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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvYy6GWdQ6
"Are you sure you figured out what you want it to be?" Aida asked as the forger continued on louder now. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp478gUxMkj
"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."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qjhdNZQ7i
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLyphLVoNy
DING. DING. DING.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYj6c5byK9
"It's begun," Seqoy spoke softly. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bHmE0aGJ
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOwxKWQKkm
Moments later, Aida and Kai stood alone as the forger continue its job.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7lKQgYWJD
"When we leave here, you will carry the Token back to the Faction and -,"Kai began before Aida cut him off.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYdCw95GhZ
"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I am not leaving you behind, nor am I bringing this Token without you."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jUER12gZZ
"You may not have a choice, I just want you to be prepared is all."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9yk7CnGd0
"We will make it together, I won't leave you," Aida responded.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr6sy4WnhK
"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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWC3yOk4Yb
Feeling his stare, she slowly switches her eyes from the forger and to his eyes instead, admiring the man that stood before her.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdw9PfB384
"I've not wanted to leave your side since I've seen you-," she began before being interrupted.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZeag7DcER
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7w3OztkQB
"It's finished," a voice broke through the room.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GzgGKKf0N
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIJvqR2djf
"Only one thing, you meant an Ayitas," Aida spoke in awe.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZYzwqHJHp
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB8Bq7Sd1R
Seqoy turned and held the Token out to the Faerlu Faction Leader. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhroJ3pTGVs
"Your Token, sir," Seqoy spoke.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1X4QJ9yOa
"Thank you Seqoy, now we must go," Kai responded before tucking the Token into a satchel hidden under his coat.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCHwGmZzoG
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEh9wgSpf
"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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k27LMITiM
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35uvNqEdo1
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZMhhSeies
"Hold onto it, please," Kai stated softly.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuuhX1WcVm
"I told you-."99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuV5aXCSdW
"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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngeIwdiy87
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveJyhvEtw2
As the two separated, Aida began to speak.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJcEH8dXis
"I've been waiting for this to happen." 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhekiumnUUB
"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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIcCkHQuvC
"But-," Aida tried before Kai slung open the door from where they were.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq4D2B2xEg
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mvaoLiHep
"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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I8lGd6Hgr
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltg6Fgmvs6
"Where is the other one," a voice spoke aloud.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG2jvfA8nD
A slight struggle could be heard before another voice answered.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcasawViK
"There is no one else," Kai spoke aggressively.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TW2SJ74uP
"Lies!" The first voice yelled out.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvWr9CvRt5
"I'm not, the others were all sent back to the waters. I came alone." 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2hRTGOJ2W
"Then where is your Token? That's why you came here isn't it?" 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CXSZykRSl
"What? Who told you that?" Kai asked curiously and upset at the fact that someone was a traitor in his Faction.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6TkfvTByI
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqodeE3ZTsd
"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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz4F7UTakK
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgU5UB4Xi2
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlIBh957Os
"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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJ7jSMV1m
"What do you mean?" Rif asked.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQDcoNTG8T
"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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi299331vk
"We are too mate. Take him to the Booster, search the rest of the house!" Rif exclaimed to the rest of the men. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8fPvu8fn
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. 99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qeOwsdMtx
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbSdNFmDki
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2EMz2czjq
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.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yCnWcdhBL
Once the door was shut behind her, Leon stood in front of her, giving her a shocked look of interest.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kMWRlLZm9
"What's going on?" Leon asked.99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXExsBIt3
"Portam is a traitor, Kai is captured by Sygnen, we must go back for him. We must..."
