M:

Poldara managed to escape out of the trapdoor into the vacant stables. He knew that flying would attract attention so he opened the stable gates and made a run for it into the treeline. Unfortunately, without his cane or Akita to help him, he didn't get very far from the castle before he had to stop and rest, little did he know this would be a big mistake.

Watching him from the trees was Prussia, who happened to be hunting when he saw Poldara run by. He didn't understand how he escaped and how he looked completely uninjured, but he didn't care at the moment, all that mattered was keeping the entity from getting too far away, so he hid behind some dense undergrowth, took up an attack position, and charged.

Back at the estate, MA hasn't left the backyard, he had been waiting there for hours for his amulet to start glowing so he could summon whoever his father was gathering. MC had gotten extremely frustrated that he was standing around doing nothing when they should have been organizing a troop to go rescue Poldara, Mandara had to tell him to back down and made him give Akita a bath as punishment.

"Thunder, I don't think we can afford to wait anymore," Mandara said, walking out to MA.

"But Father said we had to, don't you trust him," MA retorted.

"Of course I do, but think about Poldara, think about how much pain he must be in right now. We just can't wait anymore, if we want to save him we need to leave now."

MA stared at his brother's pleading face, he was right, there was no telling how bad a shape Poldara was in right now, he needed help. With a reluctant sigh, MA turned and started walking back to the estate with Mandara, but stopped when the amulet started to glow at last.

The brothers looked at each other, then MA pressed the center of the sun and moon and said the incantation Mandoria gave him. A few seconds later, a large crystal blue portal started to form a few meters in front of Mandara and MA.

The angelic entity gave himself no time to rest. He practiced spells on a tree and even had the time to make clones of himself. The Identical Twin, a mirror-involved spell, is useful to create a perfect illusion of one's being, which also shares its creator's mind.

After a while, he decided to check up on Cherry. As he was about to cross the doorstep, Hatter saw the teen's trembling silhouette with one foot out the windowsill. The man immediately rushed to catch the child who almost fell outside.

-"You've been seriously injured, you're bed bound for at least a week. If you keep moving around like this, your stomach wound will reopen! Cherry please stop this I beg you!" Hatter half-scolded half-pleaded. That kid needed constant surveillance. "Where is Poland by the way?" He quietly asked himself.

The teen wanted to protest, but Hatter didn't leave her time to.

-"I want you to stay here. No more adventures for today, got it?" He made Cherry face him. "We will bring back Poldara and we will defeat the villains ... I know you want to be part of the operations too, kiddo, but you need to rest and regain strength." Hatter gently cupped the other's cheeks. "I have to go now, behave and don't do anything stupid" he commented.

Cherry simply nodded. Remembering what she wanted to say she pulled the angelic entity who was about to leave once more.

She babbled about the broken mirror dimension where she made the acquaintance of a supposed guardian of the Iraya's Stone and what she had promised the supernatural creature.

-"So Purple Smoke's eye was made out of a gem? You sure?" Hatter questioned.

-"Yes, Definitely, Absolutely!" The fruit-named human child confirmed.
