"Get in the vehicles," Erik said, pointing at the transford clones. "We've already lost enough ti."
June wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "The kebab was worth it, Master. You should try-"
"Not now," Erik cut him off, though a hint of amusent crept into his voice. "We have more pressing matters to attend to."
The group approached the transford clones. Five of them had taken the forms of large, muscular beasts. tal harnesses connected them to the small trailers.
Erik had already given a look to them. They weren't the best for traveling through uneven terrains like a forest, but since the journey would take three days, he didn't really want to spend it being uncomfortable. He had already decided it would be best to avoid working vehicles, so this was the basic form of comfort he could get from the situation.
He would make the three girls happy, at least.
Mira inspected the setup with a critical eye. "Well, at least we'll be able to train during the journey."
"That's the idea," Erik said.
"The blackguards watch the skies and most of the forests surrounding the Law Gate, but we won't be spotted once we reach the tunnels. The problem is just getting there."
The others nodded and jumped on the trailer, but Emily paused before boarding. "Hey Erik..." Erik had tasked her with watching for potential dangers through her brain crystal power. Though he'd waited for her report, she had remained silent-until now.
"I've been monitoring potential futures..." She frowned. Sothing told Erik the things she saw weren't good.
"Is sothing wrong?"
"Well... I'm not sure," she hesitantly said. "It's just that I was unable to see what would happen at the Law Gate. Instead, I saw sothing about Mur..."
"Mur? Why?"
Emily's visions were seldom clear and were mostly random, but never trivial. If she saw sothing happening in Mur, it must have been significant.
"I would like to know too... My visions, they do not always work like I want; I'm not always able to see what I want. Quite the opposite. Most of the ti, I see things completely unrelated."
Erik frowned. "So, what did you see?"
Emily hesitated again. "I saw... bodies, lots of them, but I had been unable to see who they belonged to. Everything was... blurry."
"They might be the Blackguards," Erik said.
"Yeah, I thought about that, but I do not think it was them..."
Those words gave Erik pause. "The Chimaeric Demons?"
Emily nodded, looking worried. Her eyes lost their usual brightness, and she bit her lip. These were clear signs that her vision had made her uneasy.
"I think they were..."
That was a problem. If Emily really saw the death of the Chimaeric Demons, it ant Erik's preparations weren't going to be enough there.
Would he, June, and the three won die there? But why? If the blackguards survived there, why wouldn't he? Besides, he gave strong powers to Emily and Amber, and Mira could certainly flee by shapeshifting.
It was weird.
