188 The Rescue team (part 2)

They finally arrived at the southern gate. Anne prefers to wait at the guard tower, along with Nathan and Leo, while Xavier, Brom, and Henry were discussing the best transportation to reach the last place where Justice was hiding.

“The last time, Justice sent his message was through Kirara and the only thing that he said was about him, his father, and Vale hiding on one part of the Bornego island,” Henry spoke to everyone when Arthur just came inside, his eyes were glaring at the magic knight captain at the moment. “You hear us, Arthur?”

“Loud and clear!” Said Arthur with a salute.

This tension between Henry and Xavier towards Arthur becomes deeper after they knew his intention against Anne. Even though the healer herself, she thought of Arthur as her new friend and nothing more than just a friend.

“Alright, so we need access to a ship, Bornego island is two days by ship, I already contact one of the small private ships, it will be ready on the fishing town which is three hours from here,” Henry instructed everyone, while looking at the captains who joined him below the tower, he already spoken to Nathan and his team, and right now, time is of the essence. “Alright, let’s go! We can purchase supplies at the fishing town.”

Arthur was looking around, trying to find one person. “Where’s Anne?”

Xavier scoffed. He just couldn’t believe how brash he was. “Wow, really, champ? She was upstairs with the other healers. They will go in a carriage while the rest of us will ride a horse. So, probably just minding your own business.”

Arthur smiles, but with gritted teeth, he approaches Xavier, with a glare in his eyes. Both of them have the same build. Although Arthur has a broader shoulder than Xavier, which will never make the werewolf whimper in fear.

“Oh, come on you two!” Brom was complaining, he rolled his eyes and gruntled, “I will tell the healers that we are leaving, both of you… Just go take your horses and deal with whatever you two are having later!”

.....

Henry pulled Xavier away from Arthur and took him into the stable. Xavier pushed Henry and scolded him.

“What is wrong with you?!” Yelled Henry at Xavier.

Xavier rustled his long hair and frustratingly screamed at Henry, “Did you see how arrogant that magic knight was? I hate it when he always asked or needs to be closed to Anne!”

“Get it… together, Xave!” Henry put his hands on Xavier’s shoulder. “We need to be level-headed right now. We can’t let our emotions get into the best of us, not when Justice and Vale needed us.”

Xavier closes his eyes for a moment and then nods his head, “You’re right… You’re right, I was too worked up by the sight of that d*mn magic knight, since he saw her, he becomes so relentlessly in pursuit of…”

“Hey! Hey! Look at me Xave. Trust Anne, she is not the type of girl who came to liking a guy almost immediately.” Henry tried to convince his friend, even though he also has his own doubt, but for him, the safety of Justice and Vale is his priority and nothing else. “Come on, let’s take our horse and get into the ship as soon as possible.”

As the other two gentleman goes to prepare their horses, Anne walks downstairs with Brom. He helped her put the supplies in the carriage, and when Anne was trying to enter the carriage, Brom pulled her aside. Leo and Nathan look at them, wondering how he needs to step aside.

“Hey, we are in a kind of hurry right now!” Shouted Nathan to Brom.

Brom waved his hand, “It’s only for a second.”

“What’s the matter, Brom? You kind of scared me out right now.” Anne whispered to her friend, she took glanced at Leon and Nathan who were waiting for her to enter the carriage.

“It is about the moonlight monster. I finally found their nest.” Said Brom at her.

“Really? We can talk about this later on, you know?!” Anne was furious. She knows how tactless Brom can be sometimes.

“Anne, the nest is in Bornego island, we can finally have some information about our problem!” He was elated while our heroine was already fed up with him.

“Alright Brom, that is a good news, now, can we go?” Said Anne with a forced smile on her face.

He finally let go of the purple hair healer and go to the stable. When Leo asked her what happened, he only answered that came from Anne’s mouth that Brom got a shiny new spell that he need to show to her. Nathan shakes his head and orders them to go inside the carriage. The rescue team goes to the fishing village of Kapaltaru, where the small ship will be ready to take them to Bornego island.

The road is clear, and while the captains using the horses, the healers were inside the carriage, putting their supplies in their medicine bags.

“We brought so much medicine. How come senior Nathan needs this much?” Leo had difficulty putting the medicine and medical supplies inside his bag.

Anne shrugged her shoulder. “I don’t know. You should ask him. All I was doing is to go to the supplies room with the list that he wrote.”

Leo was stopping, his eyes then looking directly towards Anne. “What did you just say? He… make a list?”

Anne looks back at Leo, with all the questions inside her head, “Yeah… he… he gave me the list and I even need to wait for thirty minutes for it.”

Leo went quiet, but afterward, just begin to work again. They get all the medicines and medical supplies in their bags and also at Nathan, and Leo even need to put in another bag to put the rest of the supplies. For the rest of the journey, he never spoke anymore until they finally reached Kalpataru. Nathan opens the door for them, but before he could approach the other captains, Leo holds Nathan’s arm and forced the senior healer to stop.

“Tell me the truth, senior…” Leo asked Nathan while glaring at him. “This is not just some rescue mission, am I right?”

Anne was baffled. She asked Leo the meaning of his words, “What did you mean?”

Leo took a glance at her and said, “Don’t you get it? This many supply means one thing, we are going into a battlefield.”
