The glamour prevented both Talos and Willow to see or hear the fairy. Time seemed to slow down around Serna as the scene in the merchants district changed before her eyes.

In the distance, a parrot squawked from a railing from a nearby shoppe, "A DISTURBER OF THE PEACE! ACK! DISTURBER OF THE PEACE!"

Serna ignored the parrot and concentrated on the fairy, "Are you real? Are you a trick? Or are you just an illusion?"

Time just seemed to stand still for Serna as she saw everyone and everything stop moving. Willow and Talos looked like mannequins frozen in time. The fairy flew around Serna's head and sat on her right shoulder for a few seconds before darting off again, "Oh, I am real. Very real."

"That's good to know," Serna quipped, "I think."

Walking down the street towards the shield maiden, the Bronze Man approached her and the fairy. "Just a moment of your time, child. That is all that I ask. How are you faring in Asylum so far, hmm?"

Again the parrot squawked, "DISTURBER OF THE PEACE! ARCK! A DISTURBER OF THE PEACE SHE IS!"

"I'm doing just fine, sir," Serna replied honestly, "You have a very nice town here."

The Bronze Man held up his hand and the parrot went quiet, "You seem sad as though you miss companions that once traveled with you and your friends. Two of them were close to you and now you wonder where they might be?"

The fairy flew up and around the Bronze Man and Serna excitedly and settled back down on the shield maiden's shoulder again.

"I do miss my sisters, Kana and Lysana," Serna admitted without hesitation, "And I do wonder where they are. But what does that have to do with anything?

Lazheros walked over to a barrel near the parrot on the railing. He sat down so that he was eye to eye with Serna. "Everything, child. The way you act out with sarcasm and defiance. Alyson only wished to know you better and you became defensive and adamant about what you felt was right."

Serna started to get hopeful, "I mean, unless you know where they are. Or where you could find them?"

The Bronze Man closed his eyes and concentrated letting his mind reach out into the ether to find no trace of the wolfen sisters. "I am sorry, child. They are beyond my sight. However, I can tell you that they are still in the Realm. Where I do not know."

A wave of disappointment swept over Serna as she realized that she would not be reunited with her sisters anytime soon.

Right on Que the parrot squawked, "DISTURBER OF--!!"

The Bronze Man turned suddenly, eyes flashed open with a glare so fierce, the parrot soiled itself. "ACKK!"

"No! Don't hurt it!" Serna ran between The Bronze Man and the parrot in an attempt to protect the poor bird, "It's only repeating what it has heard. It's just a parrot. Don't hurt it for being what it is."
