The next day.
At the entrance of the Alchemy Union was Elder Anna with Nit by her side. She sighed before she looked up at the sky. The sun was hiding behind a large white cloud and the chilling wind whispered against her skin.
"Where are they?" asked Anna as she furrowed her brows.
"He was never the punctual type," a cold bassless voice was heard.
Anna turned before her eyes widened. Her goosebumps rose as the cold crept up her spine to her nape the moment her brain realized who it was.
Ivy was looking her mother straight in the eyes, but her brave look was belied by the race of her heart. The person in front of her was the one that gave her warmth when she was but a mere crawling baby.
"Sorry we're late," Mavis came with Lyon by his side, and behind them, both were the latter's group.
Anna regained her senses before she turned her glance and answered Mavis with a smile, "It's alright young master Mavis, we didn't wait that long."
