Dream Fuel Spirit

Sunday 29 July 2007, Sydney, Australia

"The week in Japan with Croix was fun, but all the times I talked to my mum on the phone were strange, they were always inside the hotel, and Croix was never talking, strangely she didn't call us, there were even times when it seemed like she did, but it was always when Croix left, which gave me my suspicions, I was distracted from these things by the days I spent with my girlfriend walking around Tokyo and the surrounding area, I was able to see a lot of nice places, take photos, get really excited, until I went to Sydney, where the presentation was going to take place where I was going to find out what Croix had been hiding, which ended up leaving me very devastated, to this day I get real, so much has happened because of all that."

The performance is over, I feel so happy, it's been another successful one, it's good that I can finally change now and put on a coat, Croix wasn't kidding when he said it was winter here, even more so at night, it seems to get horrendously cold, it's good that I can finally stop performing and put on some warmer clothes, after that infernal heat in Japan comes this little chill.
Returning to the dressing room, I wrap myself in an overcoat and see my girlfriend arriving with her back to me, which I'm sure she'll do to congratulate me on the work I've been doing.

"Well done Chariot, another successful performance love, soon we'll complete the world tour, you've simply become a fever thanks to this" I'm even happy.

"Thanks also for your help, Dream Fuel Spirit has also been a good aid for my concerts, I wonder what all that magic is around the stage and the audience, it's simply magical and beautiful, it even seems like magic, its effects have become more and more marvellous" I'll try to get something out of it to see if she talks about it.

"Oh it's because it's magic, the Dream Fuel Spirit is taking the magic of these people and filling itself with it, it's our special reserve of magic in case the seventh word doesn't work, as you always say, no secrets" I'm a bit shocked.

"What do you mean by taking people's magic, I remember you said something about magic reserves, but what about taking magic, what do you mean by that?" I even turn to her, who keeps spreading her arms.

"Simple, magic is in decline and is seen as old-fashioned, how many of these people do you think will genuinely become witches? How many of them really are witches, these children will grow up and forget about it, it's a necessary evil for the best of witches and our future, with this magic we can together break the seal of Gran Triskellion and wish the best for the world, thinks Chariot!" I start to cry, it can't be that I heard that, she's stealing the magic and I'm being an accessory in the middle of it.

"Wait a minute... Are you telling me that all this time you've been using me for this plan? That's not your thing to do Croix, Daryl made you do it, didn't she?" She crosses her arms and nods.

"No, it's none of her business, she wouldn't think of such a brilliant plan, think with me Chariot, do you really think that these children will continue to be witches? They're almost all mundane, almost all of them will be normal adults with no magical ability, that's what I did, a sacrifice for the greater good, do you really think it's not worth it, we'll have enough magic to be able to... We'll have power, these children don't have to be without magic forever, if it keeps coming, I'll use the power of Gran Triskellion, I'll change it into an ideal world for witches and it'll seem like all this never happened, the children won't need magic for now" I cry and even push my girlfriend.

"No! I won't do it anymore Croix! That's not fair!" I shout at her, but she pushes me back.

"Oh great, now you're going to start crying about something you helped to happen, you wanted to accept being part of it, you knew it was a device that stored magic, now know the consequences of your actions, that's what you get for it, don't come and moan now about the mistake you made" She simply turned round and I stood there crying.
