7 Exodus pt 3

After we got done talking to Kelly we proceeded to inspect the vehicle that I had left here about three years ago, on the outside it looks like a typical civilian medium transport typically designed for hauling small amounts of cargo, but that's just camouflage, on the inside was comfortable small space similar to what you'd find in a small apartment, it had two cots a small kitchenette simple bathroom, with an individual standing shower and a table for meals. The kitchenette toilet and shower were powered by Magic stones to produce water and fire. Likewise our transport was also armored discreetly as its appearance was still that of a civilian transport it also had a few defensive armaments such as a smoke and flare launcher and an anti-personnel Gatling laser on the roof which would would have to be deployed externally to be used. Thankfully there are benefits to having a wealthy family that produces weapons for a living it took me six months to put this together and I prayed I'd never have to use it. I should have known better praying never got me anywhere.

well I did a full diagnostic before you got here everything is ready and raring to go this thing's a beast where to get it.

I built it from the ground up.

Kelly's Jaws left open wide gasping like a fish out of water.

WHAT!!!..you had skills like that and you worked here why.

I shrug....my family likes to make weapons I don't so I decided to leave. Never thought I had to go back but when Twilight came into my life I had had no choice but to return my family I didn't know how to raise a infant let alone make enough money to support us here.

you told me you were a runaway Noble but not much else. Don't tell me you're part of the royal family they're the only ones that make weapons in the human Kingdom.

What...No..no I'm the second eldest of house Rediron my family makes weapons for the Duren kingdom thare based in the Dwarven capital.

dwarves huh is that why you're so stoic all the time the stick up your ass.

SIGH....I do not have a stick up my ass thank you very much...we better get going thank you for everything....I'm a..guna miss you. I know I haven't been a good friend to you and I'm sorry.

I say with tears in my eyes.

don't apologize I know how much of an introvert you are and stop crying going to make me cry you know I can't handle it I'm gonna miss you too especially that stick up your ass.. slight chuckle.. Now give me a hug and message me when you're safe.

I will I promise.

I hugged Kelly my best and only friend in the 30 years I've lived. Deep in my heart I'm afraid I'll never see her again but something tells me that's not the case at least I hope it's not and who knows in this world full of magic and science full of gods and demons just maybe anything's possible. I said my goodbyes and set the autopilot on course for the Shadow Dominion border. I chosen a AI driver because I was unsure if my face was known to the church the military or whoever else would have been chasing us when I made this transport. It should get us through most checkpoints and since the transport is marked with the Royal seal of Duren it should be exempt from any inspections but just in case that's why I had weapons installed as well as a few small arms just in case. It'll take about five days at this transports speed to reach the Border I pray nothing else happens along the way but I guess we'll find out.

3 days into the trip and Twilight's hardly said a word to me and I'm more than a little concerned I've tried talking to her about what's happening and where we're going cuz everytime I try she just Tunes me out as if she's lost or something. I see her with this blank expression on her face and it just breaks my heart she's always been a shy and timid girl with a bit of an adventurous streak but since we left she's just seem so vacant and I don't know what to do I only hope that once we get across the border and we get ourselves settled that she'll start acting like herself again.

(Twilight's prospective)

We left home and Mommy took us to this really loud lady. It took us three days to get there and I was so bored and we had to hide in this cramped box in the back of the car. She and Mommy seem to be friends but the loud lady seemed to be annoyed with Mommy. I was really tired and then I heard the loud lady yell at Mommy and it scared me enough that I started to cry but I was still so tired and I ended up falling back to sleep in mommy's arms. When I woke up I heard a strange voice it was a whisper in my head at first I was scared but the voice was so pretty she told me about the new home we were going to and the people I was going to meet she said that they might scare me at first but they'll be there to help me, make me stronger. I don't really want to be stronger but the voice says that I need to be that's something scary was going to happen and I needed to be ready for it. I didn't really understand what she was saying but it sounded important so I promised I would try my best. Mommy's tried talking to me too but it's so hard to hear her I feel like she's so far away I'm really sleepy I think I'm going to go to sleep.
