Witches and alchemists did not have a good relationship. They never had. The former worked with the supernatural while the latter worked with science.
Sora saw a black mist coming from a park in the city centre. That only means one thing: trouble. She left her witchery books and plants to go there and she was it going on.
On another part of the city, Jou saw the same mist and he took some objects he could transmute in case of need: a piece of wood, another piece of metal and a rope; before leaving his apartment.
Sora arrived there first and saw that it will be tough. The havoc was caused by three demons, not the most powerful kind but still they were strong enough. Demons were immune to fire so Sora would have to use the opposite: ice. She created an ice spear and run towards them. She took the closest demon by surprise and hurt it but soon the others demons noticed her presence and started to attack her so she created an atmosphere of ice so the demons would be slowed down a bit.
However, the demons attacked at the same time and Sora got hurt but then something strange happened: one of the demons got crushed but a cage of earth.
Jou appeared and Sora knew he was an alchemist and Jou knew that the young woman with an ice spear and chilly aura was a witch.
Sora was fast, she took advantage of the demons being distracted by the newcomer and she three her ice spear to another of the demons impaling the demons to the try behind it. Jou tried to hide his surprise and the fact that he was impressed.
The last demon charged the alchemist and he was taken aback its strength and he could barely stop the demon from hurting him. Sora focused and created an illusion: everything was icy and there were several Soras, all of them with ice daggers. She charged and the demons defended itself, some of the copies disappeared but one of them hurt the demon and almost at the same time Jou used a dagger he has just transmuted from a piece of metal, on the demon and it disappeared on a puff of smoke, the same as the black mist and the ice illusion.
Panting, a bit tired, they looked at each other. Sora started smiling. Jou also smiled.
-We make a good team – Jou pointed out.
-I think we do – Sora approved.
