Uninvited Guest

The carriages rolled out of the city as the people cheered. Arad looked back at the capital's gate, "I hope they don't keep watching us for long."

Aella giggled, "Would it matter?" She looked at the gate with him, "You can teleport us away with a void step before flying."

Arad nodded, "I was thinking of carrying the whole carriage instead of having you ride on my back."

She looked around, "We're not sending the carriages back." She giggled. They were numerous to ride on Arad's back.

CRACKLE! Gojo heard something in the back of his carriage. He turned, "Did you hear that?" He asked.

"Only luggage rolling in the back," Liliana replied.

"No," Gojo looked back, "That sounded like flesh on wood and a soft one at that."

"You know it's weird if you can tell that?" Lydia stared at him.

"You can sense people and animals like Arad. You would have sensed if anyone was there." Jack stared at him.
