"Brother Finn, how much longer do we have to go? It's like we have been on the water for quite a while now."
"I don't know either. This continent is huge."
Suddenly a bulb lighten inside Finn's head. He put his hand inside his robe and said in his mind, "Appear".
And took out the book from his robe. It was such a smooth action that, everyone on the boat will think, he just placed a book or diary inside his robe.
He opened the page where the map is drawn. Heopened the map he bought before and hold them side by side.
They are pretty close to the capital now. Maybe half an hour more. The boat has a tremendous speed. Although they journeyed for only few hours they actually cover few hundred miles already.
But then his eyebrows twitched for a sec. Some blue dots were heading towards the Capital too. It's can only mean one thing.
They found out about him. So, even after many years, the legacy of the books are still intact. It's quite a headache indead.
"We are near. But right after we reach the port, we will run, ok?"
"Why?"
"Some people are on our tail."
"They are probably here to either capture us or, for a talk, but there chance that they might kill us too."
"Gulp. Kill?"
"They probably won't kill us immediately, they might. In front of them I am probably a dengerous existance."
"Listen if they find us, I don't know you and you don't know me ok?"
"Are you scheaming something?"
"Yeah I am, now give me your ear..."
They made a well thought out plan, and sneaked away the moment the boat reached the port. Thoses knights were after Finn, not Galliyan. And they don't even know Galliyan's existance either.
First step, to hide from them is to,
Hide between the crowd.
They were walking with quite a speed. They were walking parllely while maintaining a constant distance between them. But in that much crowd it's very hard to see through that.
According to the map, those Shezmu knights are at the center of the capital. And the port isn't very far from that area. And unlike rain village, here in Sparter, the sky is very clear.
"Excuse me!"
"Give me some space!"
"Sorry for the push."
"Forgive me please, I am in a hurry."
Both of them were making eye contacts with each other to not lost contact in the crowd. This area is pretty busy. As expected from a capital.
They are heading towards the Capital plaza of Spertar.
Finn opened the book,
"Shit! They are almost here."
"And four of them at that? How much of a threat am I to them?"
Finn gazed at the map again. The dots are almost overlapping each other. He suddenly slowed down his pace. Watching him Galliyan also slowed down his pace. Because the map of the book is quite small, It's harder to pin point someone's true location.
Finn concentrated on his five senses. Specially hearing. Although there are too many people...He has to do it.
Differentiate between all those sounds. Listen carefully. Every people have different heart beats. Someone is agitated, someone is very calm. Listen to their foot steps. Someone is running, someone is walking peacefully.
Suddenly Finn felt like the world has slowed down. He can hear at the micro-level now. He somehow listened 8 co-ordinated footsteps.
They are them. In this whole area only except them all of others were either two or three man group. And there was no harmony in there steppings either.
Naturally they are the followers. Who have been tailing until now.
Splat!
Some of blood came out from Finn's ears. It's too painful to concentrate to the microlevel for so much time continuously while scanning every little sounds. He is too hungry. But what can he do, he is a persistent guy. He kept scanning the area despite it was painful to focus like that.
"Waaaaaannnnnnnggggg!"
Suddenly a long siren started to ring throughout the plaza. And an announcement could be hear.
"Attention the people of Sperter. Two men have ran away from Triton Prison. They are two very dengerous people. Please refrain from mmeeting any suspicious people. If you found some one suspicious, please inform to the official branch. Once again..."
The announcement was kept repeating for few times. Many people stood still and listened to the annoucement. But then started doing there job like nothing happened. It shows how much they feel secure being a resident of Sparter.
Finn walked to a book store, and opened his book again. It was a safety maesure. He smiled a bit ehile looking at the map.
"They are not some musclehead then...If it's like this, it is easier to work with them."
He was too hungry, he bought a random food froma streat fendor...it was grilled fish. Probably a speciality of Water country - the abundant amount of seafoods.
After finishing the fish, he bought another one, probably for Galliyan and put that inside his backpack. But suddenly something came to his mind and he bought more. Then, he went inside the book store.
He pretended to browse some books from the selves, and put his hand in a empty space, and took out his book from thin air.
Then he quietly sit down on a couch(probably for customers) while opening the map containing page. As expected Shezmu knights weren't pushovers.
They already came quite near. Many people with peotrol guards' uniform are searching the whole area.
He can see Galliyan loitering around like a normal boy. Although they are pretending to not know each other. They are still keeping eye contacts with each other.
At that very moment four people broke into the book store and took positions as surrounding a man wearing a raincoat, holding a book in his hand.
"Shit! I forgot that they can still find me by recognizing the book itself. I should have took another book and sheild it", Finn helplessly talked in his mind. But still he has to make a last moment effort.
He stared at them like wit shock, and asked-
"Who are you guys?"
