《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 16
Advertisement
Everyone from the ship was now set up with a place to live for the time being. The team was trying to find a way to help all of these people off of the island before the League of Assassins showed up to take them for the rest of their training. They knew that if these people were still here when the League arrived, it would be a possibility that all of them would be killed, and for the most part these people were good people and didn't deserve to die.
"I was thinking that we need to find a way to get these people off the island before the League arrives to take us for our training. Do you guys have any ideas on that?" Oliver asked.
"We can probably put them on the submarine and send them on their way. We just need to make sure that it still works and can move." Barry said.
"That is a good idea, Barry. What do we need to do in order for this to work?" Laurel asked.
"First we need to make sure that everything is working and then we will need to check the hull to make sure there aren't any cracks or holes. It would be bad to send them off on a sinking sub." Barry said.
"I can go and check that out. The rest of you check and make sure that the sub is in working condition." Kara said as the group headed for the sub.
. . .
Thirty minutes later the team arrived at the sub and everyone got on board except for Kara who swam around the sub and then under it to see if there were any problems with the sub. The people who were inside found that everything was able to go. Now they just needed to see what Kara found out.

Kara entered the sub and everyone looked at her. "So, what did you find out?" Oliver asked.
"The sub is in great shape. The only problem I saw was that the ship was trapped on a stone ledge. I can take care of that. I just wanted to give you all an update first." Kara said.
"Go take care of it. Everything works just fine here. We will go and get the other people and lead them back here so that we can get them out of here." Laurel said as she and Sara left to get the survivors of the amazo.
. . .
"So, what's on your mind sis? You look like you are deep in thought." Laurel said.
"I am just thinking about Shado. In a way I hope that she leaves because then I know that she will be safe. On the other hand, I want her to stay here with me." Sara said.
"Well, give her the two options and whatever she decides you will just have to live with it." Laurel said.
"You are right. It is not my decision to make. I will give her the options and what she decides will be on her." Sara said and Laurel nodded.
Soon they arrived at the camp and started to gather all the people together so that they could give them the news that they would get off of the island today. "Everyone gather around." Laurel called out to everyone. "We have found a way to get everyone off of the island. Come with us and we will lead you there."
"So, how long have you known about the way to get off of this island?" Anatoly asked.
"We have known about the sub for a while, but we just found out that it would run and that it was safe to use. If you want to get off this island you need to come with us now." Sara said and Anatoly and the others nodded as they got ready to follow Sara and Laurel back to the sub.

Shado walked up to Sara and asked, "Why does it sound like your little group won't be leaving with the rest of the people here?"
"Because we aren't. We need to stay for a reason that I can't tell you right now. I wish I could, but I can't." Sara said
"I understand, but I hope you know that I am going to stay with you." Shado said.
"I can't ask you to stay here." Sara said.
"I know, and you didn't ask me to stay. I decided to do that on my own." Shado said.
"If that is what you want I won't try to change your mind. Just know that we will be in danger the whole time we are here, just like we have been so far while we have been here." Sara said and Shado nodded.
"I am willing to take that chance to be with you." Shado said.
"Well, what do you think that your father will do?" Sara asked.
"I am not sure. I hope that he goes home, but I don't know that he will be welcome there." Shado said.
"Yeah, you might be right. Let's head for the sub." Sara said and everyone followed to the sub.
. . .
Now that everyone was at the sub, people started to board so that they could make their way home. There was only one real problem. They didn't know if anyone could drive the sub.
"Is there anyone here who would be able to drive this sub?" Oliver asked.
"I have driven one before." Anatoly said.
"Good. Once my friends and I leave the sub, get these people to safety." Oliver said.
"What about you and your friends?" Anatoly asked.
"We have to stay here. I can't explain why, but just know that it is for a good reason." Oliver said.
"I do trust you my friend. If you are ever in Russia and need something, don't hesitate to come and find me. I owe you for getting me off of that ship." Anatoly said and Oliver nodded and shook the man's hand.
"I will see you around Anatoly." Oliver said as they left the ship while also being joined by Shado. Yeo Fei decided to go home and find Mai, his other daughter, and make sure that she was ok.
"Well, at least we got them all out of here before the League of Assassins arrived to take us in." Laurel said and the rest of the group nodded and they went back to their camp.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
