Flain spread his wings in the center of the valley and flew to the top. With his sword, he made a small hole in the ceiling and flew out.
He transformed into his human form and began running forward at full speed. After an hour, he passed the city that he and Itai had visited first. Back then, it took them two days to get there, but now it took Flain only one hour.
Many people turned their heads toward Flain since Enlightened usually don't travel at full speed, but instead ride in carriages, as traveling the way Flain did would drain their stamina very quickly.
But those who noticed him soon turned their heads away, thinking he was some poor Enlightened who didn't have the money to rent a carriage.
Flain continued running for another day until he arrived at the Imperial City. Many carriages were arriving at the Imperial City, so all Flain had to do was ask the people in them which direction the Imperial City was, and he could be certain he would arrive correctly.
