Chapter 94: Distraction

By the time I reach the side yard of the palace, the coalition force is already parked out front, have won through the initial barrier Rupe put up in front of them. Femke still doesn't seem to be in fight mode, but from the tense feel of the standoff, battles could erupt at any moment.

I'll leave it to them, though I wonder when Syd's distraction will come into play. Curious, I reach out to her and feel her immediately.

Let me know when you're in position, she sends.

You've been waiting for me? Probably an excellent idea and something I should have thought of.

Of course, she sends. We all have. She pauses. Something's changed.
