"What do we do now?"

I'm irritated beyond belief. Hazel was a diffident no go. When we arrived at her cabin we found it virtually empty. All the furniture and personal items were just gone and unfortunately so was she. Deciding to take another route we headed to Granville to seek out another high witch by the name of Esmeralda, unfortunately her place was exactly like Hazels, barren. No sign that she even ever resided there at all; exactly like Hazel. With Trey disappearing from his cell or rather escaping, now along with both the well known high witches missing; we have both come to the conclusion that this has to definitely do with Heremas schemes. It's the only damn thing that makes sense and if that's the case then Herema is more diabolical that we even first imagined. There is not that many high witches in our realm and Herema just made two of the best disappear without a single trace. Maybe we should go to the counsel but the last time was a complete fiasco. We ditched that idea real quick.

Of course we thought about going to an average witch but Talon has more powers than any of them combine. So why bother? Unfortunately, without a personal item of Heremas, we can't exactly locate her in any other fashion. Unless.

"What about Aether?" The weather outside is starting to change, the cold seeps into my very bones. Shivering from temperature drop, I glance over to Baron. He's looks like a lost puppy, his eyes keep darting all around. Probably hoping the answer he's seeking is somewhere in the crowd of people walking by us seemingly without a single care in the world. Oh how I envy all of them. Someday maybe, when this shit is all over, we can live a life full of happiness and not one of extreme chaos.

"How would he help?" He sounds so defeated I have never seen him this so downcast before. It's like he's gone on autopilot, just going through the motions. Like he's in some hypnotic state.

"Maybe he has a personal item of Heremas that we could use to locate her?" Pretty much stating the obvious, he doesn't seem to grasp ahold of what I'm trying to tell him. His body just seems frozen, I notice he's barely even blinking now. His breath has gone shallow. A dreadful worry all but consumes me.

"Baron!" I scream out at him trying my hardest to get his attention. I have no idea what's going on in that head of his, but he doesn't act like he's even hearing me. Like a stone statue, his body is just stiff.

"Baron! For fuck sake, are you listening me?" I grab ahold of his arm tugging his body in my direction, he only looks down at my hand, I don't even know if he's even registering what I'm saying. Tugging on his arm I try to get him to focus directly on me.

"Baron what the fuck? What is wrong with you?" His eyes drift up slowly to mine, Barons body starts shaking uncontrollably, shocked at what I'm seeing, I drop my hand from his arm. My eyes widen with what I'm viewing. Trying to comprehend what the hell is happening.

His eyes roll back in his head, with his mouth agape, he gurgles out trying to speak. Smoke appears from ground casting wisp all around him, blocking his image from me, waving the smoke away from my face, I scream out his name. Not being able to see him, I reach my hand out to him. I can't feel him ahead of me.
