Pursuit II

The Savage Forest shimmered under the dawn's rays. The fresh light made the flora and fauna seem like it had been upgraded to a higher resolution.

Hugo blinked at the sun that illuminated a day he doubted he doubted he would enjoy. He let the moment sink in, soothing him as the nascent rays touched his skin.

He had been playing hide and seek with the mystic emperors and Migotir Royal Guard for the entire night.

At first, only the emperors had sought him from high up in the air. They had quickly been joined by militia from Migotir City. However, with the help of Freya's esper sense and the Cloak of Thanatos, he managed to evade his pursuers and flee further south.

He had already traveled further than 150 miles from the city but he still felt uneasy. The danger still felt all too real.

"Freya, I hope no one is following us now. Right?" He asked. He couldn't shake the feeling that some entity still had its sights on him.
