"What do you mean he's gone?" Isadora asked, her eyes wide.
"Exactly as I said, beautiful." Lime replied, still in his bedclothes and near the outdoor latrine. "He left with the skeletons this afternoon. He's gone to war and is off to help the attractive Vampress with the attack."
"But this is about that!"
"Izzy. Calm down." Came the voice from her shoulder. Lyzara stood and was still looking around. "It's obvious that he isn't here."
"By Zara-"
"No buts." She responded. "We'll just have to sense for him."
"But that could draw-"
"I know what we're risking." Lyzara snapped back. "You make it seem like it wasn't MY idea to hurry back and warn him." She sensed with her magic and felt the man about a day and a half's walk away from the city. "Found him. Come on! There's a hill directly ahead of where he's heading." She then grabbed her longtime friend and quickly teleported to the hill.
