Minerva was at her home. She had been welcomed back into Sabertooth but she had returned as a demon. She was honestly ashamed with herself about it and had the feeling that the others would be afraid of her. Who wouldn't be afraid of a demon? Well there was Mirajane from Fairy Tail but that was different, Mirajane had siblings and they already had love for her. Minerva just never knew what it was like to be loved or accepted. All her life she had been taught nothing but power and being the strongest. She didn't know what to do with herself.

She stood up then gathered whatever money she had left then wrote a letter to Sting. When she was done left out of her home.

Two days later

Sting was in his office and was looking through all of the files that he was working on. As he was working he soon stopped when he saw Yukino coming in.

"Sting, the princess isn't anywhere to be found!"

Sting and Rogue were both in shock then they quickly left with Yukino to go look for Minerva. The first that they had looked was Minerva's home. They went into her home but she wasn't there then Yukino saw a note.

"Sting there's a letter for you."

Sting blinked then looked at letter and read it out loud.

Sting,

I'm sorry that I left without saying anything but I can't keep this mask on forever. I'm leaving and please don't come looking for me, I'm not coming back. I feel that I am nothing to you right now than just some demon who is weak. As for where am I going, I don' know.

Goodbye,

-Minerva

Sting clenched his fist that had the letter in it then he looked at the others that had come with him.

"Even though she asked us not to, I'm going to look for her."

Rogue nodded.

"I'll come with you."

Yukino nodded as well then all three of them left to search for Minerva. They were joined by Rufus and Orga to look for Minerva.

With Minerva

Minerva was beyond far away from Fiore, she was in the land of Stella but she was still trying to get as far as possible as she could. As she went further away from everything she once knew she had only one thought in her head.

'I must get away.'

She kept on walking but she remembered that she would be arriving to the land of Iceberg and she wondered how she was going to get through there. She didn't bring any supplies for that freezing weather but she couldn't turn back so she kept on going.

After about another hour of walking she made it to the snowy mountains of Iceberg. As she walked she was very cold but she didn't stop. She just kept on going. She soon stopped when she saw a warning sign.

WARNING! This mountain has many avalanches!

Minerva just went by the sign. She take the warning but she knew that she was careful at the same time.

"It's not like anyone will come to help me anyway. I made it this far on my own, so why would someone come now?"

She kept on walking through the snow. As she was walking she could feel the snow becoming deeper to the point that just standing in the snow was dangerous. The snow was up to her knees and Minerva was freezing. She tightened her cloak around her as she shivered.

"So...cold..."

Minerva walked on but then she tripped on something then got up.

"What was that?"

She looked behind her to see a frozen body laying there. Not only was the body frozen but it had frozen blood that was all over it. Minerva got back up to her feet then went back to walking through the freezing snow.

"I have...to keep...going..."

It didn't take long for her to hear a crumbling sound. She blinked and looked behind her, back up the mountain only to see a wave of snow coming down towards her. With whatever strength she had left in her she began to use her magic to at least get away. She managed to teleport away but where she appeared was a bad place to be in because the avalanche had picked up in speed.

When Minerva felt the heavy snow hit her freezing body she screamed out in pain. She was tumbled in circles as she felt the snow roll her over and over down the mountain. When it was all over Minerva was under the snow but she wasn't sure by how far and she was unable to move, not even a finger.

'This is it. I'm going to freeze to my death here. No one will even know, or care that I die. For others they might be thankful I won't be around anymore. I don't deserve friend or family.'

With that Minerva passed out from the lack of air.

Above the hard thickened snow there was a young man that was walking. He wore a black hooded cloak and was walking. He then stopped when he spotted something in the snow that was pointing out. He didn't waste time to wonder what it was and began to unbury was was there. To his shock it was a young woman and he picked her up then rushed her to a place that would warm her up.
