Kisara found a piece of clothing that belonged to Eris. She looked around for more clues, but all she found was an elderly old man nearby.
“Excuse me, sir? Have you seen a young woman about my age with clothing of this color?”
He peered into the depths of the scrap and then glanced at Kisara.
“As a matter of fact, a group of thugs took her that way. I've seen'em before. They collect all kinds of girls to enslave. The poor things.”
Kisara scowled and glared into the north direction the old man pointed out.
“Thanks for the information.” she bowed and walked to the north and around a corner. She warped back to the meeting spot.
Matsuri dashed around several directions and arrived to what appeared to be a campground site for a troop of soldiers. She could tell because there had been bodies on the ground. It appeared to be a one-sided battle.
Luckily, one of the men was still alive. Matsuri slapped his cheeks lightly to wake him up.
He groggily woke up and his vision took a moment to focus. He noticed a young woman that tended to him. He gave a sheepish grin until Matsuri lit up one of her fingers with fire and gave an icy glare. He gulped and looked around.
“What happened here?” she interrogated.
“I'm not quite sure myself, lass. It all happened so quickly.” he sighed and sat up.
“It was a woman with wings, I know that much. She was really strong, too. And to top it all off, she freed all the women my boss had picked up.”
“Hmm...” she pondered for a moment, “Thanks, bub.” she smiled sincerely and punched him out.
She dashed back all the way to the meeting spot where Kisara had waited for several moments.
“What did you find?” they both said in unison.
“You first, Matsuri.” Kisara yawned.
“I found a campsite that was laid to waste, but one guy was still alive, so I interrogated him. He said a woman with wings came in and released all the women that were captured.”
“Well. That was certainly more informative than what I found out. All I found was the general direction of the place. Who's the woman with wings?”
'You're going to hate this,” she sighed. “We're going back to Lothua. The leader of the underground saved your pupil. Ironic, eh?”
“Oh, damnit all.” Kisara sighed and leaned on her rod. Matsuri and her had just came from Lothua, only to head straight back.
Kisara stood and prepared their teleportation to Lothya, when a loud noise went off nearby.
That was when Matsuri spotted someone with their arm on fire.
