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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPPUjQu4x7
"Are you sure you figured out what you want it to be?" Aida asked as the forger continued on louder now. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraL46Sv7c8
"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."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Al0pcFueX
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYEj7VJD5R
DING. DING. DING.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekleECW8V2
"It's begun," Seqoy spoke softly. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LYWpz7hs6
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXixrEg6KXQ
Moments later, Aida and Kai stood alone as the forger continue its job.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PpQJuHTyn
"When we leave here, you will carry the Token back to the Faction and -,"Kai began before Aida cut him off.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyp4u0V685
"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I am not leaving you behind, nor am I bringing this Token without you."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg1uAzhvj7
"You may not have a choice, I just want you to be prepared is all."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN59UjZDdQx
"We will make it together, I won't leave you," Aida responded.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdb8JHX2Oz
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ928PF3qQAU
Feeling his stare, she slowly switches her eyes from the forger and to his eyes instead, admiring the man that stood before her.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctuLutKwI
"I've not wanted to leave your side since I've seen you-," she began before being interrupted.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27z1MJAegb
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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdiB5DPxHr
"It's finished," a voice broke through the room.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih661MFRTZ
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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq3hYE0ZYJ
"Only one thing, you meant an Ayitas," Aida spoke in awe.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyzuyrJH3Z
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ah3pHCX93
Seqoy turned and held the Token out to the Faerlu Faction Leader. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqLSGWwOyh
"Your Token, sir," Seqoy spoke.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQcYIlIa4u
"Thank you Seqoy, now we must go," Kai responded before tucking the Token into a satchel hidden under his coat.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuS93yaibO
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GlUT0Aolo
"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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQvmec8Td
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAahlfFSBxe
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8IRzwjESj
"Hold onto it, please," Kai stated softly.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9oU21dwXF
"I told you-."92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3ILbkPZo
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDGfjBqT3m
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOrVKU9lVI
As the two separated, Aida began to speak.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrlRVjXlpy
"I've been waiting for this to happen." 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPW1mBEk2
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ6zeG9ICv
"But-," Aida tried before Kai slung open the door from where they were.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIaG3ld0PT
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YGbKmWy84
"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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmRUGuwEYH
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h3XdyPKsu
"Where is the other one," a voice spoke aloud.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnLVJTbRWT
A slight struggle could be heard before another voice answered.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zt8edUAON
"There is no one else," Kai spoke aggressively.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOnr6IBEcX
"Lies!" The first voice yelled out.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIMVhEGMiN
"I'm not, the others were all sent back to the waters. I came alone." 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPzPNkAyX1
"Then where is your Token? That's why you came here isn't it?" 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYneQjgVGev
"What? Who told you that?" Kai asked curiously and upset at the fact that someone was a traitor in his Faction.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpTikUvlxY
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2p0eOTibe
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdFyOzLGX
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMRxYcgo7d
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fr41370D6
"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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7C2tgT7vX
"What do you mean?" Rif asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSsWzA4pi
"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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMEp7nG0Z5
"We are too mate. Take him to the Booster, search the rest of the house!" Rif exclaimed to the rest of the men. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxwyFFjDGJ
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. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFoFuQ6E0h
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZqKrsjmNw
92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFHUpyTLy9
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.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NQWP3pI3B
Once the door was shut behind her, Leon stood in front of her, giving her a shocked look of interest.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGlAqXZ6eA
"What's going on?" Leon asked.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm7PZI6oTn
"Portam is a traitor, Kai is captured by Sygnen, we must go back for him. We must..."
