Last Days at the House

The day draws closer to our final test as students of the House of Bells, and our preparations quicken as we ready ourselves to depart. The information we received was somewhat disturbing, but not entirely unexpected.

It seemed that two Lost Eggs from Pasiap's Stair had fled and met up with a group of slaves. We're told that these slaves were from the Hundred Kingdoms, and that these outcastes had been from that land as well. I could not help but admire their dedication to their own kind, but on the other hand such dedication was as well misguided. It was a waste of their ability to squander it on freeing slaves in such a manner. Did they really believe that they could escape with so many people?

Nonetheless, the suppression of this 'army' is the task that was given to me and my soon-to-be brotherhood. I admit that I feel a sense of excitement in this, and I look forward to proving myself on the field of battle.
