Johnny burst into Aidan’s room, “Aidan, the woman from earlier. She’s in my shop. I saw her as I was cleaning up and I ran as fast as I could over here. I didn’t see her following me,” Johnny panted and gasped for air as if he had run a marathon, despite the shop only being a short pace away from Aidan’s homestead.

The sudden noise made Aidan shoot awake. It was exactly for situations like this that Aidan slept in Eden instead of logging out to rest. He always felt like he needed to be on alert. This just proved him right. He lept off this bed and equipped his sword from his inventory. He secured Johnny behind him and then scanned the area for threats. He waved his hand slowly across his field of vision and recited the incantation, “Et videant oculi mei omnes.”

He closed his eyes and opened them once again, now able to see beyond the walls obstructing his vision and through the floor. Once he had confirmed that there was no one around, he closed his eyes once more and released the spell. With barely a glance over to Johnny, he lept out of the window and raced toward the shop. Johnny stood alone in Aidan’s room for a second, staring at the third story window Aidan had just leapt out of without hesitation.

“I could make that jump,” Johnny approached the window and looked down. “If I wanted to jump, I could make that jump.” He convinced himself of this as he exited out of the room and walked down the stairs and through the front door of the inn’s downstairs tavern.

Johnny joined Aidan inside of his shop as Aidan was sweeping the area for the intruder. Since he had just used his sight spell, he didn’t have the mana to use it again so quickly. He slammed open the door to the back room and searched the area thoroughly before returning to Johnny’s side.

“You’re okay? Did she say anything? Give any hints where she was headed?”

Johnny firmly shook his head.

“No, I don’t know where she has gone but I know that I’d like to be gone right now,” Johnny looked around the room as if he was double checking that Aidan hadn’t missed a corner where she could be hiding. Aidan tilted his head confused by Johnny’s words. “Aidan,” Johnny looked directly into Aidan’s eyes, “I want to go tonight, please. I don’t feel safe living here for one more night. We have to go now.”

Aidan nodded understandingly, he knew that the sooner he got Johnny to Hallifax, the sooner he would be able to deal with the situation here.

“Alright, pack up. We’ll leave once you’re ready. I’ll go get the horse,” Aidan comfortingly squeezed Johnny’s shoulder to calm him down. “I’ll be back soon, so pack quickly.” Aidan made his leave to the stables and Johnny scurried about as he packed what he could into his inventories.

Later that night, just before the sun was ready to breach the horizon, Aidan and Johnny left Gwintin for their journey to Hallifax.
