"One battle has been won, but this is just the beginning. We today are declaring that our Faction will war against the evil that spreads across the Expanse. Next, we will travel to the Official Faction Department to gain our legitimate establishment as a Faction. Our choice for you is this, join us, or return to your free lives. We hold no judgment over you regardless of your decision," Kai finished.

Everyone stood quietly among each other as the many slaves basically covered the whole Caecis entrance platform and the docks to the side of it as well. Whispers could be heard as a slight gust of wind made its way in between all that was there.

"How will we get back to Catarei?" A slave asked loudly to Kai.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZos7h0aXv4
"There are two Boosters here at the docks as you see," Kai pointed to the massive boats that sat at the docks. "We will take one, the other is for those that wish to return to the city, my Treader is available over there as well," Kai finished.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrNjjXi9m
The whispers continued momentarily before another question was raised.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73D4yfEWts
"What's the name of this Faction, and what's our goal exactly?" A woman asked this time.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIQvMnjjDz
Kai took a deep breath before he began.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFKM9JRwuf
"Our goal is to change the Expanse forever. We have all been suffering under the rule and evil shit that revolves around the Dusk Alliance," Kai looked back to where the Caecis entrance previously was, now just a deep cave full of water. "This is just the beginning, as I said earlier. We travel starting today, going across the expanse to the city of Njomon to be officially established by the Old Governments Official Faction Department. After we replenish our needed supplies for our journey, we will continue our travels across the Expanse, unlocking the secrets kept from us. To fight for those that don't have anyone or that can't fight for themselves. Imagine the people that are currently slaves like you are but have been for years, that is just their lifestyle at this point. Do you wish to change this forever ongoing chapter in all of our books?" Kai asked.

Now more approval was heard amongst the crowd of people. Leon stepped forwards this time to speak.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhES40M5JZ
"There was once a bloodline long forgotten from thousands of years past, even before the times of the Old Days. They were known as the most feared Bloodline of Family and were leaders in our world. We take on the name of our lost Bloodline, we will be known as the Faction Faerlu."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVIUqaP3Pl
When Leon finished, the crowd of over sixty slaves completely erupted into a cheer.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEYCUBJWn6
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6OpmZTWyU

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNTkeW4u9H
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0C5pz38a5
As everything became calm once more, two lines were made for the Boosters. Eileen marked the names of those going back to Catarei, Leon marked the names of those joining Faerlu.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON14stIAQb
"Cruz, Kai spoke to us about you. Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Eileen asked the man.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6V8S1Veu
Cruz looked down and sighed before he replied." No offense, the speeches were great. Nonetheless, this is both of our faults. I must go help rebuild our city so you guys can have Catarei to protect properly this time."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlIzmEmYjt
Eileen nodded kindly.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDp8FfGIjS
"I completely understand, and I'm sure Kai would appreciate that as well, save travels," she said in return.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0bVqRQCbT
"Forever Journey."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn9NLW7rtM
With that, the next person walked up. A majority of the previous slaves would return to Catarei, but there were still around twenty or so joining the Faction.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYUnzkrCe
"Next," Leon stated.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi1dmkFhGX
A woman walked softly up to him, the one that previously asked the question earlier. Kai came up to the side of Leon as he was reaching the remaining individuals in his line.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxK77TlYcb
"Name?" Leon asked.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIrx0NylR
"Aida, sir," she replied.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJB8SOXNrK
"That's a good name," Kai stated from the side as he was looking at Leon's list.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxoe2Pg068
"Thank you, my lord."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPLjASZ9h1
Kai chuckled before asking a question. "And why have you decided to join us exactly Aida?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvA8NemxqU
"Because I have nothing nor anything to return to. I wish to dedicate myself and learn to fight for this Faction."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0xvJ8ReL4
"Very well. Welcome to Faerlu."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePa2R1l6Vs
After an awkward bow, Aida walked up the steps to the Booster. The next in line was the slave that set up the Glory-filled barrel with Kai and set the fuse.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzip9Pondd
"Name's Portam, and nay, I have plenty of skills that Faerlu will flourish off of.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYR496upSs
"I believe it," Kai stated with a slight nod.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkrBNgIglO
Portam began his way up the stairs, and a few more individuals had their names marked including a navigator named Dulgit, before following in his steps until Leon's line was finally to an end.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdh8dFdxcO
"We are almost ready to go, it's finally time," Leon stated with a sigh of relief.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXio695yoX
Kai and Leon both laughed.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lC22iN7iZ
"Eileen will be done momentarily, she filled the whole Booster and the Treader," Kai said.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbdcB01w1U
"Are you going to miss the Treader? Are you sure you're ready for this?" Leon asked.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV80EcuH09
"Of course brother, let's go change the Expanse with our Forever Journey."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1J0iCE0R
"Agreed," Leon said.
