The door was opened about a minute later.

"How?" The woman who answered it ask, her voice extremely unimpressed and promising trouble.

"I know where Squeaker and his mother are living." Hazel answered honestly. Immediately, the demeanor of the elf lightened, seemed less threatening and more... intriqued.

"Where?" She asked. Hazel gave the address without a moments hesitation.

"Azari, I am going to go and investigate this personally. You are welcome to come with, or stay here. Your choice." She stated, looking to the wood elf.

"If not you, I will take Jenkins."

Hazel was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Of course." She stated.

"Lead the way." She added, slipping back into her submissive role far too easily. At no point did she meet his gaze, as was normal.

Hazel was silent for a moment.

"Hello, azari." she greeted after a moment or two.

"And I return with information. About where squeakers and his mother are located."

Rowena nodded.

"I'll do everything I can to help find her, and the pendant." She told him honestly. There was a determination, a conviction, to her voice that he couldn't deny the existence of. She would do literally anything she could do to help.

She followed where the fragment took her, knowing that it would be a good guide. She'd noticed it seemed to be leading her in a direction, so she followed it.

It probably wanted to reconnect with the whole.

She found where she was going easily enough, and just stared at the looming stones around her.

"... wow." She muttered.

"I did not know that this was here." She muttered, looking around. She'd left the scarf back home, as she knew where she was going, that wouldn't go well.

"Wonder if she'll find me..." She muttered.

Rowena was silent for a moment, not entirely sure what to make of that.

"That....." She started.

"That is concerning. I'm going to call my sister. She's good at scrying. Maybe... maybe she can actually find her." She said simply, shaking her head slightly.

Rowena was silent for a moment, not entirely sure what to make of that.

"I... shit." She muttered, her voice stunned.

"Have you asked Hazel?" She asked, curious.

"Maybe she's seen it?"

"Yeah, no problem. AS I said, I wasn't using it." Rowena assured him.

"I'd much rather someone who can actually make use of it has it, if I'm being hnoest." She added after a moment or two.

About a month later, Rowena made her way downstairs and knocked on the door to the apartment. When Ash answered, she had one question for him. However, that question was never asked, after she noticed the concern, the panic, on Ash's face.

"... wait. What's wrong?" She asked.

Hazel nodded.

"Then I shall." She said before turning and heading back to the kitchen, making plans as she went.

... He is still there. That pendant holds his intelligence... She thought as she started to collect all she needed to prepare the meat and get that prepared first.

If I were to take it, maybe, just maybe, his intel would be enough to get us out of there. In theory, maybe it has taken in all that has happened to AJ in the time that he's had the pendant. She thought, smirking ever so slightly.

She knew what she had to do.

The only question now... was when.

Hazel just shrugged.

"It is what it is." Was all she said.

"Anyhow, casserole for dinner tonight, with that... that...." She paused, trying to remember what the meat he'd brought back was.

"Uh... that met you brought back, that I cannot recall waht animal it is from." She added. "Casserole with that and some mash. Yes? no?" She asked.

"I'm game. You have free reign of the kitchen." Rowena commented with a light laugh.

"And you're pretty damn good in there too." She added

"Much better now that I am not being rendered unconscious or a lethal weapon upon being in this house." Hazel answered honestly.

"How is it that you can navigate with that scarf around her head, anyway?" Rowena asked, her voice curious.

"Hm? Oh. I can literally see mana, and it is... basically just as if I am using my physical sight." Hazel answered.

"... natural gift, or something forced upon you?" Rowena asked bluntly.

".... I have noidea." Hazel answered.

"I do not remember my life before Mistress, and I do not have any real recollections from my early time with her, either."

Hazel was silent for a moment, sighing heavily.

"I do not know her status." She admiotted.

"Last I heard... she was, in essence, in solitary confinement." She then said.

"And that was ... if I were to guess, about three years ago?" She asked, knowing that there was no way for Ash to know. She had almost no real perception of time in there though.

"May be longer, due to Jenkin's time manipulation."

"You could still find one." Rowena commented.

"It's not something that is a guarantee or not, but it is possible." She added.

"As far as I am aware from what I was able to read while with Mistress, a familiar is often bestowed upon one who has endured hardships, as a means of helping them cope." Hazel said after a moment or two.

"And with what I have witnessed you enduring, I do believe you are likely to find one at some point." She added.

"Familiars are extremely rare though." Rowena interjected. "So there's not necessarily a way to measure the likelihood here nor there."

"That is very true. However, most cases seem to be people who have endured hardships, and need a support." Hazel countered.

Rowena just laughed.

"I know. You'd think the fact that I feel so deeply into the embrace of the rune would eliminate me from ever being able to head anywhere near a phoenix." She agreed with a nod.

"However.... they can't ban me from being near one, specifically." She added.

"I'm one of the lucky mages. I have a familiar. Said familiar is a phoenix."

"I'm the exception, but yeah. We are legally not allowed to be anywhere near a bird of fire." Rowena confirmed with a nod.

"And why? It's because of the rune. The way that it started was one of our ancestors way back whenever the hell it was, they stole the very life energy from a phoenix." She told him.

"And it wasn't to save someone, or something. It was for their own personal gain." She added with a sign.

"And ... thus is the curse to your mana." Hazel commented.

"Precisely."
