Chapter 64: The Maze of No Return (pt.1)

It all started once Vian and Arisa left the main building of the temple. 

"We need to look for your little bird, without it, you aren't as strong as you should be."

Arisa was the one who gave the suggestion. Vian had very limited power without her phoenix, something she realized pretty late, unfortunately. 

"How are we supposed to find him though?"

With a deadpan, Arisa asked back, "You have no way to tell? He is your familiar, at least provide him with a tracking device for those types of situations?"

"Alex ripped them all off. He hated them to the bones, or in his case, to the ashes."

Vian was being sarcastic at the end. She found this amount of 'humor' was needed to make her feel better. After almost dying and being saved by the person she hated the most, Vian was on the edge. 

'I don't want to be here,' but that was nothing of her choice.
