Michael sniffed angrily and began to pack up his belongings. DB looked anxiously between Lucia and Michael. Michael began to march off into the distance. DB hesitated behind.
"You should go with him," Lucia said with a sad smile. "I'm sorry I dragged you guys into this."
DB nodded reluctantly and followed after Michael. Lucia and Clover were left standing in the quiet forest grove.
"What will you do, Clover?"Lucia asked.
"I'll go with you," Clover smiled.
They packed the rest of their belongings and continued through the grove. Clover hummed as they walked.
"They haven't got far you know, your friends," Clovered hinted. "We could probably still catch up with them."
"How can you tell?" Lucia answered, glancing towards Clover.
"I can sense their mana," Clover's eyes twinkled. Lucia watched Clover. They skipped cheerfully behind.
"How did you become a mage, Clover? I thought most of the schools had closed."
