Sev stirred and opened his eyes to see his four children all standing over him with wide-open eyes, creepily watching him sleep.
"Can't a man get a bit of sleep without his damn kids always sticking their dicks where they're not wanted?" Sev asked, getting up and stretching out his arm. Rex chuckled and threw him his metal arm, which automatically reattached itself to his stump.
"I'm guessing that you've gotten The Warning as well?" Severin asked, walking out of his tent and beginning to inspect the camp's workings and production. Drek nodded.
"Ari's corrupted by the power those Wanderers give him, but out here, we can finally put an end to this madness," he added, snapping his fingers and taking a sip of wine from the flask that had just materialized in his hand.
"Well, we better get the others I've met in this land together, we'll need them if we want to stop the Bri-" Sev was interrupted by a massive blast that destroyed five tents and ripped a crater ten feet deep. The five turned to face a massive steam ship flying the British Colors rapidly fire canon after canon into the camp. The ammo was not of history's telling, covered with a black mist, it was infused with the utter Ambition and Power of the captain of the largest ship.
"It's the god damn H.M.S. Devil Tongue! Jake yelled, bolting towards the Rebel's Escape Boats along with the rest of the army. His siblings followed, but Sev took a moment to glare at the flagship, the Devil Tongue, and send a message to its commander.
Fire shot from the sky and destroyed an invading frigate, the flaming driftwood shooting into the sky, forming words. The Wanderer of Mastery, Zero, stood out on the deck and chuckled at what he saw.
"Come to your Doom, eh?" he chortled and drank some ale, "FIRE AT MAX SPEED!"

Hours later, the Five and 2/3 of the Army made it to the main land and trekked a mile in, just to be safe. They had outran the Fleet, but only just.
"We need to find the Emperor, he's our only hope," Rebecca declared. Sev drank from his goblet and roared.
"He's DEAD," he cried out, slamming his cup into the ground and sending hundreds of shards into his hand.
"Well, we'll just find those folk you spoke of, Zero has to be stopped, I'm not going back to what I was before," Jake spoke solemnly, chewing on some meat slowly. Sev sighed and lay back and descended into a deep sleep, thinking about how his mortal foe, The Wanderer of Mastery, would eventually face him, The Wanderer of Doom, in the final showdown.
