At the same time that Meiyo decided to give his time to Kurama with the excuse of searching for resources for both of them, three individuals had begun a new self-imposed mission to see if the new visitors would bring problems to the balance of Ionia.

''Do you know where we should go, Honoka?'' Questioned the Fist of Shadows to who she considered, more than a leader, a sister.

''For the moment we will only head to the south. The best thing would be to cross The Placidium towards the Epool River. I'm sure we can find them" She replied without taking her eyes off her path "But if you want to know their exact location, currently it shouldn't be too far from the Temple of the Jagged Knife"

''That's quite far away'' She sighed in defeat ''I assumed it could be more closer, but it's in the south of Ionia''

''For someone who is barely twenty years old, you lack energy, Samta'' Kennen says, making the girl get upset and frown ''If you want to do this quickly, I recommend you start running now; perhaps you will reach it on the third day. Of course, if you don't rest'' He finished with a small smile that was hidden by his mask.

''At least I know I'd get there before you, shorty''

''Mmm, doubt it. Maybe if I were young, it would bother me to hear that comment, but now all I can hear is how a little girl still needs her diapers changed''

''Damn it! I already told you to stop reminding me of that, I was only five years old!'' She shouted, while her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

''That's enough with you two, as much as it amuses me to see you having fun together, this is not the time for you to start your childish arguments'' Honoka says, as both of them remained silent ''But even if, you two, decide to catch up with them to finish this as soon as possible, I'm afraid you'll have to wait in line'' She concluded, leaving her friends in doubt.

When they were both going to ask what she was referring to, they were interrupted by Honoka "Apparently, our visitors have something that belongs to the Great Caretaker" She turned her gaze to the sky.

It would be impossible for anyone to distinguish anything from the dense clouds that currently predominate in the Ionian sky. But for Honoka, even in the Physical Realm, she could see things that others would dream of being able to do.

By simply resting her hand on Samta's shoulder and on the Yordle's head, it was then that they could observe what she was referring to.

Now both of them could see what they knew as the Spirit Realm.

Within the immense clouds that crossed the sky, there was something powerful enough for its presence to be perceptible within them. Bard was crossing the sky at dizzying speed, as if it were a meteorite, heading towards the same place where the three individuals had planned to go.

Already seeing that they were aware of such an event, Honoka cut off the connection with the Spirit Realm and once again began to head towards her destination "Now we know that even if we hurry, our goal will have already been reached by someone else"

''Then, if there is already someone who will take care of it, why should we go?'' Samta questioned.

''Because it is our duty'' She replied without hesitation and without giving rise to an argument, getting Kennen to nod in agreement ''Besides, the Great Caretaker will look for them because he has his own issues; I doubt our visitors will be that easy to deal with; that will give us time to locate them''
