Ophelia shivered, staring at something beating before her eyes. "This is your heart." Baron King Messiah said, holding it in his hands, almost taunting her with the organ. "It looks similar to a human's heart, but not quite." He said with an oddly tender voice. "While it would be nice to kill you here, your friends are coming soon. There's something important for you to do." He put the heart back into her chest and mended it up. "Hm? What do you mean?" Ophelia let out a gasp, glaring, her eyes glowing a dark red in the dim light. "A little lamb told me that Alice was taken, but you'll be able to save her. It would be a shame if my future Oracle's light was stuffed out before she can grow. She won't thrive in a carnival, at any rate."
Lamb? Ophelia knew who the lamb Oracle was, but could it really be? All the reports from the angel scryers told her that Yue Eldriss was long dead now. "But how can Eldriss be alive?" Messiah gave her a particular nod, but it was impossible to read what that nod could have meant. "I was only able to revive her recently, I had to keep her frozen in a state of near death for a long time." As for why she was cooperating with Messiah, well, there was a plethora of reasons. "Just wait here, your dear friends will come for you shortly. I'll have to kill you another time, but you have an important job to do for me." He still had his eyes on getting her, didn't he? "She won't be yours." Messiah almost seemed to be pitying her for a moment. "They're here." A raspy voice echoed out from the darkness, a black and white lamb mask peering through. "You should get hidden, Messiah." Eldriss was cooperating with Messiah. Was she doing it for Zinnia's promised safety and freedom, wherever she was gone to now?
As Messiah and Eldriss vanished from sight, someone tore open the door. "Sister! I found you!" Laertes grabbed her, pulling her through and into his arms. "Are you okay? What happened?" Ophelia shook her head, of course she was fine. While it hurt, they had bigger priorities right now. "Alice was abducted." She said, frowning distinctly. "How could you let her get taken just because I went missing for a little?" Sonata paled, Calciferous raised an eyebrow, and Laertes shook his head. "Alice was? But we just - anyways, let's get you out of here, okay?" They pulled her out of the Eiffel Tower, back towards Amiens.
"So it seems that it's true." Baron Pierce and Ophelia joined their information together. Alice was taken away by slavers, but they sold her before he could get to them and track them down. Thankfully, Ophelia knew where she was. "She's a part of a circus, so we can go kill the sinners that bought her now." Ophie explained, huddled in a blanket, feeling cold. "No doubt they'll be advertising a faerie attraction in order to sell tickets, so it'll be easy." A quick search on the internet took them exactly where they needed. "The Walpurgis Night Festival will be next performing in Japan." Sonata told them, showing them the tickets she bought on her phone. That was going to be an issue, demons were barred entry into Japan. "I know the Light Bearers there." Laertes piped up. "I can get some of us in, but we can't go in a big group."
