"Look, we'll be fine, Z," said Jue Zhu, "no one's going to abuse our powers or send us into some suicide mission trap. Because if they do, we'll make 'em pay. Right?"
"Heh, I guess I see your point. All right, so be it."
The Boatman cleared his throat. "Anyway, feel free to rest here on this shore for now. Once your Bing Hei gets here, I'll need a few hours to bring your Sacred Beasts over."
It was about another hour before Bing Hei reached the shore. He looked chagrined at being the last of us to make it, but only for a moment. He shrugged it off, saying, "I guess it's to be expected, since I rely a lot on minion master style. I'll work more on myself and have less difficulty next time, count on it."
"So," I said, once we gathered around together, sitting down but not planning to bother making a fire, "what's the plan, Jue Zhu?"
