I owned a jet now. Not like a tiny one or two passenger thing either. My jet was huge. It had a bed, and a shower, and more than one floor. Mina had not been bullshitting about it being able to handle everyone. So, since it could...

Contrary to what one might expect, I did not immediately leap over the massive crowd of brawling soldiers and engage in sky combat with Drakul. In fact, it was a bit anticlimactic the we had to slowly make our way toward each oth...
