"No thank you, I don't think I'd like to be under a clumsy girl," Rust spoke with such poise it surprised most people when they saw this young adult who worked on an air ship.
Odessa walked by then "Rust, what is this about? Get back to the boiler room, it busted again," she ordered. Rust always did what Odessa asked.
Odessa and Maria sat on the ship facing each other, Marias long hair moved in the wind, Odessa's hair was pulled into a long braid.
"I didn't think you'd come to take her so quickly, after all, it's just been three years," Odessa said, looking out onto the lengthy space of air that they sailed. Her beautiful eyes didn't really hide any of the pain of them taking her friend away.
"It been exactly three years, we must take her. For we cannot deal any more, we need a leader," Maria said, looking at the wooden floor of the ship, its grain was beautiful. "Listen, Odessa, Rust is the true leader, she is also the assassin that can kill anyone in any situation-"
"That was years ago!" Rust spoke suddenly, not paying attention to what their expressions were, her big eyes showed anger and surprise. "You expect me to kill again?!"
"You made need some practice but you'll do fine, no one will notice when you slip into the academy.."Maria murmured softly,being as poised as possible, as her eyes bore into Rusts.
"Rust, you must leave," Odessa said, looking sympethetic towards her, "after all, you are the true leader, Elizabeth stated that clearly in her will, now go. You have five minutes to pack your things."
