~Sayuri's P.O.V.~

I sighed in defeat, holding out my palm. I closed my eyes, forming a few iron snowflakes in my palm. I opened my eyes, a sudden breeze striking me. My hair flowed in the strange breeze, the trees swaying violently as the wind increased. I looked at the snowflakes, each of them flickering on and off. These don't feel like the ones from before... They feel.. Powerful. I stared at a tall oak tree behind Tora. The snowflakes quickly slashed through the air, absorbing themselves into the tree. A strange glowing mark appeared on the tree. A magic circle?

Suddenly, chains of Iron Ice shot out from the palms of my hands. They crashed into the tree, dragging my flailing body behind them. I rammed into the tree head first, my vision going black. I blinked my eyes open, my nose meeting Tora's.

"That's some strange magic you have there, kid." She snorted. I turned my head to the side, staring at the iron ice that was pinning me to the tree. "Hold on, I'll get you out." Tora smirked. She held out two fingers, each of them engulfed in a bright orange flame. She sliced into the tree, disabling the magic circle.

"Y'know, there's easier ways to learn and strengthen your magic circles, kiddo." She rolled her eyes. I stood up, brushing the dirt off of my clothes.

"Where are you going?" I called after Tora, who was now walking off into the distance. "Treasure hunting." She declared. "Wait! Don't just leave me here!" I ran after her, quickly catching up to her side. "Phew.." I muttered.

~Tamotsu's P.O.V.~

"Aye! She's not here!" Hana yelled. "Wait-- Come over here! I may have found something!" She called out. I quickly ran over to the cell, examining it carefully. "Over here!" Hana pointed at the stained ground. Wait a minute... I pressed my hand against the stained ground, my hand immediately growing cold. "Sayuri was definitely here." I declared. "Aye!" Hana agreed.

I turned around and looked up, a tall green-haired woman blocking the exit. "Oh, please. I'm not in the mood for more roaches." The woman scoffed. I took a step back. "Ugh. We'll just have to settle it that way, then." She rolled her eyes. I narrowed my eyes at her.

The woman's skin began to turn a disgusting green color. Moth-like wings sprouted from her back, lifting her off of the ground. Four extra arms extended from both of her sides, along with two antennae. Her once red eyes faded into a frightening black color.

"Ugh. Once again, I'm left with exterminating the roaches." The woman said, her voice a lot deeper than it had been before. Her six scaly arms flew up in the air, slashing down onto Hana and I. I flung myself in front of Hana, blocking her from the slash. I winced in pain as blood trickled down my forehead. The woman, or rather creature, snickered and flung herself at me. She dug her claw-like nails into my skull, forcing a scream.

"Please.. Stop.." I screeched weakly. The creature smiled, whipping me into the wall. I cringed as my back slammed into the wall, causing a nasty crack.

Oh, Sayuri. Sayuri, Sayuri, Sayuri. The things I do for you..

I closed my eyes, forming a sword in my hand. The creature charged at me, flailing her scaly arms in the air. I held my sword in front of my body, shielding myself from her slashing. I backed into the corner, struggling to maintain my stance.

"Aye, witch! Don't touch my friend!" Sayuri sprung onto the creature's face, slashing ferociously. I quickly slipped away, taking advantage of the blinded creature. "Hana! Now!" I yelled. Hana zoomed out of the cell, hurrying to catch up to me. She quickly grasped onto the back of my shirt, lifting me into the air. We glided down the hallway of prison cells as fast as lightning.

Suddenly, a giant man stepped in front of us, causing us to crash into him. I cringed, staring at his frightening yellow teeth. He placed his hand on top of my head. I felt an extreme gust of icy wind engulf my body. My vision had gone black.

~Sayuri's P.O.V.~

"Shut up." Tora ordered. "But I have so many questions! Where did you learn your magic? Who was your teacher? Do you have a family? How old are you? Are you an adult? Are you, like, a professional Mage? Are you in a guild? Are you--"  "SHUT UP!" Tora yelled, whipping herself around. She stared at me, her eyes glowing red. I gulped. Tora turned around and we continued walking.

We reached two intertwining streams, one clear and beautiful, the other black and murky. I hopped across the clear stream, landing on a small sliver of land. I stumbled backward, a deep hole right below my feet. I reached back, grabbing ahold of a few rocks in the stream. I stared into the pit, spotting a bright colored object in the mud. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I held my hands in front of my body and leapt into the pit. "Iron Ice Earth!" I yelled, iron ice inching over the mud.

I landed swiftly on the ice and walked over to the bright object. One of Hana's flowers! This means that they were already here! I picked the flower out of the ice, examining it. Definitely hers. I looked around the pit. Nothing. I took a few steps back. I ran as fast as I could, zooming up the side of the ice. I jumped up, landing in the stream.

"Hey! I told you, I'm a fire wizard, not a water wizard!" Tora growled. "I-I know! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I frantically apologized, bowing my head. "Anyways, lets just keep going. The sooner we find your friends, the sooner it'll be quiet around here." She scoffed. "R-Right." I nodded. Tora waved her hand and began to run.

"First step is to get some help. My sister's guild is this way." Tora called out.
