"I'm looking for someone." She mumbled. "For who?" "Him."
Selen looked at her in confusion, she didn't know who 'Him' was. "Who..?" Selen asked again. All zombie did was shake her head and facepalm. Then she remembered what Ao had asked her to do. Zombie grabbed Selen's wrist and started to walk and stop at certain buildings, but didn't utter a word. "Hey- what are you doing-" "Showing around. Like he told me to." She mumbled.

"Look!" Kaden exclaimed as he pointed to the harbor of another city. Few people were on the decks, the ones who had helped kill off Selen for good. So they thought. "We heard and seen things about your city, Madam Ambrose, we're sorry for your loss with the city." One man said as he helped the three off of the boat. Kaden noticed he didn't mention anything about death, which almost made him want to punch the man up the chin. "Currently our leader is away, and she may not be back in a while, but as soon as she gets back we can help restore your city as much as we can." Another man said. All Ambrose did was nod, and Kaden and Blue looked around at the scenery around them. It was quiet, crickets were chirping and the slight sound of the water crashing up against the low wall that separated the main part of the city from the harbor.
It was peaceful and could put anyone's mind at ease, but it unsettled Kaden and Blue. The quietness and ambiance after watching several people die right in front of you, including the person who they both thought was dead for sure, died again in front of them. "I just need to sleep, so much has happened today.." Kaden mumbled. As they walked around the city, they noticed that there were many people still up and awake at this time of the hour. The three of them noticed another boat arriving at the harbor, as soon as the woman stepped out of the boat and onto the dock, they didn't know who it was. She had long white hair, bangs that swooped over one eye and the other side tucked behind her pointy elf ear. Her eyes were as yellow as stars. Her face looked troubled, but not angry, she looked sad. It was never normal for Eloise, the "Stern Leader of City Mazelle" to look sad. As soon as she saw Ambrose she looked relieved and walked up to her. "I thought you had died in the destroyal of your city, thank heavens you are alive.." "Who are you again?" Ambrose raised an eyebrow. "Ah, I figured you didn't remember me, I had taken care of you when your father was away on certain missions. Although I only had the chance to do it once or twice." Eloise looked at Ambrose and smiled. Kaden looked deeply into the woman's yellow-golden eyes, he felt the chills. There wasn't any shine in her eyes, she didn't look physically alive. She looked pale. It was odd for both city and clan leaders to look like they haven't gone outside and been in the sun in months. All Kaden could feel was uncertainty and uneasiness about her. "What's with that strange stare? If I may ask?" Eloise looked at Kaden, who was studying her, and looked confused and scared. "You probably just remind him of someone from ancient history, he doesn't have any bad intentions." Blue quickly jumped in. She quickly raised an eyebrow and continued to explain things about her city to stall a bit. Then, introduced them to the spare house they would be staying in. "I hope you all enjoy your stay! I'm most likely sure there is enough room for all of you." She said as she walked away, and the others stared at her in both confusion and suspicion.
"Do you get a bad feeling about her? Or is that just me being paranoid..?" Kaden looked at Blue, then at Ambrose as he sighed, and both of them nodded their heads. "I don't know what it is," Kaden continued. "But something about her makes her look dead." "Do you think she's a ghost from the Ghost Realm in a human disguise?" Blue asked. "I mean, it is possible, we've probably seen countless at this point, but we were too young to notice it. Her skin and the pattern of her breathing throw's her off, and reveal her." Ambrose looked out of the window at Eloise. "I had read somewhere that one of the high-ranking ghosts in the Ghost Realm had disappeared a hundred years ago, and the ghosts thought she died when she went up to the Mortal Realm, where we are now." Blue sat down on one of the chairs. "So do you think-" Kaden stopped. Both Blue and Ambrose nodded. "We shouldn't just jump to conclusions so early. We need to observe her more if we want to learn that." Ambrose said as she looked back at the two of them. She was right. They would look like murderers if they just killed a random clan and city leader. "I think our best bet is to stay on guard for now." Kaden looked at the door, worried. As they all settled in for the night, it was silent. The ambiance from the streets was quiet. "Well, if we all die tonight, it'll be together. Night." Ambrose jokingly said as they all went to sleep.
