Carian panted heavily as she reached the palace door and banged her fist on the door. "Open up Jaykay or so help me you'll wish you were never born!" She screamed, knowing he would answer if he didn't want his wrist broken. The door swung open and Jaykay glared at her.

      "What do you want, Carian?" He asked angrily.

      "Where is the royal engineer?! My lusus is dying! Get out of my way!" Carian yelled, face red with anger. Jaykay looked startled and he immediately ran off to get the royal engineer. Carian hugged her lusus close to her chest.

      "It's alright. The royal engineer is gonna help you..." Carian reassured. Jaykay walked over wringing his hands.

       "Carian... the royal engineer has... gone missing." Jaykay murmured anxiously. Carian's head whipped back to look at him, pigtails lightly hitting her in the face.

      "What? Where are they?" She asked with a grating, dark tone and anger flaming in her eyes. Jaykay flinched backwards, absolutely terrified of Carian when she gets this angry.

      "I... I don't know... I think they took a sick day... I'm sorry... and their room is locked... she's the only one with keys to it..." He whispered, cowering under Carian's deadly glare. If looks could kill he'd be laying on the floor with daggers stabbed into his chest cavities. Carian stormed off, holding her  lusus in her arms.

      "Deary, don't go through the trouble to save an old machine like me. I'm not worth it. Go find your gal pal. Talk to her. She needs your help with her current situations..." the battered seahorse stated with a clanking steam exhale.

      "I will save family over friends anytime. Although you may not be family by blood you're the closest thing to a parent I've ever had. I will save you." Carian spoke sternly with a determined expression. Her lusus simply nodded, knowing she couldn't get this idea out of Carian's head. "We're going to Sillix's, she's good with this stuff." Carian informed her lusus and set off to Sillix's with the huge creature in her slender arms.
