Chapter Text
As they sorted through the bodies of the slain raiders, something became increasingly clear. They all had the same specialized armor that Geoff had, armor not found in this area.
“Armor like this comes from Cainyan,” Geoff said. “That’s where I got mine, and that has to be where they got theirs.”
//What’s Cainyan?// Kdin asked, looking the armor over.
“It’s a cluster of kingdoms far from here,” Jack said. “Chorus, Azul, and Crimson are the main ones.”
“We should go investigate,” Geoff said. “Jack, Ryan, and I will go, the rest of you can stay here and hold down the fort until we get back. Michael, as my eldest and heir, you’re in charge until we return.”
“Why are you leaving at all?” Ray asked. “So they’re from Cainyan, so what?”
“Because this is a long way to come to raid a kingdom,” Geoff said. “Something could be happening there, and if trouble gets big enough, it could spill over here.”
“He’s right,” Jack said. “What happens there has a habit of spilling out elsewhere. It would be better if we go nip it in the bud sooner rather than later.”
“What about us?” Michael said. “Why can’t we come with you?”
“Because someone needs to hold down the fort while we’re gone,” Geoff said. “Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon.”
“Where will you go first?” Gavin asked.
“Crimson,” Geoff said. “I think King Sarge would like to hear about this.”
