Chapter 27
Wanted men
Late into the evening an emergency rune was triggered Baker, Shyft, Doran, Paige, Jasper, and I took off to the location it was triggered. We came up to the outlook tower on the east corner where 3 of the Ironhide guards were located.
"What’s the situation?" Baker asked as we approached.
"Masters, there is a young woman in the field that just appeared out of nowhere. Tyler said her energy feels demonic but not aggressive nor blood lusting." The taller muscled female guard stated. She was an earth user that specialized in body armaments. She could make a golem armor that made her mass triple and made her even more deadly with her fighting style, krav maga.
"She is here for us Liz, nothing to fear. She is an ally though isn’t keen on working in Sanctuary at least yet." Baker answered.
We jumped off the tower over the wall and walked over to Kyra. She was just standing there unmoving.
"Kyra, what’s going on?" I asked
"Well, I came to congratulate you on dealing with Kokoda and bring more info." She pulled out some papers and continued. "Looks like the Pillars have a bounty out on you now. Reward is 300 bloodstones each, a sought-after currency in the demon realm, they can be used to strengthen one’s power and they are very hard to obtain I gather."
"So now the demons will be searching for us more and more motivated to kill us huh?" I said questioningly.
"Yes, and I believe two of the Pillars are trying to actively find you as well even just info on your location is worth 20 bloodstones. I am doing my best to confuse the info and make everything credible seem like made up bs."

"We can use this to draw out two of the Pillars, at least one, set up an ambush by having you feed just the right info." Shyft said excitedly.
"That’s true. How long can you keep the subterfuge up? I asked
"I can probably buy you 6 months at the most.' She answered honestly.
"Fair enough, ok we will find a location for the ambush and start working on setting it up to our advantage. We have too many people here that aren’t fighters to let them come here. Kyra, can you find out some info on these other two pillars?" I stated laying out the start of a plan.
"I can do that. See you in two weeks." She said nodding. Then she vanished into one of her portals.
"Ok everyone we have another Pillar to knock down. Once we get the intel on them and any info on their powers we will start. Until then Doran we need arcanium vehicles we have too many teams for walking and running and Shade can’t be everywhere. Think you can swing that?" I said to everyone finishing looking at Doran.
"Unfortunately, I do not have the skill for that but maybe we can find a mechanic to assist." He said regretfully but added "If they can design it and help with the arcanium forging, I don’t see why not. What are you thinking?"
"Well I want stealth jeeps and motorcycles for my Spectres and I was thinking stealth armored large storage capacity trucks for the Acquisitions teams. Baker? Shyft?' I answered
"For the Skyteam I need retractable gliders and something that helps with climbing and anchoring." Shyft said. Doran pulled out his notebook and started writing it all down with notes and instant ideas.
"For the Ironhides maybe heavy armored buses or APCs with some type of area defense ability." Baker mused
"Oh, and I have an idea for a more permanent travel method in the future that will work with you on in our free time, as little as that is." I said laughing dryly
"Ok first things first we need a mechanic of some sort. Then I’ll work on these." Doran said nodding at something he wrote. "I’ll work with each of you as we get the prototypes started.'" He finished.
We headed back to into Sanctuary, and all headed to bed. Before falling asleep I linked my brothers.
