Meanwhile, making their way back home had been an easy affair for Calypso and Aurelia. After a fair bit of traveling, they finally reached the border between Ebodia and Cordon. It didn't take them as long as the first time they passed through there on their journey, but that didn't mean that everything from there on would be smooth sailing.
Indeed. Right when they least expected it, they found themselves ambushed by the worst group of people that they could've ever imagined would try and get them. Truly, fate had it in for them as Calypso cursed his atrocious luck.
[It's not your fault they came here, you know,] Axel pointed out.
[I know, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have been careful,] Calypso inwardly growled. [They could've gotten the jump on us! I wouldn't have even caught them coming if it weren't for the downwind helping me pick up their scent!]
