Running Away [4]

Flash!

Damien's eyes suddenly became clouded for a moment after he had the thought. It only lasted for a brief second, but when he came to he felt that he had comprehended something good.

It was nothing but a spark of insight, but just from that he knew he was moving in the right direction. 

'Soon. I'll have that power soon.'

Damien opened his eyes, unaware of when he had even closed them in the first place, and slowly took in his surroundings. 

Although it was still nighttime, the moon was no longer high in the sky, already on its way to setting. Looking down, he noticed that Ruyue was still on his chest even after so long.

"Hey, I think it's time we leave now." He said softly, but he got no response. After poking her cheeks a few times, he realized that she was probably asleep.
