Otoko appeared on the horizon by the time the transmission ended.The wind whistled off his mech as he homed in on his destination. Izen arrived in Otoko in the next few minutes. Looking down at Otoko, anyone could say that it's beauty was unmatched. The scenery was amazing. Lush trees, sparkling crystal blue water, and a few bustling towns located in the center of the beauty. Izen headed to the closest town and landed at the outskirts of it. He looked around for a landmark and saw a statue of a two-headed python. Any recognition of this would tell people they were in Python Pass. Izen took note of the statue and climbed out of his mech,leaving it behind. The mech most likely wouldn't be used in town. Izen walked along a dirt path that connected to many of the roads leading into town. Once Izen arrived in town he immediately noticed that everyone was ill. They crowded the roads,limping to and fro. Some were sitting on the ground outside of ruined beat-down houses.Izen stood puzzled for a moment.How are they so ill when everything is so perfect around them. He walked along Tae Rd. and ended up stopped by a crowd of people.
"Please help us."
"What happened to you people?"
"Lord Viran has branded us as his money slaves. We do as he wants us to do. We have no more money. We have no food, well except for the cantina he leaves open to deal with his personal pleasures."
"Where is Lord Viran?"
"We can`t say.He's everywhere, always listening in."
"How can I help you people when you are keeping secrets from me."
A small woman hollered from the crowd.
"Just tell the man already. Lord Viran is--"
Before she could finish, soldiers ran out into the open and grabbed her.
"Get your hands off of me."
The lady struggled and cracked a soldier in the face. The soldier threw her to her knees and pulled a gun on her, shooting her in the head.
