Chapter 55: Night Out IV

"We’re sorry, Athena. We will surely find her," Ewan said, struggling to calm the fire flashing in Athena’s eyes, struggling to become visible to her.

Athena shot him a glance, sharp enough to cut through glass, before turning away. "If you’re going to help me find her in this chaos, then let’s hob with it..."

Sandro nodded, and with a grumpy Zane in tow, they marched off.
