Raihne’s Point Of View
*Knock... Knock... Knock...*
"Co in..." I sighed in response.
"Hey Raihne... Rohlander is here with so people who want to et you..." Jasper said, as he opened the door.
Among Rohlander and Tysse, there were also 7 new faces that I hadn’t seen before, standing behind him. They all slowly walked into the room and I could feel Sable tense up imdiately.
"And who might you be?" I asked.
"We are a part of Sylvester’s faction. I’m Jehstine this is my mate Ahtlan. Then there’s Trayce, Brahnsen, Cohrey, Syhlow, and Brahnnon. We’ll be handling the security detail from here. We can leave as soon as the rest are ready. Do you know how the surgeries are going?" Jehstine asked.
"Oh, uhm nice to et you. I’m Raihne, this is Sable and Delcain. That’s Nahana and Tahlia. Over there is Reah and Kaihsie. And last I heard they were on their last surgery. I’m not sure how long it will take..." I replied.
They seed eager to do sothing, anything and unfortunately I had nothing for them to do. If I was being honest, I was nearing my limit for everything. I was glad to have the extra help, but too defeated to properly utilize it.
"I forgive you brother, so stop beating yourself up and protect everyone else. Your leg is hurt but your brain is not."
’Haaah... if only it were that simple Payhne...’
"Sir...?"
"Raihne... She’s talking to you... are you listening?" I heard Sable ask, snapping from my thoughts.
"Hm? What is it? I apologize, I was deep in thought..." I replied.
"It’s fine. Honestly you’re in better shape than I gave you credit for. Sylvester’s n all have terrible tempers and are extrely hot-headed. Santiago might have made it sound grand but, he hates losing more than any of us. That infectious behavior has already spread to his n. He would have no doubt lost his mind if he stayed here any longer." Jehstine said, chuckling.
"Yeah... I can understand the feeling. You guys can just fall in line wherever. Ask Jasper or Rohlander where they need you. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning at best. I want everyone to rest in shifts." I said.
"Understood... and it may be rude of to say this but, please get so rest as well... an army is useless without its commander." She replied, smiling softly.
They then all turned around and headed back for the door. I relaxed back onto the sofa with a sigh. Nahana handed Tahlia to Delcain, before amassing a large pile of pillows and blankets onto the floor.
"You three need to rest. I’ll be fine for a bit, I’ll keep in touch with ahlene and Odehssa as well. The babies are sleeping now as well, this will probably be the best chance you get at having a peaceful sleep..." Nahana said once she was finished.
I nodded and lumbered to my feet. I had no fight left in to argue her decision, I was just too tired. Sable also seed to be dozing off every now and then as well.
Once I laid down and got comfortable on my back, Delcain and Sable crawled up to my arms and laid their heads on them. I was montarily stunned. I had expected it from Sable, but I didn’t have a clue as to why Delcain was trying to cuddle as well.
Sable was acting as if it were the most natural thing in the world and was passed out in no ti at all. A few monts after Sable fell asleep, and her breathing evened, I heard soft quiet sobs coming from Delcain. I imdiately understood what was going on. I never really gave it much thought, because he was always so damn reliable, but Delcain was around the sa age as and Payhne.
The day I almost lost Payhne was still heavily engraved in my mind, my busted leg was a constant reminder of how close I had been. These kids had been fighting to protect each other all their lives, and now he was feeling a similar sense of loss that I had.
I gently extracted Sable from my right arm and placed it on top of Delcain’s head. He tensed up for a mont, before sobbing again.
"It’s okay Delcain. I understand all too well. Just let it all out and get so rest. We’ll put on brave faces tomorrow, okay?" I said.
He nodded, then held on tighter as he cried. It was painful to see him like this and I understood why he didn’t want to let Sable see him this way. I too had been desperately trying to not worry Sable with my uneasy emotions and heartache.
’Haaah.... a big brother’s job is never easy, huh Del?’

yhymn’s Point Of View
I felt like a tea kettle nearing it’s boiling point. I had many regrets about the actions I took that led to this point, but my biggest regret was not installing a cara feature into Ezekihel’s tracker. It would beco useless if it was broken or removed. The one saving grace I had was that it would need a specific fingerprint to even reveal the key hole.
I understood that I couldn’t barrel my way into Lore’rahlye’s facility like we had done in Delgaide, but I didn’t understand why it was so difficult for us to formulate a plan. Knowing that there were secret exits made the attack difficult, but not impossible.
"Excuse , Jahcobe was it? Can I see that computer for a bit?" I asked.
Now that we had credentials, I should be able to access things without it flagging any of their Spyware. So I wanted to see everything I could to make a concrete decision on the plan of attack.
"Sure thing. But I’m going to hook it up to the TV here so you’ll have a larger screen to work with. Is that alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, that’ll be perfect. Do what you need to do." I replied.
*Knock... Knock...*
"That’s probably Santiago and the others..." Sylvester sighed.
I couldn’t say I completely understood why he was exasperated with his n. I thought more n to invade with was a good thing, so I welcod anyone who wanted to fight on our side.
Jayhsyn opened the door and 7 large n ca inside along with Bellamy’s mother and Aunt. Having these n with us would be an absolute bonus.
"Master, I’m glad to see that you are safe and whole. yhymn old friend, I bring gifts from Rohlander." Santiago said as he ca to stand behind .
He held out a large oversized bookbag to , and I looked at it a bit puzzled. Once I had the bag, I unzipped it and glanced inside. My eyes slowly widened in realization. Then I looked back up at Santiago a bit confused. He said it was from Rohlander, but these were the black boxes I had received from him previously.
"Santiago... Do you really not understand what these are?" I asked, quizzically.
He rely shrugged and walked back over to Sylvester’s side. This guy was unbelievable. It made curious to know just how much shit he had stolen without having the slightest idea what it did or what he could do with it.
Jahcobe got to work hooking up the TV to the computer, while I laid out all the black boxes around it. Once the TV was projecting the computer screen, I linked the boxes together and then connected them to the computer as well.
The familiar chis rang out and I imdiately got to work logging into the Lore’rahlye facility’s systems. I pulled up the schematics for the facility, and was thoroughly shocked by their ignorance.
"Am I crazy or does that schematic show the hidden exits with noticeable labels?" Gaibe asked.
"Nope you’re not crazy. That’s exactly what I see as well. Moreover, even though it has three levels, it’s just one big spiral down and then back up again with no stairs... only ramps...?" Lyukhe replied.
"It seems we were worried over nothing... Delgaide’s facility was a maze of hallways and dead ends. While Lore’rahlye’s facility looks like a 5 year old designed it." Sylvester said.
"I’m beginning to suspect that Charles built those facilities that way to protect the occupants inside, and not to trap them in it. My facility is also a giant maze." Zachariah said.
Once I got the lay of the land, I pulled up the cara feeds. To my disgusted surprise, they had more caras than they had security. There was at least one cara in each room, including the bathrooms.
There were only living quarters on the first floor. I counted roughly 45 rooms with at least 4 beds inside them. So rooms looked like massive sex dungeons, and they were currently being occupied.
I picked up the beer Jayhsyn had placed down for , and began to chug it down. I wanted to desperately calm my raging emotions that were threatening to overtake . Once I had reached the 2nd floor, I found all the offices were located on this floor. I looked at the cara for Hastings’ office and gasped in shock along with everyone else.
The beer bottle in my hand was crushed to pieces and my vision turned red in an instant.
’These fucking n will die a death, the likes of which will be transcribed into the history books!’
