"We don't know when that ship's docking, do we?"
Morohira muttered. He did not recall Isabella mentioning a time.
"No, we don't, but Ishi reckons it could be early morning."
The way Togashi phrased that caused the captain to raise an eyebrow and inquire further.
"How does she know?"
"Just a hunch, she said."
Came the less than reassuring reply. But it was met with his fearless grin – lack of information was not likely to hold him back, nor should it. It did not change what they had to do in the least.
They simply had to charge out and destroy the guard's forces, and then, the port would be theirs, and they could wait for the shipment as they pleased.
But because they did not know the timing, they were already on the water and the sun had yet to fully ascend into the sky, with patches of darkness still present at a few regular points.

Hello, for the next couple of weeks I'm just going to do one chapter a day. I'm having difficulty writing these current arcs, and I don't want to rush them too much. I wish to strike a balance between keeping temple arc rather short, but including the most important points. Thanks for reading :)
