After some time, far from the Overlord Clan's Shelter, the fortress lowered a massive platform.
The metallic groan of gears echoed as the lift descended, touching the ground with a heavy thud.
"Time to go," Shane said calmly as he looked at the group.
He had already delivered his warning to Lancelot. No ports, no shelters near the eastern sea.
That was enough for now.
Shinja, Sylas, Taylor, Earl, and Elandor followed him onto the platform.
As for Asad, he still had a secret mission he had to complete and couldn't join them yet.
Soon, the lift rose slowly, carrying them back toward the Floating Fortress.
From above, the fortress began to drift, its engines rumbling as it turned away from the Overlord Clan's shelter.
Its destination was the Waterfall Shelter.
The Waterfall Shelter was not far from here, nestled in a valley where waters provided both natural defense and abundant resources.
It was where Katrina, the Animal Summoner, had taken charge.
