He stands in the center of his father's Pattern.

Last appearance of the Hall of Mirrors has suggested that he should get very far away from both Amber and The Courts, and Ghostwheel has managed to talk him into exploring the limits of Pattern's ability to transport people.

With Pattern of Amber and Logrus of Chaos both still rather cross with him, there's really only one option for that.

So, he stands in the center of his father's Pattern.

Rinaldo-the-pattern-ghost and the glowing disk of Ghostwheel's presence were both there, watching him depart.

He's not exactly clear on how he's planning to return, so he's geared for trouble - all Trumps he could possibly need, and a some blanks, a dozen spells using Cowrin's Pattern as the scaffold (Sigil of Logrus does seem to obey him for simple magic, but he isn't going to rely on it continuing to behave), a good sword from The Courts, and various supplies.

Unfortunately, taking the spikard unknown distance away from its ties to shadow is probably not safe, so there goes his source of unlimited magic.

"Well, here it goes." he says, and then concentrates on his destination.

Take me somewhere far, where no-one could have gone before
