"Sis, we are family. you can take anything you like and I don't mean just a single dress. I'll pay." Lais said with smile.

She eyed a simple pink dress with a simple but nice belt and had lace and had leggings ad shoes. “ Sis what you think?” She asked. She seemed really drawn to it. It was cheaper and more simple.

"That's also nice" Lais replied and continued spiritually. "But you don't have to be shy today."
She opened her purse telling Mia that they are buying the dress Azshara had found but when Mia took the card she all of a sudden froze.

Azshara see as her face turned at first completely pale before flushing to bright red and her whole body was shaking and then she regained her composure and she flashed a smile to Lais.
"Certainly, Miss G. Please let me know if you or your sister need any kind of assistance."

She turned and made a hand sign to her co-worker who nodded and went to the cashier right away.

"What happened?" Gon's thoughts reached to the girls.
"That lady, she's quite well informed." Lais said "She recognized my royal identity by Oaken Co credit card."

She choose 3 formal outfit ps and a few very cheap everyday clothes. “ I hope that not to much sister.” She said sweetly. She found the girl actions weird. But just accepted it as she looked at Lias.

"Not at all" Lais smiled as Mia packed the shoppings to a bags and then handed the card back to Lais.
"Thank you for coming to our shop." Mia said to Azshara.

As she was turning around carrying the bag Azshara felt sudden surge of spiritual energy erupting. It's origin was unknown but her own body reacted to it instantly by resonating and next moment wave after wave of information about their surroundings was flooded to her giving a shake to her body.
Lais who was back towards the door jumped immediately few steps blocking Azshara's line of sight to the door. Just before her sight was obstructed Azshara was able to see large, over 20 people group that had gathered at doorway of the shop and in the middle of the group one person looked different than the others.

"Gon! what was that!?" Startled voice of Lais rang in the spiritual channel of the siblings.
"Mist Battalion stealth low rank Overseer 5 meters at the doorway." Came Gon's reply "Trai intercepted him but there are 3 others in close proximity. They probably noticed my ping and that their cover is blown. Get out of there and back to the car. Act normally."
"I didn't know Mist Battalion have Overseers." Lais said.
"Me neither. He hid his power so well, if Whada, I mean Azshara, wouldn't been there we had thought it normal guy." Gon Said
"Go past the group They are our people and give you cover. Trai will take care of rest of the Overseers meanwhile."

The shock effect of the spiritual wave ceased quickly and Azshara felt already herself back to normal.
"Sorry to scare you by that ping" Gon said to her privately. "That freak got way too close to you two. Mist Battalion is top secret assassin group of the Gov and they have no respect for civilians. We don't know who he was after but better to be safe than sorry."

She walked past and naturally walked to the car and quickly got in. Though it was hard to act normal. But she managed. She hated overseers and sighed and relaxed as she got in the car. She looked at gon. Clearly she was shaking and had quiet the scare in there. “ Im ready to go somewhere safe.” She told to gon mentally. She started humming as to calm down.

Azshara had to calm her self down for quite a while. Only now when she was back in the car she started to realize the full extent of the aura of the man who was at the door.
Man who was captured was a human, but was basically as creepy as an overseer. No he was more creepier. He felt like tormented soul, a sociopath and overseer in one body. He didn't had any genuine emotions, but was constantly thinking and observing his surroundings . Like overseer he was kinda like a machine but something in him was made even further. Constantly calculative, observing, void of empathy, and the bottomless determination to kill. And He possessed the same frightening spiritual power since he was overseer.
Azshara could only imagine with fear and disgust what Idra Government had done to this poor soul during his brainwashing.

Then she noticed that the emotionless wasn't entirely true. The man had emotions, sort of satisfaction. however the only form of satisfaction what this man had sought was from taking a life. Shiver ran through Azshara as she remembered the yearning to kill and extinguished sadness and anxiety for inability to do so.

"Wow. I never seen those guys aura in such detailed. this must be because your special talent ." Gon's thoughts reached to Azshara "Reminds me of the stories of Grim Reaper"

She looked at gon. “ What do you mean? Im confused? What are and what going on?” She asked calmly.

"I just discovered that your ability to sense people's aura is much higher than in general.

It's common knowledge that people emit at some level their emotions, thoughts and intentions but even among me'rah reading those is difficult if person is not your close friend or family. But you was able to sense that not only from human but hostile one. In same detail what me and my mentor shared our link. Sis your sensibility to auras is remarkable."

“ really? Cant you do it to?” She asked a bit confused. She looked sorely confused. “ but thanks?” She was not completely understanding. But she knew she was ready to get to a safe place.

"Not until I got reconnected with you" Gon said
"To rest of us Me'rah we can sense only briefly about other people." A mental image flashed on Azshara's mind of a random person. She was able to tell the person's gender and that he was bit unwell but all the detailed emotion and aura vibrations were gone. Just like she used to have before her birthday and her Me'rah skills awakening.
"What you are seeing is close to what I share with Lais, Trai and mom when they don't actively hide their aura. So your ability is really extraordinary"

They were soon driving again on a highway surrounded by countless of high-rise building each trying to look fancier than the others.
Then ORCA took a ramp off and headed wide avenue towards Golden Sun. Azshara had good time to admire the views of Blue zone.
The Casino was now very close when they had to stop a traffic jam. That moment Azshara spotted a large well maintained park ahead and big signs at entrance.

"Property of Dig'n Hole Corporation.

Member of international Corporate Association and owner of land and space.

Authorized by Gorestian Golden Court under Corporate law 30789 article 32.

ATTENTION!
By entering to the premises you are under legislations of Dig'n Hole Corporation.
Idran Law enforcement forces CANNOT protect you or your belongings here
Your General Insurances are not in effect while on the premises"

She nodded before noticing the sign. “ What the? What do they mean? I never heard of such names... law enforcement is not allowed here?” She asked. This was a bit over her pay grade. Millions of things swirling in her mind. From what to think to processing information. She felt dumb asking questions. honestly she was completely shocked at the blue district and everything.

"That's sort of a protest of Andrew Scraba." Gon said
"According to Goresian law each corporation can enforce their own laws and in that case Idran police or military have no business in the corporate soil... which pisses Andrew alot."

They were slowly approaching the vast green park when from reflection of sunlight Azshara realized that the sturdy wall bordering the park was actually bottom part of large force field bubble covering Golden Sun Casino and the park around it.

Around the great white casino there were total of 8 tall buildings with massive antennas pointing upwards.
"You noticed the towers?" SQUID asked behind her. "Around the Casino there are 8 high power Force field generators made in Trumbo. Golden Sun may be casino in the surface but I consider it as a fortress rivaling in power with Brochena."

"Not rivaling" Lais said. "Dad went to so extreme that he built this place able to withstand G5 orbital bombardment. And he openly advertises it by claiming that this is the most secure place in the whole planet."

"By the way Lais. Is it true what they say in the training camp?" Ray asked. "That there's some top secret group of agents training inside the casino trying to break its defenses?"

"It's true." Lais smiled. "It's live training and testing both offensive and defensive capabilities. My class was first in 9 years to actually manage to breach the security and complete the mission."

RAY and SQUID didn't said anything but Azshara was able to sense shivers running on their backs.

Finally was their time.
The actual entrance to park was in a grand archway building where the car entered a short metal plated tunnel.
ORCA stopped the car at the checkpoint front of the tunnel. Well he was about to stop but the light flashed green when he was still approaching the checkpoint and man signaled them to keep driving.

"They say that in case of emergency this tunnel is split to half and the barrier will then block the road" SQUID said.

The bright sunlight welcomed at that moment Azshara and next moment they were driving in beautiful park towards the lavish, white tree like casino.

“ what the?” She was absolutely shocked to the core. Gon would sense her full of interest and amazement. But the next was scared as she felt tiny and like she did not exist. Her mind came back to reality when they talked to her. So she was safe here. That eased her mind a little. But still her dad made this? It felt like a new world for her. A new song started to form in her head which happened when she felt overwhelmed or inspired and she was both right now.

She then started to hum a song as she kept looking out the window and watching as they got closer.

The van drive smoothly on the road to the lavish casino building.
The main entrance was built like being slightly under the main building among the roots of the tree. The van stopped right front of the door under the pentise which was made at leas half by the building itself.

Aside the normal casino staff Azsharas attention was drawn to a man wearing military uniform. Urdan Uniform just like her ... foster dad.
As they climbed out from the van the man started to approach them. Azshara had learned military ranks and identified him quickly as lieutenant colonel and on the nameplate was name Waltran.

"Good day" Said mr Waltran greeting the group.
"Sir!" Saluted COD and his team.
Im here to accompany you and our precious guests. He nodded his greeting towards Azshara and Gon.
"At present time the first lobby have 2 teams of hostile nature people present unaware of our presence. We go in in Turtle formation, full gear, and escort our guests to the main area. Questions?"
"No SIR!" COD said and received nod of approval from Waltran.
"Turtle Formation, Ray take the point!" Cod spoke his order and Ray sprang to the doors holding his rifle. Rest of the team took their rifles and formed tight curved line front of Azshara, Lais and Gon. Of the last two said, they stood on their sisters left and right side right next to her and together with Waltran walked in this tight packed formation to the door joining RAY.

She felt strange with the normally relaxed group now military like. She just followed her lead. Lucky her she changed in the store so now she was in a pink dress fit for the casino. Lucky her only knee length and it was simple and nice. Now she did not look like she was from her home town and presentable. She looked around and was a bit shocked at everything.

She asked gon mentally. “ What going on? Precious guests?” She asked confused. Though they could sense the awe she was in from what she saw.

"He means you." Gon said "Matt Waltran is undercover agent for both QP and our dad and commander of QP special ops teams here in Biitran. Im pretty sure Dad told him to join us to eliminate any bad luck chances on last steps for you coming home."

The sunlight was suddenly cut as 3 thick metal plates rise from the ground covering the sides and driveways of pentise entirely.

The fabulous twin door opened into a beautiful front lobby of Casino. It was beautiful piece of art showing the theme of forest and river having golden decorations everywhere. Azshara was sure she never in her life had or will see as magnificent lobby. The next she realized the people.

From the door there was formed and alley by crobas. And not just any crobas but 3.5 meter tall full body combat armored crobas carrying 4 meter tall tower shields. The crobas were so many and so close that they practically formed an alley of 4 meter tall shield wall fron the door past the lobby until to the door of the opposite side. Every croba were facing away from the alley their backs towards Azshara holding the shields on their left hand and large one handed power axe on their right, risen over their heads ready to strike. Each also wore a helmet so nobody was able to see their faces.

RAY leading the group passed between the two lines of Crobas walking peacefully but similar way ready very close surrounding Azshara and Gon until they reached the far side of the lobby.

Past the shield wall Azshara was able to hear peoples chatter and what sounded wondering what's going on.
"I think some big celebrity is coming to Casino."
"Someone who wishes to remain anonymous by his or her entrance."
"Whoever it is the person must be super rich to have management providing this kind of service."

"Gosh" Azshara heard Gregosh gasp when he see the crobas. "The lost Hexa tribe, Hillcaras"

The door front of them opened and Cods team moved sideways letting Azshara and Gon get in from the door first then Lais, Gregosh, mr Waltran and finally them.

As Azshara stepped in from this second door 4 people were standing front of them.

First was short black haired young man with pale slightly grayish skin who looked close to the age of Azshara and Gon. Second was bit older woman dressed as staff uniform of the Casino. Third was elegantly dressed woman who looked as her 60s and next to her a bald tanned man wearing a suit.

When Azshara see the older of the women she had no doubt of her because her face looked just like hers.

She was uneasy and felt more like a criminal then a celebrity. She followed though the cobras? What on? Now she shuddered as she wondered if her Cobra friend would be welcome or not. But she looked looked at her mom. “ you...are here?” She asked in shock. Tears formed in her eyes. “ I missed you so much... am...I dreaming?” She ran and hugged them. Though it did make her recall the explosion and seeing her family right before blacking out.

"Yes, we are.. finally... all here." The woman said hugging Azshara. "My baby, my dear sweet baby. We all felt like you were dead." Tears were also coming to her eyes.

"If it weren't for Gon we perhaps never could have found you. Welcome home."

“ So much has happened. I missed you all very much.. I thought you all where dead..” she cried. Hugging her family. “ You can rest easier. We found a key person who was there. I’m glad where together again.” She started to feel the links repair itself. She was filled with love and joy.
