New Mission Begins

The next day, the group was up just as dawn was approaching to prepare for the day ahead. Governor Elis had helped Ryker iron out their plan of action the previous night before they enjoyed some food prepared by the others.

The medicine had helped Raquel rest better, but she was still at a risk. Ryker was close to becoming a worry wart about the whole thing and a small part of him feared what that meant.

But he didn’t dwell on it for too long. There was so much that needed to be done anyway, so his mind was distracted enough.

Once camp had been broken and everyone was set to go, Governor Elis began splitting everyone into their groups. He gave them orders and Ryker handed one of them letters for his mother and Brian as well as instructions.

Governor Elis had already sent another hawk earlier to the castle to prepare for Raquel’s arrival. Thus, Ryker didn’t have to give too many instructions.
