Chapter 2: Marron!

"So let's see... what new spells can I use in battle?" Marron mused over his spellbook. He couldn't seem to find the perfect spell where he could blast away enemies and still support his allies. After a few hours of searching, he gave up. "This book isn't capable enough to give me the power I need," he said to himself. He put the book back in its shelf and walked out of the library. On his way out, the librarian, Silent Sage Sharon, called out to him.

"Hey Marron," she said softly.

"Uh... hey Sharon..." Marron instantly blushed. Sharon didn't notice, though, because she was stuck to the book she's reading.

"Um, Barron left me something earlier, he said I can have it. Maybe you can have it instead," she placed a large, old, and definitely magical book on the counter. Marron's eyes widened with surprise. He slowly wiped his hands over the dust-laden book, and he could feel the raw arcane power surging within its pages. he took the book from the counter and was not surprised when he found it light as a feather.

"Oh, and one other thing..." Sharon seemed to blush a bit, but he wasn't sure. "Can... can we go to the Royal Ball... together?"

Marron's heart fluttered, and he was too excited to say anything. he just nodded, which Sharon saw through her peripheral vision. She heaved a sigh of relief and took off her eyes from the book for the first time and looked straight at Marron. Her eyes... are breathtaking... Marron thought.


The Little Sage spent the rest of the day looking for a spell that can give Sharon a stunning and beautiful dress for the ball. He found something quite close to it, a spell named corpus transferre alica. Its diagram showed a transfer of clothes from one person to another (or as he understood). He decided to test it on a few people to make sure it works correctly. He closed to giant book.

"Well, time for some testing."


Marron crept slowly to where Akane and Gallatin where talking. Akane was laughing at something Gallatin said. "Alright spell, do your job. Corpus... transferre... alica!" He uttered and pointed at the two. A beam of yellow light emanated from his fingers to Gallatin and Akane.

"Whoa!" Gallatin suddenly said. "I... I feel strange!"

"Why... why is my chest so heavy?" Akane complained. (during the body transfer spell, Gallatin retained his blindfolds, so Akane was blindfolded.)

Gallatin (in Akane's body) touched his chest and screamed when he felt a bulge. he removed his blindfolds. He could see! He could see his own body!

Akane (in Gallatin's body) put her hand to her head and felt spikes. She looked at herself, at the same time that Gallatin did as well. A chorus of screams were heard throughout the castle.

"EEEEK!"

King Alfred came running. "What's happened!?" he looked at Gallatin and Akane. "Wow, Gallatin... I never knew you had azure eyes..."

"What?" Akane (in Gallatin's body) asked. "King, it's me! Akane!"

"Uh, Gallatin? You sick or something?" He placed his hand on his head. At the same time, a boatload of knights came running through the hall, curiosity pricking them. Almost instantly, all the female knights swooned at Gallatin. Elaine and Morgana took one look at him, blushed, then fainted at the same time.

"Alright, everyone stop!" The King commanded. Every movement in the hallway came to a screeching halt. "Akane and Gallatin, what happened here?"

"It was me, Your majesty..." Marron spoke up.

After explaining things, Alfred understood him and forgave him. Even Gallatin and Akane forgave him as well. He undid the spell and the two were back to normal. "Well, everyone, back to work!" Alfred cleared out the mob. Marron and Majesty Lord Blaster was left behind.

"Hey, Marron..." Majesty whispered.

"What? What is it?" He asked.

"Later, Alfred will meet up with the leaders of the United Sanctuary countries. I have a plan..."


A few hours later...

"Welcome. Thank you for coming, Alfred." Ezel greeted.

"Well, he won't come unless I dragged him by the ear..." CEO Amaterasu sternly said.

"Come on, you didn't have to say that out loud." Alfred lowered his head.

Outside the room, Marron and Majesty were waiting. Majesty was eavesdropping on the meeting, waiting for the right chance. After some time, he cutiosly opened the door a crack. "Marron, do your spell and run!"

"Corpus... transferre... alica!"

Immediately the two ran off and hid somewhere.

"AAAAHH!"

"WHAT IS THIS?!"

"EEEEWW!"

"MARROOON!"
