"Good point, I assume we could get the captain his boat back, but it's too much trouble and I still wouldn't trust him. So Let's just drop him at some corner. Yuu, if you want to bring your sister out of town, that's fine, she can also stay in my pocket, that should be safe and she can take a book or two. I want to check on Myria in the morning, Lasrane would be good to keep as potential informant or ally, but if it's too dangerous we can let him go. I am not worried about you, Vanyra, or me in this town, we are nobody as far as city politics is concerned, I doubt anyone would look for us. So I would stay for now."

"Then go get Myyria. Qwe can stay here. I can help if needed, or wait here. I want to head up the coast, where family can offer shelter. Actually, did you want me to find a doctor while you look into Myyria? Do you think she would need one?"

"Do you know a discrete doctor we can drop Lasrane off at? I would like the option of working with him, even though it may end up in  trap of some sort. It may be worth the risk for me and the Order if what he says is right." Zelpuz pauses for a second, "OK, so I'll go to see if we can Myria out first thing in the morning. We can get Lasrane to a doc now or in the morning, depending on your connections. And then we meet back here, does that sound like a plan?"

Yuu considers a moment. "I don't want to give Lasrane to anyone connected to my family. I think it would be dangerous for all parties. There's a monastery on the east end of town, quite out of the way... run by the Sisters of Caleb, they help the sick, among other things. If we drop him off, I can make a donation, and they'll take care of him."

"Also, I really want to get Qwe out. I mentioned my cousins. They have an island, several days off the mainland coast. We'll be safe there."

During a pause in the conversation, Vanyra produces a sort of mental sigh accompanied by an uncharacteristic feeling of worry and fright and contributes, "I really didn't want to talk about this now... but I need to tell you about something. I've been avoiding it because I don't understand it and I actually came here to find Myyria and ask for her help with it."

"All the things I've been worried about... They aren't just worries, I saw them happen already.  I saw Captain Westing's ship, and I saw the Shen Zue attack it.  I've also seen Yuu horribly injured in a hospital.  Things I see actually happen, and I don't want to be here when they do. I think I can show you, so get ready."  Vanyra then concentrates and sends out the following vision through the device:

---
A dot of light exists in an inky blackness, like a single star in the night sky. Her eyes  begin to adjust and the dot expands, and through it, as if looking through a telescope, she can see a well ordered column of soldiers marching on a cobbled road. Quickly glancing about in the limited frame of her sight Vanyra notes numerous ropes tied to shore cleats, suggesting this is one of the city docks.  These men are moving with purpose, marching past various piers, towards an unknown destination. Suddenly they turn right down one pier and break into a run.  Following their now raised Bolt Casters the form of a ship is visible, it is making fast for the harbour breakwater under its own power, a sail-less silhouette departing in the night. The men futilely aim their weapons but do not fire.

The ship's form slips into the darkness and ocean is replaced by a street intersection. Still looking down the barrel of the bolt caster Vanyra spies a small group in the midst of the street, surrounded on all sides. Then the wooden and metal barrel is replaced by her own familiar, night adjusted vision and a heightened sense of panic. She is with Zelpuz, Yuu and Qwe and they are staring down the end of a ambush.

As Vanyra frantically attempts to take account of all the possible assailants, she finds herself and her comrades simply walking away. Somehow though they have acquired some reinforcements, soldiers that she cannot recognize.

When she focuses on one of the shadowy soldiers walking beside her the silhouette slowly transforms and solidifies.  The formless dark coalescing into ebony skin etched by hypnotic white lines. Following the soldier's arm up Vanyra notes a number of bandages wrapped here and there, and a crutch braced under the left arm.  The soldier's gate is irregular and stunted. Glancing up Vanyra spies the somewhat familiar face of Myyria, grimacing under each movement, but with a determined look in her eye.

Just as Vanyra is about to speak to her friend Myyria's gaze jerks towards the night sky and she points in shock.  Following her gaze Vanyra spies two bright meteors falling towards the city. Plumes of white smoke billow behind them as they scream through the heavens. Following the meteors' path down to the earth she realizes a battle has broken out in the city. Arrows and bolts of nether energy fly about and steel clashes on steel. Finding herself in the middle of battle Vanyra quickly dives behind a nearby stack of crates, and the vision abruptly ends.

Zelpuz looks at Vanyra for quite some time trying to digest what he had just seen. After a while, he speaks: "So did all your visions come true? If so, it shouldn't matter when we leave the city, right? Judging by what is happening there, we might need the rest we could get now. But it might be advised to get out faster rather than slower."

Vanyra shakes a bit and her skin turns very dark, "Westing's ship got away in my vision but we may have changed that.  I don't know any more than you after that.  I don't want to get caught... I want to get out. I want to get Myyria out. I..." she starts before fading out.

"All right. Let's go get Myria out and leave the city as fast as we can. I guess it doesn't hurt for us to get out and think of how to deal with the Order then." Zelpuz thinks for a moment. "I would offer Lasrane to take him, I could take him in my bag I assume, up to him unless you have any objections."
"How do you want to leave? Do you want to try taking the ship from the Captain? In that case, I'd suggest I go get Myria and you guys try to get the ship back and I'll meet all of you there. Otherwise I'll meet you back here as soon as I can."

"I don't personally care what we do with Lasrane or Westing, but I don't know if the ship is a worthwhile option.  It should be easy to leave over the wall and Yuu probably knows secret ways out if we need them."

"I've never really had a reason to look for secret entrances. I usually leave and come when I please."

The young mage looks at Vanyra. "Also I mentioned a place we can dump Lasrane and get him healed. Maybe... maybe I won't go there, given the whole hospital vision? I'll pay a porter to take him. And I'd say just let the Captain go. I'd like to be on a ship out by tomorrow, doesn't matter whose, as long as it's going in the right direction."

"So you think it's better to go by ship than on land?"

"It's a lot faster, and my cousins govern a chain of islands. So far from the insurrection happening here."

"The question is if we can get out of the harbour. Vanyra, why don't you check out the dock and the Captain's ship while I get Myria?"

"Um, I don't think Westing's boat is going to be available.  It will take over an hour to even check on it, and we're really hoping that the Shen Zue didn't take away the crew or run them off."

"All right, Yuu, how would you want to move then? It will probably take me at least 2 hours to get Myria here, so you will have some time to prepare."

"Any boat heading off for trade towards the island, that can accommodate travellers will do. Actually... his boat would be too conspicuous at this point. Don't think any of us want that." The young mage stifles a yawn, his body running on will power alone.

"Go get Myria, I'll go talk to some captains. Vanyra, did you want to watch the guests?" Yuu flashes a quick glance towards his sister, suggesting who he's more concerned with for protection.

"If that's what we're doing, I think we should let our guests go and meet Zelpuz at the docks after he gets Myyria."

"That's OK with me, but I would like to keep Lasrane until I am back if possible. Myria might have a question for him or two and I would like her opinion on if we should offer him to work with us to investigate the Order or not. She has a better idea how things work."

Sensing a bit of hesitation in the Freyan, "If you would rather travel from the city by land, I'll understand. I can take my sister with me when I get back, and hopefully you will be reunited with your friend Myyria."

With a vibe of fear and impatience, Vanyra thinks, "I don't care what we do, I just want to get Myyria and get out as fast as possible.  I don't care about these two crooks, I don't care about where we go, I want out before the city turns into hell."

"Ok, I'll go check for boats." The words rush, sensitive to the deep panic in his companion. Yuu steps lightly over, giving a glance down at a sleeping Qwe who seems to have a found a spot against the near wall.

"OK, so to rush things along, I will head out now to get Myria now. I will come back here to meet you, so either leave me a note where you went or wait here. I will drop Lasrane at a hospital on the way, you can either release the captain at any time or we can just untie him when we leave." Zelpuz points at Lasrane,  "I will put him in the bag for transport. I'll be back as fast as I can."

Yuu nods in agreement. "Ok. We will see you back here. How long are you expecting it to take? And what time should we assume something went bad?" He's already halfway through the door.

"If I am not back by morning, something probably went wrong, if I am not back by mid-day, just leave, maybe leave some decrypted message here where you go. Otherwise, if we all survive, I'd show up at your home some day then."

Feeling the tenseness in the air, Zelpuz nods at the others. Vanyra and Zelpuz move Lasrane into the dimensional bag for safe transport, and the Mespah heads out the door. He activates his stealth field and rushes through the streets and on top of rooftops on the fastest route to the Order.
