Signing a definitive agreent with Nan's group wasn't difficult. In the group's first 20 minutes together, they worked out a complex agreent involving Vicente's requests, but also important details for both sides.
Vicente, Rex, and Larissa would travel with Nan's group and maintain a partnership until they reached the fairy Nan's group's ho, Aa.
In Aa, they could follow Nan's group's recomndations or not, and the fairy's group would have to help them avoid problems with the force she belonged to, in case the trio decided not to join that group and mbers of it decided to retaliate.
This help from Nan's group in Aa also included keeping his powers and origin a secret from anyone who didn't need to know.
Because of the agreent in question, Vicente told his real na to Nan's group, no longer so worried about repercussions related to knowing this information.
The other terms of their contract were standard things so that both sides could get along well during the journey.
With that settled, the group didn't leave imdiately. They gathered to eat and drink for the day, and talk about their journeys before uniting in that forest area. They wouldn't be leaving until the next morning, so Vicente soon told his stories and began to listen to Nan's side of the story as he finished with his own.
Nan was on the island to make deals with Stonewall, mainly. The force she belonged to was a dominant force on her island, just as Stonewall was for Light Cay. Forces like this used to maintain friendly relations with each other, especially with islands close to each other.
Anicane had over 10,000 islands, and the closest to Light Cay was Aa, an island six months' boat ride from the coast where Nan's group would soon be leaving.
Hearing how long the journey to Aa would take surprised the three individuals who had never traveled through Anicane before. It must be said that the speed of Light Cay's boats was not negligible. With the island's advanced technologies and its trade relations with Aa, both islands had boats that sailed so fast that, if they were in Polaris Realm, it would be enough to go from the southernmost point to the northernmost point of Polaris Realm in a week.
Vicente felt a little better about the size of Anicane because of this information, understanding why it was so difficult to get information from other islands or in-depth information from Anicane in Light Cay.
Anyway, the journey between islands was long and dangerous, but Nan's group had braved the dangers and co to Light Cay to acquire weapons and tools to deal with the threats in Aa. Supposedly, an enemy group from the force behind Nan's group was moving to rebel and take control of Aa.
Nan's tribe was doing its best to avoid a rebellion and, of course, to avoid losing sovereignty over Aa. Besides Nan's group, four other groups were traveling around the mariti region near Aa, looking for defense and control chanisms against their enemies.
Her tribe's enemy force had found a thod of growing as strong as them and put them in the delicate situation of having to seek outside help.
As far as Nan's group was concerned, she had obtained the weapons and tools she had set out to get, and now it was ti for her group to return to help her people.
Larissa and Rex were a little worried about discovering that a widespread rebellion could await them at their destination, but Vicente didn't see that much of a problem. In the words of Nan and his advisors, Aa had a dium power similar to Light Cay's, but was less technological and more focused on innate magical powers.
In practical terms, this represented a lower average cultivation level than Light Cay's, since the natives of the island they were on now were magically weak but strong with their weapons and artifacts.
Either way, the sa level of threat was sothing Vicente preferred. From what little he knew, Aa was closer to more powerful islands, so this place would be a stopover for him before he moved on to more powerful areas of Anicane.
As for facing an ongoing war on his arrival in Aa, that could be an opportunity for him who was at the end of the 7th stage.
In addition to the fighting and resources that always ca from confrontations like this, Vicente couldn't help but think of information about Anicane that he could get from the remnants of forces and specialists that had already fallen or were still to fall in Aa.
He doubted he would have all his questions answered, but perhaps he would get more answers about the Nine Paths when he arrived in Aa.
The group finished their conversation in the middle of the night, everyone now aware of what each side expected from the journey and the arrival in Aa, as well as their responsibilities during their partnership.
At the end of the conversation, the most important mbers of the group went to rest, letting the last few hours until dawn pass quietly.
With the dawn of a new day, Nan's group would dismantle their camp just before daylight, and the group of carriages would set off from the area south of Light Cay. From there, they would head for the southwest coast of the island, from where they would set off.
The journey by carriage, even with Light Cay's modern vehicles, was still a long one. It would take two weeks for the group to reach their starting point, if nothing were to get in the way.
At the beginning of the journey, nothing would stand in their way. They would make their way through the first few days of the journey calmly, with the Stonewall trio joining in the surveillance of the surroundings and guarding the group.
Aware of who Vicente really was, Nan's people would be a little worried about attacks aid at taking his life. But as they were traveling and avoiding cities, without getting involved in resource hunts or contacts with local tribes, things went well initially.
The journey progressed so well that, with three days to go until they reached their destination, the group felt they could leave Light Cay without any problems.
Vicente hoped so, but he was prepared in case sothing surprised them!
