It was finally 9 P.M, and the entire island was already submerged into complete darkness.
"Captain Wayne!"
"Yes sir!"
"You will stay on the island alongside the rest of the soldiers, and guard the ship.... as well as protect these slaves.
Also... if we don't arrive in 9 days' time at most, prepare for an emergency search and rescue immediately.
Since you're in charge, I trust that you'll be able to pick your own second in command from the Lot."
"Yes sir!"
"Good!.... now the rest of you, get ready for take-off!"
"Yes sir!!" The others replied in unison.
.
'Vruuu!'
The balloon ascended into the heavens, which utterly shocked the slaves.
"Oh my heavens!
You see, I told you that they were Gods!"
"Ahhhh!..... look!.. look! They are getting smaller and smaller as they ascend.
Is that normal?"
