Chapter Three
Official Leave (Part Two)
(Codling flagship Ginaknir, unknown coordinates)
Two Codling foot soldiers approached their king. Sieg turned his attention to them. "Status report?" The first soldier spoke up. "We lost 200 warriors in the attack, my
king." Sieg nodded. "What is the status of the other ships?" The second soldier spoke. "Minimal damage to the Scimitar. The other ships sustained no damage." Sieg
turned away, looking at the ocean. "How soon before the Inklings and Octarian forces can pursue us?" The first soldier replied, "The vessels being built by them are
months away from deployment."
Sieg nodded. "What of the Predators?" The second replied, "Raven is on official leave for six months with her sisters. Falcon and Hawk are also on official leave, for
two months. The spy has not yet reported the whereabouts of the others." Sieg faced them. "Bring us home. Put the Ginaknir into the docking ring, and deploy the
rest of the fleet to defend the entrance. The warriors of the Ginaknir will enter the stronghold, and will wait there." Both replied, "Yes, my king."
(Inkopolis, Cassandra's Mansion)
Clair woke up from wonderful dreams, and found that Cass was not in bed. Confused, she got up, and found Chloe on the balcony. Chloe faced her. "Oh, hey, Clair."
She faced Chloe. "Have you seen Cass?" Chloe pointed to a jogging track. "Mansion came with an exercise room and jogging track. She's on her 25th lap." Catherine
walked in. "Hey, guys." Chloe spoke up. "26." Catherine looked confused. Clair replied, "Cass is jogging, and Chloe is keeping track of her laps." Catherine replied,
"Oh."
Cass kept jogging for a bit, not knowing that three of her sisters were watching her. After her 30th lap, she broke into a run, testing her limits. Chloe was surprised.
"She doesn't even look winded." Clair sighed. "Super soldier, remember?" Chloe nodded, remembering. Cass kept running, making 50 more laps before noticing her
sisters, and stopping to look at them. "Well, come on. There's a big enough track for all of us." They laughed. "Eighty laps, Cassie? That's pretty good."
Cass smiled. "My record is 150." All three stared at her in shock. Catherine spoke. "I can't beat that. Not even close." Clair replied, "I'm not even gonna try." Chloe
looked at Cass. "You could be a professional jogger if you wanted to." Cass shook her head. "It's just exercise for me. I've got other things to do." Clair asked, "How
many pushups can you do?" Cass smirked. "Wanna find out?" Clair looked at her. "That's why I asked." Cass just laughed. "Somebody count." Cathy nodded. "I got it."
Cass began her pushups, continuing for a few minutes before she finally got up, bored.
Cathy was in shock. "200 pushups." All of her sisters stared at her in amazement. "How did you do that?" Cass shrugged. "Not much to do on a day off in the Gorge."
Clair sighed. "Yeah, but still..." Cass sighed, and said, "Come on. Let's go inside and decide what we're gonna do today." They nodded in agreement.
