The carriage marched on with Isuzu and the colonials on board. The sun had finally risen, but there was a problem."Didn't I tell the scouts to regroup with us every thirty minutes?""It could be something worse ma'am." he answered."What do you mean?" asked Iowa. Then the soldier pointed at the road ahead,"Who goes there?!" shouted the driver upon seeing the running men."It's us, the scouts!" the men shouted back.The soldiers instantly recognised them, calling out their names as they asked what happened."Hop in, you two!" Iowa told them. The men on the back pulled them in as they scaled through the carriage."Our horses, ma'am! They mysteriously ran ahead of the path, we're sorry!" one of the scouts explained."It must be the enemy", Iowa muttered."Wait so they could control animals?!" one of the soldiers asked."From what I have observed, yes", Iowa answered."An angel?" the other scout asked."I think Isuzu here is a huge deal for us both South British and whoever they are. I s
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Chapter 6: Reinforcements
"Where're our reinforcements?!" shouted one of Iowa's soldiers as they fought through the enemy onslaught."Just shut up and keep firing!" Iowa shouted back as she reloaded her weapon and went straight back to firing.The soldiers were well trained, managing to take down their enemies in only one or two shots, but due to the enemies' overwhelming numbers. It meant that they're the ones who'll be out of bullets first.The skirmish was at its peak. Bullets flew from all sides, and as the sun raged on with its heat, it started to exhaust both sides.Isuzu watched from the back. Hearing the echoes of gunshots and whistling bullets, sometimes she even had to hide behind a tree as stray bullets landed near her."You should keep your head down, lest they see you here." told one of the scouts to Isuzu."Oh, right, sorry!" apologised Isuzu."It's odd seeing the captain like that no?" said the other scout."Yeah, ever since she heard about the mission about Iyala. She had been pretty blue ever s
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Chapter 7: Colonials
"In the name of the British crown, with this, I declare this land be the new addition to her vast empire, The Colony of South Britain in the continent of Terra Australis".'South Britain, Terra Australis.'-Post-captain Sir Jonathan Jones, Royal Navy, HMS Ripple.Isuzu sat beside Iowa inside the carriage. As the night started to engulf the continent, lamp streetlights slowly took the place of sunlight, spanning across the colony in perfect symmetry with the smooth stone road. Workers walked home to each of their houses where their families waited. The horses of the vendors trotted away as they took their goods with them. Isuzu witnessed the progress the colony has made with its massive buildings and technology she thought ahead of its time."It's still a few hours before we get to the capital. You should get some rest." Iowa said as Isuzu looked at the apartments. "What am I going to do here?" asked Isuzu, "Since I'm a 'target' or something, am I going to get locked up somewhere safe
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Chapter 8: A New Life
Everyone only had a few hours of sleep before the sun started to rise again. Isuzu slowly got up on her bed as she woke up around her usual time. She looked at the wall clock on the side to look at the time. "6 o'clock," Isuzu whispered as she yawned while stretching her arms. She noticed something beside her, a large bag and a suitcase with a name-tag. She stepped out of her bed and approached the luggage. The name tag said, "To Ms Isuzu Harukawa." This regained her senses immediately. She opened the bag to see a new fresh set of clothes, some for everyday life and others for parties or balls. "Wait, these are all mine?" she asked herself and then looked back at the clock. "Oh no, Iowa!" she exclaimed. She rushed over to the window, and as she put aside the curtains, she shouted. "Iowa, wake up!" the bright light of the sun fell upon Iowa's closed eyes, instantly bolting her out of her bed."W-what?!" Yelled Iowa, half-asleep. "The general might be calling us anytime soon, we
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Chapter 9: Purpose
Isuzu bowed down like it was her last in front of the South British general. Desperately wanting for at least, just once, be able to say goodbye to what is left of her family.Iowa and Celeste waited anxiously for the general's response.Celeste held her cup of tea closer to her chest as the air started to feel heavy. Iowa's heartbeat slowly started to pick up the pace. At the same time, Isuzu clenched her fist as she began to feel her mind throbbing just like her unruly heart.Her lips quivered as she started to feel the ice-cold sweat trickle down her face.The general, Matilda, watched as Isuzu pleaded and gently called her on her first name,"Isuzu, look at me." softly said the general.Isuzu slowly raised her head as she saw the South British-Australian face of the general, her blue eyes and crimson red lips."You're not a prisoner here Isuzu, but I suggest we be cautious with what we do, OK?""What do you mean?" asked Isuzu."Well," the general then leaned back on her chair, lett
Terra Australis: Ethereal Secret Chapter 10: A Misfired Prelude
An hour has passed in South Britain. The general was writing in the pages of a book as the silence of the room engulfed her.She could only hear the sounds of the tip of her fountain pen rubbing against the manila paper, the insects outside the room, and the ticking of her grandfather's clock.As she wrote continuously, she started to feel the ticking of the clock become louder as she kept on writing.She then started to recall vast memories, but then as it got more severe, she suddenly raised her head to the sound of someone opening the door.Caught in the moment, Matilda slipped, "Sonia?"Matilda took a second to get back up. She blinked her eye to see a soldier saluting her."Ma'am," he said before dropping his salute, "General d' Armee Camille Chevrolet of French Arctica wishes to discuss something with you immediately.""Oh," Matilda took a while to realise, "Where's he now?""In the lobby, waiting. General Camille said it's very urgent and mustn't be announced in public." answere

“Right, that’s the last of them!” Shouted Iowa as she carried her last case into the carriage. Isuzu climbed in, taking all the clothes and essential items she was given. Iowa hoisted herself up and sat beside Isuzu as Celeste approached the two, “All set?” She asked. The two nodded as they hugged some of the luggage. Celeste nodded and approached the driver’s seat. She sat down and drove away.The gates opened before them as the guards saluted Iowa as soon as they noticed she was inside the carriage. Iowa saluted back they passed through the black iron gates with the South British coat of arms engraved in the middle of them.They exited the building and turned right. For the first time, Isuzu has seen what capital looks like. She looked to her right to see huddles of houses made with brick complete with balconies and windows for every room and to her right were tall black fences that separated the main government building from the surrounding places and shops. Beyond those fences
