The four of us suddenly found ourselves in the storage room of a hangar, where a voice attached to our necks issued us a test. We were warned that our safety wouldn't be promised if we refused. Our objectives were to steal an airship and head to a cathedral on an island.
We managed to get pretty far before we were shot down. Most of our injuries occurred during the fall.
As for the island . . . we crossed a jungle to reach the cathedral. There were illusions of some people and a winged beast the four of us know inside. The last test wasn't an objective so much as curiosity to see how far we'd go to protect them.
One of them was posing as my descendant. I know how she is; she'd never act the way she did there. Her feigned distress was nothing more than a ruse to anger me.
I'm used to it. It's not the first time an impostor appeared before me.
Anyway, the beast was one of ours. [A mimicry to upset them, that is.] There were illusions of a few familiar faces here, ostensibly in the same circumstance as us. They were threatening our loved ones to save theirs.
I see. I suppose one can take a photograph on the phone, ja? Technology. But, um, as a backup plan. Anything written I take a look at, I'll retain letter for letter. So it might be good to see these things for myself in case something were to happen to the original.

[Before it was sounding sort of. How life goes. Sometimes you fall out of the sky and traverse jungle ruins. But this part sounds pretty nasty.]
How could you tell they were illusions?

. . . The test you're describing. They were attacked by this beast? What did it want you to do?

They weren't real, though. If they were, they wouldn't be here with us anymore.

. . . And after that, you were able to return.

Before we returned, we met the owner of the voice. They left us with documents and a map piece. We found our way back after that.

[Literally.]
It's not a bad idea. You should ask those two to show you.

. . . There's one more thing. Between the voice and our tasks, the four of us died a few times.
