The market

[Maero]

Three years pass by mostly uneventfully. Tiff left with her brother and has yet to be heard from again. Lillia still serves her master gratefully as does the now fully matured neko, who has transformed from the cute little angel she once was to a beautiful young woman with long golden hair that reached her feet, crystal blue eyes, and soft alabaster skin. Her wings were now much larger as well and enable her to fly long distances, but she never attempted to escape.

Sarah had been progressing greatly with her training and was becoming a very powerful sorceress under Alex's care. She spent much of her time in her study, researching magic and experimenting with new spells. But Tiff was still missing, always missing.

This day, Alex had felt a powerful pang of guilt and heart ache when he came across her old collar, and now he lay in the garden, Neko wrapping her arms around him from behind as his head lay on her lap. She sang beautifully for him, dressed in a simple white dress, playing with his hair softly as she sang of times past, trying to ease her master's pain. Lillia was not far, walking back with a glass full of lemonaid for Alex.
