Chapter 44

I wake to the sun shining on my face, but everyone else seems to already be awake, including Jeetoh, who was talking with the others. So, you people were trying to find me? He seems quite alert, given his state last night.

That's the gist of it. Etirn apparently was leading the discussion.

I would like to ask why. I've never seen you people before.

To be honest, I don't think we really know. I sense something going through my mind for a minute. The sensation stops just as quick, as Jeetoh quickly breaks eye contact with me. But, what else do you have planned?

I need to get back to the Esper Mansion as soon as possible. I can feel an evil festering throughout Algo, and I need to find a way to remove it.

Yet, I'm sure you noticed the ice mountains blocking the way.

Jeetoh doesn't answer. I join the conversation. Would you be willing to travel with us for a while? We are in the process of finding a way through the mountains.

He shrugs. I guess I have no choice. Could you tell me where you people are headed?

I don't have an answer ready. I hear Etirn and Demi whisper about towns past Esper Mansion.

We are, uh, heading-

Travelers without a destination, eh? Well, let's head to Motavia, then.

I wonder how he knew we were going there? How did you-

I just had a feeling, miss.

Ray looks at Jeetoh once more. You recovered pretty quickly from your little romp in the cold. I've also never seen that fire technique you used before.

He shrugs. That's magic for you. I'm an Esper, though I can see that you're not familiar with the term.

Magic? Etirn stops the questioning. Let's get back to warm sand before we all freeze to death. Let's go. Since we don't stop in any towns on the way, we get back to the spaceship in the afternoon.
