She stopped herself when she looked to the clouds as she was quick to realize, not all of the colors were gone; she saw the unnatural clouds that had formed above them had been a bluish grey color instead. "What in the world?" She said aloud. Yuno couldn't help but have a look of shock as he saw that Prism's eyes weren't of a lavender purple like before.

"It's just like how Feodora described it in her letter." Yuno thought, "But--She's still acting like herself." He soon spoke up, "Prism?"

Prism flinched at his voice as she looked over to him, "Your eyes, they're--" He started to say.

Prism's eyes soon widened in horror when she noticed something within the clouds. "YUNO! IN FRONT OF US!" Prism exclaimed as she pointed forward.

Yuno immediately put himself on alert when he noticed the distress in her voice. That's when they saw a set fireballs coming towards them.. Yuno was quick to move out of the way, as the group was taken back. The fireballs had been seen flying towards Feodora and Karasu as they were both underneath them.

"WATCH OUT!" Fafanar yelled.

Feodora had been quick to get out her grimoire as the pages turned. "Ice Magic: Lion Pride's Wall!" She held out her hand as a barrier of ice formed right in front of her and Karasu as the fire balls had hit the barrier nearly breaking it though neither of them were hit. Both Yuno and Prism couldn't help but sigh with relief.

"Are you all alright?!" Mimosa asked.

"We're not dead!" Feodora said.

"They're coming!" Karasu said as he quickly drew his sword.

They looked to the skies as they saw a set of seven mages emerging from the clouds, as they went towards Yuno, Prism and Fafanar

"Fafanar! Go help Yuno and Feodora!" Klaus said, "The rest of you protect the ship!"

Fafanar said with a salute, "yes sir!" His Grimore glowed before he used "DRAGON MAGIC--ROARING CLAW!" As he flew towards Yuno and Prism as they went to gang up on them both, Fafanar's hand began to form a dragon's head. It let out a roar not as piercing as Prism's shriek though it had knocked two of the mages off of their feet and they both fell in the trees.

"Thanks Faffy!" Prism said with a wave.

Fafanar said with a wink of an eye, "No problem Pri Pri!"

"Can you focus?!" Feodora told him.

Fafanar nearly let out a shriek as he nearly ended up getting knocked out of the sky; he dove down as he found a couple of mages trying to attack him. "Fafa--" Mowryn started to say, before she stopped. The mages soon broke off from and headed back towards Yuno and Prism.

"Jinx Restraining Magic--Yellow Flower Vines!" Karasu shouted. A set of vines soon emerged from his sword as it managed to subdue one of the mages but missed the second one. "HEADS UP YUNO!" Feodora yelled.

"Don't worry." Yuno said before he looked over to Prism, "Hang on tight."

"O-Okay!" Prism said as within a blink her eyes had reverted back to its natural color as she hooked her arms around his waist. Yuno soon conjured up a gust of wind, just as the mage manifested a fireball and tossed it towards them. With but a wave of his hand the fireball managed to break apart in an instant.

"Damn he's good." Karasu said in awe.

"I gotta say--" Feodora said with a smile, "--I missed watching him work."
