/13/: A Plan

***

Meanwhile in the same time, there's some other people in the shadow of the Reverie do another duty. Far away from the King's land and in the edge of sector two there's bunch of people meeting under the moonlight with only fire and small camp in small house. The cold breeze didn't stop them to keep moving because the have their own purpose in their life.

"So, now they knew who we are?"

There's an intense situation inside this small house with just few people in it. The fire was the only light in that house and maybe in the area. "No, they didn't know yet. But soon they'll know."

An old man hear that word and nodded slowly, "Hmmm okay. So Johnathan got the first move huh?" He talked with deep voice, "Now, prepare for the final operation!"

It's only few hours before the sun fully set and the moon start rising, Johnathan rushed through the Ellia's bar because he knew that everyone would be there, but he got the terrible felling. The snow falling down slowly with the city light started to light up, the wind also didn't go wild like few others days but somehow Johnathan didn't feel calm at all. 'It's just like calm before the storm.' That's what he had in his mind but he wanted to get rid of it.

Just few more meters he got to Ellia's bar he saw Kenric and Maximus also wanted to go. They bright and cheer like usual, it's made him calm a little bit. "Hey, guys!" He shouted to them and both of them turned with a big smile.

"You good John?" Kenric was the one notice something weird about Johnathan.

"Maybe," He was hesitated to told them about what happen. Johnathan sighed and look at the snow poured down, 'God I wish I have right decision.' "Look, there's something I want to tell you guys. I hope I'm wrong with this one."

"What is it?" Maximus was the one with the quick reaction because he felt something bad would come. Johnathan is calm guy and if he didn't look calm like this, Maximus knew something terrible happen with him. It's become intense and three of them were standing in the middle of the street looked at the dark skies come and the city light up. Beautiful scene but with sad story for three of them.

"Do you guys remember Edmund story, when he said his friends been killed?"

Both of them nodded, "Okay, and you guys remember Edmund said he just know one person among those guys?"

Kenric answered first, "Yes, the head chief, right?"

Johnathan silent for a moment. Now he remember talked to guard that turned out to be the head chief was a mistake, and big mistake. "Now what happen John? You really freak us out right now!" Maximus still wanted to know the truth.

"I was walking in the wall maria today and I dig some information from one person, and it turns out to be the head chief. I don't know if that's the same person in Edmund story but if he's the same person then…"

"Then our operation is fuck up!" Kenric spoke up first before Johnathan finish his line. And Johnathan just silence with his stupidity, they knew it should be cover tightly because Arthur also hadn't got the permission to lunch an operation.

"That's fine John, it didn't change the situation. We know Arthur have a meeting today, and let assume that the person you talk to is the head chief. The first thing we should do is look for Edmund, I'll look for Edmund and you go look for Arthur. Max, you get our armour and weapon, let's prepare for the worst case." Kenric was the one who got the situation fast.

"Good, I'll go" "Max already rushes to find their weapon, and Arthur nodded. He knew he needed to report to Arthur about the situation. Johnathan felt that Kenric got a point, no need to think about the situation that already happened. He needed to moved on even though it would be the end of his life, he felt very responsible for this one.

"Thanks guys," Johnathan said that when all of them separate to did their own things.

"Save it for later John," Kenric smiled while moved away from him. Maximus also waved good bye to him. Johnathan also smiled and still stood in the middle of the street knowing that his friends always been there for him. 'I love you guys,' He laughed a little then walked to Ellia's bar because he had some kind of felt that Arthur would be there even before the bar open.

Johnathan suddenly opened the door when Arthur and Ellia were on intense conversation when come in. But everything changed when both of them look at his face, Johnathan looked different from usual, Arthur and Ellia knew it. His eyes didn't bright like usual, his eyes showed anxiety. It's really obvious in his eyes, "Jhon…" Arthur the first one to talk and he talked with serious tone.

"Are you alright?" Ellia lowered the tension over there because he didn't want to see Johnathan pressured there.

John walked in with his head look down at the floor, he didn't dare to see Arthur and Ellia eyes. "Sorry, I made a mistake…"

Both of them were looking and Johnathan tried to explain the situation. "Ell, grab him a drink." Arthur tried to make Johnathan felt comfortable before he started. After one glass of whisky John explained all of the story with fear and guilty in his heart. Luckily, Arthur understood about the situation, "It's okay John…Sooner or later this situation will happen too, now we just need to focus with this problem and raise our guard." Arthur responded wisely. Right at that moment Maximus, Kenric and Edmund arrived at the bar.

"Now, we're all here…" Arthur stood up and look at every people in the room. "Ell, don't open the bar. I also want to explain how my meeting went, but first we needed to close the window and heads up to every possibility because this isn't good news."

Arthur said it with full of confident and also awareness. Now, he had a lot of scene and possibility in his head but he just prepared with the worst possibility. He held his sword with both hand and stamped it downside between his feet. "Now, as your commander I will in charge with this operation!"
