Chapter 12 - Infiltration

"To begin, you should call me Thalrion. Now this is what I need from you: we have 30 minutes to accomplish this goal." The voice in Anna speaks and gives instructions." 1. Lumevine, a flower that has a faint silver and green glow, is past noon now; it's easy to find." 

Anna notes it down," We need sea rocks, the key is the connection it has with the sea. and the vital key is your eyes." Thalrion says. 

Anna was surprised and asked, "Why my eyes?"

Thalrion: They work as a catalyst and a gate between you and Rex. Now fetch those items.

Anna leaves the house in a rush and runs straight to the sea, then grabs some stones. "Sand is fine, it will make everything easier," Says Thalrion. 

"You should have had that before; I could have brought a plastic bag," she furiously shouts at him. Then she tears off a part of her t-shirt and gathers sand in it. "Done, now for the Lumevine flower. They grow far back here in Roknir village. I noticed them while looking for my sister 3 days ago." She sprints to her location near where she met Rex for the first time. 

She arrives and finds the flowers, glowing with the light of the moon, releasing a beautiful mixture of silver and green light. Their scent is sweet as honey, and the area they dwell in always has a fresh breeze of air, beautiful in every way.

"We found them," she says, her eyes reacting to them, bringing a slight glow in her crimson eyes. "We're going to do the process here," says Thalrion.

"What are we doing to exact? "Anna asks Thalrion. While she uproots a flower. "We're going to make a portal, now put the flowers within the sand and smash them together." Thalrion command.

Anna started smashing and mixing them until everything was a mix and dust. "I'm done," she says, waiting for Thalrion to tell her what to do next. "Now I need you to focus your Veyra on that mixture, and I'll do the rest." Says Thalrion.

She stretches her arms and focuses her Energy on the mixture. A faint red glow flows within her hand and comes out at the tips of her fingers. And her eyes started reacting to the mixture as they glowed faintly. 

The dust and her Aura combine and move up in front of her and forming a green portal. "It's done now, go in and let's get Rex back." Says Thalrion. She walked into the portal and appeared and a room full of barrels, and she caught the scent of wine. "Where are we?" she asks. "Be quiet, we are just right beneath them, Rex, Drake, and Draven," says Thalrion. 

"Now I have a plan. Currently, I can't reach Rex, and they won't kill right away, will make our move as soon as they leave, but before that..." Thalrion explains the plan to Anna.

Rex looks down on both Drake and Draven. "I will not join your crew. I made my decision a long time ago." Says the caged Rex.

  - A familiar presence caught in our radar

 -Anna has been detected.

A sudden rush of fear came to Rex, and he started thinking, "What is she doing here, and how did she get here?" At that moment, an idea came to Rex's mind. "Captain Draven, I have changed my mind. I will join your crew, but only in one condition. You leave Roknir village under my protection," says Rex

Draven was not so quick to answer. Then Drake spoke ahead of him. "Rex, you should know, lying to my captain brings danger, not only to you but to the people that you claim to protect. This is not a joke." Says Drake.

"I'm well aware of my situation, and I have made my decision. I will join your crew if my needs are met," says Rex

"You will sleep here tonight. I will tell you my decision tomorrow," says Draven, and he turns around and walks away. "If I grant your wish, I will need something in return. Take this time and think about what treasures to give me." Draven says 

And he walks away with Drake, "Keep guard." Drake tells two pirates to guard Rex. Then, a few minutes later, Rex heard a sound coming from the top of the cage. He starts checking by putting his ear against the top wall of the cage. And he hears no sound.

Rex looks away and ends up meeting Anna's eyes. This shocks him, and he quickly uses his arms to close his own mouth. She points at the top and warns Rex that she will cut the rope holding the cage, and he must brace himself.

Rex sits down properly and presses his arms against the top of the cage. Anna cuts the Rope and jumps away from the cage. The cage falls and breaks the floor, opening a hole to the basement of the ship, crushing the lock on the cage. 

The guards fall into the hole due to the unstable floor. The noise rings all the way to the other side of the ship, alerting other pirates.

"Ohm. That hurts," says Rex as he opens the cage door. Anna jumps down and lands where there is Rex. "What are you doing here? How did you get her?" Rex asks

She grabs him by the hand and walks close to the walls of the ship. She removes what seems like an already busted ship hole. "Summon Denzel, we need a portal to escape." Says Anna. 

She kicks him into the water and dives in as well. "Did you summon him?" she asks, Rex trying to find balance while swimming, "Yes," he says.

"Master, I have come. It would seem that I still can't use the portal; there is still some kind of energy blocking me." Denzel says

 System

I have identified the reason for that inference

Drake has put up a steam barrier that prevents the portal

 I suggest using Death Aura on the weakest spot of the barrier, 

Or face him and defeat him.

"For now, I will take the safer option. Anna, I'm going to get you out of here," says Rex. From the ship, pirates who were looking for Rex see them and alert the other pirates. Drake was on the search as well.

"Denzel, I want you to fight Drake for me. I'm sure his exhausted from using that last technique, and you're stronger than me, so I trust you can hold him off until we escape," says Rex, commanding Denzel. 

He summons Pillar, "Carry us to the weakest spot of this barrier and fast," says Rex. Pillar carries Anna on his back and holds Rex by his hand and flies to the sky. Drake sees Rex flying away, "You won't leave that easy, kid." He attempts to go after them. but he is blocked by Denzel. "I have orders to take you out," says Denzel.

For the first time, Rex feels the change in Denzel's aura and feels a lot of heat coming from him and Drake. "They are not holding back. This is going to be chaotic." Says Rex.
