Kireba made it to Oak Town and waited for nightfall. A few hours past before night fell, but once it did, she went to the ally she found Natsu laying the pavement. The blood was still there and it seems like no one came back there. She caught Happy's scent faintly in the air and a salty smell. Not like fish, but the ocean. She recognized that it was the same ocean she started from. She also smelt mountains on the same seaside. She headed west on foot hiding in the shade so not to be seen. She rested during the day and traveled at night, cloak still on, hood up. She got to the sea side in five days and she decided to rest for a day.
"Don't worry Happy," she said to herself, "I'm almost there." She laid in the shade of a tree a little ways off from the beach. She cast a glance at the mountains in the distance. "Just a little…more…" she fell asleep acknowledging the wariness she felt for so long. For the first time since she came back has she truly slept peacefully.
