'Haa! Take that!'

'Missed! Take this!'

The man stopped suddenly.

'Ooh, did I get a direct hit?' Jaspara asked comically.

The man chuckled quietly.

'Yes, Ja.. Jynx. But-'

'Hm? Why did you call me Jynx?' Jaspara looked confused

'Rasche decided that it should be your nickname. Why, don't you like it?'

'No, I love it! It's fantastic!'

Suddenly, a knight ran over to the man. His face was a picture of alarm and worry.

'Sir Steven! Th-there's someone coming this way! She's not alone though! Sh-she's flanked by Beast Fiends!' the knight stuttered rapidly, running out of breath as he said it.

Rasche ran in from outside rapidly.

'Is it your mother, Jynx? Is she coming for you?' he asked anxiously, grabbing a Sibat spear from in the holder near the door.

Jaspara closed her eyes and sighed, 'Yes.'

'Well well, we've finally found you, Jaspara,' the woman cackled, appearing swiftly with the Fiends. She obviously teleported them right there, 'Oh, and Sir Steven, your defence forces are shit.'

Jaspara coughed roughly.

'No bad language, Marcie,' she joked.

Marcie flew at Jaspara, muttering a magic spell. A ball of fire flew in Jaspara's direction. Rasche looked very serious as he spun the Sibat rapidly in front of him and jumped in front of Jaspara simultaneously. The fire died just before it reached them.

'Why do you protect her, kid? You'll get killed,' Marcie asked sternly, 'She's a metamorph.'

'I don't care! She's worth more to me than anything! She's like a mother to me!' Rasche yelled, obviously enraged by Marcie.

Marcie muttered a new spell and hit Rasche on the head with two fingers. The force blew him backwards and knocked him out. Marcie then quickly hit Jaspara on the back of the neck with her oakwood wand and teleported away with the paralyzed metamorph.

'Ugh… where am I?' Rasche asked, 'More to the point, what am I doing with a spear in my hand?'

'I see,' Steven thought, 'He remembers nothing about her.'

'Dad?' Rasche questioned Steven, 'I have a problem. I remember something but I can't remember what, if you know what I mean. Do you know what that might be?'

'No, Rasche,' Steven lied, remembering the tale Jaspara told, 'I don't know.'

'Right then, Marcie. Shall I cast the Gorgon spell?' Bharva asked.

'Yes. But just wait until I've removed the Regulus from her scabbard,' Marcie replied, struggling to remove the large broadsword from the scabbard on Jaspara's back, 'Gah! I can't get it out! Oh, just forget it. Just cast it now. I have the greater power, after all.'

Bharva cast the spell with a few quiet chants. To be honest, he was very proud of himself. The church tower was the perfect place to put her. Nobody would see her and if they did, they wouldn't admit it.
