Calisto lived in a purple shack and I could smell magic powders all around the room. They smelled like apples and oranges, the latter being only eaten once by me because it was so damn expensive.
"Calisto, I want you to meet my friends!" Murloc pointed a hand toward the three of us.
"Humans are pitiful creatures, they kill and destroy everything for money and power.
"Not these," Zaxl corrected.
"Bah, these humbugs are awful. Get them out of my sight!"
"We killed Ursus!" Jethro shouted.
"Is that so?" Calisto froze.
"Hell yes!" Jethro shouted.
"Do not shout in my shack lest you cause an explosion, some of these powders can explode with a loud enough sound. Say, what is the jar for?" he asked curiously.
"For transporting a demon by the name of Maelfor," Jethro casually said.
"You mean you captured the tormentor?"
"The what now?" I asked.
"Maelfor started torturing people, that is why Yuna kicked him out of the Great Ether.
"How do you know all this?" Zaxl asked.
"Chrono berries allow me to see the past I simply went back to when Maelfor began his atrocities.
"Could we have some?" Jethro pleaded.
"You could die taking them, Many a tale has been told of people going mad and killing themselves to end the suffering."
"Jeez, that is dark!" I exclaimed in horror.
"Indeed, now I feel as if you've come to learn a spell, yes?"
"You would be correct!" I exclaimed softly.
"Very well. Which spell would you like to learn?"
"Hit me with that invisibility thingy. Cal!" Jethro rudely exclaimed.
"Are you sure you could handle such a spell?" he asked warily.
"Yes, now teach me it!" Jethro shouted and some of the powder vials rattled/
"Is he always like this?," Murloc asked.
"Yes," both Zaxl and I said at the same time, laughing at this.
"Shout Invisabilia Tangria four times and you will be invisible.
Jethro shouted invisibilia tangria four times and Calisto cast a spell to stabilize the powders.
"WOAH!" Jethro shouted as he began fading away.
"How long is this supposed to last?" he asked anxiously.
"As long as you can handle the immense power," Calisto explained.
Jethro bumped into something and I heard a hoarse shriek, it was Stell the harpy.
"Were you hiding this whole time?!" I shouted.
"I was scared, I am so so sorry," she whimpered.
"I could have died, Stella!"
"But you didn't..."
"No thanks to you!" TURN THAT DAMN INVISIBILITY OFF NOW!"
"FINE!" Stella shouted equally as loudly and turned it off.
"I'm sorry, Stella, I don't know what came over me, Jethro wept, Even though I could not see him, his tears were visible.
"Don't cry my poor baby, I forgive you.
"This is boring, teach me the frost spell," Jethro begged and made himself visible again.
"Frostus Freezus. Repeat that three times."
Jethro cast the spell at a painting which froze over completely.
"I need to introduce you to the world of Draulter art," Murloc said proudly.
"I don't suppose you guys have a museum or anything?"
"Actually, we do, would you like to visit it?"
"Yes," Zaxl, Arthur, Murloc, and I said at once.
"Very well. Follow me..."
