Chapter 1-12

Minori
Minori arrives back in Chikyu with news to share with Emperor Kasuke. The news is grave, which leads him to barge into the throne room and inadvertently interrupting a meeting. There, he sees a holographic spell projecting Mizu Hidora in the midst of conversing the upcoming Launch initiative by the Kikono. The Armed Hand swiftly leaves the room to let them continue their meeting

Time passes while he waits patiently at the Palace's door. A majestic woman arrives and moves past him to the throne room. He doesn't recognize her but the way she is dressed and escorted makes her appear greatly important. She overhears her name, Kyokku Nadare, as she is greeted by The Emperor.

The meeting between Kyokku and Kasuke takes no more than thirty minutes. She departs and Kasuke invites Minori in to discuss the results of his mission.

November 11th, 334
Almost two weeks pass. Minori receives another lead which brings him to Southern Soyaze. It is suspected Alcia stayed at a shelter here. Minori speaks with the owner and is told the only person that really knew her was her roomate, Jere. However, she went insane the day Alcia left. Regardless Minori is brought to her. He witnesses first hand how scattered her mind is and hoe dysfunctional she behaves. The walls of her room were torn with scratches and her fingernails have been worn to nubs.

All the girl does is writhe on the ground and repeat "Elwood" over and over again. There is no doubt in his mind Alcia was here. Wherever Elwood is, Alcia trails behind.
