The night was dark, it was terrifying, but Nego hid under cover in the tall grass. He knew something was going to happen, also, he had disobeyed orders and snuck out of the castle when the healer had gone out.

Of course he had packed, he had poured a packet of zhongnese blast powder in a bowl, added some water, rolled some pinecones in the mixture and set them in the sun to dry. They had made effective sabotage weapons in the older days when there were still conquerors. They were small and easy to carry.

The pouch hung from his belt along with a pouch of darts and his arrow. Nego's russack was light but well stocked. He had herbs and leaves with plenty of travel food like dried meat and fruit. Nego had an extra flask of water besides the one hanging from his belt. He had packed a ceramic vial of the orange paste and some more bandages but unfourtunately, he had to leave the book, oil lamp and extra vial of oil above the rafters.

At least he could pack the box of matches. His chest burned, but he didn't have time to be worried about that now. His grey coat was in his russack, neatly folded. The cloak did help him blend into the surroundings, even Tagu's white coat was barely visible in the dark.

Tagu tilted his head to the sky, brown eyes reflecting the stars, like the sky was in his eyes. Nego knew where he needed to go. He walked silently towards the sea. Tagu followed him. Fearlessly, Nego stepped into the water. His provisions might get wet, he would get wet, but still, he went further into the sea.

When he was completely under, Tagu was there. Nego realised an air bubble had formed around them. Instinctively, Nego clutched onto Tagu's neck. He buried his face into his coat. It was like a fluffy-underwater pillow

He used his knees to hold on, and Tagu swam towards the surface and started running. They were closer, so much closer. Water flew on either side of them, and the feeling ... was peaceful.

Nego fell asleep.
