Shinki woke up in her dark room. Mima still slept away. Shinki felt like she recovered enough and decided to make more children. Shinki slowly and quietly got out of bed and went into the hall.

"Where are you going, Shinki?" Shinki gave an "Eeek" and turned around relieved that it was only Mima.

"Who did you think it was, there are only four people in this world." Shinki caught on to Mima's mistake.

"Four? It's only me, you, and Yumeko."

"Don't forget Byakuren Hijiri. ~" Mima added.

"Byakuren Hijiri?" Shinki questioned wondering where she got that name from, but her expression changed like she knew who Byakuren was.

"Yes, The Great Sealed Magician, Byakuren Hijiri, is sealed away in a tomb in Hokkai, the corner of Makai."

Shinki thought Mima had a dream or maybe another prank by Mima. She never heard of Hokkai even if it was part of her world, maybe someone else made Hokkai, then again Shinki was in such a hurry to make children she didn't bother to look around her world first.

"Where are you coming up with story, Mima?" Mima chuckled.

"It's not a story, I decided to take a stroll, enjoying your precious world then I sensed the presence of another magician since we can feel one another if nearby. I float up to a dark hole entering the world of Hokkai, wandered in and found the tomb of Byakuren." Shinki wanted to see if Mima was right after all so she had an idea.

"Let's go take a look then Mima, but first let me create some more children." Yumeko came into the hall in her red maid outfit, hearing the commotion.

"Ah, Yumeko, you are just in time for the birth of your sisters."

"How many are you going to make exactly, Shinki-Sama...?"

"When I run out of ideas for children to create." Shinki said sarcastically and snapped her fingers and they went to the Creation Room. Shinki did as before and closed her eyes to concentrate. Mima and Yumeko stayed back against the wall. This time, the circle glowed a blue color so bright, it blinded everyone that they had to shield their eyes, the bright, blue light lit up the whole room. Shinki didn't know what she made that made the circle react like this, but she was about to find out. Soon after the smoke cleared, a ghostly figure about Mima's height hovered above the circle, unlike Mima, she was transparent and more of a silhouette. She was mostly blue and white; it reminded Shinki of snow and rain. She had blue eyes, long, blue hair that went down below her dress, the ends touching the floor. A long, blue dress, it appeared she didn't have legs to begin with, she also had a staff just like Mima's, but instead of a crescant moon, it was just a normal crystal ball. To top it off, she had six, feathery, beautiful, angel wings. The creation looked like as if she was based off Mima herself. The angel spoke in a soft, angel voice that calmly echoed.

"Hello..." Shinki was again, amazed as what she created, she gave a motion to give her a hug, but she remembered that the angel was transparent and retreated the motion. Mima floated in front of her copy.

"Shinki, she looks like she could be my twin ghost. ~" Mima asked Shinki what her name was going to be.

"Her name...will be Sariel, The Angel of Death." Sariel smiled at her full title her goddess had given her. "I am your creator and goddess, Shinki." Sariel nodded and smiled as her mistress motioned her to get out of the circle. They all watched as Shinki closed her eyes and concentrated again, this time the circle didn't light as brightly as before, but this time it was a different color, red.

Red smoke appeared covering the room, as it cleared; a small figure could be seen, the smallest out of everyone in the room. She had a white shirt underneath her black vest, red, devil eyes, blonde hair, a small wand with a white star in her right hand, a short, red skirt that stopped her mid-thighs, devil vampire wings, two large top fangs, and a red star marking on her left cheek; she looked like the little devil indeed. Shinki smiled at another one of her creations and announced her name.

"Your name and title shall be called, Elis, The Innocent Devil. The devil magician gave an evil, sly smile, trying to act like the coolest and slickest one in the room, despite the fact the she was just born. Shinki went to give Elis a hug, but the devil didn't hug back, still trying to act cool. Shinki walked next to Mima and the creations stood in front of them. Shinki was now going to put her plan into action.

"Attention, children, this is your first test, I will give you a mission to find a sealed magician, find a way to unseal her, then bring her back here to join us, is that clear?" Shinki said in her 'motherly' voice. The three creations nodded and Shinki snapped her fingers saying a "Good-Luck" to them as she teleported than at the entrance of Makai.

The three girls pondered on where to look, Shinki gave them no hints at all, Shinki did that purposely just to make the test more difficult. A hologram of Shinki appeared in front of them.

"Hello, children, you already know your objective, but this is also a test to see what your powers are, you should automatically know what they are, Yumeko does, so again, Good-Luck!" The hologram disappeared with the girls confused. Sariel turned to Yumeko.

"What is your power..?" Yumeko turned to Sariel. "Precise sword throwing and combat, I can also teleport short distances, you?" Sariel was just born a couple minutes ago with Elis so she didn't know, but that is half the reason this test was made by Shinki. Elis was the impatient one.

"Cut the chatter! Where do we start looking!" Sariel seemed to be equal with Yumeko in intelligence and calmness, but we have yet to see which tops the other off.

They just scanned and passed by the most viewable places of Makai, starting with the grassy fields. They walked through the grass as they reached the platform of the fields, it was a really large field like the others, but there was nothing blocking their view so they just quick checked them to be sure.

"Nothing here." Elis said, so they flew to the flower fields. Yumeko beat Elis to it.

"Nothing here." Elis gave Yumeko a mean look, like she took her line. Now the frozen fields, Yumeko and Elis wrapped their arms around themselves, shivering in the freezing cold. Sariel looked that them confused.

"What are you two doing?"

"It's fucking cold, Sariel!" Elis shouted.

"The cursing wasn't necessary, Elis. Aren't you cold, Sariel?"

"Cold...? What is cold?" Sariel was lost now.

Yumeko then remembered. "Oh, I forgot, you are a ghost. Ghosts always give off a cold essence around them, so it's normal for them to not know how coldness feels, in addition, ghosts don't even have skin to feel the weather or temperature around them."

"Sariel isn't that cold though..." Elis added. "That may be so, but she can probably control her coldness when around us." Sariel nodded, beginning to understand. "I apologize...I wish I could help..." The three laughed and quickly dashed to the fire fields, Elis and Yumeko didn't dare to touch the surface of the fields, on top of that, eruptions came out from the lava, spewing pillars of fire like a geyser. Elis and Yumeko were sweating a bit while Sariel stayed cold. Again, she was confused.

"Are you two cold again?" Elis did another outburst again.

"No, it's fucking hot as hell!" Yumeko sighed.

"There is no need for cursing, Elis. Sariel, hot is the opposite of cold. Cold is when you feel numb and start to freeze to death. Hot is when you sweat and burn to death, speaking if you are in a fire."

A hologram popped up again of Shinki. "Doing well?" Yumeko explained the progress they made so far.

"Please explain to Sariel what hot and cold are...Shinki-Sama." Shinki laughed and explained everything about hot and cold, Elis and Yumeko were dying from the heat to they kept close to Sariel to even out the heat.

"Smart idea, girls." Shinki said. "If you need anything just call!" Shinki vanished.

"I wonder..." Sariel thought for a moment and blew out freezing wind from her mouth and turned the fire surface into an icy path.

"Smart thinking, Sariel." Yumeko said.

"Can we just get the hell outta here before I die after being born for about twenty minutes!" Elis was the wild and loud type out of them. The girls left to check the villages and inside the homes and found nothing. They were just about to give up when Sariel said "Hey, what is that?" She pointed to a dark hole in the corner of Makai. The girls flew to the hole and read the sign "Hokkai." This made the girls wondered if this was another world that Shinki created, Yumeko heard from before that Shinki didn't create Hokkai, only Makai. Elis, trying to act cool and brave, charged in first while Sariel followed, worried. Yumeko sighed and went in last. It was nearly pitch black in Hokkai.

"I can't see a thing." Sariel complained.

"I got just the thing, sisters!" Elis said as she waved her wand, saying some words. The wand began to glow a shining yellow color, lighting up the way for them, revealing a tomb at the end. Elis rushed to it, followed by Sariel, then Yumeko. Elis gazed at the tomb, Sariel was a bit worried if there was a zombie inside, Yumeko was rather the only one figuring out how to open it, or a clue. She circled around the tomb; the maid couldn't find a clue of some sort. She examined all parts of it carefully, finally catching some small writing on the tomb that said this.

The way to free a magician is to be a magician.

Yumeko saw some ancient magic writing and symbols that only magicians could read, and then it struck an idea in the maid. "Elis, you are a devil magician, correct?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

"Read these words and symbols on the back of this tomb, only magicians can read this language, I presume."

Elis took a look and felt confident. "Hey! I can actually read this and understand it, don't ask me how, but I do!" Yumeko did a facepalm. Sariel sighed. Elis began to wave her wand in circles and chant. She did a horizontal slice motion with her wand from left to right, which caused a star to shoot out of her wand and hit the tomb, breaking it and turning it into little bits of rubble, making them fall into the endless darkness. There, appeared a magician with purple hair on the top fading to gold towards the bottom, she had different colored robes on, knee length boots with laces, and a magical scroll. She opened up her brown eyes and looked at her fellow rescuers.

"Thank you, fellow travelers; I am in your debt for rescuing me." Elis flew in front of her, taking all the credit and spot light.

"It was me that saved ya; these two couldn't have done anything with my devil magician powers!" The monk magician giggled while the two girls behind Elis sighed at the devil's childless behavior.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Byakuren Hijiri. Pleased to meet you all." Yumeko dragged Elis into the line and each of them called out their names.

"Yumeko..." The maid said politely with a bow.

"Sariel..." Sighed the blue angel.

"Elis!" The proud devil yelled out with her wand in the air.

Yumeko explained the mission they were sent on and Byakuren went back with them to the fortress. They flied in Shinki's room, on the top floor through the window. There was a note on her door saying go to the Throne Room. The party closed Shinki's door and walked down the hall, then turned right. They saw the door, which was the only gold door in the fortress. They stopped at the door when Yumeko said.

"Wait a minute... How did we know where this room was, we never had a tour of Pandaemonium." Sariel and Elis wondered that, too, now that Yumeko pointed it out.

"Let's just ask Shinki-Sama..." Sariel answered as she went through the door. Yumeko opened it so they could enter the room normally.

Shinki was on her red throne, there was a long, red carpet leading it her. Mima looked out the window. They four went along the carpet as Yumeko kneeled for Shinki; Sariel just bowed her head since she had no legs. Shinki looked at them smiling, seeing they passed their first test. Elis, being rude but not knowing it, spoke out.

"Oi, Shinki! Explain about us!" Shinki didn't quite understand what Elis was trying to say so Yumeko translated.

"Be more respectful, Elis... Shinki-Sama, what Elis is trying to say is, could you please give us more information about how we knew where this room was when we only been in the Creation Room, minus me..." Shinki giggled at the confusion of her creations.

"When I create a girl, they will automatically know all the rooms of the fortress and the places of Makai, including their powers." Sariel added herself to the conversation.

"Then how come we don't know how to use them and how come we didn't know where to find Miss Byakuren...?"

Shinki giggled again. "I never said you would know how to use them or know your way around Makai, I just said you'll know about the places and your powers." Sariel was about to protest, but admitted defeat and stayed quiet.

"Why haven't you grown your legs yet?" Sariel stuttered since she didn't know how. Shinki called Mima over.
"Mima, could you be a darling and help Sariel get some legs since you both are similar." Mima took Sariel to a different room so they wouldn't be distracted. Shinki looks at the new face.

"Hello, Byakuren Hijiri, was it? It is finally a pleasure to see you again."

"Again…" Yumeko said silently in her head.

Byakuren stepped forward and bowed to Shinki. "Hello, Miss Shinki." She said in a cheerful voice. Shinki got off her throne and stood in front of Byakuren.

"I see my daughters saved you and brought you back unharmed, good." Byakuren smiled.

"Oh, they are your children? Well yes, they unsealed me from my prison and here I am safe and sound. I am greatly thankful of them. Anyway, so these are your children? They are so adorable!" Byakuren walked up to the devil to pinch her left cheek, where the star was. Yumeko went to stand her goddess's side. Elis enjoyed it which brought a shock to Yumeko a bit, but didn't show it.

"Now then, Miss Byakuren. I want you to join us; I would really appreciate it if you do." Shinki smiled softly. Byakuren thought about Shinki's offer. She did feel grateful that she was saved, but she wanted to get back to her friends. It would also be rude for her to refuse; she also did say she was in their debt. Byakuren decided to make a deal.

"I will join you on one condition." Byakuren said nervously, not knowing if Shinki was pleased to hear that. Regardless, she said it with a smile.

"Oh..? What is this "condition" Miss Byakuren?" Mima and Sariel fazed into the room through the walls. Shinki gathered everyone around the monk so they could hear the story.

"Nice legs, Sariel!" Elis joked and laughed. Sariel ignored the joke as they all sat down, save Elis, who laid on her belly. Shinki sat on her throne. Mima didn't bother to listen so she looked out the window again, but she would be able to still hear the story.

"You see, I have friends that are looking for me, they are more like family to me. It's been so long since I have seen them, I barely forgot what they look like, but I will try to give you some description. One is a mouse, named Nazrin. Another is a tiger youkai, named Shou. Ichirin is a buddest, she has most of her face covered. The most interesting one you have to watch out for is Nue; she's a shapeshifter with three red wings that go down and three blue wings that go up." Elis tried to imagine what such a girl would look like, it sounded cool to her anyway, but instead the devil said.

"She sounds like a freak!" Shinki gasped and raised her voice. "Elis! That is a rude thing to say, you haven't even met her yet, now apologize to Miss Byakuren!" Elis gave a groan and apologized to Byakuren, like she was told as her devil wings started to droop like a rotting flower, showing she was a bit sad or embarrassed. Byakuren giggled.

"Oh, it's alright, Nue is...Nue! The last of my group is the most loyal, a ghost named Murasa, she looks like a sailor. Please, if you ever see any of them, tell me...once you find them all, I will join them, but I will come and visit. We could all have fun together." Shinki nodded.

"Alright I agree, we shall look for your family, Miss Byakuren." Byakuren thanked them all for their cooperation and smiled.

Elis started to yawn, Yumeko went to stand by Shinki's throne and await her next orders. Shinki knew it has been a long for them and they must be exhausted for the things they had to go through, even Yumeko had her eyes half closed, fighting to stay away with her head jerking up a bit every time it went down. The goddess giggled quietly so she announced her orders.

"Alright children, get to bed, you deserve a long rest. You may pick a room here or go out and inhabit another place in Makai." Sariel didn't really need sleep, like Mima, they were the same. They didn't need food, water, sleep. Kind of like youkai, but most youkai love sleeping. Elis and Sariel left the room to find somewhere else to make a place their territory. Yumeko was the most loyal to Shinki, always staying by her side unless she was carried out an order to do something else. "You too, Yumeko, go to sleep."

"I am...fine Lady Shinki..." Yumeko kept refusing, trying to improve her loyalty.

Shinki sighed and got up from her chair, grabbing Yumeko's hand. "Come on, you stubborn maid." Shinki led Yumeko to her room, stripping off her maid outfit and heels.

"You're the one that needs the most rest, Yumeko. Get some sleep and recover, for me." Yumeko couldn't refuse any order from her mistress, so she nodded and closed her eyes, breathing softly. Shinki laid next to her, just for Yumeko's safety. Shinki was on her back, staring at the ceiling, with her arms crossed. Yumeko turned and hugged her arm.

"Thank you...Lady Shinki..."

Meanwhile, Elis and Sariel arrived at the ghost village, looking on where to stay, Shinki didn't created residents yet so they were alone. Elis flew on top of the highest building in the village; looking for places until she spotted her place she would soon make her territory. "Later Sariel, I found my spot!"

"Huh...? Elis wai-..!" Sariel tried to call out in her soft voice, but Elis was already out of sight.

Elis arrived and looked at the sign. "The Ruins of Vina cool!" She flew about, scanning her new home, soon enough she found a small cave deep within the ruins. "Ah, this is perfect!" The tiny devil crawled in and curled up against the curved wall as she placed her wand on the other side of the cave. "Just my size." She'd lie on her side, closing her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

"Oh...that Elis, leaving me alone..." Poor Sariel, the most emotional out of the sisters, by herself in an empty village. She decided not to live there, so she searched for a place nobody would think of living at. The angel kept gracefully gliding her wings through the red sky. She came across a collapsed building, trying to look for the name of this place. Scanning around, she finally found it.

"The Fallen...Shrine. That does kind of suit me. I am a sort of a fallen angel. Alright, I will claim this Fallen Shrine as my area." Sariel floated past broken pillars and structures that were nothing but rubble, as she discovered a destroyed shrine, this place isn't called the Fallen Shrine for nothing. The door was peaked open a bit; she pushed it open, causing it to fall down. Sariel sighed as she just stood in the middle of the room and turned to face the open door. All she did was stand there, as if she was waiting for something, with her staff in hand, she just waited. Not going to sleep...

Mima and Byakuren were left alone in the Throne Room. Mima was at the window still, watching Elis and Sariel the whole time. Byakuren was reviewing the spells she had forgotten in her magical scroll.

"Byakuren dear, how long were you sealed for in Hokkai, you never said." Byakuren looked up from the sudden question, only to see the backside of Mima.

"Well, for one thousand years..." Mima turned around, a shockingly surprised.

"What..! That's impossible; Shinki didn't create this world until yesterday!" Byakuren didn't know what to say or how to explain it.

"You didn't know? Me and actually great friends, now that I'm starting to remember everything, she even taught me one of her spellcards, I forgot it though, I'll have to ask her again." Mima couldn't believe this; she was swirled with so much confusion in her head.

"I...don't believe you!" Byakuren closed her scroll and looked out the window Mima was at.

"Alright, I suppose I should tell you about..." Mima looked out the window with Byakuren.

"My past with Shinki..."
