Shiva cackled darkly, "Do you know what I do to those that limit my freedom?", he approached Viper, hands apart. "As if he'd plan an attack in the middle of the infirmary...", Aster thought as the two toned man went toward the witch. Viper drew her wand and pointed it straight at Shiva, "Entanglus metallius!", she yelled.

Through their very eyes, Aster and Demitris witnessed Shiva being tied in an array of steel chains. "Nice move, future boss! But why end the fun so early?!", Shiva suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight out of thin air, before reappearing outside of the chained prison Viper had put him in. "You bastard, get back in my room where you belong!", Viper twirled her wand once more and rocks began to form in the entrance of the infirmary.

Aster tried to stand up out of his bed, but his body was too weak from his injuries to get out. "This sucks! I can't believe I can't defend the syndicate against this cretin!", he mumbled. Demitris held him down from the bed, "Aster, get some rest! We can fight this guy when we've recovered.". Viper interrupted them both, "Why the fuck are you two planning something? This guy's mine!".

Viper conjured up vines to capture Shiva once more. But just as expected, he teleported out of them as well. "Give up wizard!", he declared before snapping his fingers. The room then went pitch black, "Shiva, what the hell did you do?", Viper asked in her anger. Shiva simply exalted laughing, "No way am I telling you! You either teach me magic or I kill you and use your dead body as my trophy! I've had this for two bloody weeks!".

"NEVER!!!", yells Viper once again. She could barely see a thing in the extreme dimness of the room, and she certainly couldn't see Shiva. The witch had to go off of sheer luck, she raised her wand in the air and casted a spell. "Birchilallias giaganticus!", A giant bird cage fell from the ceiling of the infirmary, and miraculously it caught Shiva. "You didn't think a little dark would slow me down, did you Shiva?", she taunted. The darkness of the room began to clear, and soon everyone was visible.

"Are you gonna teach me spells now, or am I going to have to go harder on you, witch?", Shiva sternly asked. "I'll only teach you the ways of my coven if you promise never to harm a single member of my department. If you do, you'll be the one to die and I'll be sure to finish you in front of the whole clan!", Viper warned. The two of them shook hands reluctantly before Viper turned to Aster and Demitris.

"Wow, what pent up frustration was there?, pondered Demitris. Viper clenched her fists at the boy, "Nothing pent up at all, Shiva's just the most annoying person I've ever met!", she grumbled. Shiva crossed his arms from within the bird cage, "Am I gonna regret letting you win? I was hoping I'd get something good out of this, you hag!".

Aster shut both of them up by clapping his hands as hard as he could in his condition, "It seems both of you want the same thing, why not accept that? It seems the more I delve into this damn clan, the more unstable you Okumuras really are.". Both Viper and Shiva were speechless, this 15 year old boy had gotten everything spot on, "How did you judge all that from one fight?", said Shiva, trying to hide that he was in awe. "Because all of you are so predictable.", Aster answered.

Viper lifted up the cage with a levitation spell and let Shiva out. "If you're gonna behave yourself in my department, you better not run away. Understand?", Viper exclaimed while glaring at Shiva. "For now.", responded Shiva in a cheeky tone of voice. Demitris sighed as the two of them walked out, removing the rock barrier as they exited the room, "I can't believe I have to deal with that for the next couple days, I'd much rather spend it with Rou.".

"Don't forget I have this for an entire week, you're lucky you only have minor injuries Demitris.", Aster reassured him. Both of them were used to chaos and were glad they'd found something to talk and laugh about together. Maybe Aster could make another friend, one who could help him uncover the Okumura syndicate's forgotten sorcery department, one allied with a coven that was just as if not more powerful than the organisation.
