 Mikasa stopped dancing with Boreau pretty quickly once she saw his blank expression. The Breton sighed and returned to her throne, gazing at the floor.

 "What should I do Boreau?"

 Upon receiving the usual blank stare, Mikasa scowled, entering his mind.

 ''Boreau! Don’t ignore me! I’ve been stagnating here for the past 6 months and it’s time we did something about it! But what? ''

 There was a slight pause and Boreau could feel Mikasa sighing in his mind.



 ''You can speak freely… ''

 Petra on the other hand, said her goodbyes to Levi and slipped out of their room to look for her Argonian again.

 ''Kaizen… ''

 ''Where did you go? ''

 -6 Months Ago…-

 Petra and Lucian had returned to Fort Farragut to see it had been completely ransacked. The Imperials had rushed back after his incident in the City and were looking forward for a rest at their sanctuary, Petra especially.

 “C’mon Lucian!” She said cheerily as they ran down the road, coming across the entrance. “We’re here and we can get you fed if you need it!”

 The Vampire had nodded rapidly, sweating under the stress of the sun.

 Petra heaved open the doors and sprinted inside, eager to see her Argonian again.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Kaizen!” She called happily, with her eyes closed. When he didn’t respond, Petra opened her eyes, the smile fading from her face. “Kaizen?” She whispered, noticing the state of the place. The entire inside had been torn to pieces. Beds were upturned, chairs and tables were destroyed…

<p class="MsoNormal"> And her Black Argonian was nowhere to be found…

<p class="MsoNormal"> “S-s-shit. L-Lucian! W-what happened here?” Petra asked, her panic making her stammer return. “L-Lucian?” Petra asked again, turning back to the entrance to find him…

<p class="MsoNormal"> Gone…

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''N-o…D-don’t leave me... ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> “L-larius!? J-j-‘dharjo? K-k-kaizen!?” Petra took off, frantically searching every room of her home to find them in the same sorry state as the entrance hall. Her breathing grew more panicked the longer she looked and the more she denied the evidence her own eyes were showing her.

<p class="MsoNormal"> My f-f-amily h-h-ave left me…Petra thought, tears welling up in her eyes as she stood on the roof of the fort, the wind blowing her hair back while she looked to the sky. The Redhead clenched her fist, scowling at the barely visible stars.

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''Nn-no! Don’t think like that Petra! Kaizen would never leave you like this! Not after everything you’ve done with him! ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''He wouldn’t… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''He loves you… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Petras thoughts were cut off when a faint stepping noise distracted her. Without thinking, she turned round and pulled out her sword, pointing it to the entrance with a shaky hand.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The footsteps grew louder and the latch opened on the trapdoor that led to the roof. Light spilled out as Levi appeared, looking both very tired and quite haggard.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Hoi, Petra…” He began. “Wh-what’s happened here?”

<p class="MsoNormal"> “I-I-I d-d-on’t know L-Levi!” She shrieked, dropping her sword as she ran to embrace him.

<p class="MsoNormal"> The man gasped, wrapping his arms around Petra while she sobbed into his chest. “Th-they’re all g-g-gone!”

<p class="MsoNormal"> Levi sighed, kissing the top of Petras head as he held her. “Don’t worry…” He soothed. “I’m here. I’ll never leave you…Don’t worry…

<p class="MsoNormal"> We’ll find them….”

<p class="MsoNormal"> -Present Day-

<p class="MsoNormal"> Petra sighed again as she left the Lonely Suitor Lodge. She stopped to lean against the wall by the entrance and exhaled heavily, running her hands down her face as she thought to herself.

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''In the past 6 months, I’ve searched every City in Cyrodiil to find him. Yet I’ve come up empty handed. Anvil, Bravil, Bruma, Chorrol, Cheydinhal, Kvatch, Leyawiin, Skingrad… Every city except for one… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Petra raised her head, looking in the direction of the current blight on the world.

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''Searching this city will take another 6 months on its own… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> The Empires tower could be seen just peeking out over the smog brought on by the countless factories that had sprung up across the world.

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''The Capital of this mess we’re in. I guess I’ve just been putting it off, hoping against all hope that he HAD just left me… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''It’s clear now. If he isn’t there, then I’ve got nowhere else to look… ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''Kaizen. Just hold on. I’m coming. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"> ''To the Imperial City… ''
