Dilemma

Upon Alex's orders, the ship began moving out immediately. They wasted no time and left the capital, flying toward the eastern ocean.

The ship carried with it everyone injured and weak. As for the remaining people, they began flying themselves.

The beasts as well as the others that were from the Eastern Continent began flying back toward their home, perhaps to hide there or to take away their family and go hide. 

As everyone began leaving, Alex, Hannah, and the rest were the last ones to leave.

Hannah looked toward Long Huan and her mother and helped them move from the area. As she did, she turned out to look back toward Alex who kept staring toward the Dragon Emperor who was ready for the first bolt of lightning.

Pearl was beside him, looking toward the Dragon Emperor all the same.

"Alex?" Hannah called out to him, confused. "What are you doing? We need to leave."
