134 Ill-Fated

Jayce, Jackie and Amber were moving through the ruined streets of the city, looking for a suitable place to set up the teleportation array. The girls were eager to quickly set up the circle so they could use it to head back to their houses in Bastion.

They rounded a corner, dodging the debris and the smell of rotting garbage before their eyes finally landed on a clearing. Its paved area was similar to the one in Bastion where Jayce had prepared the feast on their first night.

"This will do." Jayce said, nodding his head.

"Thank god, I was beginning to lose hope." Amber rubbed her hands together, not bothering to hide her relief.

"Can we just build it now?" Jackie blurted out with an air of impatience.

Jayce's eyebrow twitched as he attempted to calm down after copping an earful of nagging this whole trip. 'You say it like it's so easy!' he yelled in his heart with annoyance.
