### Summary

#### Back to the Continent

The *Rascasse* sails peacefully. Lucas speaks with Amicia briefly, then she has the opportunity to walk around the ship and catch up with her companions. Hugo worries that he is 'different,' but he is eager to go to the mountains. Sophia asks about their plans and Amicia tells her about the de Rune mountain home. Arnaud is still passed out. Lucas talks with Amicia about how she is feeling.

Hugo calls Amicia out when Arnaud wakes up. They talk to him together. He apologizes for what he did and thanks Hugo and Amicia for saving his life.

#### Escape

Sophia shouts to everyone—there is a ship following them, and it is gaining fast. They all spring to action. Lucas takes Hugo into the cabin and tells him to stay hidden no matter what. Sophia tells Arnaud and Amicia what to do; they lower the mainsail and adjust it to the wind. The ship is still gaining, so they start pushing cargo overboard, but they are close enough now that arrows start flying and the Count shouts at them. Amicia leaves Arnaud to keep throwing cargo. She runs to the upper deck and starts shooting back at the ship.

The Count's ship rams into the Rascasse. Amicia is briefly knocked out, but can hear the sounds of battle, and hears Arnaud shout that "they fell overboard!" When Amicia wakes up, she looks at the ocean, but she can't find Lucas or Sophia in the water. Meanwhile, Arnaud is single-handedly fighting the soldiers. Amicia joins him as the soldiers start boarding.

#### Assault

They fight a small army together, but eventually Hugo runs out, shouting that Amicia needs to come inside. Amicia starts running to grab him, but an arrow pierces her side. Hugo screams while she falls. Arnaud covers her with his shield and tries to call Hugo over to them, but the Count comes aboard and Hugo focuses on him. He tries to summon rats, but fails and instead charges at the man in a blind rage. The Count chops at Hugo's neck and the boy falls unconscious in his arms.

He carries Hugo back to his ship while Arnaud tries to tell him what a bad idea that is. The archers start shooting again and with nowhere else to go, Arnaud throws Amicia overboard and jumps in after her.
