Ryoiki: Solarian King (9)

CHAPTER 5: O' o' and away we go!

The seven men sat down.

Elliott, Ronin, Desmond, Price, Matthias, Deq, and Echo.

They were in a large meeting room, with a magical map of Solaris hovering in the middle of them.

"...So, game plan!" Deq began.

"Elliott, Price, Ronin, and Desmond will be heading to meet Colaria, a powerful weapon smith who created Elliott's sword."

The four faces appeared over the map and got linked to a green marker quite far south of the Draconian city.

"They will stay with her until Elliott's sword is brought back to its former glory, then he will come back, and we will move from there."

Matthias and Echo then appeared on screen.

"Matt and Echo will be heading back to Solaris in disguise, we have a contact there who will get you both set up with everything you need to get as much information as possible about the last council members."

Deq, and Zero then popped up.

"I will remain here, as is my duty, and not only monitor your progress, but also keep an eye on Zero."

Deq finished the plan, with the map displaying everyones faces and locations.

There were some murmurs...but everyone appeared content.

"...Good! We will put the plan in motion tomorrow. Go get some rest everyone."

Zero stood with Deq on the top of the stone gates, looking down upon the two caravans.

'Blade Group' and 'Watcher Group' as they had been called.

Elliott, Desmond, Ronin, and Price in one group, with Ortegas old armor going with them in a decently long caravan, as a supply of special fruits the city grew were going to a town close to where their destination was.

Matthias and Echo were going with a similar delivery to Adronous, where they would be doing their best to get information on the council.

"...Do you not wish to say goodbye?" asked Deq, looking over at the other Draconian.

Zero wasn't looking the best, he hadn't been eating much.

"Nah, I know I'll see them again soon."

"...If you say so." Mumbled Deq.

Elliott pulled his backpack onto his shoulders.

It wasn't heavy, just extra clothes and some snacks.

Desmond adjusted his neck.

He hadn't slept well the night before...

"We've got quite the drive ahead of us." Elliott commented, walking past Desmond towards the van Deq was letting them use.

"I know." Desmond replied grumpily.

"Been a while since I carpooled." Commented Price, throwing the case with his armor into the van.

"It's not that bad with us. We all like to mind our own businesses." Ronin said comfortingly.

"I didn't doubt it, just, ya know." Price clarified.

Ronin nodded silently.

"You two will be drivers, lets you slip away easier." Said the leader of the supply chain, explaining the plan to Matthias and Echo.

"Anything to keep note of?" Asked Echo.

"Not that I can think of, just don't draw attention to yourselves." The leader said.
