Two days later, the beautiful lights of Njomon could be seen in the far-off distance. A small knock from Kai's door could be heard as he found himself sitting at a desk within his room. 66Please respect copyright.PENANAlS4z8TS6ix
"Come in," he spoke.66Please respect copyright.PENANAKTvz7vxSub
The door opened before shutting quietly as permission was granted. 66Please respect copyright.PENANAksMlLdxF26
"Njomon looks amazing at this time of night," a soft voice entered.66Please respect copyright.PENANAPKR2ulGJBM
Kai found his eyes averting away from his map of the Scarfil Expanse and up to the individual standing before him. Blue, sleek hair braided to reveal her worried face. Her blue eyes darted shyly to the ground.66Please respect copyright.PENANA8FdjlcuLCi
"Aida," Kai spoke." I wasn't expecting you here, how have things been on the ship?"66Please respect copyright.PENANAmteLXJqsIH
"They would be better if you'd come out of this room once in a while."66Please respect copyright.PENANAuSS6eyl34O
Her response shocked Kai but was also true. Kai had spent most of their week-long journey locked away. He tried not to look as astonished when he replied.66Please respect copyright.PENANAwjvjGeN6Bh
"Did you know the biggest thing I've been missing up until now was a Booster? This adventure is something I've dreamt of for years, but first I had to manifest this boat's existence for this moment right now. The true beginning of our Journey. We were fortunate that it was at Caecis when it was."66Please respect copyright.PENANAB6k2qNuYbF
"We were indeed," Aida said in return.66Please respect copyright.PENANAA3zIsPcfjz
"No matter where I am, I have to fight through every obstacle. So, being confined in here seems to be my best option at focusing to plan out our future as Faerlu."66Please respect copyright.PENANAJYR7ZhTDZO
"Do you enjoy sparring?" Aida asked randomly.66Please respect copyright.PENANA3uFbQ8AD6m
"Of course, but why-,"Kai began to question before being cut off.66Please respect copyright.PENANA1UcLFi8VIj
"Assuming because I am a woman that I can't fight?"66Please respect copyright.PENANAFcuL2CMtEx
"No, no-," Kai started.66Please respect copyright.PENANAFVamxMJEEC
"I'm kidding. I only ask so that after Portam is finished with some more weapons, I'll know who my sparring partner will be."66Please respect copyright.PENANAdZALGDZTJD
"Um, sure. But I warn you, I'm a master at my craft," Kai smirked.66Please respect copyright.PENANAd0jEsdhI05
Aida turned to leave, speaking once more.66Please respect copyright.PENANAZ28LKIFeWI
"Our home will come to you Kai, stop searching the map and let it come to you," with that she left the room. 66Please respect copyright.PENANAAnUWZLDwZY
Kai glanced down to the map, his eyes searching over it for quite a while longer before folding it and returning it to a drawer within his desk.66Please respect copyright.PENANA6CII7B9l7K
"It's about time, we will prove them all wrong starting now," he whispered to himself.
