Quietly, they fled the canals of Venice, never to return. The black darkness surrounded them, like a shroud of cloak. Not even the most distinctive whisper was said. The slightest sound made them jump a foot in the cool night air. The tall Venetian buildings crowded in on the pair. Hours and hours were spent slowly winding their way through the maze made of water. Progression continued until the end of the city was visible with unobstructed view. The sky had become pinkish with a hue of orange. It was the first hints of dawn. They quickened their pace, rowing a bit faster. The ripples of water, caressing their trail. The duo turned around, and looked back at the place they had called home for many years. They looked at the untraveled land. The new land which would carry them to wherever. Slowly they made their way across the unfamiliar land ahead.
