Vol 7 Chapter 14 (2/2)
Idonea was quiet for a moment, then responded“Thank you”
She just wanted some comfortBut what could he do? Tell her that he’d dumped her father on another world?
He was a rare sort of ift that he did not want to use in Cloudhawk’s serviceIt was a tricky probleo, it would only be athem stranded on another planet was essentially a death sentence, just one that took a long timeHe wasn’t sure how to solve this issue yetHe hoped with tiainNeither knehat to talk about
By the time dawn peaked over the horizon they felt the shi+p trembleIt meant the shi+p had dockedThey’d arrived
The eastern sky was gradually brighteningTheir voyage had lasted about five hoursA straight shot at the speed of an average shi+p would have taken them out of the realm, but Cloudhawk looked around and saw that they were still in StormfordThey o”
As ether, they expected to be placed in the same unitEven the holy army wouldn’t separate them
A military base was revealed when they stepped onto the deck of the shi+pIdonea had never heard of this place, which was no surpriseIt was secluded frouarded secretMost of the buildings were bunkers or extended underground so its surface footprint was kept unobtrusiveInside, though, it was like a huge maze

“Demonhunters! Please come this ith your identification ready!”
Cloudhawk brought Idonea down a long hallwayThey were subjected to several checks until at last they reached an e them were scores of others, all dressed as demonhuntersMany were in their middle years but there were a few fresh-faced youthsCloudhawk and his young wife stood out a the crowdHe didn’t have a lot of tiroup and made his voice heard
“Transport shi+ps are on their wayGet ready to depart”
Over the next hour several more demonhunters arrivedEach of theood demonhunter was equivalent to a thousand soldiersGathered around them noere several hundredIt was an impressive lineup, and all this in just one transport
All eyes rose skyward as a thunderous roar brokeA shi+ning airshi+p descended from the clouds and over the baseIt had to be at least four tier than a typical battleshi+p with six visible pylons pouring energy“You’ve got fifteen ot low enough it opened several doors and people started to file insideIn short order the many soldiers were safely aboardThe doors shut and it lifted offIt took less than an hour for the shi+p to appear, take on its passengers and leave again
Obvious to all was the layer of energy that hung over the battleshi+pAs it continued to rise at a surprising pace, no one felt any discomfortIn a short while until they broke above the clouds and low painted the roiling clouds an ethereal hue
It felt like they were on a vast, undulating seaStill they roseWhat little bits of the earth they could see beneath the clouds shrank awayThe vessel’s arc carried it along until the sun appeared in the distanceFar behind theBeloas an endless expanse of wasteland

As gravity gradually lost its hold the air grew thinPeople walked around feeling strangely light as they reached a hundred kiloave way to black space and looking out at the horizon, once could see the curve of the planet
The journey lasted ht in the darknessIt expanded until everyone could clearly see the nificent fleet of the holy armyThousands of shi+ps were encoht in a netThey hung in place or shuttled back and forth in lazy patterns
The docks were stuffed with vessels
Over a hundred Seraphs were eBridges of sterling white joined it all together in a staggering and impressive webIt was even more incredible when one realized it had all been done in the space of a h the fortress was still under construction it was already a sprawling citadelA sprawling arathered, ready to launch when Skycloud rolled by belowThe coet off the face of the planet
