She accompanies him to look for Amadeus. But along the way they curiously drift to the world of man where Annette is shot and captured. Distraught and saddened by the loss of his companion, Emil is forced to make the long flight alone.Over the city of tall towers, over mountains, following rivers, and crossing the long and mad waters of the ocean.Throughout his flight the thought of rescuing Annette plays on his mind.
