Several days earlier, in Lakewest.
An airship resembling a flat bed arived at the crash site near Lakewest. Landing, the a person in Xiphatian uniform stepped out from the passengers side of the airship. Turning to the crash site, he lifted up the ear in which the wreckage of the ariship was lodged, and moved the now floating piece of earth towards the flat bed. After positioning the slab of earth so that the wreckage of the airship slid off, on to the flat bed, the mage moved the slab of earth back into the hole it had left when lifted, securing the wreckage with several charms that would hold it in place until dispelled, then entered the flat bed airship again. The airship took off, taking the wreckage with it.

The reason for his 'suicide' was pinned to stress, with two of the soldier's dying while on guard duty being the straw that broke the camel's back.
The search for Shadow had been unsucsessful. However, wanted posters featuring a not paticularly accurate image of Shadow had been hung in the locations where the were most likely to be seen, suchs as buildings that saw frequent trafic, and major streets.
