RearAdmiralZill:
--Start of day 120--
-Narrator-
Zill was slow to wake today. Yesterday also took a toll on him. He couldn't place it, but his body just wasn't quite up to the task of being the admiral lately. He shook off whatever thoughts he had and got ready to interrogate Sebastian himself. All of the previous accusations bounced around in Zill's head. All that service for the baronies just to get targets on their backs....Jun'ko broke his daydream.
Jun'ko
"You look like a lost puppy."
Zill
"That obvious? Just too much going on, and personal thoughts of my own. You seem alight with current affairs."
Jun'ko
"I go with the flow, and right now that flow it tied with yours."
Jun'ko embraces Zill. It lasts a few minutes before he nods and heads out the academy towards the council chambers.
Upon reaching the holding cells, Zill stopped just before rounding the corner to Sebastian's. He knew that regardless of the information gained, there was no way Anvala had the resources to go after any Baron military officials. Sure, one or two may disappear, but who knew how far the order had gone? Plus, Zill hated enemy spies. It was like a poor in-law relationship which involves bullets. He made his decision, for both present and future.

Yiski:
--Academy--
The day had been uneventful for the Commander. Given little confirmation on Sebastian's allegations and not having any other weapon to make or modify, Yiski had slept in and, for the first time in years, had absolutely nothing to do. It bothered him, a lot.
Yiski never liked the idea of taking a day off unless it was necessary (i.e. near death, unconsciousness, forced recovery, etc.). Lauren knew this all too well from their past and tried to keep Yiski occupied for the entire day. Sadly, she ran out of things.
The two and Althea were sitting around a table in the Academy's mess hall. Yiski was fidgeting his right leg and tapping the table with his fingers.
Yiski
"Still should've...."
Lauren
"We know already, it's not like you haven't repeated it a hundred times already."
Althea
"Fifty-three times actually." *getting a look from Lauren* "Please, I'm just as bored as Yiski is."
Yiski
"Fine. How about we go and about the city?"
Althea & Lauren
"Works for us."
RearAdmiralZill:
-Narrator-
The group really had a good day for once. Everyone went about their business, some exploring the city, and others relaxing with their loved ones. The "busiest" one was Zill, who had plans that would rattle the council to it's breaking point. However, that is not for this day.

--FINAL EVENT: END OF DAYS--
--NARRATOR--
--Lord's Point, Baronies--
Unknown to the wider world, a few of the Baronies nobles successfully overthrew the current government and placed one of their own as King of the Baronies. These nobles were also the same group responsible for Sebastian and Wyrm. The new King's objective was to expand the influence of the Baronies further west. Many considered Anvala to be the key prize in their expansion plans. Anvala's vast array of weapons and high wealth made it an obvious target.
Knowing Anvala's defenses and its recent upgrades, the King of the Baronies ordered all available fleets to fly towards Anvala and overwhelm all their defenses.
However, there were a few unwilling participants in the matter. For one, Yiski's old friend, Roy, was separated from the rest of his flying fleet and forced to captain for the regime's loyalists under the threat of death of his family and friends.
--Throne Room--
King
"Are the preparations complete?"
Loyalist
"Almost, your Majesty. It will still take another few days in order to recall and reorganize our fleets for the Anvalan assault."
King
"It's a shame we could not take out their defenses with Wyrm or claim Yiski."
Loyalist
"Even so your Majesty, I doubt the city can withstand the the power of our entire fleet bearing on them. If you will excuse me, I will continue to organize our assault."
King
"Very well."

Yiski:
--START OF DAY 122--
--NARRATOR--
--Lord's Point, Baronies--
Preparations were nearly complete for the King's plan to invade Anvala. Claiming the city would allow the Baronies critical access to additional trade routes as well as extend their influence across the Burrens. Currently, the Baronies fleet consisted of over sixty vessels of varying types in addition with over eight thousand infantry to storm the city. By the time their plan was to commence, those numbers would only increase.
--Anvala--
Things had been equally tense in the city since the last few days. The Council was increasing the restrictions of where Yiski could go and when. While Yiski wanted to disregard the new restrictions, a large group of guards prevented him leaving the Academy grounds. However, the original order on his friends was lifted and they were allowed to roam the city again without the need of guards.
Angry of not being able to run the saloon, Yiski temporarily gave control to run the saloon to BdrLine. This came about because BdrLine still did not have a place to stay. The two compromised that BdrLine could stay at the saloon so long as he ran it while Yiski couldn't.
Zill on the other hand was feeling a bit uplifted when he saw his galleon Then It Was Rebuilt... well rebuilt. Though completely salvaged and rebuilt, the ship wasn't too much to look at. Zill sighed thinking the ship looked a lot like him. The more he thought of it though, the more it brought a smile to his face.
While today would be calm, tomorrow would be anything but that.
