Asylin:
According to my portals and knowledge of this planet my location pinpoint is exactly here although it seems something has disappeared from this location that distracts me.

Alleria:
*looks around as she is unfamiliar with this sort of terrain* It's been a long time since I traveled anywhere near this place but yes this here is definitely planet Ninjstui.

Rulia:
*looks about* so here is the infamous planet Ninjstui where Lord Sirus and his people live, not much to say by looks I can tell you. *giggles*

Karlock:
*embraces Rulia* well we're not exactly near any local people or a village of any sort so let's start moving before it gets dark.

Ace:
*casts a red Chaos orb and finds it to disappear just as it was cast* something is not right... *nods to Karlock* I agree we better hurry, but there's something wrong about casting magic here it doesn't seem to work so let's all be alert.

Asylin:
*perks up at the mention of no magic working* this is going to be hell on my part. *frowns and goes ahead* I'll lead since I got you all this far.

Alleria:
Cheer up.. it isn't totally hopeless in our situation, using my keen sense of direction we'll get to the city in no time. If it gets dark I'll take lead... *smiles*

With Asylin taking the lead and almost half a day almost gone, we continue on in search of the ruins of Ninjstui. As night begins to fall, we notice not far off to our right is a big lush forest of some sort. Alleria stretches and rushes on ahead to take lead as the sky grew darker by the minute.

Alleria:
man does this feel like home! *giggles and rolls around in the bushes* Yes we're definitely close to the ruins of Ninjstui... this forest has been here the last time I recall.

Karlock:
*raises an eyebrow at Alleria rolling around* so exactly how close are we to the ruins Alleria?

Rulia:
are we sure this is the place? *looks around and see multiple yellow eyes in the forest*

Asylin:
well since my sight now isn't so great but from earlier this is the general direction we're heading in and I suppose the ruins is on the other side of the forest.

Ace:
so what are those things in the forest gazing at us by chance? Do you recall what strange native animals live on planet Ninjstui?

Alleria:
*stands and looks into the forest* in answering to Asylin, yes... the ruins are on the other side of this forest and if I remember correctly what used to be before the forest was a local decent size city!! *shakes head as she remembers it all too well* The city of Shiuan...

Rulia:
The city of Shiuan.. that is the mythical city in Ninjstui... no one ever found it's location... the Empire of Ninjstui fear the city because it held many magical secrets and usually the inhabitants of Shiuan were known for their studies of rare and deadly spells.

Karlock:
this is most strange... I myself of the Sukzo Empire have never heard of such a city in Ninjstui... this can be a most important thing yet to add to my vast knowledge...

Asylin:
*shakes her head* native creatures of Ninjstui are different than your average animals... they hunt for the thrill and not for food. I think these creatures at times are not even native to this planet and are transported here for the sole purpose to protect the Empire.

Ace:
you mean to tell me the vast desert we walked past a few hours ago was the city of Shiuan?! That is probably why Asylin had a weird feeling that something is missing... a whole city just mysteriously disappears and all is left is a vast desert... good news is that probably we found the city of Shiuan.. bad news is that we also lost trace of where it is now.. *thinks* and you tell me those creatures in the forest are deadly in other words.. *unsheathes the dragon blade and wields it* might as well use this... for I can't depend on my Mystical Chaos Blade here... for it wouldn't heed to my summoning...

Asylin:
if that is the case... 1.) now we're sure we are going in the right direction... 2.) we better be careful going through this forest before we reach the ruins of Ninjstui... and yes now I know why my magical blue portal ended up where it was in the city of Shiuan... cause from what Rulia says... the inhabitants were studying the arts of magic... and when we arrived Ace tried a spell and it failed... *nods to me* best stick win non-magical items and weapons for now... until we pass this area or find something to neutralize this anti-magic field...

Alleria:
*nods* well with that resolved, we best hurry on into the forest. The city of Shiuan if we ever need to revisit we'll come back and try to relocate it, but for now we got other things to take care of.

Rulia:
we'll keep this in our databases for later investigations... but for now the Sukzo Empire is in a crisis and we must get to the Empire Ninjstui as soon as we can locate the ruins. In other words... how far is the Empire of Ninjstui from the ruins again?

Karlock:
if my memory serves me well... the ruins are west of the royal family of the Ninjstui and from here I can slightly see a tower far into the forest, that must be one part of the ruins!

Asylin:
*tries to jump up to catch a glance at the tower but fails* hate it when I'm this short and can't fly to see what others are seeing... *pokes me* Ace lift me up so I can see the tower as well?

Ace:
*lifts Asylin up and sets her on my shoulder* Do you see it now? How far is it approximately from where we are now?

Karlock and Asylin:
*said at the same time* too far to say exactly...

Rulia:
you two don't help at all... well at least we now know and to keep an eye out east of the ruins for the Empire of Ninjstui.

Alleria:
Let's get moving... *loads several golden Chaos arrows onto her bow* we don't got too much time to enjoy the view.

Walking through the forest suddenly brings past memories of just Lenora, Mike and myself just thinking that we were just on a normal vacation. Thinking back I'm kind of glad the ways things went, I mean after all this has been a never ending dream for any fanatic fan of being in a science fiction fantasy setting such as this. I wonder at times how Lenora and Mike feel, although I think even Mike is happy with what he has now. After all having a lovely Elf can only be so fortunate, he wouldn't be complaining about leaving his present life... or does he? Suddenly a scream lets out from behind me distracting my thoughts and as I turn about I catch a glimpse of an arrowhead heading towards Rulia.

Ace:
Everyone drop to the floor!!

Karlock:
*grabs Asylin and drops her to the floor before hesitating*

Alleria:
*drops and rolls setting her golden Chaos bow in front of her* Where are they and how many?

Rulia:
*turns and looks about and panics* What?! What's the commotion?

Ace:
Get down Ru- *spits blood as a dart impales my arm*

Asylin:
Alleria I detect 5 things moving about the area, we're completely surrounded..

Rulia:
*gets down a bit too late as the arrowhead goes through her left shoulder and collapses* It's my fault... I'm so sorry Ace.. *looks up to me with tears*

Karlock:
*rolls to a kneeling position and whispers* stay down be quiet, I got it under control. *looks about* there's 3 roughly in front I see their shadows..

Asylin:
that means there's two behind us, Karlock you cover the front and I'll cover the back.

Alleria:
and I'll shoot at any I can from where I am Asylin.

Ace:
*sighs and lies against a tree trunk* This is not good.. an ambush, should have seen it coming. If I wasn't only distracted with my own thoughts, I would of seen and predicted the ambush was about to occur. *holds Rulia and looks at her shoulder* it's in pretty deep brace yourself, I'm going to attempt to take it out.

Rulia:
*nods and braces herself for the pain and finds it quite brief* thank you Ace...

Troop 1:
Duke Madaroki! I think the two intruders that we saw approaching our way is either dead or unconscious.

Madaroki:
*laughs and she covers a hand to stifle it* excellent my loyal troops, go and make sure that they're dead. I don't want any trouble of this news to get to Lord Sirus, our Lord is extremely busy as is.

Troop 2:
We'll make it quick Duke Madaroki, I'll make sure that these intruders are dealt with properly.

Ace:
*pulls a piece of cloth from my hood to wrap her shoulder and toss the arrow to aside* can you move it? *coughs and yanks the dart from my arms and tosses that too*

Karlock:
I can take one of the troops out, she's to my left... *aims and takes out a long dagger* okay here goes anything. *with a swift movement of his arms sends the dagger through the bushes*

Troop 3:
*looks about as she walks around the area where she's almost close to Rulia and myself* It's all cle- *before she can finish her sentence a shiny black dagger is seen protruding through her neck and she collapses face first to the floor*

Asylin:
*looks about* okay one down 3 more and this so called Duke Madaroki.

Troop 2:
*loads two more arrows onto his bow* Did you say something Nariko? Do you need help or something? *moves to where he thinks Nariko was* Oh my god!! *lowers down to her corpse* They still are ali- *a shiny hilt blade is seen*

Ace:
*before he can finish I stab my dragon blade through his chest then I quickly pull it out and slices across his neck* 2 down 2 to go, Rulia you move on over to where Asylin is.

Rulia:
*nods to me and hurries on over to where Asylin is*

Troop 1:
*realizes he's not hearing things and puts his darts away and unsheathes his sword* Madaroki I think Nariko and Machiko died!!! I don't hear a single step of noise from either of them, it's too quiet! *looks about alertly*

Madaroki:
*sighs deeply* Riyoma what nonsense you talking about?! *casts a shield about her* Are you sure? *calls out* Nariko?! Machiko?!

Troop 4:
Duke Madaroki did something happen to Nariko and Machiko? *rushes up to Riyoma* something wrong? *unsheathes her sword*

Alleria:
*leaps up from where she's hiding and sends two golden Chaos arrows at where Riyoma is*

Riyoma:
Madaroki ambush! *then all is quiet from him as the golden Chaos arrow vaporizes his body and his sword drops to where he once was*

Troop 4:
*screams* Nooooooooooooooo! Riyoma! Duke Madaroki go now and save yourself! Run for it, there's more than two intruders here!! *then all is silent as the second golden Chaos arrow goes through her forehead and she too is vaporized*

Alleria:
*lands on her feet and prepares two more arrows to her bow pointing to the general direction of where Madaroki is* Duke Madaroki this Alleria speaking, I suggest you come out and surrender. Your two troops have been killed, I'm sure Ace and Karlock are more than happy to toss their corpses to you. As for myself the two troops that I killed one unknown and Riyoma are vaporized.

Karlock:
*gets up and wield his massive blade from behind him* Duke Madaroki I'm over here to your right. *chuckles and tosses the corpse of Nariko in front of Madaroki with one hand*

Ace:
*stands and tosses the corpse of Machiko in front of Madaroki* and Duke Madaroki, I'm towards your left. *positions the dragon blade tip forward*

Asylin:
*stands and looks around* all her troops are dead, I only sense one person and that must be Duke Madaroki still standing.

Rulia:
*clutches her shoulder* your archer lacks the skill to actually do any serious damage as you can see, I'm right by Asylin right in back of you now. *unsheathes her long sword*

Madaroki:
*gasps in shock as she hears 5 voices then laughs insanely* you best my 5 loyal troops with such ease, I'm surprised. *lowers down and opens a portal then picks up the two corpses and sends it into the portal* you've managed to counter ambush our ambush. *sighs* the unknown troop was Ryoinku... she was the youngest and wisest of the group.

Alleria:
*releases the golden Chaos arrow from her bow and into Madaroki only to find the arrow flares and disappears as it hits Madaroki* What in the name of all Elven nature?!

Asylin:
*closes her eyes and mutters some words as a spark of lighting is about to come forth but then fizzles out* I forgot my magic fails here... *shakes head*

Ace:
*nods to Asylin* apparently she can cast magic but we can't... *looks to Madaroki* and it appears she has an upper advantage too.

Karlock:
*with a swift movement of his hand sends four daggers towards Madaroki but only to find it melts on contact* my daggers aren't working either.

Madaroki:
*has several tears on her eyes as she arises* killing my favorite loyal friend and troop... *glares at Rulia* you are going to die for the death of Ryoinku! All of you will pay for her death! *sends multiple green lightning bolts from her amulet worn on her neck*

Ace: *tries to block with the dragon blade but fails sending the blade flying and me along with it a few feet behind*

Asylin:
*leaps but fails as the lightning shocks her until she collapses with spasms*

Alleria:
*rolls to the left and leaps behind a tree as the lightning flares the tree on contact* She's good in magic and I'd imagine pissed guys...

Rulia:
*blocks but fails as the lightning bolt goes through her chest and down she collapses onto the floor not breathing*

Karlock:
Nooooooooooooooo! Rulia don't give up now, don't die on me now! *feels a light voltage run through his body but doesn't think much about it* We've got this far we got to report back remember? I need you with me to report back... *sniffs and glares at Madaroki* that does it!! *spins the massive blade and rushes towards her*

Ace:
*stirs a bit and gets up to help Asylin over to Alleria and hears Karlock charge* Karlock what are you doing?!! We can't defeat her by madly charging in!

Alleria:
*holds Asylin and looks to Rulia on the floor and shakes her head* she's dead we best get her body and run as fast we can.

Karlock:
*ignores my call and continues the charge* Why Rulia?!! Why didn't you aim for just me?! *swings the massive blade right into Madaroki*

Madaroki:
*spits blood as the massive blade knocks her to floor* you actually got through my shield... *grin, spits the blood from her lips and slowly gets up* you haven't heard from the last of me Karlock... *disappears into the portal and the portal disappears after her*

Karlock:
come back here you coward!! *raises his fist in anger and sighs as he drops to his knees* I've failed to protect Rulia... *goes by Rulia's body*

Ace:
*shakes head* no this can't be happening.. Rulia.. Rulia.. she can't be.. is she Alleria? This isn't your fault Karlock... it's our fault for underestimating Madaroki...

Asylin:
*remains motionless as well and lays in Alleria's arms*

Alleria:
Rulia and Asylin both aren't breathing.. but they have heart beats.. let them rest a bit. *picks up Rulia's long sword*

Karlock:
*embraces Rulia's body close to his to keep warn* she'll be okay, she'll live on... she must! *sighs and brushes her hair from her eyes*

Ace:
*coughs* that voltage she let out certainly did what it intended to do... *shakes head* without magic we're hopeless against her or Lord Sirus... but she cast magic... so there must be a solution...

Alleria:
*nods in agreement to me* we'll ponder on that while we rest here for the night, that and we best get to the ruins before Madaroki returns.

Karlock:
I doubt Madaroki will return anytime soon, she has to report to Lord Sirus that she lost her troops and that she has this huge gash across her arms from the block she did from my massive blade...

Ace:
*nods to Karlock* good job in injuring her... but don't ever do that mad charge at any enemy, you never know what are enemies are capable of.

Karlock:
*nods and sighs* yes milord, my thoughts were on Rulia.. it clouded my better judgment...

Ace:
*pat his back* Rulia knows... and we know... don't burden yourself on it.

Alleria:
*lies on the floor and rests* we all best get rest... you did your best Karlock. *smiles and hugs him tightly*

Karlock:
*nods and sighs* yes we all should get some sleep. *lies by Rulia and rests*

Ace:
*smiles and lies down by Alleria and Asylin*

The next morning I woke up at a bright flare shining upon my face, wondering what it can be. I took a quick glance around to saw that everyone is still sleeping and from the look in the sky it's barely dawn, so it'll be unfair to wake the others. Taking the dragon blade with me I left quietly and went on to investigate the strange flare in the sky. Hoping to not go to far from camp I explored nearby and soon found my answer. Looking forward through a fern I can distinctly see two figures against a tree quite occupied.

Figure 1:
*moans and sighs contently* Mistress... Deeper... I feel so warm... *breathes heavily*

Figure 2:
*kisses her deeply as she thrusts deeper* like so my dear Ryoinku? *tongues her thoroughly* you taste so sweet my dear.

Ryoinku:
*gasps and moans* yes! yes Mistress, you hitting it just perfectly... faster... deeper.. Oh how I've missed being with you...

Figure 2:
*lifts her higher against a tree and begins to thrust faster* oh but you certainly tease my dear Ryoinku, how can you miss me? I'm sure you had far better with other females.

Ryoinku:
*gasps and moans as her mistress thrusts deeper into her* you're teasing me mistress, I've never done this with anyone but you... only you can make me satisfied. *moans deeply and wraps her arms around her mistress* I love you... *tenses and grabs tightly onto her mistress* I'm coming... I'm coming!

Figure 2:
*gasps as she releases her seed into Ryoinku and leans into her embrace* you're wonderful as always my dear. *lowers her hand and fingers her thoroughly* you've released quite a lot tonight, you've not done this often since our last reunion?

Ryoinku:
*moans and nods* it's been a long time since I did this with you my mistress... *blushes* and since then I only had but my hands to please myself. *lowers herself and begins to take in her mistress' manhood, sucking it clean* and I've yet been satisfied since the last time my mistress. *licks her lips and gets up*

Figure 2:
*moans and licks her lips* I can see my dear, but you know how busy I am with Lord Sirus. I can only attend to you whenever I am certain that I'm not needed by our sire.

Ryoinku:
*sniffs and picks up her cloak* I understand my mistress. *wraps the cloak around her mistress and smiles* please take care, I love you and I constantly think of you every night.

Figure 2:
*kisses her forehead* I know my love and I constantly thinking of you every night... my nights have been most lonely. *casts a full body armor over Ryoinku* now I must go, find Nariko and Machiko they are to report to me as soon as they can. *disappears as a bright flare covers her and Ryoinku*

Ryoinku:
*nods* I'll try though... but I highly think I'd bother them since those two are probably occupied like we were. *blushes and looks about* you can step out sir Knight... I know you have been watching, I personally don't mind but if my mistress finds out you'd be dead.

Ace:
*gulps and steps through the ferns* Ryoinku... how did you know I was there the whole time? The last time I've sworn Alleria killed you, explain why you're here in the flesh and quite alive?!

Ryoinku:
Are you just full of questions sir knight... *stretches out and lies against the tree* but I should be the one asking you why were you watching my mistress and I make love, aren't you at least decent enough not to watch? Or were you just aroused by the joining of my mistress and I?

Ace:
I was investigating a bright flare of flight and saw you two behind those two large ferns, now answer me... *raises the dragon blade and looks to her* you should be dead Ryoinku... I can put you to death again if needed, so answer now why you're alive?!

Ryoinku:
*tosses her head back and laughs* you won't get any closer if I were you sir knight, even with your exceptional sword skills you won't even scratch me with that finely crafted blade of yours.

Ace:
*thinks it over a second and sheathes the dragon blade* can you please explain it then?

Ryoinku:
have a seat and I'll explain, though you won't receive all the details. *licks her lips and smiles*

Ace:
*lies down with back against the tree and looks at her* you can start explaining first why you're alive.

Ryoinku:
*smiles and lowers herself on top of me* you're warm between your legs sir knight, now what are you thinking of? *giggles teasingly* why I'm still alive... let's just say your Alleria is a great archer and I think she's perfect with the bow and with those lovely golden arrows. There is but one flaw in her skills, no matter how great they are they can't possibly kill an immortal. *grins*

Ace:
*gasps and looks at her again* you an immortal? *laughs* I can show you immortal! *jerks Ryoinku's neck forward as I bare my silver fangs and start to drink out of her*

Ryoinku:
*moans inwardly and pushes forward against my chest pressing her full breasts against me* oh yes sir knight! *swoons and looks at me as I continue to suck the blood from her veins* ah what true ecstasy! *starts to thrust against my hips*

Ace:
*pulls back and holds her in place while I lick my lips clean* now you are in my control Ryoinku... you are like any other mortal female on any planet, now tell me of Nariko and Machiko's reincarnation.

Ryoinku:
*moans and smiles* I'm not in your control sir knight, but the exact opposite *laughs and drops my armor and cloak off with a thought* now you're my slave for the morning... Now stand up and slowly undress for me my slave.. *licks her lips with anticipation*

Ace:
*finds myself unable to resist and starts to slowly get up and take off my pants and vest* Ryoinku... what are you doing... why and are you doing this? *silently murmurs into the air* forgive me my love... I'm losing control... *eyes start to cloud working it's magic*

Ryoinku:
*kisses me softly and smiles* so you would forget all of this after I take you into me, and you'll not remember what you saw just a few moments ago. *lies against the tree with her legs spread open* I'm so thoroughly arouse from earlier and need a good release knight... *moans* hurry and make me come... sir knight... I'm sure your member is as long as your sword... *rubs her hands up and down my now rigid shaft and proceeds to undress my remaining article of clothing releasing my hardened member* ah a splendid thing you males possess... I can understand now why it's so deadly for my mistress possesses one herself... *moans and licks the tip of my member then proceeds to enclose it completely into her mouth*

Ace:
*feels Ryoinku's blood surging through me warming up and is unable to remain in control* Ryoinku... your lips are so warm and wet... take it all in... deeper and faster please... I can feel it coming... but not so fast not just yet... * pulls out from her lips and looks into her eyes completely in control* I want you now... turn around and bend over... *grabs her breasts from behind then begin to slowly enter into her wet vaginal opening and slowly thrusts into her hard*

Ryoinku:
*moans and starts moving herself to my thrusts* yes sir knight deeper! Deeper into me until I can no longer feel it... *lowers her hand to her blossoming bulb and fingers it* oh yes... this is wonderful!!

Ace:
*thrusts into her deeply and pulls out* yes Ryoinku... *fondles her breasts as I resume to thrust into her continuously in rhythm with her*

Ryoinku:
This is truly a first time for a manhood from a man has entered me, you should feel so very honored... *moans and holds onto the tree tightly as I continue to thrust into her faster and faster*

Ace:
*grabs onto her waist and pulls out to release my seed onto her back*

Ryoinku:
I'm coming... I'm coming! *tenses as she releases her juices from her sheath as my hot juices drip onto her back and down to the floor* that was just grand sir knight... *turns around and lowers herself to lick up the remaining juices from my manhood* most delicious sir knight. Now lie down and sleep, when you awake you'll forget all of this has ever happened. *laughs and disappears into a bright flare of light*

Ace:
*wears my armor and cloak* yes Ryoinku... *lies down to sleep by the tree*

I'm not sure how long I slept but when I woke up later in the afternoon, I found myself staring up at Alleria and the others who is just now walking by wondering where I was the whole morning. After several rambling of words from multiple people I got up and start explaining what I can remember and how I got here.

Alleria:
milord Ace, where were you this whole morning? Why did you decide to leave us alone at the camp?

Ace:
*rubs my head* all I remember was I woke up this morning and looked around to see you all sleeping happily so I left you all to sleep while I went to investigate a bright light.

Karlock:
you could have called one of us to guard you milord, Rulia was already heavily injured. I don't want you to be in danger out here as well milord.

Alleria:
exactly milord, I wasn't all that tired and didn't need the sleep so I could of guarded you while you went to investigate. So did you find out what the bright light was?

Ace:
*smiles* I'm glad of your concern Karlock... but someone had to watch Asylin and Rulia so I left that to you and Alleria while I went to go investigate. *sighs and shakes my head* sadly I couldn't find out what the bright light is... and just now woken up to see you all.

Karlock:
good to find you sleeping here safely milord *bows* and second of all Rulia is slowly recovering. *smiles* Just last night she was able to talk to me for a bit.

Ace:
wonderful news indeed, how is Asylin faring Alleria? Did she come about in the middle of the light to talk or tell you of anything?

Alleria:
*shakes her head* afraid not, Asylin is out cold and was sleeping in my arms the whole time, so I wouldn't know where to continue onto the ruins of Ninjstui, all I know is that we were heading in the correct direction.

Karlock:
we better hurry to find the ruins, before anything else happens. We've but only got 3 people with full strength to encounter any more ambushes. If two more goes down and all is left but one, somebody best return and recuperate to come back another day.

Alleria:
*nods* that's true Karlock we best be extra careful and reach the ruins by tonight, I doubt Asylin or Rulia can hold out much longer.

Ace:
*sighs* we best hurry and get Asylin back to full recovery so we can continue... *takes a water pouch out and brings it to Asylin's lips to drink*

Asylin:
*coughs and shivers in my arms* I... think I can move.. *slowly gets up and quickly looks around* what happened to me?

Karlock:
*slowly shakes his head* we were all hit with some strong magic from either a sorceress or mage by the name of Madaroki. Are you able to walk and lead us towards the ruins again? Or will you be needing time to rest and regain your strength before we move?

Alleria:
*kneels by Rulia and brings her lips to her forehead* It's good to say that Rulia is breathing normally now and secondly her fever has either diminished or is totally gone now. *smiles*

Ace:
you were unconscious from a spell... so was Rulia... *sighs and looks over to her* but one thing is for sure, Rulia is looking a lot better than earlier in the day.

Asylin:
*nods and stretches* I feel a lot better as well, as though my lost energy from walking in shear heat was nothing, almost feel anew. *nods and looks over to Rulia* I think I can start leading again, a little more towards the direction we were moving and we'll be there.

Karlock:
*nods* good let's not waste any more time than we have already and get to the ruins. We've gotten this far, so the ruins shouldn't be any farther from where we are now.

Ace:
*hands the pouch of water to Asylin* we'll we must best get moving. *nods to Karlock* exactly as you say, we should be close especially if we encountered some Duke such as Madaroki.

Rulia:
*awakens in Karlock's arms and stands on her feet* I can walk by myself now Karlock, no need to carry me anymore. That and I've probably used most of your strength by carrying me for so long.

Alleria:
*smiles and hands the long sword back to Rulia* you dropped this when you were blocking Madaroki's spell.

Ace:
*smiles and holds onto Rulia* good to see you back on your feet Rulia, that and we can start on our destination once again without much resting time to make up lost time.

Asylin:
*nods* I'll lead once again, if I remember correctly it should be out of this forest and just slightly ahead of us a clearing of light!

Alleria:
yes the clearing then leads to the ruins and east of the ruins farther on is the Empire of Ninjstui, that means we are really close to it!

Karlock:
*thinks and looks ahead* yep that tower I saw before is closer than it was when I saw it when we entered the forest.

Ace:
*smiles* all right! We actually moved faster than we expected, good scouting and trailing do help.
