The Creature Arc
The night of the festival - Zone Seven
Selena snuck away from the Sisters once more. This time, sprinting her way to a soldier passing by.
The man was Soldier Rogu, who had previously spoken to Thorne and Ratchet. He stood at 5'8 and had a goatie. Also holding the acception of being the youngest soldier in the rebellion. At only 17 years of age.
Selena began to bombard her, as she does...
"So do you get a cool nickname or a weapon set? How's the pay? Did you meet the General?"
"Heh, you're a talkative one aren't you?"
"Just answer my questions please".
"The pay is horrendous, but I enjoy the work. Knowing I might make a difference keeps me sane. The weapon thing, no. We get what we get. It's kinda based on how we score on our admission. That, and our status. Royalty gets better for sure. Besides that, well. I've met the General, he's a tough guy. But- he's also a good man. He wants what's best for the people of the rebellion, the cathedral. And hopefully the world one day. Maybe we can make peace in the future".
"You talk a lot".
"Look who's talking, Miss what's this and what's that".
"I'm gonna be a soldier, and I'm gonna take over the Generals spot, I'll stop those bad guys".
The conversation filled Rogu with joy. A girl with the ambition of a thousand soldiers. One day she would change the world.
Blacksmith Rd. - Zone Seven
Thorne placed his hammer and equipment down, lifting the anvil to a nifty corner. And placing ratchet on his shoulders. The two made way out of their tent and towards the festival, which had finally begun. The acception of many people of the cathedral, all from vast zones. And soldiers from the outer regions. Food and music cheered them on. The drunkens and the joyfuls. If only they knew what was to come. Their scent was already being tracked...
A few days earlier...
Spark Forge, The Dead Lands
Mysterious voice...
"The spy was able to send a signal of the scent. Off of a young soldier who questioned him. Our data copied perfectly; a soldier by the name of Rogu Alchem. We know the coordinates more precisely of the cathedrals main ventilations and undergrounds. The boy never knew, a tracking device so clever it blended in like a glove".
Present...
"Just outside the main region now... Begin the attack".
