Rescue Operation

The next day, by the time the sun had risen, everyone was ready.

They gathered in the large gym behind Sera's mansion. It was enormous and had more than enough space for everyone to fit.

Everybody was there already. There were 40 people in their full gear. Looking at the large crowd, even the bravest soldier would be scared shitless.

In one corner, Jill was chatting with her family of 6. A few other people were with them, some of the Ouroboros Cohort, Lucy and Will. They actually seemed excited about this rescue.

After these past few weeks, Helena wasn't the only one with the seven-pointed star on her armor. Each of the Black Crusaders and Ouroboros Cohort members had one.

As the Angelic Order's presence became more prominent in New Constantinople, they joined their ranks, too.

Even Percy and Kathy had these as well. They were both intimately speaking with their partners.
