After a strange and short conversation with Nessa, Zach soon found himself roaming the streets of Basilia. Not a single citizen joined him. Still, the city was lively. There were hoots, shouts, and conversation echoing from all corners, thanks to the students making noise while hunting the dolls.
Since he had worked so hard and gotten injured when they dealt with Mursoth, Zach had been promised a short break to rest and recover. A day was all it took for Violina to renege on that promise and stuff him back into activity.
Even worse than that, she made him wander the streets of Basilia alone. The city wasn't that big, and he could probably find his way out. But after a day of walking, he might have covered a couple of blocks multiple times only.
