Elements: Secrets Of Mages (Book 7)

You Guys Really Are Mages (Chapter 18)

Hiromi decides to take everyone to the Magic Council building. Since they would be the ones with any sort of information on the case.

Hiro looks around the building, seeing mages run from all sorts of places. He spots a familiar looking mage going into the same room they're headed towards.

"You see someone suspicious?" Red questions.

"No...someone familiar..." Hiro gets on his toes to try and see who it is as they enter the room. He gets his answer by Amy bulldozing past him.

"No way. Are you guys seriously kidding me?" Amy narrows her eyes at the three mages, who nervously look around. "Mom, I'm going to talk to these guys for a bit, you guys find out what's going on. I'll be back."

Those four mages walk by the surprised family. Amy doesn't look happy, from her narrowed eyes and clenched fists, she will punch someone if they get on her nerves.

Hiro could tell Red wants nothing more to stand by Amy's side, but he stays away. And Hiro knows it's because she wouldn't want that. It's why Scott and Quill keep glancing over.

"Okay Brianiz, what happened?" Hiromi looks at the World Leader standing in front of them.

"As far as I know, Owen had an encounter with the kidnapper and Jamil. Fought against a giant and ended up injured and doozy. Was found by General Tiger and brought back," Brianiz summarizes. "But. The Queen of Magic had a run in with the blond mysterious mage. She said that the mage is a living thing shape-shifter and escaped because they morphed into a cell. But as you know, that's extremely costly and painful so they may be out of the game for a while."

"So that organization is involved. Again," Scott muses. "What connection is there with all the villains so far?" Another glance at Amy.

"Other than the fact that we've been facing the ones that the blond dude has been in contact with," Urana crosses her arms. "Nothing else." She glances over at Amy too.

"I really could have just told you that over a call or message, so I'm assuming there's something else you want to do?" Brianiz questions, eyeing Amy in the corner.

"Permission to let me use my resources to find Jamil. Now that we have a general idea of what this kidnapper is like, I can probably find him," Sasha raises her hand.

"You have permission, but I do not like the idea of you going alone Sasha," Brianiz answers. "If someone could go with her..? And obviously stick to the shadows..."

"Rohan and Elder Connor are still down there," Quill points out. "We can just let them know and they'll just stick around."

"Okay, then I'm going to go now. It's morning, but I'm sure it'll work out," Sasha turns on her heel. She's already wearing her ripped, black cloak and pulls the hood over herself as she glances over at Amy.

"Please be careful, we don't want to lose anyone," Brenton calls out after her.

"I have to go now, but feel free to hang around," Brianiz turns around, speaking into her ear piece and walking away.

"Okay kiddos, here's the deal. Scott and Hiro, keep at it with your tech and magic knowledge and honestly don't overwork yourselves. I get it if you can't find anything," Hiromi points to the of them. The two boys nod and run off.

"Quill, if your animal friends have any idea what's going on at the border, could you find out that?" Hiromi asks, pointing to her.

"On it!" Quill dashes off.

"Sasha went to Bad Central and Amy is talking to them," Hiromi nods her head. "You kiddos come with me. I'm gonna train you grandkids today."

"Wow, training," Brenton says with a high level of sarcasm. They all follow Hiromi towards the training dome inside the building.
