There was a vast clearing in the forest and there a camp hid. This was the camp of hope and aspirations. The humans who guarded it were anything but, however.
"Hey, things have been pretty quiet huh?" Bede asked Stuart who was perched on a wall.
Stuart was not atop any wall however, it was the wall of their base, Aspiration. His purpose of being atop such a tall structure looking out into the horizon was obvious. Or at least could be easily inferred.
He was waiting for someone or something.
There were not going to be any real signs of the youngsters they sent off for a while but Stuart still felt uneasy.
"We should install one of those space magic communicators or whatever…" Stuart said exasperated from the boring routine days in the dungeon.
"You know the dungeon's spatial interference wouldn't allow it" Bede said in response. Stuart didn't say much from there.
