Hello everyone! Last time we saw Marta, she was reliving both one of the happiest moments of her life along with the most tragic day of her life and when she awoke, she and Tenebrae were lost at sea before arriving back on dry land. Now the two have to get their current location, supplies and get Marta prepared for the Journey ahead.
Let's get going after checking on the Present.
Grass Field Outskirts [Present Day]
Everyone paid close attention to Tenebrae's synopsis on his and Marta's brief time on the boat while Marta was recalling the two dreams she had in succession during her coma. The memories of her mother brought great joy to her heart, yet also brought great sadness as well. When she started this journey with Emil, she forgotten her mother's advise and it wasn't until now she recalled it. While she's thankful for Emil bringing her down to Earth, she felt sad and guilty for forgetting her mother's words of wisdom.
'Mom, I'm so sorry I forgot what you told me, but do you think... that I've grown up and... changed...?' Marta thought to herself, asking her mother's forgiveness for her short sightness and wondering if she changed for the better. Marta acknowledged deep down that she has thanks to Emil and all of their new friends, but she wished to know if she had made her mom proud. These thoughts alone caused Marta to start letting some tears loose.
"That is what happened, after taking what we need off the boat, Lady Marta and I departed into the woods in hopes of finding a town or at least a village." Tenebrae said as he felt ready to let Marta continue the story.
"I see, so Mar-" Sheena was about to ask Marta when she noticed her looking up to the sky with a longing look, crying all the while. This didn't escape everyone's attention.
"Marta? What's wrong?" Emil asked out of concern for his beloved as she snapped out of it and wiped her face with her sleeve.
"I-I'm sorry, I was just recalling those dreams during the time I unconscious on the boat." Marta answered, but she wasn't sure about bringing it up right now. Compared to the reveal about her being with the Vanguard or being the daughter of it's commander, her past dreams are more of a private matter.
"Will you be okay?" Emil asked out of concern, deciding not to push Marta about the contents of her dreams further. It just hurt him to see Marta cry, get angry or even get hurt at all.
"I will be." Marta responded in turn, greatful for Emil not bringing it up again. She intends to tell Emil later as the two swore to try and not keep secrets from each other anymore, like how Emil assisted Richter in secret in order to find out what he planned to do with Ratatosk and hopefully make him see the errors of his ways. She can't blame him in regards to Richter though, because while Emil admitted to her she is his first friend, Richter was the first one to stand up for him and gave him courage. No wonder Emil looked up to Richter as a mentor and a friend despite their conflicting goals.
"Alright, if you're sure you can continue, do you think you can explain what happened next?" Regal asked Marta, while still showing concern for the young girl's emotional state.
"Well, as Tenebrae said, our first motive of business was to find out where we were..." Marta said as she recounted heading into the woods with Tenebrae.
Woods [five hours after waking up]
Marta and Tenebrae left the boat about two hours ago to search for a town or a city to at least find out if they're in Sylvarant or Tethe'alla. That way, they can go off from there before gathering supplies and train Marta in her newly acquired powers. They eventually found a rock in a clearing, which Marta decided to sit down on as she and Tenebrae began discussing what to do next.
"So, how far do you think we are from a nearby town Tenebrae?" Marta said as she took a small drink from one of the bottled waters from the boat. She made sure not to drink too much in order to conserve it as she only had three water bottles with her.
"I'm not certain. It is quite fortunate that we haven't come across a monster or a member of the Vanguard." Tenebrae said as he half expected a monster to be in the woods while keeping in mind that the Vanguard may be here too. Considering that the people of Sylvarant can reach Tethe'alla now and vice versa, it is possible for them to be here, especially if Brute sent out a search party to look for his daughter.
"Yeah, I don't think I can fight off monsters yet and the Vanguard could be a problem depending on where we are." Marta replied as she finished drinking a quarter of the bottle. If they're in Sylvarant, then it shouldn't be too hard as she'll be on friendly native soil, but if she's in Tethe'alla, it would be problematic, especially if it's a noble who'd love nothing more than to either insult her, beat her or forcibly make her one of their slaves, the last of which gave her the creeps. As for the Vanguard, it would be tough for them to do much in Tethe'alla unless they have some leverage, but in Sylvarant, they have the home field advantage. Either way, it will be a tough journey regardless.
"Exactly my point, Lady Marta. How about you rest here while I scout ahead?" Tenebrae offered as he may be able to look up ahead without being notice while Marta rested up.
"Sure. It'll give me time to process everything up to this point." Marta replied positively as Tenebrae nodded and vanished in a trail of smoke. Marta looked up at the trees where the light shone down. By the looks of it, it must be mid-day by now. While she'd prefer to sleep in a cozy bed, she didn't mind camping out in the open as she had to did so with Brute many times before their home was rebuilt in Palmacosta.
'Daddy... I have a good feeling he's angry with me, but why does he want to destroy Tethe'alla? Sure the nobles are awful, but it doesn't justify killing them. Not to mention the Sylvarant Dynasty, what purpose would it serve him to become king? I thought he didn't care about our ancestral lineage that much to begin with.' Marta thought to herself as she tried to figure put what caused her father to change so drastically over the last two years. When they returned to Palmacosta to rebuild their home, while Brute was cautious about his daughter's safety (and she couldn't blame him), he allowed her some degree of freedom as she went on different journeys now and again. It wasn't until Richter joined the Vanguard that Brute's mindset changed and he started babying her, even to the point that getting a single scratch guaranteed her being confined to her living quarters at Vanguard HQ. Even with her own group of Vanguard soldiers under her command, she couldn't do much.
'I wonder what became of the Unit I was in charge of.' Marta thought about the people under her command, if she could call it that. As the daughter of Commander Brute, Marta had a small group of seven members, all female as Brute didn't want a boy doing anything funny with her, but it was obvious that her position was honorary as she didn't do much to earn her position. She manly used her high rank to try and help the people around her or if she didn't want to get involved too much in something that would be problematic for her, but she understood that she couldn't hide behind them forever. She even recalled protecting a Sylvaranti boy at Palmacosta from a Tethe'allan noble before being thrown onto the hard pavement. Fortunately, Richter came around to help them and even healed them both, although it didn't stop Alice from telling Brute about her injuries as Richter didn't fully heal her, getting her confined to her quarters. Marta hoped her former Unit was doing okay and that they wouldn't get punished for not guarding her.
'Alice... why was she trying to kill me? I know I don't like her, but why does she hate me so much that she would want to try and kill me!?' Marta thought angrily to herself as she doesn't get it. When Alice and Decus first joined the Vanguard, she didn't mind the girl at first until she saw how she treated the Combat Unit after usurping the position from Hawk. She hated seeing people being hurt, but Marta wanted to try and understand Alice, so she tried to bake some cookies for her and even gave Decus some, the latter of whom she would be decent acquaintances with. While Decus saved his cookie for later, Alice tried hers as soon as she got it and some time after, she instantly got angry with her for some reason, saying she hurt her teeth on it. Marta felt offended by that and since then, things only got more difficult between them to the point that Alice started to bully her, not so much physically, but definitely on an emotional scale. Marta began to think of Alice as a psychopath with her unit, Alice's Unit and a few other Vanguard members agreeing with her, but she tried sure to be respectful of Alice and Decus when they were close by, as to not start anything with Alice or upset Decus as he had a not so obvious crush on her. Marta briefly wondered what Decus saw in Alice if he's willing to ignore her harsh treatment of him. Sure, she's not physically hurting him, which is good, but she constantly regects his love confessions, which makes Marta relate to him on some degree, in addition to calling him Dumbo Decus, which is mean in and of itself.
'Would she really try to kill me over a cookie? No, that's WAY too petty! Alice is a lot of things, but not petty.' Marta thought briefly before laughing that off. Marta honestly didn't think anything was wrong with the cookies as she gave some to Brute later that day and he ate them with no problem to her knowledge. Maybe Alice's teeth were sensitive? She could have said so instead of being rude. Regardless, Alice began to call her MartMart, a nickname that showed she was on Alice's bad side as she even called The Chosen of Regeneration, 'Colettie'. Meanwhile, nicknames for boys are people she likes, like when she calls Hawk, 'Hawkie'. Try as she might, she didn't have a clue why Alice would bully her so much, let alone try and murder her. Regardless, Alice's bloodlust put her further on Marta's bad side, so this bad blood was unfortunately mutual.
'And Richter... he was always so mysterious. He tried to apprehend me and also protected me from Alice, yet he's trying to kill Ratatosk, who happens to be the only one who can fix the abnormal weather.' Marta continued thinking as Richter didn't seem like a bad guy. Again, he did help her and the little boy, in addition to being a good friend and ally to Brute as he holds the position of 'Chief of Staff', behind Marta and Brute in terms of position. He was always distant, so he and Marta weren't close to begin, but they always held a degree of respect toward each other. Richter respected Marta sense she's the daughter of his commanding officer while Marta respected him for being a friend of her father in addition to helping her back then. Now, she has to worry about Richter dragging her back to Brute if he catches her. But, what will he do now that Ratatosk's core is attached to her forehead? Hopefully, he won't do anything drastic...
Marta let out a deep sigh as she now made an enemy of the group she helped built. As of now, her only chance at stopping Brute's plans is to reawaken the Centurions and Ratatosk without being caught by Richter or being killed by Alice, assuming if she still intends to do so. After a couple of minutes passed, Tenebrae came back.
"Feeling rested, Lady Marta?" Tenebrae said as Marta got up and dusted herself off.
"Yes, much better. Thank you. So, did you find anything?" Marta replied before asking the Centurion on what he found.
"I found a trail up ahead, but I can safely say that it's Sylvarant soil. It would mean we must have drifted back over to the mainland after we left Palmacosta." Tenebrae theorized. On one hand, it brought some relief to Marta as any problems with Tethe'alla are out of the question for now, but on the other hand, they now need to be more cautious of the Vanguard.
"Okay. By the way, Tenebrae, is there something else I should know about Ratatosk's Core? Like if I can take this off or not?" Marta asked Tenebrae in regards to the the Core on her forehead. She's not worried about the life energy thing as Tenebrae said it wouldn't hurt her, nor does she mind the magic and chi it gave her if it did so, but it would be nice to not have this bumpy feather like symbol on her head as it kind of looks like she took a nasty cut and it's in the process of healing.
"Unfortunately, it can't be removed until Lord Ratatosk awakens, because if it's removed before then, you'll perish." Tenebrae said as a small silence grew between the two, with Marta processing what she just heard before saying something.
"What!?" Marta said in shock and concern as she now another problem rose. That means if Brute and Richter want the core, they'll have to do it by killing her!?
"I know I should've asked earlier, but a little warning would've been nice!?" Marta fumed as she took deep breathes to calm down. She knew getting mad at Tenebrae wouldn't fix this as neither of them anticipated this to happen.
"I apologize for that, but why ask now instead of back on the boat?" Tenebrae inquired as he brought up a valid point.
"Like I said, I was good for now two hours ago. But, this will make it hard in regards to Daddy and Richter..." Marta noted as she calmed down, while also scared that her own father and the man who protected her will now be out for her blood if they want the core.
"I highly doubt your father would kill you without a way to extract the Core from you, so you have nothing to worry about in regards to him, Richter on the other may very well try to take the core from you, even if it costs your life to do so." Tenebrae clarified to Marta, with the girl acknowledging that her father would NEVER kill her like that, causing her to chew herself out for thinking that way abput her father. Richter on the other hand...
"You're right about Daddy and as for Richter... well, let's hope he doesn't want to go through with that. So about this trail?" Marta replied to Tenebrae, sincerely hoping Richter won't cross that bridge when it comes down to it while asking about the trail Tenebrae found.
"Right. This trail is on Sylvarant soil as I said, but I also sensed two wingless dragons and once I got a closer look, it appeared to be a Caravan being pulled along the trail by those momsters." Tenebrae explained, expressing his surprise that two monsters are willingly pulling along a Caravan of humans. They must be friends with these people.
"Caravan? Out here?" Marta asked as Tenebrae led Marta out of the woods to see the Caravan being pulled by two wingless dragons like Tenebrae said. The sight alone impressed Marta as humans rarely interact with monsters. Despite her amazement, Marta began to feel nervous as now she thought it was a good time to tell Tenebrae something important.
"Um, Tenebrae? There's something you should know. I... I actually have motion sickness..." Marta said while slightly nervous, which struck Tenebrae as strange as they rode on a boat.
"But we took a ride on that boat out of Palmacosta and you were fine when you woke up." Tenebrae explained as he saw her himself.
"We had no other choice like you said, plus I was lying down most of the time, which made it bearable." Marta cleared it up as Tenebrae thought that she made a good point.
"Well, regardless of that fact, that Caravan may be able to assist us. We may be able to travel with them or give us a town to find and stay at." Tenebrae explained as he tried to convince Marta to ask for a ride, hopefully to a nearby town or at least a place to stay for the time being.
"I-I'm not sure..." Marta thought to herself, getting an idea what Tenebrae is suggesting, but was unsure. For one, they are on the run from the Vanguard, not to mention that she herself WAS a member, well FORMER member. She's worried that they may return her back to the Vanguard or have her locked up in a prison somewhere, considering the Vanguard's hostile behavior as of late. While she was thinking about what to do next...
*BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Two giant puffs of smoke went off on the Caravan as the two wingless dragons fell to the ground unconscious while the man holding the reins started coughing and got off the seat as a women and two kids, a boy and a girl, came rushing out of the Caravan to check up on the man.
"Darling!" The woman cried out to the man as she helped him up.
"Daddy!" The two kids cried out. Upon hearing this from close by, Marta knew that these people are a family. Suddenly two masked people jumped out, with the family only noticing the one in front of them while the second one slowly snuck up on the unsuspecting family, waiting for his move.
'Bandits!' Marta thought to herself as they showed up. How cowardly! Praying upon this family like that. But what could she do? She doesn't know how to fight yet. If she couldn't stand against Richter and Alice for a prolonged period, what chance did she have against two Bandits? The few times she saw them while she traveled with her father, Brute made absolutely sure that he broke their legs so they can never walk and threaten him, his daughter and anyone else ever again. However, she couldn't let this pass, so she picked up two rocks and began to get down to the trail.
"Lady Marta? What are you doing?" Tenebrae questioned Marta as he had a faint idea of what she is planning.
"I can't let this happen to an innocent family. Tenebrae, do you think can you pull that branch back and hold it in place?" Marta replied as she pointed to a strong sturdy tree branch.
"I can do that. Why?" Tenebrae questioned before Marta interrupted.
"Just trust me! I'm going to lure those two bandits away from them over to that branch and once I get close..." Marta explained to Tenebrae what to do, allowing him to fill in the plan.
"I let go of the branch and it should knock them out!" Tenebrae chimed in, impressed that Marta came up with a quick witted plan on such short notice. With that, Tenebrae got into place and pulled the branch back and held it in place while Marta sneaked down with the rocks she picked up and listened in, waiting for a good opportunity to get the bandits attention. As soon as she hid in a safe spot, the bandits and the family appeared to be in the middle of an argument.
"You heard me! Give us all your money or else!" The bandit with the white mask threatened the family.
"No! We need that money to pay for food and suplies!" The father argued back, before one of the kids got pulled in by the bandit hiding behind him. He was wearing a red mask.
"Daddy!" The girl yelled for her father as the bandit had a knife pulled on her.
"May!" The rest of the family cried as they now witnessed the little girl being held hostage. The sight alone infuriated Marta as she prepared to toss a rock at the red bandit.
"Let me try to 'negotiate', partner. Now good sir, give us all your money or the brat gets it." The red bandit threatened as he put the knife near her face, but before the father could say or do anything...
*TWACK!* *TWACK!*
Two rocks hit each of the bandits on their heads, causing them to knee over in pain as the daughter escaped her captor and ran back over to her family.
"Who the hell!?" The white bandit yelled as he and his friend saw Marta, who was glaring back at them.
"Why don't you pick on somebody your own size!?" Marta yelled out as the bandits now stared back at her, enraged that a girl like her hurt them with mere rocks.
"Mind your own damn business brat!" The red bandit yelled, despite the headache from the rock that hit his head.
"You disgust me, you know!? Threatening a family like that just to take their money! You two are nothing more than cowards!" Marta said defiantly as she stood her ground, hoping they'll take the bait, which seemed to work as they didn't like what Marta said to them.
"Hey buddy, why don't we teach this little mouse a thing or two about learning her place in life?" The white bandit said to his partner as he got his dagger out.
"With pleasure..." The red bandit replied with a sadistic smile as he got his knife out and the two began to chase after Marta, forgetting about the family for the time being. As Marta ran back into the woods and got past a certain point with the bandits closing in on her, ready to stab her to death.
"NOW!" Marta yelled to Tenebrae as he let go of the tree branch, letting it swing at the bandits, hitting them hard.
*WHAM!*
"AHHHHHHHHH!" The bandits screamed as they were sent flying out of the woods onto the trail. They were now seeing stars as they sat up.
"Did we... just... get our... asses kicked... by a little girl...?" The red bandit asked his dazed partner.
"Yes... yes we did... I knew we... should've stayed... in school..." The white bandit replied as he and his friend passed out.
"Dad, did you see that? That girl took care of the bandits." The boy asked his father in amazement as Marta came out from the woods, while Tenebrae remained hidden in the woods for the time being.
"Is everyone okay?" Marta asked the man and his family.
"Yes, we are all unharmed. Thank you, young lady." The man thanked Marta as the girl hugged her mother tightly for comfort, which reminded Marta of her own mother again. This brought a relieved smile to her face as she prevented another family from losing relatives.
"I'm glad to hear that." Marta said as she turned to the unconscious bandits. While she's happy the plan worked, her heart was still pounding as these guys aimed to kill her and if everything went wrong, she would have been good and dead.
"We should tie these guys up and turn them into the nearest authorities if we can." Marta suggested as the wife nodded. After disarming the two and tying them up along with gaging them, Marta took the time to talk with the family she saved while Tenebrae continued observing.
"Thank you again for helping us. My name is Nova, I'm a zoologist. This is my wife Sarah, our eldest son Alduin and our youngest daughter May. We are traveling the world in search of new species of animals and monsters." The father, now known as Nova introduced himself and his family to Marta, who was impressed that they travel the world the way they do in order to discover new creatures.
"I must thank you for saving my daughter, miss...?" Sarah thanked Marta before trailing off, not knowing Marta's name.
"Oh, my name is Marta Lualdi and you're welcome. I was looking for a path out of the woods when I saw your Caravan under attack." Marta replied while explaining what she was doing. She felt bad keeping parts of the truth to herself, but it was true that she was trying to find a path out of the woods.
"By the way, do you know where we are?" Marta asked, prompting some confused looks from the family before the son, Alduin, chimed in.
"We're in Sylvarant, miss Lualdi." The boy said, thus confirming where Marta was indeed in Sylvarant.
"Oh, thank you Alduin, and you can just call me Marta." Marta thank the boy as concerns were lifted from her chest while feeling slightly embarrassed with the formalities, strange as it sounds considering Tenebrae always calls her 'Lady Marta'.
"Um, Mr. Nova, would it be okay if you could wait here for a moment?" Marta asked Nova as she wanted to speak with Tenebrae about something.
"Yes, of course. Besides, we need to tend to our dragons as that smoke bomb really took the wind out their sails." Nova replied as Sarah and their daughter, May, got some medicinal herbs to heal the exhausted dragons.
"Thank you. I won't be long, I just need to get something from the woods real quick." Marta said as she went back to the woods to speak with Tenebrae. Considering Nova said that he's a zoologist, that meant Tenebrae might be able fit in without needing to conceal himself, which would also work in her favor.
"How'd it go Lady Marta?" Tenebrae asked, hoping Marta at least got compensation of some kind.
"I haven't asked them if I could get a ride yet, but I think I found a way you could be out in the open while we're with them." Marta said as she explained to Tenebrae what Nova and his family does. This interested the Centurion, as he usually kept out of sight unless he needed to be seen, but perhaps a zoologist would be more lenient with him and not panic. They are with wingless dragons after all.
"I see where you are going with this, but you do realize we would have to ride on the Caravan, right?" Tenebrae replied back, causing Marta to tense up a little bit. He got her there. How would Marta avoid keeping herself from tossing her cookies every 5 minutes?
"However, I might be able to help in some regard. You could... ride... on my back from time to time." Tenebrae said in a slightly embarrassed tone as he swallowed his pride to help Marta with her motion sickness.
"You would do that for me?" Marta asked out of curiosity, surprised that Tenebrae would offer something like that.
"I would. Besides, it will be nice and convenient to not hide myself for a change, but it might be best that I don't speak in their presence." Tenebrae explained as while he's not fond of being referred to as a monster, this may be the best source of cover, even if Marta introduces him as a Centurion.
"Okay. I don't like the idea of hiding things from people, but hopefully it'll work out." Marta nodded as she felt a ping of guilt in regards to her connections with Ratatosk and keeping her mission in regards to his existence a secret. With that Marta walked out of the woods with Tenebrae close behind her as they met up with Nova, who while checking on the dragons as they came to, seemed surprised to see the Centurion.
"Miss Marta, who is that with you there? I've never seen a creature like that before." Nova said as he expressed his curiosity at the unusual panther like creature before him. Was he a monster, a summon spirit or some unknown species of animal?
"His name is Tenebrae. He's a creature called a Centurion, one of eight actually." Marta said, reveling some minor information without revealing too much about him. Nova walked up and examined him closely.
"Ah, so he's something similar to a Summon Spirit then." Nova said as he then held a hand out to Tenebrae with him responding with his hand tail. Needless to say, the zoologist was amazed and intrigued.
"You could say that." Marta replied with a small smile. She didn't want to keep secrets, but it was for a good cause.
"By the way, I was wondering if we could travel with you for a while? I can ride on Tenebrae while following you. I can also procure some things and help out while I'm with you to save on money too." Marta asked, hoping they would at least let her come, while also voicing her intent to pull her own weight. She'll have too, considering the training she'll be needing for the Journey to revive Ratatosk later on.
"Sure, we'd love the company, but wouldn't you rather ride in the Caravan?" Nova replied as he wondered why Marta would ride her unique companion like a dog or a horse.
"I... get motion sickness in carriages and transports, so I believe I'll manage riding Tenebrae." Marta replied back, hoping Nova would understand.
"I understand, I won't press further then that." Nova said, understanding the girl's motion sickness issue.
"Anyway, we ought to drop these bandits off at the nearest town or by some town watch on this trail. Besides, we'll need to set up camp soon once we do." Nova said as he got back on the seat of the Caravan, hoping the dragons can last until they turn in these awful people in.
"Sure!" Marta chimed in as she sat on Tenebrae and with that, they followed closely behind the Caravan. Tenebrae made sure not to go too fast as to not agitate Marta's motion sickness. While she felt uneasy, it was nowhere near as bad as being on a carriage. Fortunately after a few minutes, some members of a town watch from another Sylvarant city came across them. Apparently they were returning to Iselia, which happened to be Lloyd's home town. After handing them over to the town watch, the Caravan found a nice shady spot to set up camp for the night.
Caravan [Night Time]
It was nightfall as Nova and his family fell asleep. After having a nice dinner with them, along with hearing stories about their travels and the creatures they discovered, they turned in for the night while Marta opted to sleep outside despite the family's insistence. This was for a good reason as Marta wanted to get at least an hour of practice in before turning in for the night. Going to bed around 11:00 PM wouldn't hurt her that much.
"Is this a good enough distance, Tenebrae?" Marta asked the Centurion as he cleared his throat after keeping quiet for so long.
"Yes, we should be fine. I hope they don't get used to seeing Centurions so often, but it's nice to know they're so understanding." Tenebrae added as he appreciated the respect Nova, Sarah, Alduin and May showed him and Marta. He didn't even mind the kids petting him and while he didn't like being treated like a dog, he kept his patience for them.
"Yes, but I feel bad about keeping this all hidden from them." Marta explained. Hiding things is never a good feeling as when it comes to lying, you end up deceiving people and when those kinds of things get revealed, trust and friendships get fractured... or broken...
"I understand how you feel, but rest assured that we are not doing anything to hurt them. Besides, once we get a months worth of training in, we should be good and ready to go." Tenebrae continued as Marta's eyes widen at how long they'll be traveling with Nova's family.
"A month!? Well, I did say that I'll pull my own weight anyway." Marta said as she won't be sheltered from the world's dangers like with the Desians and during her tenure in the Vanguard. She'll have to try and grow up. Besides, once she meets with that boy again, she'll have a knight protecting her. For some reason, her heart raced a little, but she kept it steady.
"Right, now then. Shall we discuss the fundamentals of magic and practice your healing artes?" Tenebrae said to Marta as he's ready to help her practice.
"Sure thing Tenebrae." Marta said as she sat down and listened to Tenebrae's explanation before learning how to practice her healing artes. After managing to successfully perform 'First Aid' a few times, the two snuck back to the Caravan for a good nights rest.
Tomorrow, they must travel again and who knows what sorts of adventures the two will get themselves into.
To Be Continued...
Marta and Tenebrae has joined up with Nova's Caravan. Where will they go from here for the next month while traveling with them? Will they be able to keep their secrets intact? Can Tenebrae continue with the 'Doggie' treatment? We'll find out next time!
Update: Grammer and Spelling errors fixed, along with reworked dialogue.
