A Journey Across Terra

29

Rhodes Island, a nomadic landship hailing from the land of Rim Billiton, also home to a pharmaceutical company of the same name. Rhodes Island is known to be a safe haven for everyone from every walk of life. However, on one bright sunny morning, the landship was greeted by a group of people tasked with retrieving a storage create that was left behind.

However, two new individuals were also present with the group. One seemed to be much less appreciative of the presence of a certain Kalt'sit whereas the other seemed to have her mind elsewhere.

"I never expected to see you here." Kalt'sit said from the other side of the interrogation glass.

"You traitor..." Lyudmila growled as she glared at Kalt'sit.

"Sheesh, will they be fine?" Utage said to the rest of the group as they wandered into the cafeteria of the landship.

"Eh, should be." Yuki shrugged. "Vigna, you sure you don't want to rest?" He turned to the dishevelled Vigna who slowly walked behind the group.

"Yeah, I'll just head to medical. Hehe." She chuckled. "Guess that arrow really did a number on me eh?"

"You three go on ahead." Frostleaf supported Vigna from underneath as they slowly made their way to medical.

"And then there were three." Utage said quietly as she found a table to take a seat at. "Cantabile, you thinking about joining Rhodes Island?"

The Liberi jumped slightly at her name being called as she was lost in thought. "I don't know...Why would you do so much for me?" She anxiously rubbed her arm.

"I think you should." Yuki said softly as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Not only is it a good place to stay. But it will also help with that originuim on your arm."

"Strange...You say it's a good place to stay and yet you told me yourself that you don't live here." Cantabile countered.

"That's because I'm a wanderer of Terra." Yuki sighed. "Trust me on this one Little Lyrebird; Rhodes Island is the place to stay. Kalt'sit and everyone else is nothing like those nobles."

"Yeah. You should!" Utage chimed in. "There are so many great things here. I promise you that we won't ever leave you bleeding out in some forgotten alleyway."

"With all that...Are you willing to come on board with us?" Yuki gave her a comforting smile.

Cantabile looked between both Utage and Yuki, her lips pursed as she gripped the hem of her shirt. "...Okay. I'll come."

"Alrighty then, let's get going!" Utage gleefully dragged Cantabile by the arm out from her chair dragged her out of the cafeteria. "Coral, you can go ahead and eat on your own."

"And then there was one." Yuki sighed to himself as he got up from the table and wandered over towards what they were serving.

From the large sample of food that was at the cafeteria, there was only one thing there that really stood out to him. A single blue cake sat idly on a cake tray, just waiting for it to be eaten. It's white icing glistened in the light as it beckoned to be eaten. Despite it looking just perfect, nobody seemed to have even touched it.

"Don't mind if I do." Yuki leaned over and grabbed a slice of the cake and placed the masterfully crafted cake on his plate.

As Yuki walked through the moderately crowded cafeteria, he was given many weird stares from different people. Yuki however, paid no mind to it as he made his way back to his table.

"Now don't you look amazing." Yuki chuckled to himself as he admired the cake one last time before taking a piece and taking a bite from the cake. "Wow, I'm surprised that cake isn't being talked about. This amazing."
