At Jade's western gates, Ash arrived with the others to find that there were more vehicles than she'd expected. She didn't know how many she thought there would b exactly, but this felt surprising. Twenty carts, each one with some horses and groups of nobles or soldiers on them, all ready to leave for Pearl, and with more empty carts waiting on the side. She'd known this would be a massive undertaking, but seeing all of this made it feel more real.
Eh, she calmed down. At the end of the day, to me, it's all about fighting a few monsters. Just another day on the job.
One of the carts featured three individuals wearing black training outfits like Keiko's own, which let Ash know those were probably the people her grandmother had told Keiko to watch over. Looking to her side, Keiko was eyeing them up analytically, before a couple of guards moved over to them.
"Saviors, this way," he said, before giving them a short bow.
