The group of six had started their journey to head back to Avrion, and although they could have ridden on the back of Noir for a quick journey, it would draw too much attention. Perhaps some guilds would have started hunting it.
There was also the fact that the Redwings were now in enemy territory. However, the Queen herself wasn't against the Redwings in any personal way. That didn't mean others felt the same way. It was more likely that they would try to capture the Redwings to get on the Empire's good side regardless if the Queen had given an order or not.
Right now, the six of them were at the back of a carriage. Using the money that Jack and Martha had earnt, they hired a man to take them there. It was a costly ride since Avrion was considered a long way, and there were even fewer people willing to go there now.
At first, nearly every person had refused, but eventually, they had found a man greedy enough to do it for the hefty sum of a gold coin.
This is the start of a new arc, we have about two more to go before we head back into the war with Gary. Although these two are some of my favourites. As old characters return and new ones arrive.
Rember to vote for the story if you enjoy it, it really helps
