Ernaut had already been taken prisoner on the island of the Nexus Capital Supreme Prison. He had been placed under death penalty for evading many captures and sneaking into the ship that was bound for Evergrove without a permit. Ernaut had woke up in his jail cell, which had a comfortable wool bed and a window with bars in it. The cell door had bars in it which were operated by sliding them open, simple as that. The leg was already closed up in terms of wounds, but it left a scar on Ernaut's body forever, because sure, Karin was capable of healing, but not as good as healing for everyone or healing of gods. For real, it was bandaged and cleaned up while Ernaut was unconscious, and Ernaut had just taken out the bandages when he got up at one point and went back to sleep.

The cell had resembled to be stone brick wall. There was one bed, and bars resembling the jail. There was a window outside which had three bars in it, representing a window.

Ernaut realized that his hands were cuffed with chains, but he knew it wasn't going to stop him. He fired two needles into the cuffs' chains, breaking them without anyone noticing because the coast was already clear for him. No guards were approaching him at the moment. Ernaut knew that he had to make his escape out of the prison to continue his mission, but it wasn't going to be easily. He would have to find a way out of the cell, out of the prison, and out of the Nexus Capital to find his way east.

"Alright Karin, tell me what to do now, so I can make my escape!" Ernaut asked, thinking of how to break out of his cell before his death penalty starts to come in. Ernaut had only 2 days to get out of the prison before his execution, but he knew that he needed to act right now.

"Ernaut, I have analyzed a possible breakout of this place. As you recall, I can tunnel all dialogue to just between you and me so nobody else is able to hear. Apparently what you need to do right now is use my powers to break the air duct that is located on the prison walls, get inside it, and then break out of there. The reason why you're not breaking out of the windows this time because that you also need to do other things as well aside from breaking out of the prison. You're going to need to break out of there safely and with everything you need, such as your backpack. You're going to need to find yourself something to change into, and then find your stuff and get out of there. You're lastly going to need to find a ship that you can take to find your way east. You were going to plan on doing this at Hobbs's Summit, but there were no ships there, but there should be a military ship that you can take to find your way east. Also, I recommend when you take that ship, that you sail around all of the islands and I can compass your way through." Karin replied, giving Ernaut introductions.

Ernaut, without question decided to follow the introductions. He decided to use Karin's Spirit Needle to break the air duct's holdings. Using the crystallized energy from the Spirit Needle, he was able to hide any potential noises and keep his plan silent. He was doing very well on breaking down the air duct without making any noise, until Ernaut heard the sounds of guards approaching, Ernaut knew that he needed to stop at this point and wait for them to clear up.

"I am detecting two patrol guards approaching. Act normal. Karin said. Ernaut got back to sitting on his cell bed while the two guards walked by. After the sound of the guards dissipated via the distance, Ernaut got back to work.

Ernaut eventually broke open the air duct that was facing forward from the prison walls. To hide any traces, Karin silently put the air duct back where it was, eventually reversing back the damage without outputting any noise. Ernaut knew that he needed to get out of here, but he didn't know what direction to take. He saw two directions facing left and right. Simply by guessing, he took the left route.

Heading towards the left route, Ernaut found himself still crawling through the air duct, eventually hearing a conversation in what sounded like a conference room in the Nexus Capital's Supreme Prison. Being curious on what they were talking about, Ernaut decided to stop and listen.

"So, we were successful on getting the Witch Runner, so what should we do now?" One person that looked to be supporting the agency against Ernaut said, the agency against Ernaut which Mayor Wally had always had since the beginning, especially with the wanted poster that promised 100 diamonds to whoever successfully catches him.

"I'm thinking of giving Quinn her 100 diamonds right now, or even better, we'll also split the reward to Wally's Warriors; myself, Shion, Beck, and we're not forgetting Quinn. Keep in mind, Quinn was the one to successfully put Ernaut's never-ending run out of business. He'll never fulfill what he needs to do for the Tear of Heaven or whatever you call it, and we don't care about the Comet Caller at this point, because it's basically irrelevant. Now, I understand there was this one mysterious man that tried to convince us to believe in the Comet Caller and that Tear of Heaven, but here's the thing with the mysterious man, he's so mysterious with that strange-looking armor and uniform, he doesn't look like something that migrated from another kingdom or country, he looks more like a strange prophet that no one would even care about, because he's too unknown to even be considered. We would've believed in the Comet Caller and that Comet if we were to bring in real evidence of them threatening us, but because they pose no serious threat to us, asides from you know, the Chromas, but we still believe that Ernaut, or should we say the Witch Runner was responsible for bringing them over. If Ernaut wanted to be set free, then the only way to do that was to give up the Tear of Heaven, but he refused to. If Ernaut gave up the Tear of Heaven to us, then we would've been able to believe in him, but nope, he gets the Tear of Heaven inside his body and starts using these weapons which no one else would be able to believe in, because we cannot even replicate it. If you want a far war, you're going to stick with real and physical weapons as tools of the trade." Wally said.

"Oh Wally! I'm glad we're all getting that reward! Getting rich from really big success was a dream that I've been dying to come true!" Shion said, laughing with success.

"Alright, so 25 diamonds for all four of us? That's like 25 million gold for all of us! We'll be able to afford the highest of the luxuries, and then we'll be able to make it rain!" Beck said, being excited on the reward."

"Here's how it all started. I came up with this "wanted" poster for Ernaut, the one that supported the Comet Caller and has the Tear of Heaven inside of him. I eventually got a mob which included Shion, the great hunter of Castlemore to come after him, but he eventually got himself another supporter and supporter that actually believed in the Comet Caller thingy, and I'm surprised that he was able to sneak into that one ship that was going to Evergrove just to get away from us, but as you know, he's not really getting away because I also alerted the ship with a message regarding Ernaut, and that message told them to get Beck and Quinn on the alert, because they were both at Evergrove at the time. Don't worry, we've finally got Ernaut cornered, so we're getting rich for life, with the money provided by the Nexus Capital." Wally replied.

After the conversation, the door opened to what could be an alarmed guard of the Nexus Capital Supreme Prison. He looked kind of desperate in his face. Ernaut knew that the guard had noticed that he escaped, but he was already crawling through the air duct at the point above them, still able to get out of their sight undetected.

"Wally! Everyone! I have reports that Ernaut, or should we say the Witch Runner, has escaped from his cell! Cell number 143! I checked again at Ernaut's cell, the cuffs were apparently destroyed to shreds, and it looked like he managed to escape from this place!

"Wait a second, Ernaut escaped? He's not going to get away that easily!" Shion said.

"Calm down. We'll be able to catch him again. How exactly did he escape? Which way did he take?" Wally replied, trying to settle the score on Ernaut again.

"Oh, it gets worse, he's able to cover up whatever he can with the Tear of Heaven. You apparently were unable to restrain Ernaut from being able to use the Tear of Heaven's powers in the cell, so he apparently used whatever tools the Tear of Heaven provided, and then from that point, he was able to hide all of the evidence at that point, so I'm not sure how he's getting out; either by the window, through the cell doors, or the air duct. He can't have escaped through the cell doors because he could've easily gotten caught at that point, and he can't have escaped through the windows because as you know, he also would've been caught by people or patrol guards outside the prison fences, which translates to one last possibility where Ernaut escaped through, the air duct. I think right now he's escaping through the air duct. You're going to have to break open the air duct to be able to follow him, so here's the plan, I need all of the guards patrolling every air duct in this place, and eventually stop Ernaut. No weapons, because we want to make sure that none of us is hurt during the process via friendly fire." the alarmed guard replied.

Ernaut stopped listening there, and eventually kept on crawling through the air duct. Eventually after some time, Ernaut found himself in another room, which looked like some sort of clothes room, with varying military uniforms on the hangers and even hats as well. Ernaut knew what to do, he needed to find himself a disguise to be able to get out of there, so he took a military cameo coat from the hanger, as well as a veteran hat from the area. The last thing Ernaut needed to find right now was his backpack, which was also in the hanger as well as part of the "Prisoners' Assets" hanger. Ernaut felt like he was dressed like one of the military soldiers in the Nexus, and that he was ready to start paving his plan to get out of the Supreme Prison, but he also knew that the guards would be on full-patrol mode because of what happened at the cells. He was already past the cells, but he needed some way to hide. He also found himself some gloves to put on, which served as Ernaut's only way of hiding Karin. At this point, Ernaut didn't want to use any of Karin's powers at this point, because using Karin's powers could easily be noticed by the guards, He knew what to do, and he would leave the room and then act normal.

Ernaut left the room, but he started to calm down at this point. His coat, hat, and gloves were enough to hide any possible traces of being Ernaut himself, and he was able to sneak through the area undetected. Eventually, Ernaut started to exit the building, but things started to get on the high tide when one of the guards entered the room that he was in.

"Wait a second, who took one of the uniforms, a hat, and gloves?" The guard then gasped, and then noticed that the air duct was open. Ernaut didn't want to listen anymore, and then left the building afterward.

"Wait, I believe I know who it was! It was Ernaut, or should we say the Witch Runner. He snuck through the air ducts and got himself a disguise so he could just walk out easily. I need all of the guards, and everyone else after him!" the guard said, upon hearing Ernaut leave the building.

Ernaut ran and ran out of the Supreme Prison's fencing. He was already running through the city streets of the Nexus Capital's metro area. He didn't even know where to find a ship that could take him out of the area and onto his way east, until he saw a route which indicated "military docks", also known as the docks that the military takes. He then ran and ran towards the area, eventually outrunning the guards for quite some time, but they were already outside, trying to figure out where Ernaut went.

"People of the Nexus Capital! We have an emergency! Ernaut, the Witch Runner, has escaped from the Supreme Prison! Even worse, he disguised himself as a guard, being able to outrun anyone in sight. To anyone who sees him, be sure to bring him in and we'll finish him!" One of the guards hollered, trying to get anyone.

"Nope, haven't seen him. I've only seen a guard run through the area. I don't know what he looks like for real, but I've only seen him wearing a white shirt, black pants, and black shoes. Can't you be real on what he looks like? All I've seen, was just a guard run by!" One person said, trying to explain what he witnessed; a guard that was running outside.

"A guard that was running outside? Normally we don't have that sight… Wait a second, was that guard wearing gloves as well? Normally we don't wear gloves on most occasions, except for cold temperatures or handling specific materials." The guard asked back, trying to find evidence of Ernaut's runaway.

"Yes. Yes he was. I can see right now you're not wearing gloves. Wait a second, are you saying that the guard was a criminal in disguise? Given that he was on the run, it's likely he's no longer here at this point. I've lost track of where he is, but apparently Ernaut was heading for Hobbs's Summit, and then he failed to find a ship at Hobbs's Summit, and that was where he decided to surrender at the point. If there's anywhere Ernaut could possibly go, it's to possibly find a ship right now, which means that the only place that Ernaut could go is the docks to find a ship." The witness replied.

"Okay, here's the plan. I'm going to need the guards to split up on specific docks of the Nexus Capital, finding ships that Ernaut could possibly steal. Keep in mind, he's capable of far beyond, he has the Tear of Heaven inside of him and he's also capable of using strong weapons against us, such as the ability to dash with a magical spear, which Beck witnessed at one point, and the fists and magical shots or whatever you call them. That's the only three weapons that we witnessed, but we don't know for sure is his limits of the Tear of Heaven. He seems to have no limits to what he can learn from the Tear of Heaven and what he's capable of." The guard replied, planning out a strategy to take down Ernaut.

Ernaut ran and ran towards the docks of the area. He was already far from the Nexus Capital Supreme Prison. Eventually after looking through the area, Ernaut saw a ship that he could take, and eventually boarded the ship and then drove off in it, using the military key that was already provided in the jacket. He also dropped his gloves as well to try and hide his evidential proof by looking like any other guard. He then sailed away and away, heading south of the Nexus Capital but going around all of the obstacles.

Ernaut felt like he already escaped the Nexus and that he was on his way to his mission; fulfilling Karin's promise by heading to the island east that has a portal that could take him to the eastern lands of Teya. For quite a while, Ernaut was fine, until eventually, ships started to catch up upon Ernaut.

"Ernaut? Ernaut? If this is you, you must surrender! You are not authorized to use the ship that you are driving!" One of the guards shouted. Each of the two ships following him had only 3 guards, because they knew that Ernaut could attack them at any possibility, and that the lifeboats they had for survival could only hold three people each. They each of them wanted everyone to survive incase Ernaut does a counterattack, which they always knew from the beginning that they would.

"Leave me alone! I have a promise to fulfill with the Tear of Heaven, and you guys are just trying to stop me. I see that you have cannons to shoot my ship, but here's the thing, I can shoot you guys real easily. I don't have any physical weapons, but just watch!" Ernaut said, readying his Spirit Needle.

Ernaut then charged up his Spirit Needle. Both guards were thinking of shooting the cannon at the ship's hull, because shooting them directly at Ernaut had the risk of friendly fire, which was something that they didn't want to even risk, but upon aiming the cannons at Ernaut's ship, they were too late as Ernaut fired a burst of Spirit Needles towards their ships as well, fracturing both hulls with four cracks each, sinking their ships slowly and then putting the cannons out of accuracy, firing them into the ocean and missing their target.

"I hate witchcraft! This guy is unstoppable!" One of the guards reacted, upon Ernaut sinking their ships via his Spirit Needle ability. They felt like at this point Ernaut was basically unstoppable, especially with Karin protecting him of any kind of danger. Some of the guards even felt like giving up, which was something Wally's Warriors would never do. Each of the guards eventually boarded the lifeboats and got out of the area where Ernaut was driving away to.

Ernaut felt like he finally stopped the Nexus for real at this point and eventually kept on going with the ship. There were no more obstacles given that Ernaut was able to lose them at this point, and that he felt like he was finally getting to a point where the Nexus was eventually giving up at this point. Ultimately, Mayor Wally would never ever approve of giving up, but given that Ernaut was finally going to get away from the Nexus, it would've felt a sense of actually giving up towards Ernaut.

"Alright Ernaut, I think I've finally stopped the Nexus. I'm finally on my way to the eastern lands of Teya, but I need to start thinking about what I need to do first at the eastern lands of Teya, whether to be finding Aruku, or finding Gabriella first. I need to learn how to adjust to living in the eastern lands of Teya so I can learn about their people and whether or not they can treat me fairly given how underdeveloped they are compared to the Nexus." Ernaut said to himself, thinking about what to do upon reaching the eastern lands of Teya.

Karin felt like Ernaut was regaining success at the point, upon seeing that Ernaut was able to escape from the Nexus and take a ship towards his destination; the island that could take Ernaut to the eastern lands of Teya, which was part of his promise to Karin; going east and destroying the Comet and the Chromas.
