Captive?

•Caesar

The wedding was wrapped up nicely and the day for our departure came.

It was a bit nerve wracking but I was ready.

I stood on the meeting hall stage with Arius, Nora and Azalea.

Now the thing was, many people were ready to support me but they didn't want to permanently shift into a new country.

I understood that, a new city is another thing but a different country? It can be a bit hard.

So we came up with a different strategy.

About two hundred people were ready to follow me to Nistia but only about forty people, after days of thinking were ready to stay there.

Thirty five of them were men while five were females.

So in the end it was decided that all two hundred would come with us and stay with us there until I had complete hold of everything.

After that they were free to return.

With the plan finalized we packed our basic stuff and got ready for our flight. Of course we were going there legally because this was not just some mafian business. We needed our identities so that we could become proper members of the country.

The rest of our stuff would be sent over when we do manage to take over.

As we were about to leave, my last steps became a bit heavy.

I was finally leaving.

"Nora!" Azalea hugged Nora with all her might, "We have to talk everyday!"

"Of course we will!!" Nora grinned, "How will I live without seeing your face!" She then pinched Athena's cheek who was in Azalea's arm, "And without seeing her cuteness?!"

Tears then slipped down from their eyes and they hugged one another tightly.

"The weapons have been shipped from here." I looked at Arius, "You know where you will find them."

"Yea."

Both of us were at a loss about what to say. Neither of us knew how to describe this feeling but we both knew what the other person was feeling.

Both us knew it wasn't the end of our friendship, of course it would last a lifetime just that parting after all this time was leaving a weird sensation in our hearts.

We stared at each other for a while but then I turned my head around.

Any longer and I might waver.

So I walked ahead.

"Take care Caesar." Arius said and I smiled.

"You too."

And just like that everything changed and I entered a new life.
