I am sleeping peacefully when I feel some Weight on my side, I open my eyes and look up at the ceiling of the cottage, I look at my side to see that Emma is hugging my side, as she sleeps, I feel her very soft silky fur, I couldn't help but brush my hand across her fur, I watch a small smile grow on her face as she sleeps, I then start Petting her head, but me and Emma need to get up, I then lightly shake her awake, I hear her moan yawn as she gets up. "Hmm~? what is it?" She says looking at me with sleepy eyes. "Sorry that I woke you, but we need to get going soon." I say "O-Oh um Okay, Please give me a few moments," She says slipping out of bed. "Sure", I say as I get up and put on my armor, I then walk out the door to Emma's room and see that everyone is already up, Then The five of us, hear a knock on the door to the cottage, Ethan, Kusunoki, and Peter are pointing there weapons at the door, I have my 1911, in my right hand as I open the door, only to see that it is the wolf, From yesterday, I look back at everyone else telling them that it is clear. "Yes?" I say leaning against the door. "We have news from our Queen that, she would like to see all of you as quickly as possible. "Oh, um okay," I say, the wolf nods then Gets back onto his horse, and rides away from the Cottage, You close the door and look at everyone else. "How far is the Castle?" I ask Ethan. Ethan looks at his wrist pad, then looks back at everyone else. "About a 6 day's walk from here." He asks with a sigh.
"Well that sucks ass..." I say Then out of nowhere, E.V.A. Speaks. " If I may speak, while everyone was sleeping, I detected that UN equipment, like Aircraft and Other military and Medical Equipment, was left for you" She says "Well, that's Covenant." He says with a smirk "Ja, This means That Ve won't have to walk for three days." He says Ethan then talks to E.V.A. again. "Can we get a transport?" Yes, I already have sent a VTOL To you, It should be there in an Hour." "An hour?" Kusunoki says. "As soon as we landed, The robots in an underground UN facility Immediately Started repairing any Damaged Aircraft and equipment." Ethan.
I look back at Emma, Who is just standing there probably trying to understand what, we are talking about, After 30 minutes of Explaining some human technology, we hear the distinct sound of jet engines, and we walk out with all our current equipment, as we watch the VTOL Approach.
"Huh, a Condor,"
I say as I set my hands on my waist. "Well, That's Better than I expected," Ethan says. "Same here," Kusunoki says agreeing. We watch as the jet rotates its engines to vertically land, the landing gear comes down, and it slowly comes kicking up loose grass, Small unharmful rocks, and dirt, I see the Two GAU-17s, and the High velocity 40mm Grenade launcher on it's belly "Alright, Everyone let's get on board." He says as the ramp of the VTOL comes down. We all get onto the VTOL, I look back at Emma who looks like she's a little bit scared. "Hey, It's alright there's nothing to be worried about," I say giving off my best reassuring smile, as I reach for her hand, she looks at me, then at my hand, she takes my hand and I help her get on board, I see her look around in awe at the inside of the VTOL, I grab a bag off one of the nets on the ceiling inside the VTOL, that has a Standard Uniform with an XL UN T-shirt, earpiece, and a Plate carrier(Tactical Vest) I give the bag to Emma, she looks at it. "What is this?" She says arching an eyebrow. "It's just a bag of clothes and other things if you want them." "Oh, um...Thank you." She says. I pick the earpiece out of the bag and try to put it onto her ear, she leans back a bit but I give her I look of " Trust me" She leans toward me and I put the earpiece into her ear and turn it on. "What did you put onto my ear?" She says looking at me before touching her ear "Hey don't worry, All it does is make it so you can hear everyone. over the sound of the engines" "Oh, um, thanks." She says with a slightly confused smile. I see Ethan give me a look as he straps himself into one of the VTOL's seats, I don't know if he's annoyed or just confused for some reason. I climb up into the kinda narrow cockpit of the VTOL, I watch Peter sit down in the Co-pilot's seat. He adjusts himself as he does. I look at my side and sit down.
After checking the instruments I ask over the intercom if everyone is ready. "Is everyone ready?" I ask "Strapped and Ready." Ethan says. "Strapped and Ready," Kusunoki says. "Good to go." Peter says "Oh, uh, Strapped and Ready." Emma says "Okay, Here, we, gooooo..." I slowly push the throttle as the VTOL slowly Lifts off the ground and into the air, as the sun reaches higher into the sky and I see the sun glint on my helmet's visor, but then out of nowhere it hits me, I've started to fall for Emma... The VTOL moves faster and faster above some trees, then above the lake, I pull the control stick back a little bit to climb for more altitude. and we then begin our flight to the kingdom of Leonait.
(Sorry for the very short chapter, I Have a lot of work to do, But don't worry I'll have More chapters coming out.)
