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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlqSRERfd1
"Are you sure you figured out what you want it to be?" Aida asked as the forger continued on louder now. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmDbcw2Isx
"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."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16s9KNwPqW
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDX0Dne8cv
DING. DING. DING.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9diEoB0bfO
"It's begun," Seqoy spoke softly. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIudRrlrmQF
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7bnZZ7DqO
Moments later, Aida and Kai stood alone as the forger continue its job.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzljxx1k3q6
"When we leave here, you will carry the Token back to the Faction and -,"Kai began before Aida cut him off.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNhQ4OCtuZ
"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I am not leaving you behind, nor am I bringing this Token without you."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxzODaSBtn
"You may not have a choice, I just want you to be prepared is all."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvJdtr1b8
"We will make it together, I won't leave you," Aida responded.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58KRM7kPkI
"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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrCAOyaxov
Feeling his stare, she slowly switches her eyes from the forger and to his eyes instead, admiring the man that stood before her.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UDOpJm8JZ
"I've not wanted to leave your side since I've seen you-," she began before being interrupted.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmAeZ1pbq
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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8tXEepCYC
"It's finished," a voice broke through the room.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyh6zkimJn
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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvou5kdATl
"Only one thing, you meant an Ayitas," Aida spoke in awe.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj33vzYyS5
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLCl0PGIen
Seqoy turned and held the Token out to the Faerlu Faction Leader. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k3xRd7Yix
"Your Token, sir," Seqoy spoke.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJLP0I2cIj
"Thank you Seqoy, now we must go," Kai responded before tucking the Token into a satchel hidden under his coat.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH14ypdlboz
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun77j6JFcI
"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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz23d8dPRTL
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2wtLfTmKl
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN69X8akaa
"Hold onto it, please," Kai stated softly.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHKyy2RsPL
"I told you-."104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp931W3cor
"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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLoV8auL3J
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AM2RBTif5
As the two separated, Aida began to speak.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNsV06Tfk2
"I've been waiting for this to happen." 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTIPIs3thY
"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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXXDTEGwQ5
"But-," Aida tried before Kai slung open the door from where they were.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDyQEORXgi
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxRxHJHuf
"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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXP0GdGVAb
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSNHC9GWKj
"Where is the other one," a voice spoke aloud.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfEQNGAOtu
A slight struggle could be heard before another voice answered.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCteQuVgUbk
"There is no one else," Kai spoke aggressively.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsosNEESiZ
"Lies!" The first voice yelled out.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgYZjW6gQE
"I'm not, the others were all sent back to the waters. I came alone." 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ns1RCAK4M
"Then where is your Token? That's why you came here isn't it?" 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK4nlDCQzB
"What? Who told you that?" Kai asked curiously and upset at the fact that someone was a traitor in his Faction.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31YVjqlsNW
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hrcrD8PqE
"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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U7Xe6zuCx
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68rqXr6KR
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA60adgC5Y
"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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuIIhSeWuU
"What do you mean?" Rif asked.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfVx6R3uwn
"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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatEIPmK299
"We are too mate. Take him to the Booster, search the rest of the house!" Rif exclaimed to the rest of the men. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHjTLWMXHZ
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. 104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkB1UCz9Dd
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKvgaxD6mk
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpFUgGWsE
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.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9QfOiib8H
Once the door was shut behind her, Leon stood in front of her, giving her a shocked look of interest.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHibuAJhXvt
"What's going on?" Leon asked.104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSngpY7P8u
"Portam is a traitor, Kai is captured by Sygnen, we must go back for him. We must..."
