"Begin? Begin what?" Sophie asked. Just as she did, she noticed that they had all been surrounded by many men.
Ning noticed that as well and slowly reached for his sword on his waist.
"What is this?" one of the men asked. Everyone else prepared for a fight as well.
"Please stay your hand," Erman said. "Our intention here is not to hurt you."
"Then what is it?" Frank asked while holding onto an air sword of his own.
"Our intentions will make sense to you all once we reach our destination. Please come with us," the man said.
He started walking in the opposite direction of the fortress behind him.
Ning couldn't help but look toward Sophie for some sort of answer. She was the one that had been helping him with understanding stuff for a while now, so he couldn't help but rely on her.
"Are we being attacked?" he asked.
