When they approached the gate, Vivian noticed that he had looked back at the town. She looked back and forth between him and the town, and she realized that this was probably his home. As he opened the gates for the both of them, she dug out her smart phone from her bag and she took a picture quickly (with the flash off), and quickly put it back in her bag, making note that she had to be careful of how she used her phone, while it still had a fully charged battery left. She then followed Ashton out of the town, unaware of what was happening back at the place where she started...

The man in the carriage blinked as the carriage continued on its way and commented "Hmm...Peculiar. That presence from the crowd..." The carriage stopped and the horse neighed. The driver called meekly "Lo-Lord Gylas...We have reached the Temple," Lord Gylas smirked and answered "Excellent," He stepped out of the carriage and walked up to the temple and went inside. He called while taking out a sword "Oh, Rura...Where are you?" He looked around the temple, but found that there was no sign of the Sage. He sheathed his sword and murmured "Hmmm...It appears that I was too late. I shall have to punish my seer for this,"

He then recalled the presence he sensed back in Gennovia and the glimpse of the strange girl in the strange clothes. He commented out loud as he recalled the memory, "Perhaps I'm not too late..." He then walked out of the temple, and headed for the carriage. He commanded the driver "We're heading back home. But don't take the same route as you did on the way here," The driver stuttered "Y-Yes Milord!" After Gylas climbed back into the carriage, the carriage took off again, and as he sat in the carriage, he closed his eyes and opened them again to show that they were glowing. 

He spoke to the Leader of Bandits that resided in the area telepathically "Aldreth. There is a girl that I want you to find...and kill. I'll pay you greatly for her head," After giving her the mental image of the girl he caught a glimpse of, and he got an affirmative answer back from the leader, before ending the telepathic communication.

Vivian looked ahead at the farms and the winding road ahead of her. She looked to him when he spoke, and she nodded at his words. She followed him and she asked tilting her head slightly, "Why wait until we get to the fork of the road to talk about where we're going?" She was curious about his thinking, and there was also the fact that traveling would be better than just walking in awkward silence.
