25. Reason for armored foxes.

Nearly two hours of pushing the worn out beast to its limits, Silver back the throttle back. The immediate response from both the sensors and the crackling of the thruster packs, makes it clear the strain that it and everyone else had to bare with. "Everyone still good? We are going to continue and hopefully push through the desert by the end of the day, any objections?" One can barely hear her muffled voice clearly, but they manage and no one speaks up, beyond ready to get through this region as quickly as possible. With that, Silver drives nearly half a day without another soul disturbing them as they travel,slowly everyone's adrenaline wears off, leaving them shaky and exhausted. Anyone that can rest despite the environment does, mostly the men in the car, but the swordswomen, and Silver's mother are also passed out, Micah too slumped on his seat. As the sun starts settling after a brutal day, the group choose to drive on through the night, despite Silver's clear exhaustion. Circulating her mama through her body, allows her to keep barely enough energy for the journey, dodging giant scorpions and sands snakes, and a strange creature with a stinger tail moving quite fast in the sand, but stay fairly close to watering holes giving up their pursuit quickly. Weaving as she does, making a different path than most maps suggest, it adds to their journey, but only the driver knows it. A half days travel behind Silver, a new convoy of bounty hunters, with more than a dozen war buggies, with rocks launchers, and anti armor munitions. But they choose the map path, being marked as the fastest and safest path through the desert zone, safest during the day that is. A mercenary minotaur mounted on a large vehicle, similar to Silvers beast. He wields a large solid metal spear. 'Feth that Lil brat, how did she run so far after taking my axe like that? And where the hell is my ax?! I am going to kill that crippled runt!' The bull roars in anger, fending off all sorts of beasts as they smash into the vehicle and convoy. "Fething bitch!!" And a few hours behind them, the remains of the first attacking bounty hunters, led by a neko woman dressed half bounty and half prostitute in style, with an eye patch over one eye is pushing her team through the furthest side of the desert, hoping to cut silver off. "Where the hell did such a brat get so much firepower, and mama, what the fuck was up with all the turrets? Fucking catch up you dumb fethers!" She screeches at her crew, hiding a deep fear of the fact that she watched two vehicles get obliterated and anither two forced to wreck. 'I am going to claim that bounty over her dead body!' From another city,much further ahead, a war party mostly filled with well armed elves and dwarves are just leaving, their goal? A very high value bounty. Moving to intercept on the outer edge of the reason, some having guessed silvers goal and plan to block her, or lay a trap just for her. An almost ominous music begins to play, low and near inaudible from the heavens begins, a warning, or a promise, the gods are watching this all as if a game with rapt attention."place your bets on how you see this unfolding!" A god covered in gold trinkets and surrounded with woman of all sorts of beautiful races, a goblet in hand says a smirk on his face as he gazes down from his seat through a cloud of vision, looking much like a tv in the floor showing everything happening."hamm, I have a wish of truth on the Lil brat, she shows quite a bit of craftiness, and i like the name of her team...armored foxes, who would've thought?" A feminine god replies, betting a gods heavenly truth, a sort of heavens law, a prized possession amongst the gods."a gods truth on that reckless weakling?fine, i have a piece of my personal collection on her death or capture." A gruff voice coming from a dwarf but well built god. "That's all? Hmm I have a mark of blessing on the head of that child making it through." A calm but ancient voice can be heard, the shepherd god, steps forward with a weathered smile. "I have my finest heavenly wine on her as well." Another calls, and like that, the gods lay bets on or against silver making it through this manhunt.
