Nephthys looked to Erinye before looking to Balthazar and bowed to him.
“May Horus watch over you and the rest of your people.” Nephthys said.
Balthazar bowed aswell before the two departed on their separate ways as Nephthys followed Erinye.
As the battlefield was clear of people.
Jacque walked out as he was standing behind a tree this entire time with his hands in his pockets and walked idly to the center, taking out his lollipop and stared at the sunset with a smirk on his face.
“A hell of a beautiful scenery. And the best part has yet to come.” Jacque said.
He turned around and began walking the way he just came as he stumbled upon a burned up pirate’s body, placing his shoe on his eye.
He stepped on the eye, crushing it under his heel, not minding the blood juice as he walked off.

It didn't take Erinye long to find the spot where Nakiri's explosion had been set of.
Psyche's body had been returned exactly where Castor had found it, haphazardly landing amongst a pile of dust.
"..I saw this one get thrown out of a portal earlier. You saw that too, right?" Erinye asked, standing at the edge between the unscarred section of the forest and the remains of the explosion.

"...I mostly focused on the pirates who landed next to us, I'm not sure if this one got sent aswell. I assume this girl was with Cupid and Daphne and fought Balthazar when we were inside and then Nakiri...did that to her." Nephthys sighed, sounding tired of seeing dead bodies for one day.

Erinye walked over to the body. "...It's a bit hard to recognize, if this was her. But it would make sense. Considering..
If this girl was with Cupid and Daphne, then her information could be useful..."
Erinye then blinked, "Wait, we..." She rummaged through her pockets with a panicked expression, which turned relieved when she pulled her transceiver out. She turned it on again.
"Erinye?" Diana's voice came through instantly. "Erinye, you cut out, what happened?"
Erinye let out a disappointed sigh, holding the transceiver to her mouth. "Cyndass escaped with the orb." She said.

"Shit." Izanami could be heard saying.
"And what about the bomber and psycho freak?" Dietz asked.
"Balthazar faced off against Cupid but despite his power...it was a stalemate between them at best so it's clear he is very powerful as you said he is, Theseus. He and Daphne got away but one of his subordinates, a girl, got killed by a explosion made by a fake Nakiri. Gin escaped with Warikomu but he din't look happy, he will clearly want us dead the next time we see him...Cleopatra hesitated from having Cyndass finish us off, she was gonna take the orb and leave till Gin and the pirates tried to take it...I'm sorry, I wish I could of done more." Nephthys sighed, as she got close to Erinye and spoke into the transceiver.

"..It is fine. At least this way, the pirates don't have a lead on us." Theseus's voice came through.

"Now each group has a orb in their hold, it won't be too long till everyone will come together for another clash to steal from each other before we arrive on the next planet. Thankfully, the mechanics have arrived and the ship should be ready to go by the time you two get back here, the queen will handle paying these guys since luckily they're from 11 and the Absalon should be stronger the next time those bastard pirates will try to hit us when we will hit them instead." Hercule added.

"This Cupid guy's really going for it." Bacchus said. "I wouldn't be surprised if he attacked us before we even managed to get to the next planet."
"He most definitely would." Theseus concurred, as Erinye looked down at the girl.
Without saying anything, she passed the Transceiver to Nephthys and walked into the pile of dust, kneeling down in front of it and holding the corpses hand.
A Pink aura trailed down Erinye's hand, and then snaked up the girl's arm, covering her entire body.
There was a flash of pink light, as Psyche's soul appeared, floating above her corpse.
"...Oh." The Spirit paused.
Erinye looked over to Nephthys, "I.. want to ask her some questions." She explained.

Nephthys understood as she held the transceiver close to her mouth.
"We'll join you in a few minutes." Nephthys said as she looked at Erinye.

Erinye looked back to the girl. "..What's your name?" She asked first, a simple enough question.
"..I'm Psyche, Psyche De Milo."
"..That does line up with what we heard from Izanami and Diana.. looks like that guy was telling the truth." Erinye supposed, "..Next question, why were you with Cupid?"
"..He.. gave me a goal, something to look forward to. Returning to the Neonytes, bringing glory back, no more living on the streets or doing small jobs just to make ends meet. When he came into my life, I finally had a opportunity to have a future.. Why wouldn't I be with him?"

"...Did he actually care about you? How did he treat you?" Nephthys asked.

"Don't even try it, bitch." Psyche spat, "I've heard it before, but I know he cared for me. Cupid's nothing like everyone makes him out to be. He held me in his arms in my dying moments, was kind to me every time we spoke, he was like the father I never had-"
Erinye sucked in a sharp breath, as though she had inhaled glass. Her concentration was completely disrupted, and Psyche's connection to Erinye was completely severed. The Pink aura faded, and Psyche's soul was quickly sucked back into her body.
Gripping onto her own wrist, Erinye stared at Psyche's body. "...We're not going to get anything out of her." She spoke, with a ominous tone. "...But..I.. I lost my concentration, Sorry." It quickly returned to normal, she frowned as she turned to look at the Guardian behind her. "..Nephthys, do you mind, uh, doing your thing? I still don't want to leave her here.."

"...Of course." Nephthys said.
She raised her staff and just like with the pirates, she sent Psyche's soul out of her body and began ascending towards the sky.

"..Sorry about that." Erinye said. "That just.. physically hurt to hear."

"That is alright, that man hurt your father. You have every right to be angry with him...I thought that since Balthazar was a guardian, perhaps he could of defeated Cupid and save your father the trouble of hunting him down but...Solomon wasn't wrong he said that Cupid's fate is tied with your father on the next planet we will search." Nephthys frowned.
