The Caeruleum Martial Tournament was the most important event for both House Vanzano and Guild Letalis Serpentis. Thus, the caravan was quite large, consisting of nearly all active Invictus members, all the members of Team Athena, and a dozen Letalis members that had earned the right to a short reprieve from training.
What surprised Tycondrius, however, was that Lieutenant Shao Ran of the Sea Wolves had chosen to also come along. As the Head Combat Instructor of Guild Letalis, the man had every right to do so.
However, it was... odd, concerning the fact that the city of Caeruleum was hundreds of malms inland.
"Brother-Ran..." Tycon forced a smile, "Tell me again why you are... here."
"Ahaha... haha..." Ran laughed. "Sorry, what? I wasn't listening. You know how it is, haha... long trip! Longest voyage of my life, even."
