They needed to run.. and
fast. Leaving the big cities behind should have been a piece of cake.. except Jack sometimes didn't know when to shut up.. or quit. One thing lead to another and a guard (which he told Fiona
many times) clearly deserved it... fell beneath the winter magics of Jack.
Now he wasn't a man to just toss around magical powers, but the man was running his mouth and pissing him off and well...
One thing lead to another.. and another band of guards that recognized Jack from
previous unhappy encounters now teamed together, vowing to bring Jack (and due to circumstances, his
companion) into the capital in chains for the harshest punishment.
Clearly that wasn't going to fly with Jack. He wasn't exactly a man you could simply chain up. He was antsy. He didn't listen well. And he was well..
Jack.One thing lead to another but Jack wouldn't be going back to any major city anytime soon. He ended up tossing
too much Magic around that a portion of the city looked like an ice rink..
In the middle of summer!So the pair had to move fast, and with what leverage they could use, procured a boat (okay.. they
stole the boat, despite Jack saying they could 'return' it later). And thankfully the rivers were moving fast, being swollen with heavy rains from the previous weeks. Infact, it was raining that very day, soaking both he and Fiona to the bone. And the river was rough, Jack needing to pull out some more icy powers to navigate them through the night, which was a near impossible task in its own right. The boat hit and scraped
a lot of rocks during its journey that part of the hull even cracked a little. Jack made due by patching it up with drift wood and ice, grouchily claiming it was 'good enough'..
Eventually the storm calmed but the rains never ceased, their down pour felt unending as the pair continued to travel down the river and into the night.
