《HAVEN: THE SKY SCRAPER》Chapter 18: Arrival
Advertisement
Thomas and Kyle are still chatting together happily, having found a new friend in each other, as the zeppelin lands at an airport next to the docks.
“Here we are” Kyle says looking out at the terminal next to them.
“Servant, that way” Thomas tells him, now sitting in a wheelchair.
“Huh, who are you calling a servant” he replies as he wheels Thomas down the zeppelin.
There is a quiet hum from the engines of the zeppelin as they move across the ramp and into the terminal.
Inside is full of refugees, as is everywhere else.
“Gosh all these people” Thomas mutters.
“Don’t worry, you’ve got priority” Kyle tells him with a wink.
Thomas gives a little smirk back at this comment.
Fresh smoke can be seen way out in the horizon.
“That’s, not a good thing, is it?” Thomas suggests with concern.
“No, no it isn’t” he replies.
“But hey, don’t you worry buddy, we’ll make sure you get out ok” Kyle reassures him placing his hands on Thomas’s shoulders.
“I’ll hold you to that” he replies resting his hand on top of Kyles.
Merissa and the rest of the troop have also now arrived at the docks, landing on some offshore battlements in a chinook.
“Over here!” She instructs everyone and they make their way over to another long-range gun.
“I can see Haven ships” Sebastian states looking through some binoculars.
“And … Terra Auri warships” he informs them now quite nervous.
“Arriving at De Monte eastern docks sir” a sailor informs Nathan.
“Right, lets try and rescue as many as we can” he instructs them.
“Oliver! Is Heaven’s Gate operational again?” He asks opening a video link to the Sky Scraper.
“Fully operational, but it will be a while until we get to the eastern docks” he replies.

“Good” Nathan snaps and the video link goes again.
“Why didn’t the rest of the crew stay onboard?” Michael asks.
“Heaven’s Gate only needs a bare minimum of people to operate it, all the systems are automated, and the king wanted to get them home as quickly as possible, the escape craft fly much faster than what this thing is capable of” Oliver explains.
Back at the offshore defences, Marissa and the team are continually loading and firing the long-range gun at the enemy ships that have become visible in the distance.
The vast array of guns firing leaves no interval and the sound is deafening.
“There here” Sebastian tells everyone disheartened by what he sees.
“Sebastian, GET DOWN!” Merissa yells at him as the entire wall they are positioned on crumbles away after being hit by a projectile that explodes.

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.
