Zakohel narrowed his eyes at SkyFire. "Why are you here?" He demanded, But at the same time trying not to anger her. He knew that SkyFire was capable of destruction on an industrial scale. She looked towards the window and shrugged.

"It wasn't exactly my own choice," She spoke calmly, That didn't answer his question. "And you don't need to worry about angering me. It takes more than a raised voice to do that," She added. He was almost relieved. "There is something you must know. The royal family is looking for you, Zakohel," He didn't have time to worry about how she knew his name when his family was looking for him.

"How do you know that?" His voice squeaked. He sat down on the bed to keep himself from blacking out. There were few things he knew about Skyfire, only her reputation and her strength. 

"When you can foresee the future, it's easy to know things ahead of time. They aren't looking for you yet, but they will soon," SkyFire spoke. Of course she would be able to do that. Zakohel shook his head.

"We should get away soon then, right?" He asked, more to himself rather than to SkyFire. He looked over to see her nodding in agreement. 

"We leave first thing in the morning. We head towards the eastern mountains," She spoke. She eyed him, "You look like you could use your rest," He didn't respond, he just layed down and let sleep take him over. I should've asked her where she was going to rest, there was only one bed. But he didn't have time to think more into that thought before he fell into a dream

SkyFire watched as the vulto prince fell asleep. She looked towards the full moon in the night sky. She sat down at the small table in the room, and got her drawing scroll out of her satchel. She closed her eyes and let her hands do the work. In her mind, was an image of the surrounding village. She would open her eyes every moment or so to make sure she was drawing correctly.

She did this until dawn, when she was finished with the basic sketch. She packed up her scroll and placed it back into her satchel. She looked over to Zakohel. She only knew his name through mind reading. He looks so peaceful. Shame... She walked over to his form, and shook him awake.

"I'm awake, I'm awake.. Is it already morning?" He yawned and stretched. He didn't seem to like being woken up. SkyFire was very much the same way, When she did sleep.

Zakohel was really ticked off that SkyFire woke him up so early. It was barely dawn. She had changed back into the peasants clothing and gave him some bread for breakfast. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked with a yawn.

"I don't exactly need food," She replied, She was tying her hair into a braid. What in the world could she mean by that? Doesn't everyone need to eat something? "That's where you're wrong, I'll tell you later, right now we need to get going. The search party will be sent soon," She spoke.

He forgot about that. "Shouldn't we go now?" He asked, He didn't get an answer, SkyFire just threw his bag at him and headed for the door. He swung it over his shoulder and followed her out the door. "Shouldn't we check out?" She shook her head.

"It's better that they think we're still here," She explained in a whisper. They reached the front desk. There was no one behind it. They headed out of the building. There was no one outside. SkyFire grabbed his arm in a tight grip before walking at a pace he could barely keep up with.
