At General Akia's fountain, Rick was waiting for Aivenna with the last library book in his hand.
The city was still on high alert, but things have quieted down a bit. The citizens were going about their daily business like nothing big had happened. Rick did hear a few of the Ovrworlders gossip about what happened at the Mugic Museum and the soldiers in the city became more active, but other than those two things, everything was peaceful.
Rick looked at his scanner to see how much time has passed since he last saw Aivenna.
"Half an hour." he said out-loud. He had went and retrieved the last library book, which only took him five minutes, but now he wished he had taken his time in getting here.
It shouldn't take this long for Aivenna to travel from where he left her to the fountain. He was starting to get worried.
He tried not to think about all the bad reasons for her being late, but with nothing to do other than to wait and think it was very difficult not to think about Aivenna.
The Overworlders might have found out she was involved with the Mugic Museum scandal and had taken her for questioning. If that were the case then he wondered if she was going to confess. She more than likely would. He knew if he were in her place if she was caught then he would tell them everything from beginning to end.
There would be so much more for her to gain by admitting about Nivenna's journal, the museum break-in and his blackmail than for her to lie. But then again, he could think of some very good lies to get her out of that mess, but Aivenna was not him.
Sighing, he tried to keep his mind off of Aivenna by distracting himself by watching the Overworlders.
Aivenna went straight to the fountain after Rick left. She should have been there minutes ago, but then a foot soldier came up to her with a message from Intress.
"She wants you to met with her along with Najarin and Nivenna at Maxxor's castle right away." The soldier told her.
"Did she say why?" Aivenna asked, confused and weird. She couldn't think of any reason for the meeting that would explain why the four of them had to met up at the castle. Unless if it had something to do with the war, but still it was odd it would be only those three and her.
"No, Ma'am." The soldier said.
"Okay then, I'll be there as soon as I can." Aivenna said, dismissing the soldier who then quickly left.
She quickly ran to the fountain. Whatever it was that Intress need her for, Aievnna hoped it wasn't important.
