Hellstrom was walking through Westbridge on his way back to the Guardians hall when he decided to take a break and rest on a bench in Market Square. The market was not terribly busy but there were a few people wandering around to the nearby shops collecting supplies and bartering for goods.
A call came over the telepathic link from Jayden asking Hellstrom to go to the coffee shop in Westbridge quickly. Thinking there was some kind of trouble Hellstrom freed his axe of its holder and ran for the coffee shop as he was not that far away. He opened the door swiftly and looked around the room. Seeing only the waitress, Jayden, and Emalia, he put his axe back in the loop and asked Jayden what he needed. The silence that followed was enough for Hellstrom to assume that it had something to do with the Jenovese so he added "If this is something to do with the Jenovese or Grobnak I will be leaving now, I cannot stay while her beliefs are being belittled." Emalia asked Hellstrom to stay, and at her request he did.
A loud Thump sounded from the roof of the Cafe, and the three looked up at the ceiling above them. "Where you followed?" Jayden asked Hellstrom quietly.
"I don’t believe so, but I was warned this would happen." Hellstrom replies just as quietly as a frown creases his face. "Its ok, I will leave, it is me he is after." After an argument about who was going to go and who was going to stay, Hellstrom throws the hood of his cloak up over his head and makes for the door. Emalia called for him to stop and he did turning his head slightly to the side hiding the hurt look on his face within the deep hood of his cloak. Emalia tried to apologize for hurting Hellstrom, but he knew in his heart that he was the one that was that was doing the hurting on this day. It would be better if he got away from the city. He would stop destroying his chances with Emalia and he would lead the spy away from Emalia and Jayden.
He pulled his green cloak tight around him as he departed the cafe and ran full sprint into the ancient elven forests north of Westbridge. After running some maneuvers trying to lose his pursuer Hellstrom finally approached the clearing in the wood where he exercised and practiced. In the middle of the clearing he pulled off his cloak and shirt. stuffing them into his backpack and began his exercises. At least he might as well provide a show if his pursuer was able to find him here. What Hellstrom had forgotten was he had no way to contact the Guardians without that insignia on his cloak.
