Abruptly, Tarias came face to face with Leanna blocks from where he had expected to find her, her face hardened between terror and relief at the sight of him. His tilted eyes when he saw the armored man grin the night before, and the flying crate being hurled in her direction. He grabbed her by the wrist and swung her around the corner, letting their momentum carry them onward, keeping his hand at her wrist. "No ships," He explained breathlessly, "But there's another way!"

The two were fast, particularly once they reached the crowded main corridor of Hull Way, where two slender unencumbered figures were better able to maneuver and melt into the crowd. "Persistent fellow," He noted, glancing to study her face more carefully once they had turned back off onto another smaller street. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

He glanced up the street to where the ancient portal stones stood, silently awaiting the magical charge that only a mage could bring to activate them. "We can portal to Sihirisium," He explained, barely out of breath but breathy still from adrenaline. "But we need a mage. The mage house should be nearby."

"I'm fine. He is really strong. He must have waited all night!" Leanna panted as they turned the corner. "Wait. A portal?"

Another crate roiled passed them and the people cried out as the armored figure continued his hunt. They ran again. "Will he help us?" Leanna yelled after him as Tarias left the way. 

The half-elf and the red haired girl exploded into the mage's home. Leanna bolted the door and hid behind it, hoping the knight wouldn't find then as he continued the search.

An older man ducked his head around his kitchen door completely oblivious to the danger his impromptu visitors were in.

Kaius rounded the corner, over compensated for his shift in weight and speed and shouldered the building hard. The impact knocked the wind out of the behemoth, knocking his head painfully against the inside of his helm.

He righted himself. Willing the air back into his lungs. Lumbering menacingly down the street.

"YOU let her go" He huffed under his breath. The two runners had slipped out of sight. "This is why you are weak"

'She is on the run'
Kaius reasoned with himself. 'She is not a threat'. 

Kaius talked with himself a lot, he knew himself well and frequently disagreed with his own actions and thoughts.

"She is wanted"
'So we're you once'
"I was wanted because I did the right thing!"
'.......'

Kaius did not respond to himself. The silence was deafening. He was right of course.

"I will find her", the brute finally admitted. Then she can explain for herself and IF she is right..." He trailed off. He knew what he would say next. Kaius did not take kindly to corrupt politicians. But he took family failing their own blood personally. 

Kaius slammed his fist into a nearby building causing plaster and lath to cascade like a shower of the old building. Calming down, kaius tried to think. They did not run toward rhe dock, rather away toward-

Kaius eyes the old stones the Magics use for arcane transportation. He sighed and walked toward the arch.

Within the portal mage's small house fairly adjacent to the portal itself, Tarias leaned against the inside of the door, frowning narrowly in distaste at their pursuer's determination. When the unkempt old man's face peered out around the corner at them, Tarias nearly leapt at the poor man. "We need to get out of here!" He said loudly, reaching to his belt to pull free his pouch with the mix of coins from himself and Leanna. "We can pay you, but we've gotta go *Now*."

The old man teetered forward with a confused look on his face, scratching his head as he looked them over. "Humans? You don't wanna go to Ostia do ya? Portals don't work over there you know."

Frustrated and hurried, Tarias shook his head. "No, not Ostia— Sihirisium! The college! Surely a portal mage can send us to the mage school!"

The man smiled regretfully. "Oh, can't send ya there, either— not unless you're on official school business." He narrowed one eye and opened the opposite wider, craning his neck to ogle them both. "Unless one uv'ya are magi, of course... I can send mages to the isle..."

The door thudded loudly behind them, or perhaps the corner of the building itself, causing the half-elf to jump. It wasn't that he couldn't fight; Tarias had already proven that he could, indeed, step up and defend himself, but the odds seemed overwhelmingly against them with this over-armored man, and if word got out that Leanna had a price on her head, things would surely only get worse.

"She's a mage," He nearly shouted at the man. "Sort of. We need to go! We can pay twice whatever you want! Is there a back door to this place that leads out to the portal?"

Another slam of the building, and even the old man now seemed to realize there was a need for urgency. "Well, yes... But it's back here, in my room—" 

He'd barely finished explaining when Tarias began to leap past him in that direction. "Let's go!"
