Chapter 17: Seeds

We stepped back into the room, greeted by a pouting Alice. She wasn't too happy about being left behind, for one.

"Master went to do unforgivable things with Iona, right?"

"And exactly how did you come up with that conclusion? I only left for 10 minutes or so. Anyways, leave your stuff here for now, we need to head to the meeting room.... wherever that is."

"Alice talked with Maria earlier. She said to head to the hall. There isn't a meeting room," she said, still pouting.

I petted her head, noticing a little smile on her face. Fella just wanted attention huh... Well, more pressing matters were present, so we just made our way down. There was about thirty or fourty people around... awfully small for a revolution.

Larry stood on a table, calling for attention.

"Alright guys, let's make this quick. We all know Nexus is making life shit for us, aye? He kills whoever he wants, takes whatever he wants, and what's left for us? We're poor here, we have nothing, and the rich take from us. And let's not forget the damn church, corrupt bastards treating us like dirt and only bothered about money. So here's the deal, we tear down that fat asshole from his throne!!"

The people cheered. Nothing special about the speech, but using everyone's anger and hate seemed pretty effective. Gotta take a few mental notes.

"Those of you who want to join this fight, we're all open for you. Let's tear Reverie a knew one, for humans, and Puppets."

"Is anyone here a Mechanic?"

11 people raised their hands, including me.

"Puppets around?"

14 including Alice and Iona.

So the rest were normal folk huh. Guess like we're the ones taking the hard jobs.

"Alright, Mechanics and Puppets, you'll be handling the main assault front. The rest give support, and help out anyway you can, got it? We have work to do tomorrow so get some rest, and pack your stuff," Seth added.

"Where're we headed?" someone asked.

"Underground. The slums are bigger than you think. Now hop to it, form some teams Mechanics and Puppets!"

It didn't take long before all the Puppets were staring at me.

"Master is Alice's Master!"
"And mine too,"

"T-Taken..." I said, Alice and Iona grabbing an arm each. These two are a handful...

As the people around formed their separate groups, things seemed decently lively. It was honestly kinda enjoyable, ignoring how the place was pretty darn cramped.

"Hey kid!" someone nudged me from behind, "Remember us?"

"Y-You're that thug from before...?"

"Aw come on, that's harsh. I gave you a bag of coins!"

"Right... um... you never told me your name though."

"Archer. Grew up without a family, so never knew my surname. These two are my mates, Duke and Faye."

"Hey."

"Hi."

"Wait... that's a girl?!"

"Yes, I am, excuse you," she pulled her hood down. "Couldn't tell just because this was up?"

Oh damn. She's kinda cute.

Do you-

HELL NO!
