A couple days later...
Everyone is currently driving through a nice, forest pathway and towards a small town just ahead at the crack of dawn.
Owen: "Rise and shine! We're almost there!"
Rox is the only one who wakes up at first.
Rox: "(rubbing eyes) Huh?"
Lariat and Makoh follow.
Lariat: "(drowsy) Owen?"
Makoh: "(drowsy) It's like... six in the morning."
Cale and Veld are last.
Veld: "(stretching) More like seven."
Cale: "(yawning) Almost there?"
Ariyae is still out cold.
Owen: "Yeah."
Everyone else gets up and begin to stretch.
Lariat: "(stretching) What're we going to do about Ariyae?"
They've just entered town.
Veld: "I think it's best for me to stay and-"
Rox: "No way! If anyone can talk to Nyria, it's you Veld."
Owen's eyes begin to drift as he parks along the road.
Cale: "I think it's best for one of us to stay though."
Makoh: "Th-Then who will-"
Owen passes out as he turns off the engine.
Lariat: "I think Cale should stay. Her powers are the best for defense compared to everyone else here."
Cale: "M-Me?!"
Rox: "Relax. If we can get Nyria back here no problem, then you don't have to worry about a thing."
Rox heads outside.
Veld: "Plus, you can wake up Owen if necessary."
The others head outside.
Makoh: "We'll go as fast as we can!"
Makoh closes the door as Ariyae begins to mumble in her sleep.
Ariyae: "(mumbling) ... wake... now..."
Two hours later...
The others have had no luck in locating Nyria.
Rox: "(sighing) Guess Nyria didn't quite make herself a name like the rest of us."
People begin to awkwardly take notice of Veld as they walk by.
Veld: "(embarrassed) This is why I should've stayed behind."
Makoh: "Y-Yeah, you're a famous researcher in the medical field."
They begin to whisper and gawk at him, but one person who's rushing through the crowd pauses all of a sudden, a Sprixie around 5' 5" wearing a pink blouse, a white sweater tied around her waist, light blue jeans rolled two inches above her ankles, brown shoes, white, ankle high socks, studded, diamond earrings, a silver locket, a pink bandana on her head, dark blond, long hair, pale skin, most markings like most Sprixies, except for one on her right forearm, and blue eyes.
Sprixie: "Veld?"
She turns towards the direction of the gossip to find Veld and the others awkwardly strolling through the crowd.
Sprixie: "Plus Rox, Makoh, and Lariat?! Why are they here?!"
She gets a bit closer.
Sprixie: "Veld! Rox! Lariat! Makoh!"
They notice her immediately.
Veld: "N-Nyria?!"
Nyria goes towards them.
Nyria: "I'm running late for work, but you can help me out there and we can talk! Just come to the local hospital and tell the lady up front my name!"
Makoh: "What do you-"
She's already gone.
Lariat: "What is she? A nurse?"
Veld: "(in head) We really did walk down the same path."
Rox heads in her direction.
Rox: "We'd better go!"
Makoh: "Wh-What about Cale and the others?!"
Lariat: "She'll live."
They all head off to follow Nyria.
However...
Cale is currently curled up into a ball on the floor.
Cale: "(out of it) Please hurry..."
