Yuki and I ran to the source of the scream.

'That was Riuna's voice was it?'

'Yes... I've never heard Ruina-tan screamed that loud before... wait, don't tell me...'

I opened the door to Riuna's room. And what I see there was Riuna, back to normal, on the floor covering her eyes with her hands, and a guy with silver hair and eyes looking at Yuki for help.

'Ahh... I knew it... Riuna-tan, it's ok. You can open your eyes now.' Yuki approached Riuna.

I stayed still as they try to calm Riuna down. Who is this guy? Where is Tetsu? Isn't he supposed to guide Riuna to her room? Wait, don't tell me this guy is Tetsu?

'Umm.. I'm sure Eri-chan is confused right now so I'm gonna explain. Yes, this person her is Tetsu-nii. You see, about 10% chance a wolf is born to have the ability to turn into a human on full moon, for short a werewolf. And Tetsu-nii is one of that 10%. And Riuna-tan is actually has trauma with boys. She's fine though, it wore off a long time ago but sometimes this could happen.'

'Pfttt.. I'm pathetic. I'm supposed to be an escort and all time I've been so lame and useless.' Riuna said that while staring to the ground, until... 'Wait! What time is it?' Riuna suddenly got up and looked out to the window.

'Yukibana, Astriae is happening. This could be their best chance to get out of here.' The human Tetsu said with a deep voice.

Yuki shook her head and a long white staff appeared in her hand.

Suddenly the world turned upside down. It kept spinning until Yuki stabbed the floor with her staff, leaving a huge crack. And in front of our eyes, a huge old wooden door with lots of carvings on it, stands.

'Astriae? What's that?' I asked Riuna who was still staring at the sky.

'The new period of magic. Once every 6 months, an Astriae is born anew, and it's when magic is at it's strongest. The sign is the sky. You can barely see it at night, but it's turning magenta and when it almost ends, purple.'

'Now, Riuna-tan Eri-chan, the gate is ready. I hope you have a safe trip! ^^'

After Yuki said that, the door opens and yellow light engulfed us it was too bright so I can't see much, but Yuki and Tetsu's silhouette is disappearing and I feel like I'm being carried by the wind. By the time I'm awake, we're in the middle of a city.
