"Well it's about time." Seth muttered when the witch finally kicked the bucket. She also apparently dissolved before he could grab the heart, so unfortunately it looked like Natasha would have to hold onto that favor a little while longer.

A little later, as their vessel made way to leave this world's space, they found themselves under fire. An unknown vessel flying an unknown set of colors was shooting at them from the distance. As luck would have it, they were too far away to fully give chase, but that didn't stop the [i]Ruler of the Sea[/i] from receiving a chilling transmission from their assailant, apparently captained by a woman of some kind. Her voice was bold and lacked any sympathy for those she considered her enemy. She was also straight and to the point. Her face appeared on the monitor, revealing a surprisingly young woman considering she was the captain of her ship. She also looked oddly like someone Tocsax and Seth had seen before but neither of them could place it at the time.

"Enjoy your escape for now, because it won't last now that I've caught [i]his[/i] trail. I hope [i]he's[/i] listening, because as of right now it's officially hunting season... and I never. Lose. My. Catch." end transmission.

Seth's reaction was simple enough. He looked to Tocsax since, well, who else could she have been talking about? Surely she was just another one of Leo's followers... right?
