Vod had spent a great deal of time Meandering through the forest like an clueless and innocent Glass, observing the wonders all around him, even as he was being observed himself by some of curious, lesser species of divine. The presence of a Glass idling in the Crystal Forest every now and then was not so unusual as to attract the attention of greater species. His curious observers mostly consisted of small fairies and nymphs. Though they thought themselves the perfect models of incognito, he was very much aware of every set of eyes on him, so he took care not to appear as though he were waiting for anything in particular. It wasn't long before they began too flee to the safety of whatever forest dwelling divine called home. Vod had no doubt garden's destination was under way, and they could feel it. They would never know his true motive.

A little over 30 minutes after the time he estimated the attack began when he heard the voice of a female Glass cry out "Please! Help me!" from behind him and he cracked a dubious smile. It was time. He jerked his head back in her direction; his eyes wide as if he was afraid his attackers had come after him. The white haired boy clutched his chest and let out a deep sigh, as if he were relieved to see it was just another Glass. Another refugee from the Garden. He stopped but shifted uneasily from his left and right foot, silently urging her to pick up the pace.

" Were you followed?! " Vod spat out once she had caught up to him. His eyes shifted from her, to over her shoulder, and back to her sporadically as if he were expecting someone to be hot on her tail. " N-Nevermind " he stammered nervously " I think we're the only ones who made it out so we n-need to keep moving before that horrible shape shifting demon comes after us! ".

Vod grabbed the girls wrist and took off running with her in tow. However he didn't take them far before he came to a sudden stop, causing her run into his back, almost sending them both tumbling into the ground " Sorry! " he exclaimed as he turned towards her with a hopeless expression " but I just realized I don't know my way out of this forest, and all the divine have vanished. PLEASE tell me you know how to get out of here " he begged. Still shifting from side to side restlessly. It would seem as though his adrenaline was in full effect.
