They met at the docks an hour later, Leon and Eileen arrived while carrying some of their belongings.80Please respect copyright.PENANA49JBSOuo1c
"Of course, Prime Maeral is gone along with his Booster already," Kai said.80Please respect copyright.PENANA9FG0w0ckZw
"Then we must go brother, we cannot let the remaining civilians of Catarei be enslaved," Leon replied.80Please respect copyright.PENANAMAEtnrSJDS
"What is our exact plan? Do you have one?" Kai asked seriously.80Please respect copyright.PENANAkzEs8QAqG1
"We raid Caecis, it's simple."80Please respect copyright.PENANAi4JERdlMfT
"I agree," muttered Eileen. "We cannot allow them to live out their days like that."80Please respect copyright.PENANAk0FiqNGRUm
"Alright then, let's get to the Treader," Kai stated with a grin.80Please respect copyright.PENANAXFUzWBwFIG
The three of them nodded to each other before running further down the docks to where Kai's boat sat anchored. Once aboard, they pull the anchor up and get the Treader heading back to Caecis.80Please respect copyright.PENANAMzGfQ9NIdG
"What shall we do with the ones that we save? If we save anyone," Leon questioned.80Please respect copyright.PENANALNV069BFFV
With a sigh Kai walked over to the side of the boat, staring across the endless water.80Please respect copyright.PENANApB62hkIwRX
"They can live freely in this shit version of the Scarfil Expanse. Or, they can join our Faction and help us to bring a new era," Kai answered.80Please respect copyright.PENANATsQdOuURkY
"Our Faction?" Eileen asked.80Please respect copyright.PENANAKM8ll3sYND
Leon and Eileen both stared at the back of Kai's head, and Kai remained quiet as if his silence was a good enough answer. 80Please respect copyright.PENANAPcKWtsA2UP

Three days passed as Kai pushed the Treader like he never had before, and finally, they slowly drifted as they approached the Caecis entrance. Standing around the entrance were a couple of Relnad soldiers. Two massive Boosters were docked close by as well, towering above the small mine entrance.80Please respect copyright.PENANA6x0m6SIkmD
The Treader continued drifting until it reached the docks, once there Kai and Leon began to hook the chains from the dock to the boat to hold it in place. The three of them walked slowly down the docks and closer to the entrance. Eileen was wearing a black cloak as she crept alongside the two young men. One one of her arms was a device that wrapped around her wrist and reached to her forearm. Small blades circled her arm, placed into the device like bullets would a chamber. Her weapon was known in the Expanse as a Wing. Eileen hid a small dagger sheathed at her waist as well.80Please respect copyright.PENANAUPrBPzhdAy
They were only a matter of feet away from the soldiers, Eileen aimed her Wing at them before pulling the trigger. One blade shot out from beyond the darkness she was absorbed by, taking the soldier out that it was directed towards. The Wings mechanical device could be heard rotating and locking in another blade. The second soldier drew his sword to defend against whatever waited in the shadows. 80Please respect copyright.PENANAbUTA00c8CL
With the pull of the trigger, the second soldier went down as well from a blade to the chest. 80Please respect copyright.PENANAgLSaEMJ6VM
"Hurry to the entrance," Kai said.80Please respect copyright.PENANAEc3ei1GYLh
The three of them darted across the platform and to the entrance of Caecis. The entrance consisted of a massively big metal hatch frame that linked the platform to the mine below. Pipes and other mechanisms ran around and out of the giant entrance, vacuuming the mine below so that it could be accessed with no special equipment needed. Leon crouched down and reached to the giant latch that held the entrance shut.80Please respect copyright.PENANAPEc0dJKQy5
With a great amount of strength, the latch moved to where it could be opened. Leon then grabbed the handle, pulling it with all of his strength. Wind whistled out of the opening that was revealed. All three of the friends glanced at each other, then back to the stairs at the top of the Caecus entrance. 80Please respect copyright.PENANAW0trOGDjBd
"Now we descend," Kai whispered.80Please respect copyright.PENANA9VJsIJZlD0
With a nod, they all began walking down the stairs one at a time.
