Dante reappeared a good distance from the village gates via flicker. The girl still sleep on his back as he broke into a full speed run. He was not gonna linger any longer on these parts. He heard a distant siren coming from the village. They've alerted their guards. Dante smiled for he was practically home free as some would say. Running through this valley was quite easy since it did not have many obstacles. On top of that it had various declines through out, making Dante's movements that much faster. Dante was a rather smooth runner, so he did no to worry about waking the girl he was carrying on his back. A leap here, a leap there. This was nothing but a small warm up exercise to him.
Finally closing in on the shore where he docked his ship, Dante had returned in less than half the time it took him when he left. Dante placed the girl down on the boat and began to undo the anchoring. As the boat began to drift off, Dante could see movement in the distance. They had followed him. Performing a hand seal, Dante created a dark grey fog along the shore and around the ship. With all the snow falling and this fog, the direction the ship set sailed in was surely masked. The would not be able to trace his travels from this point.
Looking at the girl, Dante wondered how long she would sleep. Looking around on the ship Dante found some spare rope that would have been used for anchoring if needed. After gathering the rope, Dante began to bind the girl's hands and feet, tightly. He made sure to bind the girl's hands at her sides so that they would not be able to connect with each other, just in case her father had her trained in the shinobi arts. With that done, Dante would rest opposite the girl so he could keep an eye on her. Their next destination would be quite some ways from here.
