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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ95Ob9s49R
"Are you sure you figured out what you want it to be?" Aida asked as the forger continued on louder now. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzudfbtXQK
"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."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntpJ4Dinll
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsZqta4Paf
DING. DING. DING.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmJaxIxyDW
"It's begun," Seqoy spoke softly. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRl0jCcTFj
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5qFD4V13f
Moments later, Aida and Kai stood alone as the forger continue its job.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw68TvqdRi
"When we leave here, you will carry the Token back to the Faction and -,"Kai began before Aida cut him off.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPthpbMoO17
"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but I am not leaving you behind, nor am I bringing this Token without you."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl91ZDaxE1g
"You may not have a choice, I just want you to be prepared is all."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZduRBnC2i
"We will make it together, I won't leave you," Aida responded.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Fk4zDdVY
"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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzl6gOFdyU
Feeling his stare, she slowly switches her eyes from the forger and to his eyes instead, admiring the man that stood before her.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX9ZJm9CNw
"I've not wanted to leave your side since I've seen you-," she began before being interrupted.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg9RcdSVli
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIrF9h3Ocl
"It's finished," a voice broke through the room.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qbFyrpNpQ
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7UryMgaQt
"Only one thing, you meant an Ayitas," Aida spoke in awe.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKByDyPDE8Y
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HJiPuWI7
Seqoy turned and held the Token out to the Faerlu Faction Leader. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSd5ym1bn4
"Your Token, sir," Seqoy spoke.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCdpCO52mf
"Thank you Seqoy, now we must go," Kai responded before tucking the Token into a satchel hidden under his coat.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnubjVoZ2ZO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkweZ3BjfI
"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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsj07LXVIb
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFdlKLC0L
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEFu4qXsgw
"Hold onto it, please," Kai stated softly.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnhVsK1MFg
"I told you-."93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAbQ54QnAu
"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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZORhEhpSXF
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgUs8Fy24H
As the two separated, Aida began to speak.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqZNp64Nia
"I've been waiting for this to happen." 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTouOyMLt
"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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVZ8q9ua32
"But-," Aida tried before Kai slung open the door from where they were.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjENFvliqE
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu7IgGOIpk
"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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkRUCnRZba
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNHiGnbHU
"Where is the other one," a voice spoke aloud.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujziYVzbAZ
A slight struggle could be heard before another voice answered.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmWdbhLumb
"There is no one else," Kai spoke aggressively.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP80eykKKz
"Lies!" The first voice yelled out.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldrWWH7IVF
"I'm not, the others were all sent back to the waters. I came alone." 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM64gqQKXO
"Then where is your Token? That's why you came here isn't it?" 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6sZrukF6p
"What? Who told you that?" Kai asked curiously and upset at the fact that someone was a traitor in his Faction.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ds9sFZvGI
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhAV6juT2i
"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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nudUHJOKm
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRpfSfe4V5
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVapg9N3eqk
"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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwRDNd8E1j
"What do you mean?" Rif asked.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMuZ8TXLzY
"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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVHxRZkGPX
"We are too mate. Take him to the Booster, search the rest of the house!" Rif exclaimed to the rest of the men. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWheJ6rICWZ
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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOETaZ2lhGZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVHmlPjyE6
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h9BzhBgBK
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwqlkz2yBO
Once the door was shut behind her, Leon stood in front of her, giving her a shocked look of interest.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2gieFwaHS
"What's going on?" Leon asked.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WItHilXMF
"Portam is a traitor, Kai is captured by Sygnen, we must go back for him. We must..."
