[div style="width: 45%; margin: auto; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 110%; text-align: justify"]Head true east.
Clancy's lungs burns electric white, like lightning, like a bishop's smile. He's far away from the trench now, out of Dema's clutches, but it still feels like he's being followed, shadows reaching out for him with fingers like knives. He hasn't stopped running since the banditos lead him out of their camp and into the valley, and that had been days ago.
The territory he had escaped to was nothing like the city he had been trapped in. It's covered in snow, strange weather for the summer season. This was the place he was supposed to be, if the compass he was carrying was correct. The compass he had stolen from the bishops had led him this way, and the banditos instructed that he head true east until he reached the fugitive camp a few days journey outside of Dema. They did not mention that the territory the fugitive camp was situated in was so cold. The place sends baby blue, sunflower yellow across his eyes, like a breath of fresh air, safety in the scent of golden flowers.
The tom doesn't realize he had passed the border until a small village comes into view, the small cottages so different from the tomb-like buildings of his old home. It was never home, it was just a slot. These buildings are brown like melting chocolate, something that says home, here to stay, here to hide. The buildings in Dema had felt more like prisons, the rooms the bishops assigned to them like cells. The whole city had been tombstone grey, like summer thunderstorms and losing hope. Clancy knows there must be a reason that the banditos sent him here, in this winter town that felt so much like new beginnings, covered in a glowing blanket of sunlight yellow.
He's quiet as he makes his way through the streets of Snowbound, the crunch of the snow harsh against the silence surrounding him. It reminds him of the Annual Assemblage of Glorified, with the moon hanging above his head and the town completely silent, watcher's eyes glinting coldly in the shadows. The tabby hugs his jacket closer to himself, shaking away the memory with a pained hiss. This isn't Dema. He escaped. There has to be better people around here.
Clancy stops in the middle of the silent town, snow falling gently around him. Fear twists inside of his chest, scarlet red like the head of a vulture, the bloodied face of a caught bandito. He swallows hard, shuddering against the cold, amber eyes closing against the sudden force of his anxiety. He can do this. There is no one around to drag him back to the trench.
The bandito that had sent him off into the valley had told him that the group he was heading to would know of his situation, and would help him with the next step. They had told him to head true east, to trust in his instincts, but he had used the compass for help. The compass needle didn't lie; things from Dema didn't lie, not including the bishops. This had to be the right place. The compass did not lie.

- "Hello? I'm Clancy, I was sent here by the Banditos. I need a place to stay."
The bandito that had sent him off into the valley had told him that the group he was heading to would know of his situation, and would help him with the next step. They had told him to head true east, to trust in his instincts, but he had used the compass for help. The compass needle didn't lie; things from Dema didn't lie, not including the bishops.
