    "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!!" Baro shouted as he fired the projectiles towards him. Just as this was done, Liam's feet emitted with blue flames as he flew. He made sure the shots were focused on him as he flew above. Prism and Alistar soon removed themselves from their hiding spot before they stood in front of the crowd of children.

    Prism soon opened her grimoire, before her eye shifted to white, "... Let's get to work."

    She took a deep breath before she uttered the first incantation. Her grimoire glowed a familiar red glow.

Shadows reveal thy form
Let your power aid
Lead the hunger astray
Bring me victory today

    The scythe emerged from the pages as Prism quickly took the handle, thankfully Baro and Neige had still been distracted by Liam as he flew around making it hard for them to hit him out of the sky. Prism looked to her scythe as she realized her hands had been shaking. She took a deep breath.

    "... Aurora..." She soon said, "... I know I'm asking a lot from you, but---I don't want the children to get hurt, or any of them to lose their magic. So please... Give me the strength to set them all free."

    She soon took her scythe before she set it next to her. She soon placed her hand on Alistar's shoulder, "Are you ready?"

    Alistar's ears twitched but he nodded.

    With that, Prism closed her eyes, and concentrated. She began to utter the words... To the Growth Incantation.

Weak to strong
Mend the diamond
Make it whole
Protect the soul

    Prism could feel a sudden surge go through her body as her veins glowed white. Her hair became illuminated with white flames and even the spirits around her shifted into a white color. Alistar soon felt the surge as his body seemed to have glowed; he could help but smile before he held his mirror hand in the air as his hand glowed.

    This however didn't go unnoticed by Baro and Neige.

    "WHAT?!" Baro exclaimed.

    Before either of them could react, Alistar thrusted his hand to the ground as the wave of mana which illuminated around the children. Sachiko and Conor were included as immediately, they all snapped out of it. It had been like they had awoken from a dream as they looked confused and disoriented.

    Prism had a look of relief as the spirits reverted back into their original colors while Prism's silver hair returned. "Thank mana..." She said relieved as she soon collapsed to her knees, when she felt the strength leave her suddenly.

    "Prism-neechan!"

    "Prism!"

    Prism looked over as she noticed Sachiko had been running towards her along with Conor. "Sachiko! Conor!" She exclaimed with relief. She gave her and Conor a big hug as they couldn't help but laugh. "Thank goodness you're okay!" She said, "I'm so glad it worked!"

    "What's going on?" Sachiko said, "What are we doing here?"

    "Where's Ava?" Conor asked, "I was just with her! But it felt like I was sleepwalking."

    The children soon started to gather around Prism and Alistar as they all looked scared and confused.

    "What's going on?"
