After a gunshot was fired everything turned white in a flash, then faded back into the darkness. Korah slowly awakens to his guild's medical bay, the only one present was a sleeping Sorin on his bedside. Korah wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by a hellish headache. He felt himself with his backhand and finds out that he has a burning fever, quite common around the rainfall city if one stays out for too long in the rain. Instead, he nudges Sorin to wake up in surprise.
Sorin"Mmm... Hmm?"
Korah"Hey Big Bro..."
Sorin"Kor! You're awake! Thank god, you're alright."
Korah"Wha? What happened to me? Why do I have a fever? Weren't we just at the Drowning Desert?"
Sorin"It's okay lil' bro. Clicks heard the explosion from underground and found the trapdoor into the cavern. We found you badly wounded and had to carry you back before the place could collapse on us."
Korah"Woah, and the lighthouse?"
Sorin"Sorry... Like I said, it collapsed on itself because of the explosion."
Korah"Oh no, really?"
Sorin"Well, we didn't come home empty handed. Wally carried everything he could on his own. There were some recourses we've never seen or heard of before, from exotic fabrics to seeds for growing new food!"
Korah"That's good. Uhh... How long was I out?"
Sorin"It should be threes days right about... 🕘now."
Korah"Ouch. Did I miss anything?"
Sorin"Not really, the last three days were just vacation time for us. Mostly for distribution and tradeoffs.
Korah"Urgh..."
Sorin"What's wrong?"
Korah"Head- hurting."
Sorin"Okay, you need to rest a little bit more, okay?"
Korah"Alright."
Sorin"Okay then. Make sure to wake up later for your meds."
Sorin tucks him back into bed as Korah already quickly getting drowsy. Sorin was actually Guildmaster Clifford's firstborn son and Korah's role model step brother. So he cares more about his siblings than anything else, he even accepts Korah as his kin. By birthright, he will become the next Guildmaster after his father meaning he must become a true and/or better leader then Clifford. Due to the society of Gearton, Guilds are the pillars that keep its civilization alive and well, which means the guild itself is massive in size and numbers.
There are six guilds in total, each pertaining a part of society. The Warcraft Swords are in charge of civil security, law enforcement, and of course warfare. The Aqua Circuits are in charge of the city's water and power supply, which both are plentiful. They used the aqua engines to power all the electricity and repurpose the water as the water supply for everyday uses. The Last Flora is the guild that keeps everyone fed with cattle ranches and vegetation farms. The Remnant Artisans are said to be last of the creatives and scientist that try to keep the masses wise and alert.
