"One battle has been won, but this is just the beginning. We today are declaring that our Faction will war against the evil that spreads across the Expanse. Next, we will travel to the Official Faction Department to gain our legitimate establishment as a Faction. Our choice for you is this, join us, or return to your free lives. We hold no judgment over you regardless of your decision," Kai finished.

Everyone stood quietly among each other as the many slaves basically covered the whole Caecis entrance platform and the docks to the side of it as well. Whispers could be heard as a slight gust of wind made its way in between all that was there.

"How will we get back to Catarei?" A slave asked loudly to Kai.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3D6p3oXg
"There are two Boosters here at the docks as you see," Kai pointed to the massive boats that sat at the docks. "We will take one, the other is for those that wish to return to the city, my Treader is available over there as well," Kai finished.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp4GlPhbSQ
The whispers continued momentarily before another question was raised.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1k6yq1rw2
"What's the name of this Faction, and what's our goal exactly?" A woman asked this time.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NmAdP7EoN
Kai took a deep breath before he began.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlJDzr6JZs
"Our goal is to change the Expanse forever. We have all been suffering under the rule and evil shit that revolves around the Dusk Alliance," Kai looked back to where the Caecis entrance previously was, now just a deep cave full of water. "This is just the beginning, as I said earlier. We travel starting today, going across the expanse to the city of Njomon to be officially established by the Old Governments Official Faction Department. After we replenish our needed supplies for our journey, we will continue our travels across the Expanse, unlocking the secrets kept from us. To fight for those that don't have anyone or that can't fight for themselves. Imagine the people that are currently slaves like you are but have been for years, that is just their lifestyle at this point. Do you wish to change this forever ongoing chapter in all of our books?" Kai asked.

Now more approval was heard amongst the crowd of people. Leon stepped forwards this time to speak.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRCxFKj9c7
"There was once a bloodline long forgotten from thousands of years past, even before the times of the Old Days. They were known as the most feared Bloodline of Family and were leaders in our world. We take on the name of our lost Bloodline, we will be known as the Faction Faerlu."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEds4iSDDpK
When Leon finished, the crowd of over sixty slaves completely erupted into a cheer.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQzCalyem

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHz8ze6aTx
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwrForvMlH
As everything became calm once more, two lines were made for the Boosters. Eileen marked the names of those going back to Catarei, Leon marked the names of those joining Faerlu.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rkARBnkO
"Cruz, Kai spoke to us about you. Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Eileen asked the man.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtotyi2ue
Cruz looked down and sighed before he replied." No offense, the speeches were great. Nonetheless, this is both of our faults. I must go help rebuild our city so you guys can have Catarei to protect properly this time."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfxPHUttaT
Eileen nodded kindly.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaw5E6swdh
"I completely understand, and I'm sure Kai would appreciate that as well, save travels," she said in return.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VnpPrCR4O
"Forever Journey."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RbPByTmcx
With that, the next person walked up. A majority of the previous slaves would return to Catarei, but there were still around twenty or so joining the Faction.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqu458V5K
"Next," Leon stated.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhMW0kVcrU
A woman walked softly up to him, the one that previously asked the question earlier. Kai came up to the side of Leon as he was reaching the remaining individuals in his line.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmiR5QoAT2
"Name?" Leon asked.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhcehokvgk
"Aida, sir," she replied.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zLoOfFfsC
"That's a good name," Kai stated from the side as he was looking at Leon's list.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5QVzj7CkC
"Thank you, my lord."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7keBnLko
Kai chuckled before asking a question. "And why have you decided to join us exactly Aida?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2coBjqoi5
"Because I have nothing nor anything to return to. I wish to dedicate myself and learn to fight for this Faction."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKPIE8REVo
"Very well. Welcome to Faerlu."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0i3UrRSaw
After an awkward bow, Aida walked up the steps to the Booster. The next in line was the slave that set up the Glory-filled barrel with Kai and set the fuse.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshvWxuN6HM
"Name's Portam, and nay, I have plenty of skills that Faerlu will flourish off of.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOfPAIorm
"I believe it," Kai stated with a slight nod.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebszUKuOIC
Portam began his way up the stairs, and a few more individuals had their names marked including a navigator named Dulgit, before following in his steps until Leon's line was finally to an end.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXarxKE00CX
"We are almost ready to go, it's finally time," Leon stated with a sigh of relief.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2t1QjUK0q
Kai and Leon both laughed.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuhYH0TIGP
"Eileen will be done momentarily, she filled the whole Booster and the Treader," Kai said.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagy8OMWXXM
"Are you going to miss the Treader? Are you sure you're ready for this?" Leon asked.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAX8sJxVu
"Of course brother, let's go change the Expanse with our Forever Journey."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZyPtEs4OE
"Agreed," Leon said.
