After Adolophine had relayed what their squad's mains tasks would be, she turned towards Evelyn and asked her an question.

"I notice that you already have a few storage devices. Do you happen to have your brewing equipment stored within?"

Shaking her head, Evelyn told her that she did not. Having not expected to need to do any alchemy on their expedition.

"No, we most certainly will!" Adolophine said like it was obvious, and that Evelyn should have already known this. "Each of us only can hold a limited supply of potions, pills, and the like in our storage magic tools. It is all but certain we as alchemists will need to create more to resupply along the way with whatever materials we find."

'Ah, that is right. The others do not have as much storage capacity as I do.' Evelyn thought as she looked down at her own storage devices.

Currently she had dozens of the highest quality brews she could make, along with plenty of lower quality ones for appearances sake.

But most of the owls here were only just receiving low-capacity storage rings for the first time for this mission, and even the leaders honestly had much less than Evelyn who could make plenty more credits with her skills.

"I am afraid that I cannot go and grab my alchemy equipment. It is on loan to me you see, and the caldron is actually affixed and can't be moved." Evelyn said apologetically.

Sighing Adolophine seemed a bit upset about this, but just told Evelyn to wait while she got a staff member of the mission hall to fetch her a spare caldron and brewing stick, along with measuring containers.

Eventually things began to wind down in the large meeting room, and the commander of the expedition force went around to all the leaders. Asking if they were close to ready to get going as they would be warping to the new continent within the hour.

"I am sorry sir, but we are waiting on a caldron and some other brewing supplies to be delivered for Evelyn here." Adolophine said, motioning towards her.

Turning his gaze to Evelyn, it was clear that Deshal was not happy about this, and he let out an angry grunt before speaking.

"Looks like your recommendation has not given you any brains. Of course, you would need your tools. You are here only here for your skills in alchemy. If the equipment is not here by the time we need to leave, you will be left behind."

Making this snap judgment, Deshal walked away, obviously peeved.

'Is he an idiot?' Evelyn thought.

She knew that this guy had no idea that it was Melisandre who got her assigned to this expedition, but still whoever was above him definitely had told him of the decision. And Evelyn was certain he would get in trouble if he left a member of his team behind for such a petty reason.

In fact, Evelyn could see Melisandre having him replaced in a heartbeat and pulling whatever strings it took for Evelyn to be kept on this mission.

Luckily it did not come to that. as the mission hall staff brough the supplies Evelyn would need, and she stored them into the new ring she had recently acquired that held the other supplies that had been given to her for the mission.

'It just barely fit.' Evelyn thought feeling that the ring had reached max capacity.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Also, the caldron along with the other items were much smaller than the ones she normally used. Having been made easier for travel. Though on another note, one glance told her that they were pretty low quality, even worse than what Mason had originally left her with.

'I should have just flown back and grabbed the supplies Mason left for me. But I did not want to risk missing anything important or being left behind.' Evelyn thought.

Now that she had her new alchemy gear, the threat of her being left behind was gone, and Adolophine went to inform Deshal that they were ready.

Not long after, he addressed the crowd of owls that had been getting to know their squad mates and made an announcement.

"The last straggler is finally ready to go, so it is time that we head over to the high-performance warp gate that will take us to Falisgisa. And be sure to be on your best behavior. One of the esteemed leaders of the Roost is going to be operating the warp gate for us and it would not do for anyone to offend them."

Having received their order to get ready to go, all the owls began flying out of the meeting room in a line. Following their leaders to the high-performance warp gate.

When they arrived all the owls stared stunned at the huge gate that were made of branches that wrapped around itself in a spiral pattern from two sides before meeting up around a hundred feet in the air.

There were also smaller branches full of leaves coming off of the man ones and were faintly glowing. Giving off a very fantastical feeling.

Currently perched on top of this warp gate was an owl that Evelyn recognized and did not have a good opinion of.

'Silas!'

Looking up at him, Evelyn felt her heart beating rapidly. He was the first owl she had met when coming to the Roost, and he had been quite hostile towards her.

It was clear he did not approve of Melisandre taking her as a disciple and had even apparently made a fuss about it that Melisandre had to deal with.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Now he was staring down at her with a smug smile on his face that made her shudder.

However, before she could think about what to do, Deshal bowed his head as did every other owl. Forcing Evelyn to follow suit.

"Commander Deshal. I will now open the gate. Make sure to get all of your team through quickly and orderly. I can only keep it open for a few moments." Silas said.

"Of course, lord Silas." Deshal responded.

He then commanded everyone to be ready to go and they all got in position to take off.

An instant later and the gate opened and all the owls began flying through. Going off to a new Continent.
