10-1 Pray
>I stare up at the sky, as all the others do.
Even if you have the power to run forever on the ground, it all just gets tiring in the end.
Only the sky is safe.
Blinding, blazing, deafening. Plummeting down from the heavens, unwavering, unstoppable.
It lights up the night sky and every one of our expressions.
It is our hope, the answer to our prayers, and the bringer of an uncertain future.
The spark descends closer and closer, gracing everyone with its presence. Finally, it lands on the designated spot.
Sophia.
The loud crash shocks everything in its vicinity, but that anxiousness and fear did not reach this area.
Everything is still and quiet, with a whiff of sweetness.
Leader, Changyu and I are ready.
Before that, Aston, is the deal with the Forsaken and the others done?
All is ready.
It's a shame that Construct numbers are limited, but it should be enough for basic defenses.
Good...
Sophia, do you know what we are doing next?
Obtain the merchandise and make a deal.
It may not be the noble way for a merchant to obtain merchandise by themselves, but there won't be a deal if we don't have merchandise in the first place.
The goal of making a deal is to generate a larger profit, and as merchants, we always choose the option with a higher risk.
Yes, Leader, I will remember that.
Soon...
Jamilah silently stares forward and lifts her hand, as if reaching out for something unseen.
Very, very soon...
