Manzo struggled with the darkness himself, but in a different way. That experience, she hoped, would help him further understand her decision to leave Blue Pegasus. Among other reasons, there was no way she could safely reside in Blue Pegasus like that. LeeAnn's guild, however, offered better opportunities for her. Safer opportunities. Connections that could help her overcome her problems.
Once Atani was out of sight from Manzo, she wiped away the tears that had budded in the corners of her eyes. She sipped her drink along the streets of Hargeon, not even caring at this point if someone stopped her. This was her last day in Hargeon. If she wanted to drink a mimosa on public ground, she sure as hell would do it.
After her glass was empty, she returned it to the pocket dimension with the aid of her ring. That little piece of jewelry would make packing up so much easier. Having known she would leave for Astera, Atani already gave the heads up to her landlord. She terminated her lease early, and she was safe to leave Hargeon. It would a long trip to Astera, but thankfully she had her gryphon Throndil to tag along for the ride. Once she was packed, she hopped on his back, and off they flew to her new home.
