Lena

"Lena!" Jesse yelled my name. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Was that Callahan?"

"It was." Jesse surprised me by running up and giving me a hug.

"How many are left?" he asked.

"Well, supposedly around 19," I answered.

"You don't sound so sure."

"Well…once the first one was destroyed I was able to sense the others in this world. But I only caught 17. I know there's one more in limbo but the other one…"

"Perhaps it isn't in this world," Jesse suggested. I nodded.

"Most likely." Our conversation was interrupted by Emily tugging on my sleeve. I turned to her. She pointed to the distance, where a figure approached. Kazarina.

"You have got to be kidding me," Jesse mumbled.

"You all look thrilled to see me," she said. She looked around and noticed the children. "So, you're kidnapping little kids now?"

"Is it really kidnapping if they come willingly?" I asked.

"Yes," she answered flatly.

"Well fine then."

"What do you want?" Jesse asked.

"To know what the hell you two are doing," she answered.

"We're stopping Callahan from killing more kids," I answered.

"It's impossible. Your sister already tried."

"And I've just succeeded. At least once." Kazarina opened her mouth in shock.

"You did what?"

"One of the powers has already been…cleansed of its darkness," Jesse said.

"How?"

"I found the flame."

"But Arsia…she never came back."

"Actually, here she is." I tossed her the prism. "If you figure out how to get her out of there then she will be able to live the rest of her life in peace."

"You aren't able to with magic?" she asked. I shook my head.

"Went I went to get the flame, Arsia was the one guarding it. I had Zenet with me. Arsia tried to fight me using sentimentality, but she couldn't do that with Zenet so…"

"She killed her," Kazarina guessed. I nodded.

"She's entombed at the old cottage. I wouldn't try fetching the body if I were you."

"Good to know," Kazarina said. "I was originally sent here to check out an energy surge. When I return I will report Zenet's death." I nodded.

"Was that energy surge caused when Lena fought Callahan?" Jesse asked.

"Most likely, why?" Kazarina asked. "Try scanning for it between Gundalia and Neathia. Lena was able to sense all the powers but one."

"I'll see what I can do."
