At 4 in the morning Lucina woke up. In the orphanage she always woke up at 4 when people were still sleeping and when it was the crack of dawn. She ran into the forest near her house and left a note in her room for her brother. She knew he would worry and knew by the time she got back he would have been awake and looking for her. As she entered the forest she saw a Maruvian Temple up ahead. As she went inside she saw Señora Maria.

"Señora Maria? What are you doing here?" Lucina asked.

"Oh. I was just thinking here." Señora Maria answered.

"About what? Do you need any help?"

"Well, I need a little help. I lost something a while back."

"Like what?"

"I'm secretly a sorceress. And my wand got locked in the royal treasury. And I heard you have a way of getting things."

"I do. And I'll help. Just...where is the treasury?"

Señora Maria showed her where the treasury was and it had many locks.

"Whoa. This is amazing. But...there are so many locks." Lucina said.

"Maybe this will help." Señora Maria handed Lucina a paperclip.

Lucina straightened the paperclip and picked the locks. She she soon opened the treasury and saw many jewels, gold, and riches.

"Now, where?" Lucina asked.

Señora Maria pointed to a box. Lucina got the bejeweled box and opened it revealing a broken wand.

"It's broken. How..." Lucina was cut off by Señora Maria.

"There's a potion you might be able to make to mend my wand back together."

The two soon went back into the temple and Señora Maria handed her some ingredients.

"Read this." Señora Maria said handing Lucina a piece of paper showing a potion recipe.

"I...I don't...I can't..." Lucina stuttered.

"Try." Señora Maria said in a firm voice.

"Ok." Lucina mumbled and followed the recipe and mixed the ingredients.

She poured the potion on the wand and it looked good as new, "I did it. My first potion."

"You did." Señora Maria said in a different tone. She straightened up and used the wand on herself first.

Lucina squinted and couldn't believe what she was seeing...
