The two of you rush through the streets that are now busy with people milling about in panic, soon reaching the two-storied "Konai's Clothing" shop.
There are several chirop inside, packing some equipment from the looks of it, before one of them turns to face the window. Ommel.
She recognizes the two of you and starts jumping up and down waving excitedly before rushing out of the door and embracing Tabi, followed by the rest of her family.
Ommel: "Tabi! You're back! And still alive!"
???: "We've missed you so much! You should've at least waited to see us when you stopped by to see Ommel!"
???: "Why did you have to be a heroine? We would've been fine if you were just a magic geek."
The entire family hugs your chirop for almost a full minute, crying. They slowly break away as they regain their composure.
It looks like she has a mother, father, and three sisters (including Ommel).
Tabi: "Okay, this is going to sound weird, but we have a plan to keep you all safe."
She looks to you for a moment before turning back to them.
Tabi: "We're going to keep you safe inside a miniature world. A witch queen core."
The family gives her a blank look. ________________

The witchling heads off to the east, the last witch you see.

Tuhota: "Eeh. I'm just hungry all the time."
It looks like both spirits are bound, but to different parts. One seems to be bound to the outer region of her body, and one on the inner. The one on the inner region seems small and faint, as if missing some parts, while the outer isn't like anything you've seen before. It's not a strange ambient entity like Faren, more like an entity like Grant, but not human or lupus.
You don't think you've gotten a good look at a chirop spirit before, but you doubt that they'd be this different.

Kura: "A leviathan appeared out of a mountain, and I think it started attacking the thing that rose out of the ground where the watchtower was. Teleiat's going through an evacuation, getting everyone to the shelters, but we are going head west while we still can."
Rauha: "Most leviathans are highly territorial. Anything they see as opposition is destroyed. Cities, large towns, shelters. The only safety is distance."
Kura: "Damn, I think that's all the suit's motors can take."
Rauha: "Have you used the briefcase yet?"
Kura: "Already full."
She lifts up an ornate briefcase for the armored suit to see. Black leather with gold furnishings. A series of dials are set in a panel near the handle.
Kura: "The most valuable artifacts are in here. And all the old weapons and armor, too. Those are always the most popular, they'd be great for reviving the museum if we have to rebuild."

Null: "... Is it headed this way? What's it doing?"
Lucida: We should get to the Heartstone facility first. It looked like something had the leviathan distracted, that's more than what we'll ever be able to do against that thing. If we try to fight it and fail, those girls at the Heartstone facility will still be there when the leviathan gets to them, and they won't be able to run. We need to at least free them before taking on that monster.

You continue running as the ground trembles from the leviathan's movements, entering the forest path. There are numerous chirop mages on the road, almost all of them unharmed, moving towards Teleiat with you and Tabi.

Okay so what should be doing next? We just wait for longer? I'm feeling better now, so I'm not a complete burden."
Blue Mage: "We're waiting for our reinforcements in the form of Lucida, but we could probably check out the ruins in the meantime. Apparently the new plan is to wreck the outer buildings, which are guard stations, and release all the test subjects - the girls - from four large boarding-school-like buildings. Preserve the inner buildings for evidence, those contain offices and machinery. Secure the facility grounds until further orders."
Soon enough, a group emerges behind the hills from the south. Lucida, a blue mage, a small girl, and a blonde teenage girl.
Blue Mage: ”Awesome, reinforcements are here. So what’s the plan?” ____________________

>Two spirits? how does that? >Are they both bound to her or is one floating?
"Don't think I've ever met someone who eats as much as you."
Tuhota: "Eeh. I'm just hungry all the time."
It looks like both spirits are bound, but to different parts. One seems to be bound to the outer region of her body, and one on the inner. The one on the inner region seems small and faint, as if missing some parts, while the outer isn't like anything you've seen before. It's not a strange ambient entity like Faren, more like an entity like Grant, but not human or lupus.
You don't think you've gotten a good look at a chirop spirit before, but you doubt that they'd be this different.
"Well, think I'm gonna get some rest too."
Tuhota: ”Okay.”
You head back up stairs and to your room, closing the door after entering.
The lights are off, but there’s some light from the street lamps outside trickling in.
Miimas seems to have finished bathing, so the house is quiet. ____________________

"Ah, Rauha! I was coming to make sure you were okay... Seems you've had a little bit of an upgrade. Glad to see you're safe as well, Kura. What happened after I left?"
Kura: "A leviathan appeared out of a mountain, and I think it started attacking the thing that rose out of the ground where the watchtower was. Teleiat's going through an evacuation, getting everyone to the shelters, but we are going head west while we still can."
Rauha: "Most leviathans are highly territorial. Anything they see as opposition is destroyed. Cities, large towns, shelters. The only safety is distance."
Kura: "Damn, I think that's all the suit's motors can take."
Rauha: "Have you used the briefcase yet?"
Kura: "Already full."
She lifts up an ornate briefcase for the armored suit to see. Black leather with gold furnishings. A series of dials are set in a panel near the handle.
Kura: "The most valuable artifacts are in here. And all the old weapons and armor, too. Those are always the most popular, they'd be great for reviving the museum if we have to rebuild."
CrazyMLC wrote:
"I wouldn't mind helping somehow if you need me to, but do you know where the prisoners are being kept, or if they're being moved to the shelter as well? I need to go check on someone."
Kura: "Not sure if they're being moved, but the prison is in the center ring of the city, the large building on the east side. Lots of anti-magic chambers. I'm sure they have some sort of plan for dealing with them."
You store some mana.
"Thank you, I'll have to go and check on them in a bit, then.
What's the briefcase all about? And what kind of armor are you in, Rauha?"
Rauha: ”This is an old experimental power suit. Not too much historical value and isn’t agile enough for combat, but works fine for moving loads.”
Kura: ”The briefcase is a bit more valuable. Well, a lot more. Built by a master constructor long ago, it has space alteration components that give it the storage capacity of a large room. If you sold this to the right buyer, you could use the money to start a brand new town, complete with buildings and residents.
I’d normally be hesitant to use something so valuable, but the self-repair mechanism is still active, so there’s not really any issue of it being damaged.” ____________________
