Spica stared at Topaz in surprise before shaking it off and nodding. "You will perhaps recall the sensation you had during summoning Arcturus"Spica says. "Ruby the same will be done with you once we finish"Spica adds. Ruby nodded, smiling at him. "Imprinting is a simple process. All we need to do is talk sincerely as we make physical contact and then make said vow permanent with mana"Spica explains. "It requires mutual consent. The ritual will fail if either one of us rejects it"Spica went on glancing down. He came closer and gently grabbed her hand. "No harm will come your way si-I mean..Topaz. I shall simply guide you down the path you wish to go"Spica assures. She looked at him, frowning a little but nodded.

"I, Spica, First Sorcerer of Virgo, offer you my sincerest oath"Spica says. She closed her eyes, shivering a little then opened them, finding two stars swirling around her in a circle. She smiled, touching of the stars, a safe warm feeling washing over her. "HEY!" Her eyes shot open, finding another her behind her. She stared at herself shocked, getting noticing a red star swirling around the other Topaz. "You're me"The other Topaz says stunned. "YOU HAVE TWO STARS!" Topaz flinched in alarm as the other Topaz grabbed her hand. "IS ARCKY ALIVE! IS HE ALIVE WHERE YOU ARE! TELL ME"The other Topaz yelled tears falling down her cheeks. Topaz stared in shock as her other self fell to her knees, sobbing quietly.

"Is Arcky alright...please..."The other Topaz mumbles. "He's fine, he's safe and happy." Topaz reached down, touching her other self, before noticing the signs of hanging from the rope burns on her neck. She grabbed her own neck, looking shocked. "Who are you?!"Topaz yells looking terrified. "I'm you...but me and Arcky died....he died claiming I was innocent....and for that he was hung along side me"The other Topaz says. Topaz stared in shock, until her other self grabbed her arms. "YOU GOTTA PROTECT HIM! DON'T LET IT BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND! HE WILL DIE PROTECTING YOU!" Topaz felt herself being snatched back, hearing one last thing before she opened her eyes. "My death was the last time he was able to turn back time to save you, little me..."

Topaz opened her eyes, finding herself sitting on her knees, blood coating her hand. "What..."Topaz stared. "The imprinting was success but you collapsed and blood came from your mouth"Spica informs kneeling in front of you. "Topaz are you alright"Ruby asks looking genuinely concerned. Topaz slapped her hand away, looking jumpy, her eyes wide in horror. "Topaz, calm down!"Spica orders his eyes wide. "You need rest"Spica insists. "Before you go, Topaz...the principal had a gift for you"Spica says Ruby perking up. He snapped his fingers together, a box appearing. He opened it and held up a necklace. "It's a magic tool of sorts..made of a magic stone from the North Boundary mines"Spica informs.

"A tool like this should help you adjust and control your summoning power"Spica adds. "It seems to have been used by others before, but that shouldn't affect your bond with it"Spica continued on. He placed it round her neck, making sure it was on correctly, surprising her with how gentle he was being, more gentle than usual. "It looks great on you, like it has finally met its rightful owner"Spica smiled narrowing his eyes at the necklace. A small pink shimmer came from the chain, vanishing as quickly as it appeared. He nodded, looking approving. "I'm afraid I'm wasted your rest time. So long Summoner Topaz. May luck be on your side"Spica says. He made a beckon for Ruby to stay, Topaz looking between them.

Topaz walked to her room, looking nervous, then bumped into someone. She looked up, finding Sirius staring down at her. "I don't like how you've been getting buddy buddy with the others"Sirius scowled glaring down at her. "What"Topaz says stunned. "I haven't burned down this school twice for nothing, yet here you are getting buddy buddy with the people who killed you twice in the past no thanks to Ruby"Sirius frowned. "The first time was an accident, even so, I burned this place to the ground...the second time you were unjustly killed beside Arcturus, yet again I burned the school down....now you're back...so this time you better live"Sirius went on. "If you don't, I'm killing Arcturus first"Sirius says lowly, leaning close to her.

She stared at him in shock, stepping backwards. "He convinced me the first two times to stop this from happening, and during the hanging we both casted the spell and came back here to when you first arrived...sorta"Sirius went on. "If you die again, Topaz, I will not hesitate to burn this whole earth down, until someone manages to put an end to me"Sirius promised. He walked past her, but she grabbed his sleeve. "Why"Topaz mutters. "Hm, you really wanna know why I'm acting like this?"Sirius smiled. He turned to her and lifted her head up to look him in the eyes. "Lets just say me and your past selves are on the next level"Sirius smiled. He walked away, leaving her alone in the hallway.

She hurried to her room, her eyes wide as she ran all the way, ignoring how out of breath she felt. She threw the room door open and slammed it shut, before falling to her knees, tears falling down her cheeks. "What's going on..."Topaz mumbles her body trembling. "Do they remember what they've done...Arcturus doesn't or he would've been less surprised when I told him about everything...how does Sirius remember but not the rest of them"Topaz mutters. Her eyes widened, before getting to her feet now realizing something. "Spica, it has something to with Spica! Ruby has been getting closer to Spica!"Topaz gasped her eyes wide. She touched her chest, feeling something wrong. "Spica.."Topaz mutters.

She hurried back out, her eyes widening when she spotted familiar hair. "SPICA!" Spica turned, looking startled. "Don't run!"Spica gasped. She gasped as she tripped, her eyes wide as she fell forward. "NO!"Spica shouts his eyes widening in fear. He caught her, Topaz looking up at him startled. He stared down at her, concern evident on his face. "Are you alright!"Spica demands. She nodded, noticing how gently and protectively he was holding her. A red haired ghostly figure appeared behind Spica, a smile on their face as they watched with a gentle expression. "Is your ankles alright?"Spica asks. "They're fine"Topaz replied. "I told you to rest..."Spica scolds standing her up, looking worried.

He practically shoved her into her room, narrowing his eyes. He snapped his fingers together, her dress turning into a clean white nightgown. "But I'm not ti-"Topaz started quickly. He flicked her forehead, knocking her clean out and gently caught her. He laid her in the bed, silently pulling the blanket up to her shoulders, tucking her in. He stared down at her, then gently patted her head, staring down at her. "I got her, you can leave..."Spica says looking at the ghostly redhead standing at the end of the bed. He looked back down at Topaz, sitting beside her. "She's my half little sister, so I'll keep her safe for now"Spica says quietly. He looked back at the silent figure, narrowing his eyes. "So for now mother, you can go"Spica insists.
