"You," preparing to wind up your hands when he stopped.
"That memory, before the cliff. That was true?"

She checked his phone. "Quick, there's something important I need to tell you, before tonight ends. "
"What is it?"
"Just promise that'll you trust me even when you think you shouldn't."
"Sure," willing to crack that tension in her voice.
"Xia's father knows that I've been working as your tutor. My plan has been to use it as an excuse, but they wanted me and the heirs to use it and kill you. The heirs told me they're going to finish you off tonight."
"Hold on, I can't fight all of them at once!"
"I'll fake your death. Someone will come to help you. But tonight's the perfect night," pointing to the astral planes of the constellations. "We're under a source said unleash their light. If Cygnus could awaken his full power, it's possible the trigger can awaken your StellArts."
"I'm not okay with this...but they'll punish you if you can't get the job done, right?"
"Normally I wouldn't risk it, but if you can survive, I can help you find people to prepare for the Mightathlon like Madam. That should give you everything you need to win."
"So you'll erase my memories. Well, a near death to experience power would help in the long run. It would be the ultimate prank. But if I forget - "
"You'll blame me for it. It's okay. As long you're alive, it's worth it."
"If their parents want me dead and they're that stupid to think I'm responsible, I'll surpass them no problem. But if I leave, let me know before you go."
She started to sob. "I know they all have their issues. Their parents got suspicious every time I tried to help them. But if I lay the breadcrumbs, you can beat them and save their hearts."
He dashed to comfort her body, and the two exchanged promises as she said Coma and her hair flew and shaped around his skull.
He wiped off her tears as she began taking his memories of the event.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Thanks for getting me this far."

His head returned to the present, though annoyed he went through the plan.
"You trusted me at the Mightathlon," thanking him with her smile.
"I could've won without your help, ya know."
"True, Cree would've sacrificed himself or countered the ice fast enough, but it wouldn't have worked out, but you get points for your teammates' efforts. Even I couldn't see my past mentee get hurt."
"Did you plan all of this?"
"Not everything. Gave Ainsley enough of an antidote, had that account for years, and a few other things to keep up the facade. But I'm impressed how far you made it. Forgive me?"
"It'll take me sometime considering you pushed me off a cliff!"
"You relieved the memory, that was all them: who else used wind magic to slow your fall and make the crater to fake your death?"
"Illusion magic?"
"They'd feel other sources of magic protecting you! Also, you hooked up with another girl while we were dating!"
"You really considered we were together after making me forget?"
"I never broke up with you!"
"So you didn't hook up with the other heirs, or be upset when half of them are into you?"
