Ellie dropped on her knees while searching the arena.
She kept looking, expecting to find something, anything, that could indicate that her aunt was still somewhere, that she could come back, that she could still be saved.
But there was nothing.
She aimed her now-crying eyes at Detra and asked her in the faint hopes that she would have an answer.
"Detra... Where... Where is my aunt...?"
Detra did not respond, She just closed her eyes and looked away from Ellie's painful face.
"Detra!! WHERE! IS! MY! AUNT!!!!???" Ellie asked again, this time screaming from the top of her lungs.
"I'm... I'm sorry..." the ice mage replied.
"You're sorry...?" Ellie repeated while rushing to her side and shaking the woman back and forth, "What do you mean you're sorry?? What happened?? Where is my aunt!!?? Where is she!!!??"
