Well, I guess it's time to go. [Travel, Sagure->Shinkai][PG-13]

He was still melancholy, still sad as he ever was. The warmth had felt nice. The beauty of the island had been nice. Himitsu had even gotten healed. Now he and Himitsu were getting kicked off the island. Not that it really bothered him. He had heard something about a hurricane coming, not that he hadn't lived through viscous blizzards and sea storms, but if the boss of the city wanted him gone? The only thing that would stop him would be Himitsu's direct order to stay, and he highly doubted that she would issue and order like that.

So, into his dragon form he went, and Himitsu riding shot gun on his back, he took off into the air. The flight was fairly short, Sagure was just a bit off shore from his resident city. Soon he was back in his adopted home, back in the abyssal city made of white stone.

Hmmm... This had been a highly unpleasant turn of events. She had been looking forward to training... Really. She had been. Well. Not like she hadn't been cut short in her past before. Not like the world wasn't against her anyway. Honestly, she was starting to get agitated with everything. Tired of dealing with all of the stupidity. Stupidity that life forced on her. She had seen her father get assassinated, she had been abused by her mother, she had the blood of someone dear to her splattered across her face because the person hired to take her out aimed incorrectly. Training, gruelling training, then she had returned home and killed her own mother, not that the bat had deserved life anyway. Killing and killing and killing without thought. Blood of a hundred staining her heart. Falling sick. Nearly dying from that, then because of her weakness, because of how fragile and human she was, her city had suffered. People had died. Delicate life torn away because she was too weak.

She didn't want to deal with it any more. Tired. She was tired. Disappointed and tired. She wasn't going to argue with Amaranth though. No. This was Amaranth's island, and if she wanted her to go, then she would leave. After all, the hurricane might kill her. She was only human. Weak and breakable as all hell. Amaranth and Alec Kane must have considered her a laughing stock. That's all anyone ever considered her. She was no god-tiered super being like everyone around her... No.

Climbing onto her dragon's back, she let him take her back to her city.
