Letting go of the dragons leg, Zebulon walked to an edge and sat down. He put his face in his hands and began to breath hard. Now he's going to be after me. The boogeyman of my country is after me. He's even worse in person then the stories. What will the people of my land think when I tell them I saw him? Being a slave doesn't sound so bad right now. If I returned to my home country, they'd just beat me and throw me back into the workforce. He'd never find me amongst the thousands of Psychomancers. God why did I let the child sway me? I can feel it. The child has already been tainted. God why didn't I notice sooner? Why didn't I just keep my distance and watch? Or better yet, stay there and die quickly? Now I have to live day in and day out, thinking about what happens if he catches me. I wonder if he'll kill me quickly? Maybe he'll show me mercy. No. He won't. He is the Fenrir of Nocturne. He would never show mercy or pity. Oh God.....
He just kept thinking. And thinking. And thinking. This would weight heavily on him for some time. IN Zeb's home country, Fenrir was what they used as the boogeyman. And the stories were much more pleasant then the real Fenrir.
I need to disappear. I need to become a shadow in the world. I'd hate to leave Pronta though. I haven't even met the kind. Or the other Captain. What if he kills them though looking for me? Or kills someone else? I can't let this happen. He needs to be put down like a dog. Maybe the sins.....

Liliana, who had held open her connection to everyone's mind duing the flight to make sure no one fell off, could hear Zeb's frantic thoughts racing through his head. Handing Selene to Cain, she walked over to the man and sat beside him. "He's not as horrible as everyone makes him," she said. "This is what happened to him when he stepped off the path Fate had laid out before him. He chose thorns over grass, Zebulon. And now he barks when the thorns p***k his fur." She knew she sounded mad for defending Fenrir but she could still see a spark of something better in him when she looked at him. Aura, obviously exhausted, flew up and fell into Liliana's lap. She stroked the tired little dragon fairy for a moment. "I met Aura here in Pronta," she said quietly. "A friend fell into my lap at the Floating Gardens and now I have Aura to help guide me. But a lot of people do not have help to be guided."

Zeb shook his head. "No, he's worse. In my home country, he is the creature we tell our children stories about to make them behave and be good. But those stories don't add up to what he's really like in person. I'm not a strong man. I could never fight him like this. And now I've summoned his wrath, and so he is going to punish me for doing the right thing. He's nothing like the stories."
He shook his head again. "I wish I'd have stayed in Pronta, and not went to the Festival in Kranila. At least then I could have fought Fenrir at a later date when I was stronger. But now.... Now I need to disappear from his view. My name was not called thankfully. And so he only knows my face and my smell. If I cover those up, I should be safe. Then I can go back to Pronta and train my students in peace without him chasing me down like prey. The reason I chose this land above all was because the sins reside here. No other country has them. Just this one. I want their power to free my people. And the wish just may help me do so." he said, not with his usual cocky tone, but with a tone of sadness. he was both scared and sad at this moment. He would never free his people or live normally in his home country.

"Someone else after a wish, huh?" she asked, moving Aura up to her shoulders. "A lot of us want that wish. All the good that can be done with it. And all the evil as well. The wish I originally wanted was really simple: I wanted to see like normal people. But now, it would be a wise person who thinks of the maximum good they can do with that wish." Liliana smiled and looked at Zeb. "As fearsome as he seems, he doesn't scare everyone. This'll be the second time I've faced down his... displeasure over protecting the people I felt needed protecting. He didn't scare me before and he doesn't scare me now. In the end, he's a person. Who bleeds red and eventually will die. I see it for him every time I look at him. Broken, alone, dying. And no one there to comfort him in his last moments. It's always so sad to see but there's no true way to help him at this point. Oh! I never properly introduced myself. I'm Liliana. The moody-looking gunslinger over there is Cain, and the dragon you grabbed a ride on is Alewar."

Zeb nodded "I want the wish to free my people. as you already probably know, my people are treated as slaves in my home country. I escaped and came here looking for freedom. but when I heard about the sins, and this wish, I jumped at the chance. I decided that day my people would become free." he said hopefully with a light smile.
"He scares me. As I said, boogeyman of my country. To see a child's worst fear in person is terrifying. I can see why they behave."
"Honestly, I don't think he could ever redeem himself. He's done too much already. But then again, anyone can redeem themselves in some fashion."

Liliana reached out, touching his hand. Visions of blood, fire, and so much slavery filled her eyes. Startled, she pulled back. The slavery she saw wasn't of his people. That much she could see. "I don't think that's what Fate has planned for your people," she said slowly. Reaching up to stroke Aura, she slowly calmed herself. Mustn't show what she saw. She wouldn't let him walk that path. Too many already did.

"So your to say my people should be slaves for the rest of eternity? I was there. The horrors we saw. The death we lived in. All because we were different." he shook his head as if snapping out of a nightmare. "I won't let it continue. I guess if Fenrir stands in my way of freeing my people, I will have to fight him." Zeb said, laying back. "What path do the fates say I take?"

"Not for eternity. Just not for now," she said, dancing around what she saw for him. "And you don't have to explain slavery to me. Do you think a seer would be left unmolested through her life?" She wanted to change the topic to anything but what she saw him walking towards.

"Someone somewhere had to abuse your power. But at any rate, none of that is important. I have to deal with my boogeyman. He's going to hunt us. We need to do something about that. Preferably soon. Before he finds the child, or one of us and beats the tar out of us." he said, resuming his cocky, but friendly tone.

"I already have a plan in mind but I need to learn a couple things first. You wouldn't happen to have a book on elemental skills on you, would you?" she asked. She did have a plan for hiding with Selene but like she said, she needed to learn a couple more things first.

"Nope. I don't carry them with me." he said, thinking about how he was going to deal with being hunted by a dog.

"Thanks anyway. I'll see what I can do then," she said. Guess she would need to learn what she needed by trial and error. "And don't worry. He has to travel the normal way to get here. So it'll be a while before he shows up."

"Yea. So what do I do till he finds me? My King is missing, busy with training. The second Captain of Yuran is gone for some reason. And my whole city has nothing." he said, a bit of fright peaking through his voice.

"I'm sure there's things to do right now. If you need, I can take you straight back to Pronta City so you can train the new citizens if you need something to do," Liliana offered. She didn't know what else to tell the man. Fenrir would take a while to find any of them. but he was so scared from meeting Fenrir. So she reached over and hugged Zeb.

Zeb was shocked. No one in his life had ever hugged him. He was confused as to what he should do. He just sat there like a rock, finally resting his head on Lili's shoulder. He didn't want to go to Yuran. Not like this. But he shook the thought. "I'll stay with you for the moment. He won't look for me first. He'll look for this child. And when he does, I will finish him. I will face my fear head on. I will not let him stop me." Zebulon said, wrapping an arm around Lili. He was serious. His fear had evaporated. One could confuse his bravery for madness.
