Arcius suddenly jolts awake.

"Zhatora!"

Calming down, Arcius will look around, until he notices Shiavauni sitting in a chair looking directly at him.

"I'm glad you're awake, my Love."

"Shia, it's you. Where's Zhatora?"

Shiavauni rises to her feet, walking over to Arcius.

"I may be a Spirit my Love, but I still have feelings."

Shiavauni hugs Arcius.

"I'm glad you're ok."

"I appreciate it Shia, but I need to know where she is."

Sitting next to Arcius, Shiavauni smiles elegantly.

"Sorry, but I promised not to tell you where she was going."

Arcius gently grabs Shiavauni's arms.

"Please Shia, I'll give you everything, I lov..."

"I know. There's only two things I want from you, number one I've already taken, and number two belongs to her."

"Shia... please."

Shiavauni stands up and walks to the door.

"If you truly wish it, I can send you to the location of my border where I sent her. From there Sha Sha should be able to follow her scent.

Arcius rises out of the bed, manifesting his clothing.

"Yes please."

Shiavauni stops just in front of the door.

"Very well."

Before she could transport him away, Arcius stops her.

"Can I see her when she matures?"

Shiavauni turned around smiling, magic energy draining from her left eye as if she was crying.

"Of course, you'll be her father after all."

"Thank you."

"Arcane Fabric: Greater Teleportation."

Instantly, Arcius & Sha Sha appeared at the same spot on the hill that Zhatora did. Arcius immediately senses Sha Sha, turning to look at her.

"Thank goodness."

He runs up to and her hugs her tightly, rubbing along her scales.

"I'm so glad you're ok."

Sha Sha roars lighlty, giving a hint of distance.

"I know, I'm sorry I lashed out at you. I just couldn't bear to lose you too. If I did, I might just completely lose myself to rage."

Arcius looks her in the eyes.

"I know I have no right to ask, but I need your help to track down Zhatora."

Sha Sha quickly turned her head away.

"What do you mean you won't help me?"

Sha Sha roars loudly.

Arcius looks shocked and frustrated.

"You don't like her? You don't like any female that talks to me Sha Sha!"

Sha Sha lays down facing away from Arcius, pouting like a child.

Arcius pulls down at his face, frustrated with Sha Sha.
