Chapter Fifteen: Ruby Red

The Town of Mages was the most cultured town that the group had seen yet, with a foreign yet welcoming style of clothing, construction, and society. The people looked like a mix of Wiccan and Arabian, with their clothing being made of colorful, draping cloth and their tools containing everyday magic. Crystals embellished the town, making the sunlight flicker off into the streets. The paths were winding around each other, but they all fit together, creating a perfect puzzle.

Mages where everywhere.

They were crowded around the busy streets, running businesses and buying from the businesses. They navigated the streets on feet or with brooms, leaving a trail of exotic magic behind them. Music that was caused by snake charmers and spell casters rung into the streets. Their symphony created background music for the group as they stepped through the streets.

Uraraka fell in love with the town. Even simple shops and businesses, such as crystal ball readings, caught her eye. All kinds of magicians flowed around her like a river, and she gazed at them all; wizard, druid, even a scrawny little warlock. The pink gem on her staff glowed brightly, fitting into the colors of the magic around her.

It wasn't just Uraraka who felt a connection to the town. The Draconics of the group could feel the energy coursing through their veins, making their own magic trance come to life. Bakugou had never felt like this before. He never let his magic simply live around him, and he never felt the desire to feed off of other's magic like this. It made him feel dizzy, but so, so alive.

Midoriya noticed his dazed movements. "Kacchan... are you ok?"

"... 's feels insane," he mumbled back. "There's energy in every corner of this place. I can sense it..."

Midoriya narrowed down. His physical body couldn't discern the magical force surrounding the town. He wondered what the others felt...

"This place is gorgeous," Todoroki stated, mesmerized by the location. "I don't understand magic, but it's just so beautiful. I hate that I had to leave Snow in the stables..."

"Yeah, but look around you Todoroki!" Uraraka exclaimed. "Hey, I'm going to explore. Are you guys ok with that?" She didn't wait for anyone to answer. Instead, she hopped onto her staff and flew deeper into the town. The group all hurried after her.

The shops weren't selling anything Uraraka saw in other towns. Instead of arrows and bags, they were selling dream catchers and herbs. The clothing that was available wasn't short and easy to wear, but long and silky garments that complimented magic. Even the food was different. Instead of offering large feasts including chicken and hearty meals, restaurants sold small snacks accompanied by mushrooms and herbs.

She flew up to a stand and gazed at the merchandise. There was something that caught her eye: a small charm containing pink jewels. They sparkled in the sunlight, matching the shade of Uraraka's pink gem. They would fit perfectly on her bag.
