Althea ran up to Arthur, her face filled with urgency. "Arthur! It's bad—really bad!"
Arthur stopped in his tracks. "What happened?"
"The Saintess… she's missing!"
His expression darkened. "What do you mean, missing? Aren't you always with her?"
"I was! But I can't find her anywhere!" Althea's voice wavered.
Arthur's gaze sharpened. "Tell me everything."
Althea took a shaky breath. "After we split up, she and I were heading to register for a club. But midway, Alicia called her. After their call, she told me she had something to do with Alicia and asked me to register on her behalf. I thought nothing of it at the time, but… it's been two hours, Arthur. She hasn't contacted me, and now I can't find either of them."
Arthur's grip tightened on her shoulders. "Alicia's missing too?"
Althea nodded, her anxiety growing.
"How long since you last saw them?"
