Refusing the Call

In my novel, with the lack of a specific call, it is hard to find a refusal. However, I can think of an event that seems to be a refusal. After some time with his followers, Zarathustra decides he can't handle them, he then runs away. His followers become very depressed and woried after he dissapears. After some time, Zarathustra returns accepting the call, and continues to pass knowledge to his followers.
