The Sapphire Thorns that were created were bigger than the first ones. Tomoko shot them on Fiery. Before the Fairy was able to recover, she got pierced again. "RARRRGH!", "It really worked!" Tomoko looked at Raze. "Of course it did." Raze smiled. "All you have to do is to believe in yourself and your comrades. If they are important to you and you want to help them, you can control your magic. That's an easy secret, isn't it?" Tomoko nodded. "Yeah.", "I got it, you guys." Eaden said. She closed her book. "Fierys only weaknesses are Water and Earth, but we don't possess one of those things. But in that book was written that Fiery can't restore her wings as quick as her body. You have to damage her wings, so her agility would be lowered.", "That's good news!" Raze said. "You are an Implore Wizard, aren't you?!" Fiery asked. She freed herself from the Sapphire Thorns by dissolving into flames. She materilized herself at another point. "Yeah. I am." Eaden answered. "And I'm going to bann you!", "For that, you first have to defeat me!" Fiery shouted and send fire blades on Eaden and the others. "Ice Dragon's Scale Shield!" Raze reacted fastly and created an ice shield that looked like it was made of dragon scales. The flame blades crashed against it and the ice melted. "Whew. That was close." Eaden attacked. "Shadow Cutter!" A shadow blade hit Fiery's chest. "Argh!", "Tomoko, now!" Raze shouted. Tomoko nodded. "Gemstone Make- Sapphire Style: Lance!" The sapphire lances stabbed through Fiery's wings. "NOOOO!" She screamed and fell to the ground. Eaden ran straight towards her and rammed her Katana into Fiery's body and nailed her to the ground. "Rar! Let me go!" She screamed and tried to kick Eaden, but Eaden was out of the reach of her legs. Eaden took out a card. "Well then, I'll bann you!" She layed the card on Fiery's forehead. "Bann the monster!" She shouted. Light was surrounding Fiery. She screamed loudly and tried to escape, but she wasn't able to. The card Eaden was holding in her hands absorbed the light until Fiery had disappeared. Eaden turned the card around. "Got you." She showed Raze and Tomoko the picture on the card. It was a picture of Fiery and she seemed to be so silent... "Now, that we have her in our power, we fulfilled our mission. But how are we going to tame the flames?" Raze asked. Eaden started to think. "Maybe Windy can blow them out.", "That's a good idea." Raze said. Eaden nodded and put Fiery's card away. Instead, she took out another one. "I'm calling you, Fairy of the Wind. Lend me your Power, WINDY!" Golden light rose from the card and a fairy materilized in front of Eaden. "Lady Diamond, you called me?" She asked. "Yeah, exactly. Windy, do you think you're able to blow out those flames with a powerful wind?" Eaden demanded. "Well.... Yeah, I think that will work." Then, Windy scrutinized the flames. "Are those...?", "Yeah. It was Fiery." Eaden said with a dark face. Windy nodded. "You banned her, didn't you?", "It had to be done." Eaden said. Windy stared at the flames. "Yeah....." Then she raised her arms. "Wind Cannon." She said. The wind suddenly became powerful and howled louder than before. The flames became weaker and stopped burning. The wind weakened. "Thanks, Windy. You have mine and the villager's gratitude." Eaden layed her hand on her heart. Windy smiled. "I've done it with pleasure, Lady Diamond." Eaden laughed and the card absorbed Windy again. "Can you decide on what way you call a spirit?" Tomoko asked. "When you summoned Wing, I haven't seen any card!", "Well, there are monsters that you can summon without using their card. But when you want to summon them with their full power, you need the card." Eaden explained. "Oh.", "Well, we should go back to the guild. Our job here is done." Raze said. "And? Was it fun, Tomoko?", "Well, at least I learned a lot." She nodded. "That's fine! Well, then, ready to go?", "Definetely!" The three started to walk. When they left the city, the villagers were waiting for them. "You've saved us." an elder man said. "That wasn't a problem, really." Eaden said. "We've done it with pleasure. It's our task to help people.", "We'll keep your guild in mind." the man said. "Dark Rose seems to have strong members." Eaden smiled slightly. "Well... Here are the promised 60.000 jewel." The man handed over an envelope to Eaden. "Eh... I think it would be better you keep the money for yourself to rebuilt the village." The elder man laughed. „Don't be so self- effacing. You saved our village. Thanks to you, we can rebuilt the village. So the money belongs to no one else but you." Eaden nodded. "Well then, thank you." She bowed herself. "We're leaving now. We wish you good luck for rebuilding the village!", "Thank you!" The villagers shouted.
Eaden summoned Wing and they returned to Nohana. When they landed in front of the guild hall, Eaden opened the envelope. "We share the money. Everyone gets 20.000 jewel." She gave everyone their price money. "Good. I'll tell Master Homura everything. Tomoko, are you coming with me?" Eaden asked. "Eh... sure." She nodded. "Good." Eaden smiled and took her hand. Together, they entered the guild hall. It was very silent in there. "What's going on here?" Raze asked. Everyone looked at someone, standing at the bar. "Oh." Raze immidiatly understood, when she saw the person. The guy turned around. "Long time no see, Raze!" He shouted and waved with a bride smile on his face. "I... Ichiro? You're back?", "Are you surprised?" He smiled. Tomoko saw his bright, blue eyes and his fire red hair. But it wasn't the same dark colour Silver had. He had a scar in his face. But he looked quite young. "Who is that?" Tomoko asked. "That's Ichiro. Together with Eaden and Iona, he's one of our S- Class wizards." Raze replied. "What? But he looks so young!" Tomoko said. "He's thirteen. I can understand, why you're surprised. But the reason why he's that strong... lies in his past. He already saw many painful things..." Ichiro went towards them. "Oh? We have a new chick in our guild?" He said. "Yeah. That's Tomoko Kasai. She's twelve.", "Oh, then you're one year younger than me. What a coinfidence. And I thought I was doomed to be the youngest in the guild." He laughed. "So, well! I'm curious, tell me something about you!", "Eh... I use Gemstone Maker Magic, classificated as Lost Magic.", "Lost Magic? Well, that's quite impressive for your age." He pattet on Tomoko's shoulder. "Was your mission successful, Ichiro?" Eaden asked. "What?" He looked at her. "Oh. Yeah, it was successful.", "What kind of mission have you done?" Tomoko asked. "Well... It was a special S- Class- Mission, so it was pretty dangerous. I had to go to.... Eh...", "You're very forgetful, aren't you?!" Eaden shouted. Ichiro stuck out his tongue. "Oh, now I remember. I was outside Fiore at a palace. There was a strange power inside. And something was destroying the landscape around, but no one new what it was. I figured out, that it was a dark matter, ripped of from a child's soul that lived in that palace. It had a high destructive power. That thing nearly killed me." He laughed. "Well, actually, quite fun. And no one believed me that I'm an S- Class wizard."
