Another morning came, and Nikolai was just about getting ready to search for Ezekiel again. At the same time, Mineah was already doing her best to look as innocent as possible even as she was actively looking for an opportunity to sneak out and see her brother's body. It was still out there, of course, and just the thought of meeting that dragon once again was already making her nervous.
"Are you ready, Mine?" Nikolai asked as they got on their one horse. "It'll be another tiring day of searching."
"I'm ready, Lai," she nodded in determination behind him. "We won't find him unless we search for him, and that won't happen if we wait for my body to recover."
It had been a while since she first had his spirit in her possession once again, and even longer since their last attempt at searching for Ezekiel. The more time they wasted trying to be at their best, the more time they gave Vulcan to fully merge with her brother's body.
