Messenger Birds

After the past few days of their stay, Benny and the others had fallen in love with Alterra. 

And this made their imminent departure that much more heartbreaking. 

However, they still knew they were sent here because they asked to—because they wanted to see what the 'main territory' was like. 

Sadly, now they had seen it, they didn't want to leave. 

Anyway, as reluctant as they were, responsibility and duty still emerged over temptation (they were real men). 

After all, they would be the mainstays in Limestone Valley, with some of the original members of the Terran Mercenary team assisting with their leveling until they hired aborigines who could do so in their stead. 

Benny didn't bother hiding his reluctance though and Sammy, an old friend, patted his shoulder. "Relax. Limestone Valley is now part of Alterra. Just wait for it to change positively under us. Besides, maybe they already improved things while you were here."
