He ran as fast as he could. As a thief, he was used to moving through unfamiliar territory in complete darkness.
Branches lashed his face, but he hardly noticed. The ground beneath his feet was soft, with rain. He literally smelled the wet. He stopped and listened. He hated being the hunted, but it was worth it for that. They have already caught his comrades, he could still hear his scream in his head and now they were after him. No wonder he had stolen the Shóseki Káge. The book of the island of Kataná. This book is the most important thing these islanders have and he was able to steal it. There was a hiss in the air. He already suspected what was going on. They came! They were pissed off, that was clear. He hit a couple of Hagen. He wasn't kidding himself. They would get him. Even if he got his ship, they would get him. There, he saw the coast. Maybe he'll make it after all. "Stand still!" No, you almost reached me."Stop right now or I'll have to kill you." "Never, ahh" A flash of red struck him in the back, but he got up and ran on. Two more red rays hit the thief and more and more were added. He rose into the air with the precious book in his hands. "Be careful not to hit the book," said one. But too late, one of the red flashes touched the Shóseki Káge and a bright flash appeared. The thief got higher still. "You wanted it that way, you destroyed the book and we will never find out what it will tell us.", The thief started to laugh. The book rose and many bright green flashes came out of it. The thief still saw how the big round island shook and some parts of it broke off until it turned black.
