I took off in the middle of night.

After todays fiasco, I decided to take matters into my own damn hands, I had to find a way to make up for my past aggressions with Starla? So, I thought it was befitting for me to do so in this way.

That's why I'm standing out here at nearly two in the morning in front of the damn care center.

I wanted to reach out to the Oracle for Starla. Hoping that the Oracle will talk to me and at least find it somewhere in her heart to help me with the broken pieces of the sword.

I know she cares for Starla so maybe if I could just get a few moments alone with her I could somehow convince her to help her. Us!

Starla had another unwelcoming meeting tonight with her unknown stalker. The fucking bastard.

She was so damn terrified, screaming out horrifically, unfortunately she was sleeping alone tonight, meaning that no one was there to console her afterwards.

But Navin and I both heard her screaming bloody murder from our own guest bedrooms at the castle. Luckily we were both just down the hall from her when it happened.

That's what prompted me to sneak out of the castle tonight to come here. Navin wanted to tag a long with me but I refused to allow to come.

Starla needed someone there for her and I'm pretty sure I can handle this on my own, hopefully.

Climbing the few steps up to the entrance of the care center, I hesitate searching the grounds for any unsuspecting followers. With all of the guards at the High Royal castle it took a hell of a lot of ingenuity for me to escape the castle. I'd hate it if they just happened to follow me.

Stepping through the threshold I notice that the place doesn't have a lot of protection surrounding it.

I'm glad though because it makes this mess a hell of lot easier for me to sneak in unnoticed.

There is four main hallways flowering out from the main corridor. Scrunching my face up in confusion because I have no fucking idea which damn hallway I should even choose.

The main desk is currently vacant thankfully, I slow step my way to the moon shaped desk, quietly searching the papers that's thrown haphazardly upon it.

This place can use some better security, it was far too easy for me to break in, how do they expect to protect their own damn patients this way?

Searching through the stacks of papers I finally hit the jackpot, finding Padias's name among the many on the list. Room 411, so I'm assuming it's down the fourth hallway.

Now which one is the fourth hallway?

I could smack myself for not noticing it sooner the numbers of the hallway are clearly marked above each halls entrance. Stupid! I chastise myself.
