"Habresal,"
I muttered as the ship docked into Habresak; one of the coastal gems of the eonsil continent.
After the long journey of over one and a half years through the dangerous sea, we had reached it. I wanted to jump off the balcony, even the protective layer wouldn't be able to stop .
I controlled myself; there was no need to be hasty when I could get out within a few minutes.
I have finished all my business on the ship. I had t with all the friends and colleagues; I had made on ship and traded information and things.
There is nothing left to do here other than leave.
"Ladies and gentlen. Thank you for traveling to Oti's Grand; we hope you had a pleasant experience and travel with us again," said the captain.
Click!
A minute later, I saw people disembarking the ship. I walked out of my suite, after looking at it one more ti; I had cleaned it thoroughly of any biological and aura samples.
I didn't go for the exit, instead, I went to one restaurant and saw the people, I had to et.
"Carlos," greeted. "Ven," I said and nodded at Sarena and Klea, before sitting on the empty.
"It was a journey to be rembered. Thank you for all the help, you have provided us, Carlos," said Sarena.
"You would have done the sa," I replied.
"I hope, we will et again," said Ven and I smiled. "We most certainly would," I replied, and they nodded.
I liked them and not because of the data, I had provided. They are nice people and I hope they haven't been what they are; it will be a dangerous life till they die.
I sighed internally and brought out the reason for the eting.
A small wooden box appeared in my hand, and I slid it toward the young girl. I liked the young girl; she reminded of my sister.
So, I crafted sothing for her personally; it took quite an effort and days of study, but I was able to do it.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Sothing that will help you," I replied, and the eyes of two older lit up. They turned misty a mont later, as they understood what could be there. It would save the young girl's life if she suffered the sa thing as her brother.
"I hope, you all have a safe journey toward your destination and good luck," I said and got up before walking away.
I am not good at the goodbyes, but I waved last ti, and they waved back.
Hun!
Soon, I was at the exit when I suddenly stopped and turned. "Captain," I greeted the man who stopped in front of .
"Carlos, thank you. Without you, surviving the suppressive zone would have been difficult," he said. "Thank you for the kind words, Captain," I replied, and the man smiled before taking a white crystal card.
"I travel through this route. If you ever co to the city and I am here, et ," he said.
"Definitely, Captain," I said.
A minute later, I was out of the ship and in the sunny sunshine of the Habresal. It is a beautiful city, as big as the Veraz and just as prosperous with Pri as its lord.
It also didn't have the best relationship with the Tor. So, I will have to get out of its territory before contacting the organization.
That will take three days. It is a boundary city; the neighboring organization is also Pri and that one has a much better relationship with Tor.
Though, I am not leaving today. I have a few things, I have to do in the city, before leaving it.
"Friend, do you have things to sell? Our consortium will pay a good price for the goods you have brought from the other confinent," said a young, handso man.
"Not interested," I replied and faintly released the aura of Sky Sovereign as the warning.
He understood and walked away, toward another person.
I had kept the aura active and kept it hostile level. It imdiately stopped. Many people trying to co.
I have no interest in selling anything I have and what I want to sell; I didn't want to sell in such settings.
I have brought a lot of things on this journey. Not only for , but also for the organization. I am going to mix, my stuff into it.
There are things I want from the organization. It is filthy rich with the resources that will make even soone like salivate. It isn't surprising to see it as a Pri Organization.
A trash of pri is a treasure for anyone below them.
I didn't book the hotel imdiately, instead explored the beautiful city. It is a trading hub, things from all over the world co here and there are few things I wanted to buy.
So of these things are expensive in the organization. Seeing the few months, I won't be able to get out of the organization, I wanted to buy them.
Soon it was the evening, and I walked into a small restaurant. I ordered and waited for my order to arrive.
I felt alone seeing the people sitting with friends and families. I wanted to do that too and a few friends I had made on the ship had even invited , but I politely declined their invitation.
I am cautious. No, that wouldn't be the right word.
The right word would be fearful, not of the danger, but the emotional connection I might make with people. So, I always maintain a distance from them.
I used to do that in my native world, but it has beco bigger here.
Since I ca here, I haven't made a single friend like Jim. I maintain a distance, even with people in my organization. So I very much like.
There are always excuses, the biggest one being the forbidden power.
If I found out, their life would also be in danger, and I don't want to happen and thus maintain the distance.
I plan to try better. It is no life without aningful connections, and I deserve to have so.
