A shrieking whistle could be heard as the Official Faction Token forger began to start progressing through the blood that was dripping from Kai's hand and into the mixture of melted ores that puddled at the top of it.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeyDgkD0u9
"Are you sure you figured out what you want it to be?" Aida asked as the forger continued on louder now. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUfMSYNrzS
"I know exactly what this Token will mean to us. Only one thing, one creature can compare to the courage, the fight, and the drive that we have as a Faction. Only one."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtGDBQvEK9
After he spoke, pressure from a line that ran above the forger could be heard blowing out of a leak. Simultaneously, a loud wheel began to spin louder and louder before a giant steel hammer dropped from the ceiling and onto the boiling red ores and blood that sat on the forger. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywycrhetEo
DING. DING. DING.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLHCksVDSN
"It's begun," Seqoy spoke softly. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1sFp9sCU
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MU4PYKD8T
Moments later, Aida and Kai stood alone as the forger continue its job.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSPV1dtEPb
"When we leave here, you will carry the Token back to the Faction and -,"Kai began before Aida cut him off.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw98AyGKJBc
"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I am not leaving you behind, nor am I bringing this Token without you."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6WSF39Bu
"You may not have a choice, I just want you to be prepared is all."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEuAoxwbs
"We will make it together, I won't leave you," Aida responded.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4TXc304le
"Well if they get worse then we are hoping for, you may have to make that decision," Kai spoke softly while gazing at Aida, her eyes shining brightly in the dimmed room.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8RRyeEpjM
Feeling his stare, she slowly switches her eyes from the forger and to his eyes instead, admiring the man that stood before her.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH4486a1n2
"I've not wanted to leave your side since I've seen you-," she began before being interrupted.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlk7GgwRKq
The Official Faction Token forger began to quiet down as the hammer arose from the forger one last time and back towards the ceiling of the room.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB9AD2GfXu
"It's finished," a voice broke through the room.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tLog8qAWw
Kai looked back as the figure of Seqoy strolled through the room and the the forger. He reached to the bright object that remained, holding it up for the other two to see.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JCwkiw2ey
"Only one thing, you meant an Ayitas," Aida spoke in awe.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUEZM7MC6g
Before them was a Token forged with rare ores that provided a bright gold color to existence. The shape of the token was the size of a normal palm of a hand, and shaped like a wing off an ancient creature that once roamed the Expanse. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwpNZrImY
Seqoy turned and held the Token out to the Faerlu Faction Leader. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEDoWr32HU
"Your Token, sir," Seqoy spoke.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdOZ8x1hpm
"Thank you Seqoy, now we must go," Kai responded before tucking the Token into a satchel hidden under his coat.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRn4d84NkW
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaTKnCiii
"Here is a back exit to the center of Njomon, it should give you a head start against the threat that awaits you," Seqoy held his hands in a proper posture as he stood in front of a door that was awaiting the two Faerlu members. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lJBpmbX99
They thanked the odd Gacean before heading through the doorway and into the awaiting darkness. The room they thought they were going into was just a small, barely the size of a small closet-type of room. Kai reached around the walls until he felt the lever that Seqoy had warned him to find. After pulling it, the small dark room began to grow brighter as it shot up from the depths below until finally it was like a light was being turned off and on, showing the bright waters they were travelling through. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEfqwsiR3G
Slowly Kai looked to Aida, who was already noticing him in the light standing right in front of her. The Fearlu leader began to reach to his waist, grabbing the satchel and pulling strap from around his head. Afterwards, he looked to her again and handed the satchel and Token that lied inside of it to her. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSlrA0tDHq
"Hold onto it, please," Kai stated softly.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWIT21kJ5
"I told you-."117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8tThL3iy
"They will be waiting for us no matter what, I need you to be safe and to bring this to the Faction. Tell them to continue on to our home," Kai spoke before she could continue.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKFjiropIk
Reaching out, Kai sat one of his hands gently upon her cheek. Her blue hair covered half of her face, her blue eyes continued to gaze upon Kai as she leaned towards him. Kai felt the care that she had for him, knowing that this was the first time someone worried about him the way she did made her even more amazing in his eyes. As their lips touched, the room came to a slow halt. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dodcX52lH
As the two separated, Aida began to speak.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXEl2u8L8
"I've been waiting for this to happen." 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6j45Zeb04
"I'm still not sure if that was the proper move for me to accept, but we will speak about it later," Kai responded. His feelings being everywhere for the moment.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV2JfIfooS
"But-," Aida tried before Kai slung open the door from where they were.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE149UlZZr
Confusion set upon her face as she was utterly shocked at the person she admired. Slowly she finally began to step out after a few more moments of thought. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHdrdTAuBx
"I just don't understand..." Aida was starting before a bunch of noise could be heard coming from a room near the one that they arrived in. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLKWpMsEw2
A house abandoned in the better parts of Njomon was where they arrived. Aida quieted down before stepping to the side of a wall, covering her mouth and slowing her breathing. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LG9HKpvS9
"Where is the other one," a voice spoke aloud.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ahnnz1pLH
A slight struggle could be heard before another voice answered.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXPuowUhIv
"There is no one else," Kai spoke aggressively.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu704OuiJnf
"Lies!" The first voice yelled out.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD640gR1NY
"I'm not, the others were all sent back to the waters. I came alone." 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMK2hLNhuo
"Then where is your Token? That's why you came here isn't it?" 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bb9DsJHSg
"What? Who told you that?" Kai asked curiously and upset at the fact that someone was a traitor in his Faction.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9DfwolFuI
The man in front of him stepped forwards, showing himself in the light that shined throughout the cracks of the old abandoned house. In front of him stood a man with a nicely trimmed beard and long black hair that reached his shoulders. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFG9BcJ9SK
"Portam has done a great job for us. For me specifically. My name is Rif, I am the man from Sygnen sent to capture you and bring you back to Azutria," the solder Rif said.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEtjT3VOxo
Kai was surprised, out of all people Portam wasn't who he had expected to be a traitor. This wasn't supposed to happen this way. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEuQi1uDMF
On the other side of the wall in a different room of the house, Aida was also taking in this new information. Quickly and quietly she began to tippy-toe her way through the house and to the window that sat before her. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP50VdaUyQI
"You guys are worried aren't you?" Kai spoke suddenly as he stared at the floor. Two Sygnen soldiers held each of his arms on the sides of him. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgStejVgyC6
"What do you mean?" Rif asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmyyhclh2Y
"You guys are worried, we are one of the first and only Factions to make an uprising of this extent against the Dusk Alliance. We are a true threat, and we are only getting started," Kai laughed slightly at the end of his statement.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAv5xw4aM2
"We are too mate. Take him to the Booster, search the rest of the house!" Rif exclaimed to the rest of the men. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTT0Xy4li
A few Sygnen soldiers walked into the room next to theirs and searched for any others that might be there, Aida was long gone at this point. 117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j1wiOH2f6
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0j7a5UemU
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVig81SVEcj
Aida traveled through the beautiful city of Njomon until finally she reached a small Treader awaiting her at the docks, she floated across the waters until she finally reached the Faerlu booster that awaited her return. She climbed aboard the craft, and headed towards the captains deck.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnSwcVPeYp
Once the door was shut behind her, Leon stood in front of her, giving her a shocked look of interest.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xRBAZoosR
"What's going on?" Leon asked.117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsZ5sUBD8q
"Portam is a traitor, Kai is captured by Sygnen, we must go back for him. We must..."
