"How many rooms are there!", Tidus is getting annoyed. Tidus and Arthur opened each room but most of them are empty and dark. Some has wizards they have to fight.

"Calm down, Tidus", Arthur said.

"How can I possibly calm down? We're at the enemy's lair and we don't even know where Elizabeth-sama is", Tidus said as they run towards their next location.

"Are you really worried about Elizabeth's safety or is there another reason why you're acting this way?", Arthur asked.

"What are you saying? Elizabeth-sama's safety is the top priority. Both of you are nobles and we don't know if she's alright or not. We promised Reina-sama we'll take care of her", Tidus said.

"I promised Reina her safety, not you. Tidus, be honest with me. You're not really worried about Elizabeth. She's just a noble, you don't hold responsibility of her", Arthur said.

Tidus was silent after that.

"I'll ask you again. Why are you worried?", Arthur asked.

"Because......because I don't know where Minora is", Tidus confessed.

"This is the first time the two of you were separated huh? Mostly, you would follow her on her missions that I ask her to do", Arthur said.

"She can't fight alone. She's hesitating", Tidus said.

"Don't worry, she's a tough one", Arthur said. Tidus didn't say anything. "Let's hurry and look for them", Arthur hurried his pace.

"I sure hope you're alright, Minora", Tidus thought.

"Minora!!", Elizabeth shouted with worry.

Minora looked at his hands with fear. It was only an inch closer to her neck.

"What the....", Shinji's movements stopped.

Minora looked at Elizabeth instantly.

"You said unless absolutely necessary right?!", Elizabeth focused her gaze at Shinji. She's using her magic to stop him from completely killing Minora.

"Elizabeth-sama, stop!", Minora shouted out and didn't waste a second more. She leaped away and gestured her hands widely open focusing on Crucis.

"AHHH!!!", Shinji struggled harsher.

"Tch. Just a little more. Come on!", she focused more. Crucis shook the wall and went towards her waiting arms.

"This happened because I hesitated again", Minora thought. As she glared at Shinji, she saw an image of Tidus with his arms crossed in his chest looking at her as if telling her to stand up.

"Minora.....", Elizabeth stuttered.

"It's not over yet", Minora made her stance.

"Why you.....", Shinji glared at Elizabeth. Elizabeth's breathing became heavier.

"Stop using your magic, Elizabeth-sama. I'm alright now"

"But...", Elizabeth saw the look in Minora's eyes. It was darker and it shows how serious she is as she stared at Shinji.

"I've never tried using this magic before but.....", Minora narrowed her eyes. "Darn it! This is not the time to be dawdling!"

"Elizabeth-sama! Let go!", Minora said.
