Back Home

Rae woke Karl as they approached the city across the lake just before dawn.

[I think that we're going to land soon. We talked about it while you were asleep, and we want to come out and be welcomed with you.]

Karl chuckled. [I don't see a reason why not, as long as there is space.]

Rae seemed excessively happy with that answer, and Karl wondered what she had in mind and how badly it was going to terrify the locals.

Fortunately for Rae's plan, someone had notified the media that they were coming, and there were dozens of press members, bleary-eyed politicians who had been dragged out of bed before the crack of dawn and corporate reps waiting in a large field for their arrival.

[Oh, that will be perfect.] Rae cheered.

Karl refreshed his armour and got a new version in black with a Darklight Host Tabard under a blued steel chest plate. It was almost knightly, if you ignored the part where everything but the chest was leather and chitin or cloth.
