They found the carriage they had all used during Stage Three pretty quickly, and one of the Elphin even agreed to take them towards the Tower, so long as they promised to protect him and his horses.

Gladwyn sat on the bench at the front with the driver while Adam and Hahn sat on the roof, since they were ranged attackers and would be able to respond to ambushes the fastest. James was inside the vehicle, since there was no place for him to sit up front and he didn’t want to be on the roof.

“I wonder what would’ve happened if we didn’t save the girl,” Gladwyn said as they rolled down through the forest of dark-blue trees.

There was no path for the carriage and its horses to follow, but that did not deter the driver in the slightest. He managed to perfectly swerve around the trees, leaving a snaking trail in their wake.

“We would’ve had to fight our way out of the city,” Adam reminded him. “And I’m guessing we wouldn’t have been able to hitch a ride. We’re probably saving a lot of time.”

“I didn’t save the girl,” Hahn said.

Adam explained how they’d done it, as well as the Stage variant concept that Emelia had told him about.

“It’s a good thing we’re in your dimension then,” the guy replied.

“I suppose that is pretty lucky,” Gladwyn agreed.
