Musa wept uncontrollably as the letter fluttered onto the floor. Layla picked it up and began to read...
My dearest Musa
I hate myself for doing this but I have to leave. When we shared our first kiss, I vowed to myself to love you and protect you as much as I could - but I have failed you. You were almost kïlled today because I was unable to control my powers and I'm afraid it could happen again, so it is best that I go where I cannot hurt you or anyone else.
I hope you understand that what I am doing is for the best, not just for me but for everyone. Please do not try to stop me - maybe someday I shall return.
You will always have a special place in my heart, and I will always cherish the time we have spent together.
Loving you forever,
Tegryn
A shocked silence filled the room.
"Oh my. Why on earth would he think HE was to blame for all that?"
"Livi, when did he give you this message?" asked Tecna.
"Oh, it was... ooh... fifteen minutes ago? He looked like he was just leaving for somewhere."
"Good, then we still have time to find him. Musa, you stay here and rest, we'll go and..."
Too late. Musa was already running through of the door and into the pouring rain outside. The girls started to heading out on the main route away from Alfea when Musa stopped. "No... no, he didn't go this way. Lets go that way, I'm sure we'll find him there!"
"How do you know?"
"I dunno, I just... feel as though he's gone this way."
They followed her, and sure enough they soon came across a lone figure trudging into the night, his head hung low.
Musa ran on ahead. "Teggy, wait! Please wait!"
