บท 488: Brewing Storm (2)

The sound of roaring engines disrupted everyone's sleep. The alert guards rushed out, weapons in hand, to deal with the enemy, only to find a familiar ship heading their way. 

"Captain is back early?" Ricochet whispered, "Someone alert Madam Avalina! Everyone else, take your positions! It could be an enemy attack!"

Before departing for Nirvana, Ashton had mentioned it might be three months before he was back. But seeing as he was back earlier than expected, it could either be a blessing or a curse, and Ricochet wasn't going to take any chances either way. 

'Hopefully, it's the former, but it's better to be prepared for the worst. I don't want to see that man rage ever again.' Ricochet thought as he was reminded of what happened back on Occuna.

Little did he know the anger Ashton had felt back at Occuna was nothing compared to his current raging eyes.
