Zalán woke up at the feeling of something on him, it was quite heavy. He opened his eyes to see Yazni on him sleeping, he slowly moved her off him and sat up.

He took out the book from the messenger bag and opened it.
"Morning Seeker Zalán, hope you're well-rested, there is still a long journey in front of you. The next creature you'll have to find comes from a French family named "Arquette's". Approaching her and talking to her will be quite a challenge so be prepared for anything. She currently is somewhere in the mountains of "Mont Maudit",   best of luck."
The book yet again generated the girl's picture.

Zalán sighed and closed the book, he noticed Yazni was behind him and she was looking at what Zalán was reading.

-Soo..who do we have to find next?

Yazni asked.

-Somebody somewhere in France. 

He stood up and stretched.
-Aren't you hungry?? 

Zalán shook his head, he wasn't really hungry even though normally he would be.

-We should get going, I want to be over this as soon as possible.

Zalán started walking in a random direction, Yazni following behind him.
There was some silence for 3 minutes straight, it felt like forever.

-About last night..what happened?

Zalán looked at Yazni behind him.

Yazni shrugged.
-It happened last month on that exact day... It is very bizarre...

Zalán started to think about what could cause this.

Zalán really buried himself in his own thoughts, not even hearing what Yazni was saying.

-Zalán!! Are you even paying attention to me?!

Yazni shook Zalán still seeing him not answering, finally, he noticed.

-Hm? Did you say something?

Yazni stared at Zalán with an annoying type of face.
-I told you that it might be connected to my boyfriend...when I used to be close to him it would glow...but I wouldn't just go into the middle of nowhere...

-Wait...you said that he is supposedly dead right?...

Yazni nodded.

-Then why is it glowing...if he's dead...what if he's still alive..?

Yazni widened her eyes and started to glace around herself, in an instant she felt watched.
-Alive...? We need to find him, NOW.
