"At the rate we're going, maybe we'll catch them and find out." She put her head down in his shoulder and eased her breathing. "We'll bring him back." She mumbled trying not to drift to sleep.

"If you need rest, do please my lady." He kept going, thankful that wherever this spring of energy he felt came from, it hasn't dried up yet.

She began to doze off. Before she was completely gone, she felt a burning sensation from one of her pockets. A surge of feelings hit her like a wave. Sadness, fear, guilt, the anger. Glimpses of things to come. Then the worst of it. Faces from the past, the fight with assassin, the group fleeing the city. She bolted awake, struggling for a moment before she remembered where she was. "Alaric, how long have I been out?"

"About three hours. With any luck, we should reach them soon. We are at the base of the Aongolan Mountains. There is nowhere else he could have gone."

Charlotte inhaled deeply as she took in the mountains. "Yeah, he's here alright. And close." It was another moment before she realized she was still holding on to Alaric. "Oh uh, you can let me down now. I'm completely refreshed."

"Right of course." He set her down and stretched his arms out. "Glad I could be of service."

She put her head down. "I guess I owe you, so thank you." She turned her back to him and pulled the mask out of her pocket. There was a fading glow and the after image of what looked like mezit being replaced by the eye. She glared at it again before stashing it back in her pocket before pulling out Aoife's necklace. "Nowhere to go but up I suppose. There should be a path somewhere nearby."

Adminius, having gotten no sleep the night before, had taken refuge in a cave just a little ways up the mountain. He had made use of his cloak as a blanket as he rested, making sure that he was in top shape to die.

Alaric looked up once they found the path. The mountain's climate changed drastically from this point on. Trees became sparce, and after a few hundred feet, snow covered the path, doubtless serving to make the trip more treacherous. "I see a cave fifty paces up. That is most likely our last chance to rest, without being exposed to the elements."

Charlotte moved up in front of him. "I'm willing to bet you're not the only one who had that idea. despite your magnificent feats of endurance, you're probably not as good as you look. Rest might be in your best interest."

She was right. Or rather, mostly right. His own body was exhausted after the long trip up the mountain. But one of the runes on his back was still brimming with energy. -No, using runes to substitute for my own weaknesses will result in a healing coma. I do not have time for that.- Alaric thought back to the days he had spent on the back of Cultus's horse. -No, it is best if we rest.- He walked into the cave and was surprised to see Adminius. "There you are!"

He stirred but didn't wake, clearly having been in desperate need of rest.

Charlotte crossed her arms. "I was honestly hoping he would be awake. I guess that means we don't have to go all the way up."

"You are correct. Though, I do not know if it would be correct of us to leave this unfinished. He came to stop further attempts on the princess's life. It may be that we are the only ones able to assist him."

"I figured you would say that." She walked into the cave and nudged Adminius. "I suppose we set up camp and wait for him to wake up. Sit down. I can take first watch."
