Keeping Your Word

Naturally, Zane was faster than word could spread. The guy could travel faster than sound after all. Although he seldom liked to do so because breaking the sound barrier caused a lot of noise and would thus bring him a lot of attention. Still, mach 1 was at 767 miles per hour, so if he travelled at 766 miles per hour he was in the clear.

And besides, sprinting at 766 miles per hour, across a distance of less than 50 miles away from the settlement was a damn near instant sprint. Because of that, he ended up right in front of his destination before he even broke a sweat.

Once Zane was standing in front of the settlement, the guards immediately recognized him. He had only been there a day at the most, and yet it was a kind of difficult to forget such a distinctive-looking human being. Especially if he was a foreigner, who nobody had seen around these parts in years.
