Chapter 5 - Rey’s Visit
Rey, Aiko’s childhood friend, has traveled several miles to the remote part of the country where Aiko lives, to deliver an important message. But this isn’t a message Aiko will want to hear, nor Gess her student, who secretly listens to them talk.
-
Aiko: Hello stranger, it's about time you came to visit me.
-
Rey: So, you do still live here. This isn’t exactly around the corner from the capitol.
Aiko: Just the way I like it. Well, don’t just stand out there looking lost, come in.

Aiko: Meet me out on the deck, I'll get you something to drink.

-
Aiko: Here ya go.
Rey: Thank you. I forgot how beautiful it was here. I can see why you'd rather live out here than the city.
Aiko: That's one of the reasons. That and I like my privacy. So, are you going to explain to me why you're wearing your defender suit way out here?
-
Rey: (sigh) You know why I'm here, you've had the visions like me. You know what it means. It's been 500 years since the last defenders failed. The selection has been made. You and I have been chosen, it's our turn, Aiko. I've come to get you.
Aiko: Did she send you?
Rey: Yes. The council says we're out of time.
-
Scene: For reasons of her own, Gess is now in a panic, and must find a way to travel with Aiko to the capitol. What she has seen depends on it.
-
Aiko: I just thought we would have more time.
Rey: I'll meet you out front.
Aiko: ‘Sigh’ Ok. I'll go get ready.
