163. UNKNOWN

Weaving through the trees of Creagar, with the grace and expertise of a veteran obstacle racer, Noah traversed the forest silently.

He had long left the real pathway to travel in the forest. He constantly felt unsafe and naked running on the cleared path.

Alhough he doubted the actuality of being seen at his current speed, his mind wouldn't let him be.

Having arrived on the last path which led directly to Vonol, Noah readied his mind for whatever he would find there.

A bit more than two months had passed since he was last in Vonol, he expected changes, but didn't know how much the city would have transformed in that time frame.

Barely being able to sleep the other night, Noah's mind had been filled with his words for Jesse. He felt his heart twist at the thought of killing James.

Although he understood the whole situation had been a set up, he couldn't bring himself to tell the young man.
