Chapter 186 - Chapter 186 A Destroyed Bridge Ambush

As the sun rose Scarlett walked over to Thomas and woke him as she said "There next town is connected to the ocean, Lily wants to go bust her father." Thomas stared at Scarlett and asked "Is this a dream to?" Scarlett stared at him confused and said "I'm not sure what you mean but we're all getting ready to leave." As Thomas stood up he immediately fell over and mumbled "Oh right, I only fixed my balance in the dream." Scarlett stared at him and asked "Are you alright?" Thomas glanced at her and asked "Can you just put me in the cart?" Scarlett nodded and said "Of course." As she set him in the cart on the floor she said "The others will get into the cart shortly." Thomas stared at the roof of the cart and mumbled "It'll be a while before my balance fixes itself." Thomas sat up and used the seat to help him stand as he peer out the window and said "Legs just cooperate for five minutes." As he leaned towards the window he fell onto the seat in front of him and sat down on it as he mumbled "This isn't working to well for me." As he looked out of the window Scarlett and Ceil walked past it to the front of the cart and the others got in. As they entered the cart Lily stared at Thomas and said "We're gonna go bust my dad!" Thomas stared at her and asked "How are we gonna explain the various other people we joined up with?" Peri stared at him and smiled as she said "Leave it to us to all tell our own stories and how we've come to travel with you." Thomas stared at her and said "Before we worry about that I should probably think of way to explain why I had a bounty on me for a while." Lily stared at him and said "It's only because you crashed a royal wedding." Thomas stared at her and said "That's exactly the issue, I have no real way of explaining it because he doesn't know Daisy, so I'll have to explain her and why she's no longer traveling with us." Mira stared at Thomas and said "I'd be happy to help explain it." Thomas stared at her and said "That wouldn't really work, you'd have to have been there during the wedding." Ocis stared at Thomas and said "Well it's easy to explain me." Thomas stared at her and said "Let me guess, I'm his future wife?" Ocis nodded and said "See even you know the story by now." Thomas pointed at Poppy and asked "How am I gonna explain you?" Poppy stared at Thomas and said "Actually it would be best if left explanations to me!" Thomas stared at her and said "Well I guess you were there since the beginning, actually I've known you longer then anyone, or at least I think." Poppy nodded and said "I'm pretty sure I can have it all explained in ten minutes or less." Thomas stared at her and said "Well be my guest." Lily stared at Thomas and said "Your worrying to much just relax." Thomas stared at her and said "You do realize that if I screw up or something he'll probably tell you to zap me." Lily stared at him and said "Your pretty used to the electric by now." Thomas stared at her and said "But the shock keeps getting stronger." Lily stared at him and said "If it didn't get stronger you'd just ignore it." After talking for a while the cart stopped. Thomas glanced out the window and seen Rose standing there as he asked "Are we there already?" Rose glanced at him and said "Unfortunately no, there was a valley up ahead and the bridge broke." Thomas sighed and said "Just when I though we'd catch a small break and get a nice relaxing trip." Thomas climbed out of the cart and stumbled towards the cliff as he mumbled "Let's see what we're working with." Thomas glanced down at the broken stone supports of the bridge and mumbled "I can either bridge the gap or teleport us all over." Scarlett stared at Thomas and asked "What are we gonna do?" Thomas stood there and smelled the air as he asked "Option one or two?" Scarlett stared at him confused and said "Option one?" Thomas put his hand down on the ground and mumbled "The bridge was blown up." As the land stretched out to the other side and latched down on the supports Thomas stood up and said "I can still smell whatever they used to blow it up, so it was probably recent." Thomas jumped on top of the cart and said "I'm gonna sit up here for a while." Rose stared at Thomas and asked "Do you think they might've blown it up on accident?" Thomas shook his head and said "It's unlikely, they most likely did it in hopes of slowing someone down." Thomas glanced behind them and said "Right on queue." As three other wagons followed them Thomas glanced at Rose and said "It was likely meant to stop merchants so the thief's could kill them and take their merchandise." As a blast of fire destroyed one of the carts Thomas stared at it and said "Nope they completely destroyed it." Thomas turned around and said "Maybe they're delivering a special person and they brought the extra carts to bring people to protect the person." Mira stared at the burning cart and asked "Aren't we gonna do anything?" Thomas glanced at her and said "I don't think they're after us but I suppose we could." Ceil glanced up at Thomas and shouted "If we're gonna help them we should do it now!" Thomas sighed and said "Alright, but just remember I can hardly walk in a straight line." As the cart stopped again another one of the carts that was following them was stopped completely by a huge chunk of ice that appeared out of thin air. As the cart stopped Mira climbed out of the cart and said "I should be enough to stop them." Thomas stared at her and said "Alright, I'm sure one of us will step in if you need help." Rose glanced at Mira and said "I can help you if you'd like." Mira glanced at her and said "It's fine I should be able to beat them." As Mira walked towards the carts two men jumped out from beneath the newly formed bridge and shouted "Halt." Thomas stared at them and mumbled "Two people with magic." Mira stared at them and asked "Why are you attacking these carts?" The two men glanced at each other and then back at her as they shouted "The noble in these carts has costed us greatly, and we're here to repay the favor, so mind your own business." Mira raised her hand towards the men and said "Unfortunately I can't do that, I already told my friends that I would deal with you." As a boy climbed out of the cart he nervously asked "What do you want?" The two men glanced at the boy and said "We're not gonna hurt you, not yet anyway." Mira glanced at the boy and said "These two men came to kill you, run while you can." The boy took a few steps back and nervously asked "But why?" One of the men began to walk towards the boy as he said "You don't need to worry about the why, just know that we're about to hold you hostage and make a big pay off of your ransom." Thomas yawned as he said "Some noble screwed over the wrong people." Rose glanced at Thomas and asked "Aren't you gonna help the boy?" Thomas pointed at Mira and said "Just Wait a minute, she wanted a chance she got one." As the other climbed out of the cart they stared at Mira and asked "Do you think she'll be able to win." Thomas stood up and fell off the top of the cart as he said "She should be fine." As he stood up he held his head and mumbled "I forgot about my own balance." Thomas glanced at the others and said "She'll definitely give them a run for their money." Mira continued to aim her hand at them as she said "Let the boy go and leave this place and neither of you shall be harmed." The two men stared at her and said "Some girl in a pose isn't gonna be enough to threaten us." Both of the men held their hands towards her as they said "We'll make you a better offer, if you leave here and keep your mouth shut we won't even lay a finger on you." Thomas glanced at the others and said "If anything goes wrong one of you should step in." Ocis stared at Thomas and cheerfully said "Alright." Thomas glanced at her and said "That message was for everyone not just you." Ocis nodded and said "Right."
