"Of course, let's go kick some thieving butt!"
After what Eternia stated, Blanc already knew what was going on in both Eternia's head and heart. She seem troubled yet she conceals her impaled feelings through a competitive and positive expression. Every time Blanc looks at Eternia, she can also feel the hardships or whatever that Eternia's feeling right now because one look at her eyes, Blanc can already look deep into her body. Even so, Blanc and Eternia still needs to focus at the task at hand and try to separate the feelings from the reality for the time being.
After quite some time of travelling through the skies, a small village appeared right in front of them. As they approached it closer, the winds shifted and Blanc felt the bad warning which whispered through her skin by the winds. This gave Blanc a chill which climbed up through her spine. Cheria and Roxy made a safe landing on the land. As they landed, Blanc's body stuttered once again from the chill as she can perceive a dangerous activity in the village.
Cheria, after landing, decided to have a quick scout around the village. So, she approached Blanc and said, "Blanc, I'll scout around town. I'll see ya guys later!". "Is that so? Ok then, just becareful", Blanc said to Cheria as she nodded as a sign of approval for her request. Cheria flapped her picturesque wings and flew off.
Even though the job was quite dangerous, considering the factors, such as the thieves, awaiting for them and cause huge difficulties for Blanc and Eternia yet, they still continued on with the dangerous task. As they looked around the town, it was silent. A tumbleweed rolled around them and not a single sign of a human activity was seen. The winds were calm breezes the quietness of the village echoed.
"Hello?", Blanc shouted loudly to be able to get an attention from a human... if there is. They continued their walk, trying to look for a single human living amongst the village yet their search was a failure.
"........"
As the winds once again passed through them, an echo of a voice was heard from the eastern part of the village. "Eternia, heard that?", Blanc said to Eternia as she heard the voice. The sound was quite understandable yet Blanc, somehow, was able to point the direction of it's source. Blanc, upon hearing it, immediately looked at the direction where the voice was present. There was a small warehouse located there surrounded by large trees. From the looks of it, it is abandoned which could probably be a good place to hide especially for thieves.
Blanc pointed at it with the use of her finger and said to Eternia, "They must be hiding there". She glared the at the warehouse with suspicion in her eyes. 'The winds never lie to me....', She said in her thoughts with a little bit of doubt in herself.
Meanwhile, Cheria was around scouting around the village to be able to get a bit of information which may prove useful. As she was flying, all she could see was nothing but houses surrounded by huge trees. From her observation, it looks like the town has been abandoned. There's not a sign of any humans that can be seen around the village. She's currently very far from Blanc's location so it might take some time for her to return.
"This is a waste of time!", Cheria said to herself. She's starting to give up since there is nothing that can be discovered in this village. After making some small observation around the town, she decided to return back to Blanc yet she was disturbed as a prediction entered her mind. As she closed her eyes, she visualized the things she saw and she was shocked. It was a shard of prediction which was separated from the other parts. So when she opened her eyes, she quickly dashed with "Max Speed!" to return to Blanc. From her eyes, concerned feelings can be seen from her because of what she saw.
"I hope she's okay....."
