The young man had a secret place just outside of town, where he kept a couple of outfits just in case occasions such as this one came up. Rad grabbed some garments and quickly put them on under the shadow of a large oak tree. Moments later, he arrived and knocked at the monastery's door.
It was Django who opened the door for him, and when she saw him standing there, his hair all wet and messy, the young asakian rushed to his arms.
"Oh, Rad, you're alive."
Rad received his beloved friend in a hug and felt astonished. Of course he was alive. Django must of been sick worried for him.
"Yes I am," Rad said, nodding. "You thought differently?"
Django separated herself from him and took a good measure of him.
"Where have you been, Rad? Wait, don't answer that, come in here and step off the rain."
Rad did just that, but he knew time was of the essence.
"I need you to get out of Kikure," he said, grabbing Django by her shoulders and using a solid tone. Hearing that and seeing how desperate Rad sounded, Django frowned in surprise. "All of you, right now."
"What?"
"I...don't have time to explain right now, Django. But your lives are at stake here. Wake the others and get them ready to leave. I will ready the horses and wagon."
"Wait," Django called after him as Rad went rushing towards the door. Rad stopped and turned back to face her.
"Are you in some sort of trouble?" Rad understood what she meant. No, he was not a law-breaker, but he was indeed in trouble of some sorts.
"It's not what you think," Rad simply said. "But please, Django, do as I say. Many enemies are on their way here, led by Yosh."
"Yosh?"
"Yes," Rad explained. "I dont know what his intentions are, but I believe he joined the citadel of dark hearts and treasoned me."
After saying that, Rad stormed off.
Django remained standing there, digesting the info that Rad had told her. Yosh was an enemy now? She couldn't believe it, but she couldn't believe either that this was happening. She shook her head and headed to rouse the other orphans. It was time to obey Rad. She always did everything Rad asked and she would always do.
