanding officer of this unit? I'm a soldier enlisted by Regina Meitner and I'm supposed to be stationed here."[/color] [i]He asked.[/i]
