"Ghay! Aaravos?!" Akiyu jumps.

I roll my eyes. I thought finding her would be harder. Now I just need her help. 

"How... How are you free?!" Akiyu says.

"It was actually thanks to-" I look at Runaan.

He just looks at me.

"Impossible!" Akiyu says.

"Look, just skip this. I need your help." I say.

"You?!" Akiyu asks.

She shoots a lightning bolt out. I swat it. It hits a seagull. 

"We both know you're not stronger than me." I say.

"I can still try!" Akiyu charges. 

I let out a breath.

"I don't want to fight." I say.

I dodge. Runaan looks at me.

"Are you going to help?" I ask.

"You seem to be doing fine all on your own." He says.

"Frosterias agnus!" Akiyu shoots out an ice ball.

I reach my hand out. I draw a rune of fire. I shoot it forward. The ice shatters like glass.

"Listen my return doesn't matter, what matters is the return of-" I start.

"What could possibly be worse than you?!" Akiyu asks.

"Akerisio." I say.

She stops cold in her tracks. 

"Your... uncle? He's imprisoned!" Akiyu yells.

"Apparently he's rising." I say.

"Please, please help us." Runaan says.

"I know your games Aaravos, but I know your uncle is worse so... follow me." She turns.
