Adeliah sat on one of the tiled roofs, watching the village. The wind blew the cool night air against her face. Adeliah shook the hood of her coat off her head. She took a breath of the night air before jumping off the tiled roof, landing on her feet perfectly.

She began to slowly walk on the street, her ankle boots clacking against the plaster stones. Her eyes scanned her surroundings carefully.

"Ah, there you are." Adeliah said, not bothering to be quiet. Her voice was deep but at the same time soft. "You were faster than I thought." she said as she walked towards Lennon.

He answered: "Yeah, I hurried. Definitely wasn't fast enough to stop you from scaring off all the people again, huh?"

Adeliah chuckled and started walking down the street. "You know me, honey. Now hurry, we don't have time forever." Lennon rolled his eyes and followed Adeliah down the street.

After ten minutes Adeliah stopped and crossed her arms, before speaking again. "There she lives. Evelyn Duster."

Lennon looked at the house Evelyn lived in. "I see. Well, you've done your job, you've helped me find her even tho I didn't ask for it. Now leave." Lennon said in a dry voice.

"Haha, whatever you say." Adeliah said before turning away to leave. "See ya at Death Blade." with that words Adeliah had walked off. Lennon looked at the house Evelyn lived in.

He would finish what he was here for.
