"Leon, my love," a voice softly whispered. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRf6CExTeB

A small groan came from the one that had taken over responsibilities of the newly established Faerlu Faction. His drool puddled up onto the desk in the Captains Quarters of the Booster they maintained. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CkzLRjsN4

"Honey, we have been floating aimlessly for days we must get our plan together and take action. Kai wouldn't want you being the way you have been recently, plus the others are getting restless," Eileen whispered again.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDzOGIoFlG
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvMdoiuszh
This time with a more subtle groan, Leon leaned back and stretched his arms out before wiping the remaining drool from his mouth. Five days they had been floating throughout the expanse South as they tried to find any hint of information that Kai might have left behind for a next step in regards to their future as a Faction. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESPXLpXUkg
In that time, nothing has been achieved, just frustration and hopelessness that everything that had been obtained had been for naught all due to Kai being captured. Leons' stress was at an all time high as his new position had been weighing on his shoulders to decide on what to do next, and his indecisiveness was winning nonetheless. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGfIByhRpE

"I just don't know what to do, I'm sure the Dusk Alliance as a whole is on its' way to us at this moment even, Kai is captured or killed, and we have no goal at this moment on how to go on. I thought I could do this, that I could have the mindset he has, but I have to admit to everyone that I do not," Leon stated suddenly.
"That's not true, those of us that still believe in our Journey are just awaiting your orders. That is all," Eileen began as she grabbed onto Leons' hand, holding it tightly to her breasts. "You know that I would follow you to the end of the Expanse and back. You are just as strong, if not stronger then your brother. You guys have been from the worse to proving the whole world that you can accomplish anything. Please, Leon Gisada, do not give up on these people that have given their all for you guys already. Show them that this Faction, this Forever Journey is for life. Live or Die, we go out on our shield. Show them the brilliant and brave individual that I fell in love with, and I'm sure they will follow."
Once done, Leon stared mesmerized at the woman that stood next to him. She had truly followed him from a nobody all the way to where they are now. She stood by and never questioned not once their goal or their direction, all she did was go with him to the destination.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoZdned1V9

"I love you Eileen, thank you for that. I still don't know where to start though nonetheless..." Leons' words trailed as something came to his mind. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLstEnSpFFW

Quickly he stood and began to move papers from on top of the desk and scrolls from inside of it even, seemingly searching for something specific. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJZv5p14nw
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkE4QOvFTh
"What is it?" Eileen asked while beginning to look through some of the papers as well.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQ6cAs7fV
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOjR4ErdLe
"A list, it was almost delusional but I think it actually might have been something. I didn't think of it until now but," Leon spoke as he found what he was looking for and held it up. "Kai and I used to leave coded letters for each other when we roamed the floaters in Catarei and we couldn't meet up in time. That way others didn't know where we would be staying and they couldn't hit our stashes."
Moving the rest of the papers and items aside on the desk to where he had a clear working area, he pulled out an ink pen and began to circle every other letter in each word starting with the second letter. Eventually Leon wrote on the bottom of it the same page what seemed to be a list.
"I knew this letter to Miss Kira, I just had a feeling it could've been for something else as well," Leon said with a hint of sadness dwelling in his voice.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp5YkdXCXt
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFiaF8IqVg
"I'm sorry my love," Eileen responded softly next to him.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg80wv11d5f
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVs7sPp5J1
"Come," Leon stood and began to walk to the door to leave the Captains Quarters. "We have a destination."8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0yaPh45kE
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HKYgyQWyM
Quickly Eileen smiled and followed Leon out of the room and down some stairs until they came out to the deck where everyone was awaiting lazily. At the sight of Leon, all stood slowly, awaiting the news that were to come.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aVs6x0ZYK
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0KzX4TuyX
"Where have you been?"8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0ygLpcKE
"It's been days Leon!"
Multiple individuals began to shout their frustrations.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO35L7lAeZ
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOdMMnp6Lh
"I understand, you guys are upset. You left any chance at freedom or what freedom you could have at all to partake in this Forever Journey," Leon began. Aida, Dulgit, and Hawk moved through the crowd to the front at this point. "I have been... hopeless. I won't lie to all of you, I wasn't sure where to go from here. Thanks to Eileen, and the rest of you for not giving up, I have figured out Kais' original plan."8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidB8CdQcW
Cheers began to spread throughout the crowd at the sound of this. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpJaQlWuww

"Our home will be the forbidden ruins of Anucis! But first, we must travel to the Outer Waters in search of a place called the Peak of Huwin. It is said there is an Artifact which will show us the entrance to the true Forgotten World! Home of the Eternal Alliance!"8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRta12E4zBw
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg5XmVx2VS
Cheers spread all throughout at this point, everyone excited at what is to come. 8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8yWyTdlN

"Aida, Dulgit, Hawk, and Eileen. Meet me back in the Captains Quarters as soon as possible to further discuss where we are headed," Leon stated beneath the crowds roar.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2kBDvk6Ek
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7szj2d7ppw
The four of them nod before heading inside and up to where they were directed to go.
'Kai, we will succeed. You led us here, we will continue. Forever Journey my brother.'
