As soon as Artemis was done healing his leg, Vaclav rushed up the stairs. He did not want to rush his friend when she was helping the two boys but the smell of smoke permeating the house left him uneasy. If more Hyallians showed up at their doorstep, they were not going to make it out alive, especially with a dead Hyallian on their cot. 

At least he had already planned for the day that they would have to flee this house. Opening the closet, Vaclav grabbed two packs that he had packed for himself and Artemis in case of emergencies. The packs had essentials like a few days’ worth of clothes and emergency supplies. Looking around the room, he stuffed a few other items that were lying about before making his way back downstairs towards the kitchen.

The location of the nearest safe house was a few days away, so Vaclav pulled out another bag to pack some food. He grabbed mostly dried meats and bread but also packed a few fresh fruits for the road. Before reentering the front room, Vaclav checked over all his bags. Once he was satisfied, Vaclav slipped his Offering jewel underneath his shirt. It would be there in case he needed it, but he didn’t want to draw any unnecessary attention to himself.

Artemis heard Vaclav leave the room, no doubt packing all the essentials for their departure. She smiled sadly at Liran’s words. “We will. Don’t worry, dear.” Artemis suppressed a shudder, remembering the times when they were a tad too late fleeing the area. Many times, she wondered how the Hyallians could be so cruel, viciously killing people for power as if there was no value in a life not their own. 

Standing up, Artemis stepped into the kitchen where she heard Vaclav rustling around. She noticed her pack on one of the chairs upon entering and slipped it on. Vaclav was standing near the backdoor, peering out of its small window. Walking over to him, Artemis stood on her toes to catch a glimpse of what’s happening outside.

“How are those two?” ask Vaclav quietly. 

Artemis shrugged, knowing that her friend could care less about her answer. She knew he just wanted to know if they were able to move though if they weren't, she had no doubts that he would leave them behind.  “Doing well for their situation…”

“We need to get out of here.” Vaclav frowned at the situation outside. 

Artemis nodded and walked back to the front room. “You two need to leave as well. No one should be here when more of [i]them[/i] come.” She motioned for them to follow her through the house. There was no sense in leaving through the front where they could be seen by anyone.
