Mariana HQ - Three hours after the Sign
The sandy shores of the volcanic island was truly a sight no one would doubt its authenticity. The horizon was a beautiful cloudless blue which seemed to make anyone viewing such a sight assume what had happened only hours before was merely a dream. In fact, that would be what many would simply believe if it wasn't for the creatures that were near them. These creatures, while they were acting docile and obedient currently, held amazing powers which helped the majority of those standing around, the summoners, survive the Sign. And they had appeared from their machines; or more specifically, the Goetia app.
Then there was the peculiar sight of uniformed men standing around the summoners much like a human borderline, keeping them within their sight. It was a necessary thing to do, since currently the island's shores were occupied with thousands of people - it would be difficult to make sure no one decides to explore the island and be unaccounted for.
A platform was placed up high where the thousands of summoners could see from where they were. Once it was set up, one of the uniformed figures rose to stand there. The figure was a woman; she was not particularly tall nor charismatic, but held a likable face. Her cheeks were showing a healthy pink under the auburn fringe, and both her dark-brown eyes and glossy lips were smiling with friendliness. She poked at the headset attached to her right ear and the familiar noise of speakers reverberated at the shore.
"Greetings to you all,"
The woman's voice was amplified so that everyone could hear. She spoke with an unwavering voice while making sure to make eye contact with as many people as she can.
"First of all, thank you for being here at this moment. My name is Cerise Vylia and I am here to speak on behalf of the organization which has brought everyone here today. We are called the Mariana; a secret organization striving to aid humanity from destruction. We have worked in the shadows to support the continued existence of our society, but due to a certain event that everyone here has personally faced, we have decided to step out to the public - and to you."
As Cerise paused for a moment, a shadow scurried up the platform. It jumped up to the shoulder of the woman with ease, to which she did not react. Upon closer inspection, one would find out that the shadow was in fact a small black cat.
"The sudden quakes and tremors, and the appearance of creatures... We of the Mariana have called this event the Sign, because we are certain that this marks the start of the biggest event mankind has ever faced. We have evidence to support that there will be more disasters like the Sign in the near future, and each disaster will become worse than the last."
Once again the woman paused, letting the words sink in to the summoners. The cat on her shoulder went to lick at its paws, and if anyone was observing the cat more closely than Cerise, they would realize that its eyes changed from blue to amber depending on the angle they are viewed from.
"There is still hope however. Each and everyone present here has been chosen by the Goetia Network to wield the power of controlling creatures. Not much is known of the Goetia Network and the Goetia app, but be assured that it is the key to save humanity. The creatures summoned from the Goetia app will follow any command and each creature has its own ways of aiding us to our goals, as I am certain everyone is fully aware of. Their abilities have been proved when they rescued many from the Sign and many more from the summoner-less creatures.
"That is also why we have gathered everyone here from all over the world. Some may have lost a few things but others have lost their entire lives due to the Sign. We cannot regain things that are lost forever, but we can stand up to prevent further destruction; join us so that we can go through these disasters together. With everyone's determination and everyone's creatures, we can secure ourselves a brighter future.
"For those who wishes to join us in protecting our future, please progress towards the center of this island to the dormant volcano. There will be Mariana members who will show around the living quarters and the mess hall, as well as some basics about our organization. For those who refuses the offer - I give my heartfelt regret. We do not however want to enforce our rules on anyone, as we do believe in the freedom of individual choice. Those who do not wish to join us, please follow this creature - it will be a guide to the teleporters which will send everyone back to the main land. Unfortunately we can only safely teleport to New York City of the former United States of America at this moment. There will also be a survival pack for everyone leaving - these include rations and tents as well as various other items deemed necessary for survival."
With those words, the cat in Cerise's possession sprang up at a speed no normal cat could attempt and landed on the shore. Ignoring the people around it, it started walking around the shore. The uniformed Mariana members dissolved their human borderlines and allowed the summoners to make their choice; move up to the inner part of the island in order to become a Mariana summoner, or follow the cat-like creature to the teleporters and survival packs back to New York City.
