" There is a whole city beneath us. The tunnels in question were recently discovered but are in bad shape. " Tracy said and told of the battle against Bryce.

Artunia listened as to what Alex and the others had done and was impressed. "Wow...I didn't know you could do all that," she said.

" It was quite the battle. Later do you want to hear about our other adventures?" Carly asked.

"Sure," Artunia said with a nod. "Also Tracy, you can tell Daniel what I told you. Just ask him not to tell anyone else without my knowledge please," she added.

" I'll do that I promise. " Tracy said and told Daniel what Artunia had told them earlier.

Daniel listened to Tracey, and was completely surprised. "You're King Arthur?" he asked once it was finished getting a nod from the girl.

" Just treat me like everyone else." Artunia said liking it that the others agreed.

"I believe that can be accomplished your Highness," he said teasingly.

Artie smiled and was glad that everyone accepted her as an equal.Though she wondered how Taylor and the others would accept her.

"I wonder how the others are doing," Yugito asked before Nita came into the kitchen, looking for some water as she brushed some sweat off of her forehead. She and her partner were working on a spell of some sort and were trying to perfect it.

" Ready to head back Salem? I think Deanna was going to call Carly again tonight." Eve said after they had trained.

Salem and Kirito stopped, both breathing heavily from the training session. "Sounds like a plan. I could probably use a shower as well..." He replied with a light chuckle.

"I'll meet up with you later.I promised Dea I would help her with dinner." Eve said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll see you later then," Salem responded with a light grin before heading back to the hotel.

Eve went back to the gym where Deanna was staying at for now and glad that the others would be by later." looking forward to dinner Kirito?" She asked.

"I am, actually." Kirito responded.

" That's good. I hope we hear from Carly tonight." Eve said and shuddered against the cold.

Kirito saw Eve shuddering for a few seconds before opening his inventory and pulling out a warm fur coat. "Here, put this on," he said as he gave the coat to her.

" Thank you Kirito. " Eve said and put on the coat. It had gotten much colder that afternoon and Eve hoped the winds would die down enough for Alex and Carly to arrive back.

"Don't mention it. I can't let you catch a cold after all," he said with a light smirk.

"Don't want a cold." Eve said and was glad to see the gym up ahead.

"I would certainly hope not. How is Carly's mother coping to being a gym leader?" He asked.

" Actually quite well. She said it gives her a chance to make things right again." Eve said and wondered if Deanna would stay and help her mom out.

"I see," Kirito said as he held the door to the gym open for Eve as they entered the warm interior. He had to admit that it was nice to actually be enjoying himself, though he did wonder if Deanna was going to stay here with her mother. He would be sad to see that happen though since it did mean he wouldn't be seeing Sakura as much...

" Spaghetti okay for dinner mom?" Deanna asked when she realized Eve would be here soon. She wanted to spend as much time as she could with her mom still not sure if she wanted to stay.
