Nathaniel and I rode out of the castle on our horses. We found a small area in the wall which we could sneak out of. We tore past the village, eventually ending up on a dirt road. It was noon by then.

Kala, I need rest. Nightpain says to me.

"Nathaniel, Nightpain and I need to rest." I say, having to somewhat shout over the sound of our horses.

Nathaniel nods briefly then slows Slash down. He rides into a small dip in the road where he hops off

lash and ties him to a tree. I do the same with Nightpain.

"Thanks Nathaniel." I say, slightly out of breath.

Once again he just nods then sits on a large rock. He rests his head on his hands.

"What's wrong?" I ask. He looks horrid. His skin is slightly pale.

"Nothing. It's nothing." He replies.

"Are you sure? You don't look-"

"FOR ZORFLAD'S SAKE I'M FINE." Nathaniel snaps. Anger raditates from him.

I hop up then race into the woods.  I can hear Nathaniel calling for me, but I don't slow.

Eventually, I stop and hit the ground. Oil was leaking from my face. I fall asleep with my head resting on the nearest tree.
