>>41124926 >Damn it, she was losing him! >And with a fence fast approaching she also had to make it over. While Patrick could just leap over it in a blast of fire, Victoria had to push herself over with an ice pillar.
>Cursing under her breath, she builds ice under her feet rapidly to shoot herself into the air and hopefully over the fence.

Wow, you're persistent! Are you really that determined to catch a guy like me?
>Part of him took the action as a compliment, the other part was a little scared. How long would this go on for? Would he be able to get away? Now that he was thinking about it, his wounds started to ache. One wrong move here and he'd be right back where he started, if not worse.
>Sprinting away, he rounded the corner of a small building to try and find some kind of alley.

>>41124973 >Rolling into her landing to prevent stumbling, the General keeps in the mage's heels eventually one of them will tire out and she knew it was going to be him first.
I don't let me pray escape regardless of their quality! Even if you do get away, I'll find you even if it means hunting you throughout the whole kingdom!
>She continues to give chase to Patrick and is know aware that there'd be no way the rest of the guard would have been able to keep up in their armour. It was just her and him again.

>>41125018 >Ooooh no, did he just encourage her!? All that distance he'd gained was closed in an instant! What was with this chick? He'd have to lose her in a crowd or something, try to make it to somewhere a little more populated.
>The road he was running down was carefully paved, and being in the noble district it had few builds and fewer people wandering around. Patrick reached a street corner sign, taking a very quick look. Straight ahead for the upper district market, left to go further into the noble district, behind him was also the noble district, but to the right...
>*The Harbour! If I can catch a boat outta here then- Wait, shit, she has ice magic..! I'll have to lose her before I set sail down the river! Still, it's my only shot.*
>Patrick bolted to the right, bearing down the wider road. A couple of carriages were coming back and forth and some pedestrians roamed the streets, several looked over as he sprinted past. In the distance, he could see the giant harbour walls of Empyrean standing like an imposing barrier. All he had to do was make it beyond those!
>For now, he'd just have to keep going, praying he'd make it to somewhere less open soon.

>>41125044 >Faster... Faster! Faster!! >She was so close to catching him now, she had only a few more meters to go before he was in custody once again.
!!
>Then she sees the harbour walls and realizes his plan. He was going to try and get away by boat, but he had to have known he had to lose her first... Which means she had to get the harbour locked down before he could do that! But ever guard in the city already had to have swarmed towards the garrison when the alarm sounded meaning there would be no one in the harbour to start a lockdown. >Was that part of his plan? No, he was too much of a fool to have intentionally planed something like that... Right?

>>41125144 >Damnit, he couldn't even peek behind him to check if she was getting closer at this point! All he had to do was get to the smaller buildings near the harbour, then he could slip away between them, hide in the crowd, maybe borrow someone's coat to disguise himself or something!
>Just one more sprint and he'd make it...! Jeez, his legs were really starting to feel the burn of all this. Still, all he needed in that regard was a little more spring in his step, keep his pursuer on her toes!
Wow, you're fast! Chasing after me..*pant*.. all this way so relentlessly, and I don't even know your first name! Have I managed to melt that frozen heart of yours yet?
>Breaking into a full run, he had just one more chance to gain some distance between them before he'd have to start hopping between buildings.

>>41125154 >The chase was starting to take it's toll on her as well. She was use to running for long stretches of time, but even she had her limits. Her legs were aching and her lungs were screaming for air. She wouldn't be able to go on much longer unless she wanted to pass out.
As if! If anything, I'll be ripping yours out of your frozen corpse!!
>She still had enough energy to scream at him though. Mostly in frustration for seeing him start to pick up the pace that would he hard to match now.

>>41125171 >He'd finally made it, the harbour! All these wonderfully small buildings, crates and barrels, warehouses and all kinds of places to slip behind! With that last burst of speed, he'd gained some distance, now all he needed to do was hide, then sneak away to a boat when the General wasn't looking.
Let's see... I'll just grab this coat real quick.
>A simple black coat and scarf, typical Terminian fashion. Oh, and his hat - he'd have to take off the hat, that'd make him way too obvious. Now all he needed was a hiding place.

Is that the general?
What is she doing here?
>A crowd more or less started to form in her path. And she was not in the mood for that when she caught sight of where her target hid.
MOVE!!
>The single shouted command sent what people had gathered scattering like birds as she stomped her way towards the barrel grinding her teeth and muttering curses all the way. Patrick could hear a boot heel hitting wood and almost feel the ire being silently directed at him for causing so much confusion and delay.
. . .
>She could freeze the barrel solid and roll it into the water hoping he'll drown in it... Or... Ooooooooor... she could do something better...
DAMN IT! HE'S GOTTEN AWAY THE LITTLE SHIT!!
>She puts on a good act to make Patrick think he was home free and even walks away to make it seem she's looking else where... Before walking to two dock workers and ordering them to take the barrel back to the Garrison while she followed in silence.

Well look at it this way Patrick, this was the day you almost got away from General Victoria Neige~
>Of course, he wasn't going to get the chance again. The various cables on the heavy iron backpack he wore connected to a machine the room next to him. It would make sure he wouldn't be setting fire to anything so long as he had it on.

>>41125256 >And so there he was, bound to some kind of contraption that seemed to block his connection to magic, whilst beaten, bloodied and hungry. She hadn't been so forgiving with the food this time. In fact, she hadn't been forgiving at all. In fact, it might've even been rather kinky if not for that fact that she had no respect for his well-being, aside from the fact that he lived as a testament to her victory.
>That and at least she wouldn't have the church bothering her over it.
Victoria, huh? That's a pretty name. I guess we're gonna get to know each other a fair bit from here on out, huh?
>His words were tainted with a hint of salt, mostly because she used his line against him and managed to trick him completely.

>>41125270 Yes we will indeed, so long as you have your usefulness.
>She knew he was lying about where he came from and that meant it was something worth hiding, maybe something more as much to the army as it would be to the church. And she'll do what it would take to make it come out. Starve it out of him, bleed it, beat it, freeze it out of him.
And when you're not and I let you be the church's problem, you'll beg to be sent back here when they start working on you.
>She had no more mercy for him. Only a cold uncaring glee in being able to play with her pray. Like a cat batting at a mouse until they finally decided to kill the rodent.

>Silence filled the air after she made her confirmations. He'd be passed back and forth between the church and the guard, messed around with like a chew toy until they were done with him. A cruel fate, one that Victoria deemed fitting for him, apparently. How did he feel about this? Looking forward to the future and seeing only pain, without fulfilling his dreams?
... ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha... a-Ha Ha Ha Ha!!
>That age-old grin returned, the idea that he knew something she didn't. Something that, even in this situation, suggested he hadn't lost to her yet, despite being on the receiving end of her torture and abuse.
You won't find it, you know. No matter how hard you look.
