Just like that, unbeknownst to Lucy... her life was targeted.
She was to be a sacrifice!
But, she remained clueless.
And soon, the ships were just about to dock in Baymard.
Mission complete.
Over the days, even though the boy Rankin had been very silent, he had nonetheless gradually opened up, getting close to Lucy and the 2 soldiers who stayed with him in the cave the most.
The 5-year-old Rankin was utterly stunned by the crazy ship he rode on. Everything was so strange, new and bizarre.
He had heard of some of the strange things in Baymard before when his uncle (hidden guard) was still alive.
But he brushed those things off and did his best to mind his business, knowing that he might never see the place in his lifetime.
However, fate had a funny way of playing with people.
These Baymardians had rescued him out of the blue.
