Chapter 15: Chapter 6. First encounter. (I)

"When I said that every corner has its own story... some of them are stories that are personal to me. Stories that I haven't told anyone. So, I have one corner that is very special to my heart. If you loved the view we saw from the bus, you will love the view from there. In addition, if we were lucky, we'll be able to see a Spirit's destruction from a slightly different angle. What do you say? Do you want to?" he asked happily. "Yes!" She jumped excitedly.

They walked through the alleys towards the walls surrounding Gillua. Through a breach in the wall, Loy led them out, and they continued walking on the green hills near the town, on the opposite side of Nash. After a steep walk, at the end of the hill, there was a bench. "We've arrived." Loy announced happily.

The bench had a perfect view of the open landscape. The green grass filled the entire horizon line. The sides of the horizon were covered with tall trees. Just by looking, one could see that this is a land untouched by human hands. The abundant grass waved in the free wind. The spectacle was breathtaking.

"You can't see that from the bus window." Loy smiled proudly, as the sun slowly descends in the background and the sky changes colors. "It's...amazing..." Lin said mesmerized. "I used to come here a lot as a kid and watch the sunset. Hope things will change for the better. When I was really young, these walls weren't here, and neither were the spirits. Back then, you could easily see the sunset from almost anywhere in town. Today, the bench and the view were left behind. At least for the rest of the townspeople." Loy smiled to himself as he placed his hand on the bench sentimentally.

"I've never seen such landscapes.. everything was always surrounded by buildings and rocks... it's beautiful..." Lin said fascinated. Right?" he asked rhetorically, as he looked at her and smiled. For a moment, they both looked at the sunset together.

"Now all that's left is to wait. But, not that we'll be waiting here for too long as the cold is going to intensify rapidly. If we're really lucky it will happen in the next few minutes. Look over there, at the person standing at the end of the tower." Loy pointed out. On the edge of the guard post, stood a man in his thirties.

"He scans with his binoculars every few minutes, to see if there's anything on the horizon. He has to do this all day and night. Most of the time, he won't find anything. Boring job huh?" Loy asked. "Yeah..." Lin answered. "Wait, so can he see us from there?" she asked.

"Technically, yes." he replied. "And isn't it dangerous for us to be seen by him? Wouldn't we get in trouble?" she asked. "Dangerous? No... there's really no restriction on exiting Gillua... it's not that the walls are here so that we won't leave. They're here so that spirits won't enter." he replied.

"And you think he'll see us here as he scans?" she asked. "If he's a professional, he probably will." he answered. Quickly. she smiled a feline and sly smile.

The sun had mostly gone down, and the visibility with it. The guard picked up his binoculars after a short rest. He began to scan the horizon. From the height of the position, he was able to see almost a complete 360, except for the second entrance of Gillua where there was another guard.

He scanned around, among the distant trees, in the long hills. When suddenly, he saw through the binoculars something moving in the tall grass, rattling the grass back and forth rapidly.

He looked at the spot, following it steadily. He zoomed in on the binoculars, but he couldn't see through the tall grass. He concentrated, zooming the binoculars closer and closer until he was able to see each individual leaf. Suddenly, he was startled as the object filled the lens of his binoculars. He dropped his binoculars on the floor with a cry of panic.

He quickly picked it up and changed the amount of zoom on it. He looked at it again, grunting in shame. "I can't believe it worked for them... stupid kids" he stammered as he held his head in his palm.

In his binoculars sight, Loy walks on all fours, with tree branches for his ears simulating deer antlers, chewing the tall, wild grass. "Excuse me, it's not polite to look at other people's plates." he said with grass in his mouth as he acts embarrassed.

But suddenly, he noticed that there was animal dung lying right below the grass he was chewing. He was startled as he spit out the grass intensely.

Seeing the poop, Lin started rolling on the floor laughing.

"Did you see how scared he was?!" Loy shouted with great excitement as he spits pieces of grass out of his mouth trying to ignore what just happened. With immense mental strength, trying to block all of his taste senses, but in vain.

Looking at Lin laughing, he was thrilled. He can't remember ever getting to spend time like this. "It was amazing!" he called out loud. "Ah really? You enjoyed the taste?" she continued to laugh as she wiped her tears. "Ah! No! I didn't mean that that was amazing! You know what I meant-" he argued back when suddenly he yelled - "There! Look!".

In the distance, a doll hovers a few hundred meters away from them. The doll was all white, except for a black dot at the end of its head.
