Building A New World

Untitled Part 199

"Do you need some alone time?" Vicente asked Zack.

"Can we?" Yu requested while kissing Zack.

The others watching began snickering seeing the two on the ground. Andrea watching from above seemed irritated when seeing Amy just lingering on the tree above. Amy seemed happy to see Zack too, but just politely waived.

'Seems we need to send someone else. We can't afford to fall behind right now.' Andrea flew next to Amy.

"Why don't you greet him?" Andrea asked.

"I did," Amy replied with a confused look.

'Definitely need to switch.' Andrea sighed.

Walking into the clearing was Bella, and Lin watching their savior cuddled with a man upon the floor. Seeing them watching Yu jumped up walking over to greet them with a smile. The two young papillons poked their head out around their sister.

"Is everyone okay?" Yu asked Bella.

"Thanks to you two we are," Bella replied smiling at Lin.

Lin saw all the soldiers dressed in the same armor and saw them administering supplies to the people they rescued. When fighting the slavers they were ruthless but now there were no traces of hostility. Seeing Zack's wings as he stood up the papillons were captivated by the light illuminating from him.

"I heard you ran ahead," Zack said while wrapping his arm around Yu.

"Where do you think she gets that habit from?" Lilith teased.

"Do you need a place to stay?" Yu asked with a smile.

Bella looked at her sisters then at Lin waiting for her input. Lin knew the slavers would come looking again, and next time they might not be so lucky.

"Where are we going?" Lin asked.

"It's called Eden," Savannah replied while walking up to Zack.

"I fought to you know. Doesn't that deserve some kind of praise?" Savannah teased while wrapping her arms around Zack.

"It does, but the kind your wishing for can't be done with so much armor," Zack whispered while kissing her neck.

"We are starting the relief groups, and recruitment if you wanna get started upstairs," Vicente told Zack.

"Don't forget to leave extra supplies for those that stay, and if they have troubles to head for Long territory," Zack replied as he floated up.

"Can I come?" Yu asked.

Zack motioned Yu to jump, and she sprang up to bounce off the tree. She went flying through the air towards Zack and wrapped around him. Zack supported her by the thighs as they flew up towards the city.

They came up to a clearing in the canopy. There were so many trees fighting for the territory it allowed them to use their branches for a foundation. They cleared excess shrubbery, and harvested the large branches they cleared to fasten houses. Zack looked around fascinated by the way their city was entwined through the canopy.

'We should try this at home. I know Ericka would love it.'

Yu jumped down from Zack introducing herself to the people. Zack started his work on the array while talking to an elder about help against invaders. Once the array was set up they agreed to let anyone they recruited use it to transport to the others.

Hearing it could be used as an escape route they decided to keep it intact. As Zack was making a temporary elevator to the city one of the warriors walked up. His name is Kabul, and he was one of the warriors standing against the slavers.
