What would it accomplish? Oz felt a little speechless to that question. He considered what would happen if he actually achieved his goal and reached Angelica before Zel. Zel would just get annoyed, see he had not made any progress with his ability to fight and likely kill the exhausted protector. Fred was right he needed a wiser way to follow. Hoping Angie could remain safe until he was ready would have to do, otherwise both of them would die and no one would be able to stop Zel's murderous sprees. "You're right. Even if I had the godsend of actually getting to Angie before Zel, he would eventually catch us. I don't think his mercy stretches far so that would be the end of it and Zel would just keep going." Oz turned to look Fred in the eye. "You sound like you have something more reasonable in mind. I'd appreciate any advice I could get."
