[SRP] Manhunt

[Toogee]

Paige nodded and led the others to the broken area of the perimeter fence. She remembered the villagers taking this same path to protect their homes. Now she would be taking it to protect herself. Their path was noble. Was hers?

As they exited the village (unseen as far as Paige was concerned), the landscape of Elibe stretched out before them. The flat lands that made Pherae's cavalry so threatening seemed endless. The only thing stopping the plains from reaching infinity were the distant peaks that bordered with Bern. All of this was given a faint orange glow from the new dawn.

Paige's trip across Elibe had barely started and already took an unexpected turn into potential fugitive status. She wondered how she could continue when she was traveling with an alleged assassin and Etrurian noble. Could she still walk into the libraries of cities with some authority anymore?

"Where do we go from here?" she asked her companions. She needed time to adjust to the new status quo before she could figure out where to go next in her research.
