season 1 episode 7; the unsea

The next morning the four friends continued their way towards the Fold, where they had left Arkens small train behind. Nataliya's eyes wandered towards the Fold that lay behind it, lightning shot through the air and loud growing could be heard. Nataliya could also feel the death radiating from it.

Nataliya laid in-between Inej and Kaz as they all watched the two Soldier's, who approached the train, their only chance on getting home. The heartrender not only could hear the soldier's hearts but the faint heartbeats from the fold.

"How many are there?" Inej asked as she continued to look straight ahead.

"Two. At some point, one of them will have to go tell a superior what they found. We'll go in then," Kaz answered them quickly.

Jesper furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at his friend, "Not to be that person, Kaz, but are you sure you can drive that thing?"

Kaz gave him an annoyed look, "Yes! On the way to Kribirsk, while you were busy hugging bait..."

"Milo! The goat's name was Milo!" Jesper interrupted him as he held his gun in his hand.

"I was memorizing Arken's timings." Kaz continued ignoring Jesper.

Nataliya's head snapped towards him, refocusing, "Not to gang up on you, but Jes has a point. Arken's system was complicated, and the ride was chaotic."

Kaz head snapped towards her, giving her a glare. Nataliya gave him an understanding expression, "No one would blame you for missing a beat."

"Jes?" Was the only thing Kaz asked her as he frowned at the woman.

"It's Suli for friendship, right Inej?" Jesper spoke up as he had a wide smile on his face.

"No, it's not" The woman chuckled at him as she playfully pushed him away.

"Trust me. Arken and I think alike." He told them but their conversation was interrupted by the train that suddenly exploded into a hundred little pieces.

"Too soon to appreciate the irony, am I right?" Jesper asked the three as they all watched the wreck of the train.

They all remained silent as they exchanged clueless looks. "Yeah, too soon."

The four had decided to travel to the next station from where the skiffs were entering the Fold. And now they were standing in a small flat that lay over a club.

"The skiff is still here. Travelers downstairs are complaining. They were due to cross this morning." Inej explained to the others as she placed her jacket onto a chair.

"Orders from the Black General. He plans to cross on it tomorrow." Kaz added as he sat in front of the three.

"The General?" Jesper asked him, confused as he leaned against a wooden pillar. "Is that the same General who tried to, Oh, yeah, kill us all. That one?"
