"Why are you excited to go to Nymphxie Town?"
"It's my hometown"
"Why did you move here?"
"For my job"
"Ok"
"Scarlet, Blaine. Dinner is ready"

We are now in the house of Scarlet here in Hecromacy Town as we prepare for our next journey.

"So scarlet, how long would you stay traveling with us?"
"Maybe after we got in Nymphxie Town"
"Why it's to short?"
"I have business to do here"
"If we could meet sometime, why won't you travel with us?"
"Sure. I'll try"

After we eat dinner, I took the cleaning the dishes, while Phoebe sweeps the floor to show our thanks to Scarlet for letting us in her house for 2 days. We sleep after that. I can't sleep the whole night I feel that someone is looking at me. I go outside. The town looks beautiful at night. Phoebe came out too.

"Is anything bothering you?"
"I feel something bad will gonna happen"
"I think you should drink some milk"

So I drink some milk then I go back to sleep. I wake up early in the morning to help Scarlet to cook breakfast. I saw her finding something.

"Where is it?"
"Scarlet, what are you finding?"
"The package that I will deliver"
"Where did you put that last night?"
"I just put it in here"
"Let me help you"

We keep searching the whole house but, we found nothing. I think someone stole it from last night. Phoebe woke up seeing Scarlet's sad face.

"Good morning"
"Morning"
"Oh Scarlet, what's the problem?"
"I can't find the package"
"Where did you last place it?"
"On this drawer"
"Let's eat first and after that, lets search again"

After we eat our breakfast, we search the house again. When I was finding stuffs on a cabinet, I got angry. I throw all the stuff in the cabinet when suddenly, an old calendar hit Scarlet

"Hey!"
"So sorry"

She picked up the calendar and she saw something I think the place where the package is now

"Hey guys!"
"What is it?"
"I know where it is now"
"Thank you"
"But we need to go to the Devil's Lake"
"How did you know that it was there?"
"Last year, I wrote every event that will happen in the whole year and actually, yesterday was the time that the dexies steal things from the neighbourhood and they give it to their leader Roxie"
"I'll never gonna forgive them for wasting my precious time. Let's get them"
"For the sake of my job, I'll do this"
"c'mon"

We go to the Devil's lake. The lake is near the cave. It is in a tiny woods called the woods of evil. When we are about to go in the lake, we saw some dexies opening some portal to go instant to some place. I have a feeling that that is the way to their lair. We go back to the city to ask questions to some people know how to open a portal until we bumped to someone.

"So sorry sir"
"It's ok child"
"Uhm. Sir, I'd like to ask you a question?"
"Sure. What it is?"
"Have you been in the Devil's lake?"
"Yes I am"
"Do you know how to open the portal?"
"Yes. Why do you ask that?"
"Can we talk about it on a cafe?"
"Sure"
"Oh I know."
"What Scarlet?"
"Why we don't go to my favourite cafe. Is it ok for you sir?"
"Sure"

We go to Scarlet's favourite café, the Hecromacy's best. It's her favourite because of the coffees' aroma, nice tables and chairs and beautiful decorations. We sit beside the door so we could go out fast

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself to you. I'm Braden. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Blaine"
"I'm Phoebe"
"And I'm Scarlet. Nice to meet you."
"So Braden, can you explain how to open the portal."
"Sure. I'm once their ruler, a witch from this town named Roxie followed and entered the portal. She wants to get my position because she also wants great stuffs from others. She defeated me and she takes my throne as the ruler. The dexies throw me out and never come back again. Don't be afraid I'm not bad anymore"
"Can you use your magic again?"
"Yes, of course"
"Can you bring us there?"
"Sure. My pleasure."
"Thank you!"

So we go back to the lake to open the portal. While we are going back in the lake, I noticed that he was trying to speak to someone using his mind and also I got a bad feeling having him in the group. He opened up the portal and we jumped.

"Roxie, I'm home and I got FOOD for us"
"WHAT?!"

The Dexies grabbed us. They tied us in a magical robe.

"Oh, you got great food for everybody"
"How dare you to trick us like that?"
"Why did you fall in my trap?"
"You've said that you've changed"
"Did I say that? Hahahahahahaha" (evil laugh)

They shoot us Drain-up beam. They are gathering energy for them to look young as well as to boost the power of their magic. Luckily, my one of my hand is not tied up so I try to use Conversion spell to stop their beam

"WHAT?!"
I ordered my dexies to untie us then I commanded them to attack but Roxie blocked the attack. We use a combination of light, ice and fairy beam on them. They sacrificed some of their dexies to block the powerful attack. Phoebe frosts the floor so they can't move. I try get the package but many dexies protects it and the other things they stole. I use light ball so that they spread out. I get the package but Roxie and Braden blocked my way. I try to use some light ball but they destroyed it. They fall. They were hit by Scarlet's fairy blast and Phoebe's ice beam. We escaped. We run in the town and we saw Madame X roaming.

"Madame X!"
"Oh hello there."
"We need your help"
"What is it?"
"Just come with us"

We grabbed Madame X to the lake and we saw the two standing.

"Roxie, Braden"
"Do you know them Madame?"
"Yes, they were my apprentice's way back then"
"Those days were over"

They blast a double destruction beam even a protection spell will gonna break. Madame X use Conversion spell and commanded the dexies to use an absorption spell to get their magic. The fall back to their lair. Madame X goes inside to use Psychic on the thing that the two stole.

"Phoebe. Please Freeze them"
"Okay"
"Scarlet and Blaine. Bring these things at the front of the cave.

We get the all the stuffs with the help of the faixies and place it. I let Scarlet to guard the things. I go back. I saw Madame X closing the portal.

"Madame x. we'll help you to distribute the things"
"No, no. I can handle this. You can go to your journey"
We go back to the front and the things disappeared.
"Sorry the people get their things"
"It's ok at least they got their stuffs"
"Hahahahahahaha"
"Let's rest now"
