The Eventful Expedition

Page 44 - Into Grouda Capital

On the morning of 9/2 we're taken into the capital by a camera drone that shows the main entrance. The drone then pans throughout the Capital showing the post and military station by the entrance. Next is the huge market used for trade and goods for the nation. Heading west we're now shown beautiful plantations, huge fields for cattle, and iron factories. There's another military station located by the iron factories only much bigger, the Northern Entrance which has a route to the Grouda Prison is here as well. Lastly we're shown the village areas which area completely rural. Broken homes along with starving citizens even with the very lushful plantations and Cattle the Capital has.

Keifer, Devin, Joseph, and their captors are just entering the Capital walls now

Keifer says, "Huh looks nice so far."

Elvens says, "Well if you're able to see the rest of it you'll think otherwise."

Keifer looks a bit puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Elvens opens the carrier and says, "Eh it doesn't matter." He grabs Keifer and tosses him on the ground outside.

"Oof" Keifer says as hits the ground. He says, "Ow what the hell?"

Elvens says, "You're still a criminal the way the government sees it. Nothing personal I know you kids are good guys, but world doesn't see it that way."

Elvens closes the carriage while Brunns picks up Keifer and takes him inside the military station while Linns joins him. Devin watches them leave and asks, "Wait what why aren't you letting us out too?"

Elvens laughs, "Oh c'mon Mr.Prince you know we wouldn't keep such dangerous men together, and he's being held here since his execution is coming up soon. I hope you and your crew will be able to do something about it."

Joe replies, "Oh don't you worry we'll all make it out of this."

"Yea, don't you underestimate us!" Devin adds

Elvens chuckles at Joe. Darryl and Jared walk up, Darryl asks, "Well what do we do now?"

Elvens turns to them and says, "Well your mission here is done. You guys can do whatever you want I don't really care, and since you're not actually apart of the military you don't need to report to anyone."

"Huh, never really thought this far." Darryl says. He then turns to Jared and asks, "Well what do you want to do next."

Jared looks at the post and then at the carriage. He quietly says, "We should leave this land soon. We can go visit that Pirate Paradise you're always talking about."

"You mean Luto?!" Darryl asks excitedly, "Yes! Let's leave right now!. He takes off toward the main entrance.

Jared sighs and says to Elvens, "It was nice working with you. I hope to do so again in the future."

Elvens smiles and says, "Same here."

Jared leaves to chase after Darryl. Elvens starts up the carriage and leaves while the camera takes us inside the military station that Keifer was taken into.

When Brunns and Linns walk in all the military men inside stand up and salute them. Brunns says, "At ease men." He throws Keifer on the ground
