Elizabeth woke up in her room in the Boar Hat, jumping slightly when she saw Diane staring into the room. "Hey, you awake yet?" Arcadia asked from beside her, causing the girl to yelp as she looked over, sighing when she saw that it was just Arcadia. "Yes, much more now than before. You scared me, Arcadia." she said, putting a hand to her chest. The platinum haired female picked the girl up and nodded to Diane, who held her hand out to catch the two as Arcadia jumped out the window before closing it. Diane then carried the two to where the doctor...Dana, as Elizabeth recalled, was hosting a dinner for their little group. There was Sand Crawler meat that had been cooked in rosemary and lightly salted, and some grilled Dusk Bison served with a teriyaki glaze that Arcadia thought was to die for. Arcadia smiled over at Sennet as she ate, before the daughter of the doctor spoke. "So, are you also a Holy Knight, miss?" she asked politely, causing the woman to nearly choke on the food she was eating. "That depends, who's asking?" she questioned after she stopped coughing. "Just wondering. You have the physique of a Holy Knight from the higher ranks, so I assumed, that's all." she said, smiling as Arcadia nodded. "Damn, I was hoping no one other than Mel and the others here in our little group would notice." she said, looking to the side annoyedly. Her attention then was diverted to the sky as shooting stars streaked the heavens in the forms of crosses. Arcadia smiled as the doctor recited the poem that the lady had heard since childhood.

When shooting stars streak the heavens in the form of crosses,

Britania will face her darkest and most desperate hour.

Arcadia thought back to that night ten years ago, when Merlin had spoken to her. She had trusted the mage to keep her power safe, but she was beginning to get worried. She decided to ask the ravenette the next time she got the chance, and hoped for the best of the future to come. Arcadia stared at her ale mug, before taking a long swig of the ale inside, relishing the taste of Dalmally's ale. She then remembered what Gilthunder had said about the whereabouts of the Grizzly Sin, King. "So, next stop is the Necropolis, huh? This ought to be the homecoming of a lifetime. See you soon, old friends." she said quietly to herself. A sad smile crossed her face, before she looked back up at the heavens. I will save you, Hendrickson. She thought to herself, watching the shooting stars, knowing that somewhere distant from where she was, the man she loved was likely doing the same.
