Not wanting to get in trouble with the law, but not caring enough to stop doing bad things, Ziann got a tip from Neal about some work that he could do in Hosenka for the Mob. He could travel that way, gather some more connections while working on his Magic, and gain the "Worldly experience" Neal was looking for before coming back to Baska City. The Cold Colliers would have to wait as well for help from Ziann, though they'd manage alone without the help of a novice mage for awhile.
Packing up what little he owned, Ziann drew his cape about him and headed off towards the East of Fiore. The journey was uneventful, a peaceful time where Ziann could compose his thoughts and try to keep a hold of his emotions. When he was in a manic mood, he'd lash out at trees and rocks with his Magic just because he could. When he was feeling more depressive he'd just shuffle along the roads or slump against a tree and take a break. It took awhile, but he eventually found himself looking up at the mountains surrounding Hosenka City and marveling at the size of them. He shuffled his way into the City as a nobody. How he would leave would be up to how long he decided to stay.
