SCP-4902 The Gate (Scp Foundation Mythos x Gate - Jietai Kare no Chi nite, Kaku)

Crisp morning sun fell onto their skin, the air cool and soothing while the forest stirred to life. The rustling of bushes and leaves with the occasional sound of birds chirping. But they don't have the luxury to enjoy the relaxing scene and sounds, they have a village to evacuate and safe keep.

Lambda 3-4 and Lambda 3-5 hopped back out of their vehicles, getting their boots back dirty on the muddy ground road, and immediately got to work. The two squads help haul heavy cargo onto the back of wagons, and those that are loaded up are brought onto the road, creating a line of wheels and white cloth with the neighing of horses.

Forming a long caravan, the vehicles of the two squads are split up. The APC in the middle of the line, creating a strong defense in case anything tries to pierce the center. Lambda 3-4's Humvee will be leading the pack by staying at the very front of the convoy while Lambda 3-5's Humvee stays at the back.

The once quiet and peaceful village is now riled up with shouts and the tapping of boots and shoes on wet ground, but this evacuation doesn't only affect the village, but also those living outside of it.

In a quiet cabin inside the depths of the thick forest lived two people, a retired grand wizard and his pupil, a mere sorceress, Lelei la Lalena, and Master Kato. Lelei is obligated to help the grandmaster sorcerer Kato in any matter, in exchange for learning and delving deeper into magic.

And so they lived in the same house together near Koda village. The retired master had enough with the rowdy and busy life in Rondel, the city of magic, and the eternal bickering of other retired masters. So he seeks out peace outside of Rondel and decides to settle down here, within the forest near Koda village. It's also a suitable place to practice magic with the high presence of fairies and the ancient trees pulsing with magic.

That's when he met Lelei, a relatively young girl that is eager and very invested in magic, and wanted to learn and improve upon it. He saw great potential within the girl, so he took the girl in as his pupil.

"Lelei! Help me with these books!" The master sorcerer called out to his pupil for help as he was carrying a high tower of books in all colors and sizes, nearly tipping over and falling onto the muddy wet ground.

Lelei, the beautiful blue-haired mage glanced over at her struggling teacher and set aside her work on the cart to focus on the old man. "Master, we cannot fit any more books into the wagon. If we do it will break our axle" The mage politely informed Kato.

Kato insisted and walked over to the back of the cart, placing the stack of books onto solid wood and breathed out a sigh of relief as the man stretched his back. "Oh Lelei, we are sorcerers, we don't need axles and mechanisms," Kato said with a sly grin and took his stave from the back of the cart, holding it up confidently. "We are sorcerers!"

The little girl looked unimpressed by Kato's behavior, disappointed moreover. "Magic should not be used for selfish and petty reasons, master, you stated it yourself." The girl coldly replied to Kato's statement, quoting Kato's words from the past.

"Ah well.." The retired master clutched onto his stave tightly. "If you phrase it like that then I suppose you are right" Walking to the front of the cart, they both take a seat and Lelei holds the leash that controls the donkey that will be pulling the filled cart. Books, food, and items of magic filled the cart they rode on, taking up every inch of space possible and even more so stacking them up higher to fit more.
