Atlas cast a Void Blast at a group of pirates before turning to the brunette as the battle died down, ''Aren't we traveling together?'' he questioned.

Marcia regretfully shook her head, ''Now the empire is here. They will deploy the Everlasting Shields to other cities to protect them from raids and Nubian attacks, plus our commander ordered us to return.''

He watched her take out a small charm and hand it to him, ''I noticed your bracelet is some sort of communication device; if you add this to it, we can talk once a day, but let me send you the message first in case any officers are around.''

Atlas nodded as the survivors approached the shoreline, and a dozen boats approached them. Panic set in as he saw the approaching vessels, but Marcia quickly guided him toward the mountains.

We will most likely run into each other while there but be careful as not everyone is a follower of the Path Azhur'Zul."

Marcia pushed him into the forest, ''This isn't goodbye, boy; I will see you at Thalassar City as my contract ends in a few months. Now flee before the Immortals capture you.''

Atlas smiled at the older woman and said, ''It was nice meeting you, Marcia.''
