Kastilo had been left under the supervision of highly trusted magic guards. Right now it was decided that Flynn and Kyra needed to gauge the situation with the Council. After everything that happened before her presence might come as a shock to everyone. 

So in the meantime, Kyra and Flynn went off to Sata. They were in search of Flynn's twin brother, Alex. The two, in truth, looked nothing alike. Alex had pale blond hair and Flynn's was chocolate brown. Flynn had green eyes and Alex's were blue. One took after their mother, the other their father.

And their four younger siblings had taken the initial of their father, unlike Flynn. On Atlas it was a tradition to name children using the initial of one of the parents. Most commonly it was the father, unless the mother came from a wealthier family. In this case, twins were named with one of each. Because Flynn looked more like his mother, he took her initial.

They didn't talk much of their parents, and Alex was the only one who went and visited their younger siblings. Sata's capital, Fenrir, was always busy, but today seemed particularly quiet. Although it was still early in the morning there was usually more people out and about.

Kyra landed and they stepped out of the hangar, going towards the main office for the Emperor's Knights of Sata. The complex was multi-level, built like a skyscraper to account for the growth around it. As they stepped into the building Flynn walked up to the main desk. He glanced at the woman their, reading her nametag, then saying, "Officer Turner, we're here for Lieutenant Baneswolf."

"He's busy at the moment, dealing with a group who broke curfew, I'll page him if you want."

"That would be great, tell him his brother is here."

Turner smiled, then grabbed a comm link. As she spoke into it Flynn turned around, leaning against the counter, speaking in a whisper to Kyra, "Must be one of his friends if he's dealing with someone breaking curfew."

Kyra didn't get a chance to respond as none other than Alex Baneswolf spotted them, "Flynn?"

"Alex.", Flynn replied, slightly amused.

"What are you-", Alex glanced at the both of them, "why are you here?"

"We're reassembling the Council. It's time.", Flynn stated bluntly.

Alex stood in disbelief, "You're serious? Already?"

"Dead serious," Kyra said.

Alex sighed, "Fantastic."

Jake jumped over another row of crates as he tried to avoid the Law. If he could make it a few more minutes he'd be in the clear.

"Stop right now!"

"Not on your life!", Jake shouted back.

He managed to glance back, seeing the Officers a few rows behind him. He laughed, smirking as he knew he had them. As he turned to face forward he tripped over a row of crates. He yelped as his body did an entire flip, landing on the other side.

A small trail of blood came from his arm, as he had scraped it against the crate. His head spun and he was forced to stay put, because his vision was swimming. At some point the guards caught up with him, and now had their guns aimed at him. In most towns, it wasn't a big deal to break curfew. Except Fenrir tended to attract a lot of Crime Lords.

Jake, of course, wasn't one, he was actually trying to stop them. He raised his hands, and one of the guards said, "Identification."

Jake weakly smiled, "I left it at home, whoops?"
