Kaleth and the others are finally ready to face Enor and end the war once and for all. But being ready for it and actually managing to do so are two different things. And with Enor having tens of thousands of soldiers following every one of his comm...

Rayni wasn't sure what to think at the sight of the huge, huge spaceship that took up an entire warehouse. They were at the edge of some small town. She barely knew where because Relioth teleported them there. Still, she doubted the people living here would miss the spaceship flying away from here.
Rayni wondered how it was even going to get out of here. The ceiling didn't seem to have any kind of opening mechanism. Was Relioth planning on crashing through it? Though that actually sounded kind of cool.
There weren't a lot of people here, which made sense since Relioth wasn't exactly going to be a missed presence, but Rayni was still very surprised that Kaleth had decided to come. Or maybe that had been Mel's doing. The poor guy had way too much empathy for his own good.
The two were standing in the back, every so often sharing a look that was even more lovestruck than usual. Rayni would have to ask about that.
Besides them, there were also Nira and Nef, who Rayni suspected had come only because Nef thought spaceships were cool, and Nira came with to make sure he didn't get too into it and left the planet too. And then there was Mereria who was standing right next to her.
Rayni suspected she was here only because she didn't want to risk Relioth doing something to Rayni, or whatever. Still, it was nice that Mereria worried. Even though the reasoning behind it still made Rayni confused and unsure what her and Mereria's relationship actually was.
"You know, you don't have to be here if you hate Relioth so much," Rayni whispered to Mereria, who let out a long-suffering sigh.
"He's going to look for our long lost people. He may never return. I feel obliged to say goodbye to my only surviving relative."
Rayni blinked at her. "Wait, what?"
"Relioth is my sibling. Has that never come up?"
Not sure how to process this, Rayni just blinked and stared off at the spaceship. Well, that certainly explained why Mereria had been so weird about Kaleth looking like Enor. Rayni had really thought they'd dated or something.
"Oh hey, you called him Relioth," Rayni pointed out once she got over her shock enough to realize it. Mereria just shrugged, avoiding Rayni's gaze. Rayni grinned and put her arm around Mereria's shoulders, not even sure why. But with how flustered it made Mereria, that was enough of a reason.
Mereria cleared her throat, definitely blushing a little. Rayni tried to contain her glee. Though that quickly fizzled out when she once again felt the hint of awkwardness that followed whenever they did anything together. Rayni took her arm away, looking anywhere but at the other Eternal.
"I know the fact that I share Edras' body unnerves you," Mereria said out of nowhere, as if she'd read Rayni's mind. "I would go find a new one, but Edras quite likes the situation as is. And...I suppose I do as well. I like her company."
