Chapter 194 : Leaving
The thunderstorm raged on, relentless in its fury, as heavy rain fell across the sea and drenched the Triangle Islands. Thick, dark clouds blotted out the sun, casting a gloomy pall over the islands and halting all activity. Ships that once bustled in the harbor of Whiteford City were docked, their crews forced to stay ashore. The newly built city buzzed with activity indoors, but the weather made further construction impossible. Tyler’s crew, along with the locals, hunkered down to wait out the storm.
"It’s raining cats and dogs out here," Tyler muttered, looking at the strom. He sighed, knowing that their journey would be delayed for an unknown period.
Beside him stood Hawk, unfazed by the downpour. She pointed to her wristwatch, a sleek, advanced piece of technology that seemed out of place in the storm-soaked setting. "Well, if you want, I can bring you to the academy using my portable waypoint." Hawk’s voice was casual, though there was a hint of mischief in her tone.
Tyler glanced at the watch, considering the offer for a moment. "No thanks," he replied, his voice as steady as ever. "I want to join with my friends. Is there any specific time we need to be at the academy?"
Hawk tilted her head slightly, thinking. "Yeah, you’ve got time. There are still six months until the next semester starts," she said.
"Six months, huh?" Tyler mused aloud. "Is there an age limit for joining?"
