The video had sent chills down Utena's spine when she'd seen Riza lying there, unmoving. She was out the door before Riza had even moved to say she was alive. As she ran down the streets she called to find out what was going on. To her surpise, it hadn't been a mist monster, it had been one of there own. Somehow Naruto had turned into a demon or something, the details were still very fuzzy, and attacked Riza.
What was even more frightening was that Riza didn't argue. Even when the Colonel had died in a werewolf attack, Riza tried to keep Utena away. This time, there was no argument. Just a location. Utena ran harder to the stated place, hoping she won't be too late.
The ruins were...well, the ruins. A constant disarray of stone, earth, and most likely bones. The mist hovered at the edge as she ran forward, looking for Riza. It, for once, seemed to part for her. Almost like it was showing her the way. Or afraid of her. But that's silly, mist can't feel.
Right?
After an eternity, Utena found the blasted site. She watched for Riza but listened for the demon. Do demons make noise? She hoped they did, if to just give her warning. What could she do against the demon, anyway? Can you cut demons? Well, deal with it when it comes.
"Riza," Utena called. A form stirred off to her left. She turned and saw it give a weak wave. It was her.
