Lirean Castle

Danaya was still in her chambers fast asleep when her sisters departed for their journey, the alcohol was still in her system and her body still felt that the embrace of her bed is much better than getting up.

"Sangre Danaya!" Imaw's voice echoed in her room

"HUH?! WHAT?" Danaya bolted up from her sleep and wiped the drool of her face

Imaw just raised an eyebrow at her, waiting for her to realize what she should be doing at this time.

"What?" Danaya stared at the great sage but Imaw just stared back at her nonchalantly

"Great Sage, can you please tell me what you want from me I am not a mind reader of some sort, you're wasting my time" Danaya said before covering her mouth before yawning.

"Tsk, and you really think that I'M the one wasting time?" Imaw smirked

"OH SH-" before she could finish Danaya jumped of her bed and into her boudoir, grabbing any piece of clothing she could reach and her cloak before running off.

"Great Sage, please do tell mother that I already left" she yelled before vanishing into thin air.

The Sangre appeared in the border gates of Lireo, wearing simple clothing with earthen color, a pair of training kali sticks, and a cloak that matches her outfit.

"Geez Danaya so much for having to work double time" she mentally cursed herself while looking around, she spotted a few travelers and a group of gypsies and performers. Among them were two familiar faces.

"Wait is that? Apwe?" Danaya had a grin in her face as she tried to approach the group but before she could be near, fires blazed in her path.

"Uh-oh, I think she's already noticed me" the youngest of the Sangres quickly backed out

"Well where should I start? I know that The Land of the Gaia Regents are right below the spot where the entrance to Devas is located but how do I get there?" Danaya aggressively scratches her head as she realizes that she hasn't thought of it thoroughly.

"Um excuse me" a voice called her

"Huh?" she looked around

"Down here" a small figured girl was standing in front of her

"Oh hey can I help you with something?" Danaya noticed that her eyes were like endless voids

"Um my family and I were travelling to the northern lands and it just so happened that our carriage broke. My dad was pinned down by it. I was wondering if you could help us" the girl smiled.

'How can you calmly said that? Where's your father?" Danaya asked before running after the girl.

"Ow Ow Ow Ow" suddenly a voice echoed nearby

"There" the girl pointed to a spot nearby

Danaya followed her and saw a man under a broken carriage. She didn't hesitate to use her power to help.

"Tha-Thank you good miss" the man bolted up real quick making Danaya confused.

"I-I thought you were inju-"

"And were off thanks again" the man and the girl smiled nervously

"WAIT" Danaya said, the two froze and slowly turned to look at her
