Anastasia
It was early dawn when the nine set off. Valerie had tactfully said her goodbyes the night before. She was not there to see them depart.
There was a sense of anxious excitement in the air as the nine gathered and saddled up. They had not been as a unit like this since that first mission to deal with the wrath when they were 18. In many ways, this was something for most of them to look forward to. But in others... there was a sense of tension and anticipation rippling off of near every one of them. They were doing this.
They next time they came back, they'd find everything exactly as they left it, or a complete mess.
And the worse part? If everything was fine, they'd have to come back to pick it apart bit by bit in preparation for trying to raise Saul to the post of Commander.
As they rode away, it felt like the making to the end of an era.
Anastasia glanced back at the compound, the morning mist wrapping around it's large wall.She swallowed hard, catching Saul's gaze with her solemn own. She urged her horse on with a solid nudge, her face empty of emotion.
