“Do you ever think we will see Warrior #5208 again?”

The Orc didn’t seem to hear the penguin's question. While the gentle waves lapped the side of the boat, Arkol's attention was lost, deep at sea. The clouds brewing on the horizon mimic the sentiment in his heart.

“At least she is free.. I know she is. The clutches of that awful place, the Quantum Shadow, no longer hold her. She is free to explore the Runiverse, once again.” a low rumble of thunder broke across the horizon, and lightning danced between the dark clouds. “Gather the sails, and prep the sailors, we will be beyond the quiet of the bay before long. It looks as though this old sea means to give us a fight tonight. We best be ready.”

Rusty sighed a determined “humfph” and waddled off. “YOU HEARD THE CAPTAIN, LET’S GET MOVING! SAIL UP, HATCHES DOWN! PREPARE! Warrior #6369 you haven't left your sea legs on land have you? Back to it!” The crew sprung into action, preparing for the worst.

Although free, it’s not clear exactly what fate befell Valentina.. How did she escape? Was she rescued by a friend or thrown deeper into the clutches of the unknown?

Only time would tell.
