Elemental Nin: The Rouge Ten

ROUGE 15: Map

Having been awake way before Penelope did, the rouge and Aiden were in silence, just sitting in the beds for them. All of them were in a state of shock. They couldn't remember but now, now that they're awake from that dream, they remember thousands of memories from when they were still kids. Memories that they never thought,they never remembered,they had even before.

"Incendio Memoria is a spell my father, being a mind master, can do. All I know is that, that spell could erase a person's memory depending on what the caster wants the person to forget. I think my father wanted that we forget each other as childhood friends and possibly forget whatever happened in that forest. The only way for us to remember it again is just seeing our parents again. But the problem lies on if we would ever be able to see them again, and we did, nine years too late because they died. " Aiden explained in a tone full of sadness. The others were with them. The remaining rouges, Aiden's ninja group and, Zephy and the Prince.

"So, you collapsed. Dreamt of the night our parents died and woke up remembering stuffs. " Zephy asked just to clarify. The others present in the dream was nodding.

"Does that mean, Aella is going to remember all those horrid things? Those things she was forced to see at age 10?" Zephy helplessly said, the others just looked at her in sadness. Her sister couldn't be... She just doesn't need to remember it.

After a moment of silence, Aiden and all of the rouges sans Penelope doubled over as they hugged their body close before grunting and the others screaming in pain.

"The curse is acting up again. Its draining us of magical powers from our elemental core. " Alice said through gritted teeth.

"What do we do?" Jacob couldn't help but ask.

"The answer isn't on books. I don't know. " Tremaine answered. The others couldn't do anything except stare in worry at those in pain.

"Come on! Its gonna be fine.. after.. a ...moment. " Hikari said, pain filling her voice. She was right for after several minutes the grunting and screaming became labored breaths.

"We.. we're fine now. "Maxfire stated. The others stood and the others sat properly.

"My body is sore. That was some curse. " Nevaeh said as she closed her eyes for a moment.

Suddenly,two kitsunes, the family familiar came inside and went to lay down on the floor beside Penelope's bed.

"Anyway, the house library was warded by Alie and Fei. We couldn't get in. The only person who can would probably be the one who asked them to ward it. "Zephy said, Alie's head snapped up and stared at her.

"Who warded it then? " Heza asked, she wanted to go to the library so that they can find answers. After a staring contest between Zephy and Alie, she went back to trying to sleep.

"Alie says its Aella. She's finishing something that would help us a whole lot. I didn't get what though. " Zephy answered. The others just nodded in understanding. Albeit some were trying to figure out what it is.

They were silently just talking when Penelope's eyes snapped open.

"Father! " was what they heard before they crowded beside her bed. Everyone, sore body or not came to check on her.

Penelope in her confusion just stared at everyone, she couldn't get the bright green eyes away from the front of her mind.

"Are..you okay? " Zephyrine asked her sister. Penelope moved to sit up. Her body was sore, maybe because of the curse? She didn't know but she nodded answering her sister's question with it.

"I think I overslept. Crazy dream and all that. Well, I guess I better go. I have a puzzle to finish. "Penelope said as she moved to leave.

"Penny, wait. " Alice called for her. Penelope looked at her.
