Chapter Twenty

"Ren, what happened?" Tsigili asked as he stood there with the unconscious Arabella in his arms.

"Can you help her?" He asked with tears in his eyes. "I found her on the other side of the river. She wouldn't wake up so I brought her here." He whispered.

"I will see what I can do. Though, I think you may need to speak to Inari." She said knowing that he wouldn't like the idea. To her surprise Ren didn't reject the idea out right. "Come bring her to the tree." She said.

She had hoped that they would get her to the tree in time but she had been worried that they wouldn't make it. Ren laid her down at the foot of the tree. Tsigili nodded. She closed her eyes and placed her hand on Arabella's forehead. She frowned as she searched her mind for some kind of awareness.

"What's wrong?" Ren asked.

"We will need Inari, Hachiman, and Fujin. Go get them now."

"Go get who?" Came a voice. When they turned around Athena stood behind them looking at them curiously.
