Barracks Trip: The Void Monster

The days passed quickly at the Temple. Lee Seng and Keng spent their time making the recruits run around and taking Fae and River on rescue missions whenever a beacon showed up. The last day had come and the temple was filled with laughter. Lee Seng sat outside with his friends, underneath the same tree Keng had always sat at. It had the most shade and he felt far enough away from the noise to feel a semblance of peace.

"Today's the last day, right?" Liz asked. "What're they gonna do after this?"

"I think they have a couple more days of training at the temple before they go home." Keng answered. "Brother Zixin says they'll do the whole march back home. It's more training in of itself." He leaned back onto his hands and smiled. "Sucks to be them. The trek will be long and hard."

"Shut up." Lee Seng glared at Keng. Keng, Evan and Ritsuka laughed louder.
