Phase Four:

Outskirts of Hanam Haven (The Boundary of the Wind)

Caden considered himself to be good at his job. He was a warrior, but the days of all out battle were over for the most part. He was a Joutlen, and no one wanted to come after his people anymore, so they dedicated themselves to taking care of the others around them. There was always some criminal or mercenary who thought they were good enough to wipe an entire race out of existence without even thinking about it, and his kind like to stop them before they got very far.

It was a thankless job sometimes. Many of the races were bitter about needing help, and they liked to pretend like they could do it all on their own. Like they had never needed the warriors to step in in the first place.

But people like Caden knew better, and there was a thrill that came with being able to help them. There was also the thrill that came with finding someone who was truly appreciative of his help. Like the woman who was currently clinging to him.

“Calm down,” Caden said, voice soft as he brushed fingers through her hair. Another Abalessi, which was honestly a very large coincidence because it was so rare to see them so often, especially if one wasn’t in a pleasure house.

This one was different from Corinth in nearly every way possible. Where Corinth had been lithe and dark, this woman was pale and had thicker curves. Her face was streaked with tears, and she had her fingers clenched tightly in the sleeve of Caden’s tunic. Her eyes were fearful, and Caden tried his best to soothe her so he could take her statement.

“I can’t,” she said, and her accent sounded like it came from one of the borderland planets near the asteroid belt, unless he was much mistaken. “You didn’t see them! Great horrible things they were.”

“What were they?” Caden asked. “Can you tell me what you saw?” He kept stroking her hair, and she leaned in even closer to him, her breath tremulous and warm against the skin of his shoulder.

“I...I can try,” she said. “I’m from Glifton-Three.”

Caden nodded. He was familiar with it, certainly. It was one of the five planets that were on the boundary of the Elemental Planet of wind. The wind elemental warriors and those that depended on them for protection considered the people of the Glifton-Five to be their allies. They protected each other and the five planets served as watchtowers to let the wind warriors know when danger was coming.

Judging from the smoking wreck that Caden had pulled this woman out of, he was guessing there had been plenty of danger.

“We were...we were taking our shifts at the towers,” she continued. “I was with my mentor, Ipsen, and we were standing on the tower wall, watching. And then...and then…” She shook her head and seemed to gather herself together, leaning back to meet his eyes. “Creatures came.”

It was hardly specific, and Caden frowned.
