Michael and DB arrived at the meeting place later that evening. They saw Luca sitting down by the fountain. Luca didn't respond when they called out.
Lucia's eyes were glazed over. She had ended up sitting there all afternoon staring into the distance. She didn't even realise the evening clouds rolling over the city above her.
"Luca!" Michael called again, this time placing a hand on Luca's shoulder.
Lucia jumped and turned confused.
"Well?" Michael asked. "What did he say?"
Lucia blinked rapidly with a blank stare. Michael glanced at DB with an eyebrow raised.
"No...No, he won't help us," Lucia said finally. She came to her feet. Her focus returned to DB and Michael.
Db was about to interject but Michael shook his head. He inhaled and directed his next question to DB.
"Any luck on your end?" Michael asked.
"The sword saint told me about a wizard who had the power to seal the door. Maybe, he also has the power to open them. Could be a lead?" DB responded.
