"Just don't lose your head Reby. I kinda like you," Valerie says with a smirk.

Rix takes one of each elemental rune and places them in her sack. She was more than ready to hunt down her husband's kidnappers and get her man back. Lumbre loads up her own sack with the potions handed to her by Arianna and takes both a fire and an electricity rune from the box.

"Hey Val, how come the elemental effects are only temporary?" asks the Grizzly. Valerie's eyes focus on Lumbre and she replies, "They're not refined. You need a special magic forge to permanently etch the rune into your weapon, but they should still provide you with an edge in battle."

When the airship touches down, the ramp extends and Rix is the first to depart. Despoina and Gretchen share relieved smiles when they see the rest of the party exit the airship.

"How was the flight?" asks Gretchen. "Quite the hellish experience of pondering what I'm going to do to idiots that stole Forjod from me when I get my claws on them!" Rix snarls as she displays her shotgun.

"Good to see that the lot of you have decided to come along!" Despoina calls out to the others. Then her smile grows nervous.

Lumbre jogs up to Despoina and asks, "Hey Des, any word on that help that Mrs. Gahillo was sending?"

Despoina hesitates for a moment, but then she nods, "Indeed they have but..." she turns to Rix, "She won't like who they are."

These words reach Rix's ears and she lunges at Despoina. Her claws grasp the mosquito's shoulders and she asks, "Who? Who are they?"

"Ahhh...Rixadalones, it's so good to see you again! Mother Mythria said that this would be the perfect bonding experience for us!" calls a sweetly familiar voice that causes Rix's already vicious face to distort into one of a pure feral rage. She turns and spots a Raiju in a punkish purple and blue Zipangese style outfit and a Youko wearing a white kimono. "Riza...Ikuna..." Rix growls, desperately holding back the urge to scream out in agony at her two other rivals.
