After Solar Scion’s surprise attack, people of the Guild have gotten more anxious and Breakfast is tense, Indica is setting with Hudson, Juni, Falconer and Husk
Hudson: Is everyday this life threatening?
Indica: No, and I like it that way
Juni: Yeah not being under Life Threatening stress is probably very healthy
Husk: Without conflict, there is no food
Falconer: Uh
Hudson: Does he have a point?
Juni: No, Husk just damaged his brain in training and has thought he was a leech every since
Husk: Me, Want, Feed
Indica: Do you want to eat People or Regular Food, because you’ve been eating regular food this whole time
Husk: ……
Falconer: Indica
Indica: What
Falconer: I think you just gave him an Existential crisis.
Husk’s face is expressionless and he appears to be blanking.
Hudson: It appears to be much worse then that
Juni: Yeah…
Indica: Ok I’m sorry?
Falconer: This’ll pass, I think.
Juni: So can I….
Falconer: You definitely can’t have her cipher
Juni: I just need it to see something
Indica: You wouldn’t even know how it works
Hudson: Uh, What works?
Indica: Juni wants to use a cipher that someone who is now dead made
Hudson: I have many questions
Falconer: Don’t bother asking
Juni: I will take that as no
Falconer: Yes, that is a No.
Hudson: So, how’s the weather?
Juni: Not the best we’ve seen
Suddenly, Thomas and Femmeo come from outside
Thomas: So we got a lead on uh
Femmeo: The Bled?
Thomas: That works
Femmeo: A convoy he is leading is heading out of District 1, does anyone want to play covert operative
Gladian: I will
Indica (Under Her Breath): He’s going to get himself killed
Indica: Me too
Gladian: Yay
Atoll: Gladian, I’ll go with you
Hudson: Uhh
Indica: Just go with me
Gladian (Under his Breath): Just when I thought I could get some alone time
Atoll: But You probably would have taken me with you
Sien: The Kid has a point
Viridian: I can go
Cosma: Then it’s settled
Indica: Let’s get going
Indica, Cosma, Viridian, Hudson, Gladian and Atoll all leave to pursue the convoy.
Oceane: In other news, I’m going to see if I can identify the Island with Vendil and Necra
Vendil: Maybe someone else encountered it before
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Juni: Do you want anyone to come with you
Oceane: I guess
Husk: Great I can’t wait to eat people
Falconer: You Mean Meet People?, Right?
Husk: Yes……………..
Necra: Yay, now we can ask way more questions
The party of six leave
Helia walks over to Larkin’s table
Larkin: Everyone is going on Adventures Today
Helia: We should also go on one
Larkin: Huh, where
Helia: I have no idea
Xen: In other news I am leaving for a while
Helia: Can we come with
Xen: Uh ok
Xen, Helia and Larkin leave the guild together
Xen: So I was actually going to ask you to come with me
Helia: Really……..
Larkin: Why, I’m not that useful
Xen: Loren made an algorithm for where the Solar Scion will appear next, and she may be appearing near an Old Friend, I just want to make sure they are safe
Helia: Where are they?
Xen: District 31?
Larkin: Well we should get going
We pan over to Gladian, Indica, Atoll, Viridian, Cosma and Hudson tailing the convoy
Enter District 7
Cosma(Whispering): They’re heading towards that warehouse
Viridian(Whispering): I think I can draw the Guards
Cosma(Whispering): Go On
Viridian(Whispering): I’ll fire two arrows at their legs to draw out members of the convoys
Hudson(Whispering): Then we’ll ambush them
Viridian(Whispering): Exactly
Indica(Whispering): You have my blessing to shoot
Viridian fires off two arrows to draw Goons
Goon: Hey what was that
Battle Begins
Battle Ends
Atoll: Let’s continue to tail them
They get back to sneaking
Pan to Xen, Larkin and Helia
Enter District 30
Helia: The Centennials are really prowling this district, I also feel a ton of Solar Energy
Xen: We may already be too late then
Larkin: We have to try still
Xen: We must be going then.
Begin District 30
Midway Through District 30
Larkin: Why would they be here
Xen: It could be a raiding party, use violence to rule by fear
Helia: That’s all the reason we should continue onward
Larkin: Helia….
Helia: What?
Larkin: This one of the first times in a while I’ve seen you on a mission, why is that
Helia: ??
Continue District 30
End District 30
Helia: I’m on the mission, because I still want to help, I want to stop being Afraid
Larkin: Excellent Motivation
Xen: Stay Focused, Please
Begin District 31
Midway Through District 31
Xerxes and Iseri see Xen, Helia and Larkin
Xerxes: Corpsmen
Iseri: Old Friend, are you once again here in our hour of need
Xen: I had a feeling you needed help
Larkin: AND I AM ALSO HERE
Helia: ……
Iseri: Uh, ok
The Solar Scion then appears
Solar Scion: The Gang will be reunited soon
Fire pools around the ground
Solar Scion: Join Sien and Flandon
Iseri tenses up, and then launches himself at Solar Scion, he gets knocked down as Xerxes charges her and is also tossed around
Xen and Iseri: Not going to happen
Battle the Solar Scion
Battle Ends
Solar Scion just hovers in place and the gets back up
Solar Scion: I am not beaten yet
Helia: Yes You Are
Helia casts a spell and funnels her energy into her staff
Solar Scion: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Helia: YOU ARE FINISHED
Her Arm begins to change into bricks of colors
Helia: What The (Her arm wavers)
Solar Scion breaks free and teleports away
Xerxes: What the hell happened.
Xen: I have no idea
More Solar Forms appear
Xerxes: Ah, this is more my speed
They run at the Solar Forms and we pan away to Oceane, Necra, Vendil, Husk, Juni and Falconer at the port and sitting on Crates
Oceane: HOW COME NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS ISLAND
Falconer: Probably because this Island was in the Pacific and a lot of these ships sail the Atlantic.
Oceane: Huh, that...makes sense
Juni: So what do we do now
Vendil: Talk to that ship
Vendil points at a ship coming into port with a Centennials Symbol on the sail
Husk: Mh…..(He begins to salivate), F o o d.
Juni: Someone Stop him
Necra: I got this
Necra resurrects a dead sailor, this attracts everyone’s attention
Dead Sailor: Heey Guys I…
Husk rips the Dead Sailor’s head off and shoves it in his mouth and crushes it with his teeth
Falconer: He got that alright
Necra:Uh...Whoops
The Centennial Ship Captain Swoops down from the ship
Captain Thechr: Century Corps Members performing casual resurrection on the docks, hmmr.
Necra: Naw we did that to stop Husk, If we didn’t he would have probably came onto your ship and ate your whole crew
Captain Thechr: What in Lemuria’s Name
The name peaks Oceane
Oceane: Lemuria, please elaborate?
Thechr: You’ve never heard of Lemuria? Huh, It’s basically an Ancient Continent with most of it submerged, it used to exist in the Pacific Ocean. It was very advanced and ahead of its time.
Oceane: Ooh.
Thechr: Parts of the Continent were powered by A Magical Stone with a lot of energy generation, according to legend
Oceane: Ooh
Husk: Huh
Juni: Thank you for your time
Wentus then marches into the port
Wentus: Century Corps surrender the Stone, Thechr, surrender your crew and ship to me
Thechr: Not Happenening
Husk grabs the stone from Oceane
Oceane: What are you doing
Husk: I’m getting the stone away from here, Falconer
Falconer: Yes
Husk: Get it out of here
Falconer’s Falcon flies away with the stone into the forest
Juni: Quick, let’s tail it
Juni, Falconer and Husk chase the falcon
Vendil: You will never get the Stone now Wentus
Wentus: Grrr…..
Necra: Now you are going to stay back
Fight Wentus
Battle Ends
Wentus: I will be back
Wentus leaves and the camera pans to Gladian, Indica, Viridian, Cosma, Hudson and Atoll, and they are watching The Bled set up the ritual
Hudson (Whispering): He’s about to start talking
The Bled turns to the room and begins to address the his cultists
The Bled: Brothers, Today, this ritual is just another small step in the road to our perfect future, we will triumph, by drawing the enemy out, Gevhim will reign
The Bled begins to draw blood and then Gladian, Indica, Viridian, Cosma, Hudson and Atoll appear and start attacking
Atoll: HEYYYY
The Bled: HAHAHA, YOU CANNOT STOP ME
Cosma: We will see about that
Fight The Bled
Fight Ends
The Bled: You’ve lost
Indica: Uh….We just won
The Bled: This was just a distraction
An explosion happens nearby as The Bled runs away
