104 Open Arms

An extremely dented blue bus arrived in front of the Sixth Station.

A sandstorm had made it impossible to cross the Great North Path that they needed to make it to the Sixth Station in time. Just like most things in life, the Furnace was unpredictable. A few of the roads that had been paved by the Founders using Ki had gotten completely decimated, which made it even harder to travel along their chosen path.
