I probably should have given the Goddess of fire time to cool down. But instead, I told Sarah to wait, and, I rushed after my girlfriend.

She didn't go very far, in fact she was just out of view. But as I got close, the heat and light told me where she was.

She was mumbling to herself and throwing flaming rocks into a river. How she managed to set the rocks on fire I don't know, but they steamed as they sunk into the brook.

"Akeno?" I called.

"Leave me alone." She answered.

I almost said okay. But instead I stepped towards her. "I'm not leaving. We don't have to talk... I just..."

Upon hearing me actually give a shit, her shoulders slouched a bit and her hair and fur went out. She dropped the now not burning rock to the ground and sighed.

"She frustrates me."

"She frustrates me too honestly, but I think she's just scared."

"She's terrified, I can sense it." Akeno answered as she turned and looked at me. "But its not an excuse to be so rude."

"She was more cautious than rude."

"Don't take her side!"

"I'm not on her side. She is quite a rude person, but she's scared of death. And no one would ever believe you're a goddess at first mention. They will always question you because people lie."

Akeno's head was lowered and she was glaring at me like she was trying to stay mad but couldn't force herself. She sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Fine. I'll cut her some slack."

"God no. If she's mean you be mean right back. I just wanted you to be happier." I shrugged.

She laughed. "Very well." She walked over and leaned down to kiss me before walking past, and back to the trees. I smirked and followed after her.

"I'm sorry for blowing my top Sarah." Akeno said as she got back.

"Don't worry about it." Sarah answered. "I'd be pissed too. You're a goddess, not just some fox or demon."

Akeno nodded then looked to me. "What do we do now?"

I shrugged. "We need Alice to save you, and I don't know where she is."

"Use your Seer's Sight." Sarah suggested.

"I'm not very good at controlling it." I answered.

"You don't have to be. Just ask yourself where Alice is, and the vision should come to you." Sarah explained.

"I dunno."

"You made me talk to a tree. Shut up and do it." Sarah growled.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

Come on brain. Where's Alice?

A sharp pain in my skull told me it was working. Then visions began in my head and I saw Alice, riding on a black horse with glowing red eyes. She was alone, and dressed like she was surviving in the forest.

Then behind her, my vision zoomed in on a road sign. She was heading to Yeager?

Elysium summoned her.

I opened my eyes. "Alice is coming to Yeager. Elysium must have summoned her."

"Alice must not meet Minerva." Akeno said

"True that. Minerva will bite her head off. Or perhaps the other way around." I sighed.

"Let's go find this Alice." Sarah suggested. "Back to Yeager then."

The three of us began our short journey back.
