Amnar rushes through the market district towards an alley some distance away. He deftly slides under the trodding legs of an orray towing a cart of goods, vaults over a school of furry blue Squibs prowling the center square of the market, and slips neatly into the alleyway.

Dagman is pushed aside by the orray’s massive yellow snout, causing him to stagger for a few seconds before regaining his balance. He pushes the Squibs aside by force and nearly runs headlong into a kiosk vendor’s pushcart before stumbling into the alley. To his shock, Dagman finds himself face-to-face with Jeni Solo.
