The following day, after returning to the capital of Lotus, Melina and I had to split up since people needed our help in the north, but we also couldn't leave the final relic alone.
I was taking Vespera, Yoru, and Gina with me—we were going to need to be a bit stealthy when moving around the Northern Empire, so I was a bit puzzled about what to do with Athena.
However, the bear didn't want to separate from her cub, and since Apollo was going with Melina's group, I told the mom to go with them and offer her support.
Melina's group had Arashi, Carli, Nessa, Athena, and the cub Apollo, which made me feel pretty relieved as I knew they would protect Melina with all of their strength.
Before we said our goodbyes to the king, I put a bit of a good word for our friend Keiko, saying that our quest wouldn't have been possible without her.
Technically, it was true—she made it much easier for us to look for the relic in her nation.
