Chapter 11 – Travels

There was no opposition to them leaving Paragon, and it wasn’t surprising considering few knew who they were. If anyone did, they would jeer and laugh, wondering what a band of misfits were doing inquiring about the Sorcerers. It was foolish, and at best, a waste of time.

A young Sage, a warrior, a tailor, a mechanic, a farmer, and whatever Remi was supposed to be. This was the hope of Paragon. This was what the King was staking his land’s future on, and the notion was as ridiculous as the mission itself.

But Remi didn’t care.

She was no longer alone.

And with that, came a whole new host of responsibilities.

For now, if she did find a hostile human weapon or one of the Sorcerers, there were lives under her care that weren’t her own. And how was she going to protect them? How was she going to ensure that they didn’t get captured like Kace had been? If one of them died, how was she going to convince the rest to keep moving forward?

They all had their reasons for being there, and it wasn’t necessarily because of Remi. Milo wanted to get away, Ian wanted to pursue new ventures and forage for new materials. Harlan was looking for someone. Eckard would go wherever Olivia went, and Olivia herself? Why, she was the most unreliable of them all, for as soon as she got the opportunity, Remi was sure she would leave for greener pastures. But yet, she knew that she could get a lot further with her close by. She was a traitor, but she was also a valuable ally, and that both calmed and scared her.

She wondered if the Sorcerers would offer Olivia something in exchange for Remi. It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.

“Has the beam gotten larger?” Harlan asked. Remi lifted her head to see Olivia at the front of the group, raising the red shard high over her head.

“Can’t you see it from back there?” she snapped.

“No,” Harlan retorted. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked.”

“We should stop for food soon,” Ian laughed. “Everyone’s getting grumpy.”

“It has been twelve hours,” Milo yawned. “And I feel like my arm is going to pop out of its socket.”

“No one said you had to put a corpse in that suitcase.”

“Yeah, but it keeps me company,” Milo said, sticking his tongue out.

“You guys are getting weird again,” Harlan stated as Olivia let her arm down.

“Let’s stop,” she said. “It’s not like we’re going to reach our destination tonight.”

“You sure here is good?” Milo asked. “In the middle of a dense forest at night?”

“It’s fine here,” Ian said. “Not many nocturnal beasts. You’ll get bit up by bugs though. I would keep your face covered as much as possible.”

“Great,” Milo said, throwing his suitcase down. “I knew I should have packed a tent.”

“I’ll start a fire,” Harlan said. “Anyone want to help me gather some wood?”

“I will,” Eckard said. Olivia raised an eyebrow as she watched her boy toy walk off.

“Well, that’s surprising,” Olivia said, sitting down in the crunchy grass.
