They're barely visible already, swamped by pursuing figures in robes, at least seven at Flynn's rough count.
He has had worse odds, but at least in Hypionia he had a sword and his armor, a few other knights. Now it's just him and Yuri, and they've faced incredible challenges before but not like this, and so Flynn lets himself be pulled, cursing quietly under his breath as he and Yuri skid around a corner and come face-to-face with more Sleepers strung up, these ones—

We can't just keep running! We don't even know where we're going!
[ But the footsteps are already getting louder. They have to keep moving. They can't shut this place down if they're dead. ]
