Now, without further ado...

"Where's Seraph?" Clarisse asked the guard.

"You guys don't have maps?" the guard asked, confused. "You should talk to the registrar. He will give you a book that has a lot of information about magic and adventuring, as well as many maps."

They thanked the guard and went to go see the registrar, Mr. Lincoln. The registrar explained that the map would magically show them the area that they are in. He gave them each a book and they headed back to Unicorn Way.

They began down the sidewalk when Jake stopped to fight one of the Lost Souls.

"You guys go ahead. I'll be able to fight them on my own." Jake said, not so sure of himself.

Ryan and Clarisse continued down the sidewalk, Clarisse holding up her map in front of them. Seraph was located in the hedge maze at the end of Unicorn Way. As they were walking, they noticed that there were skeletons in pirate outfits and Dark Fairies. There were also decorative cages hanging from light posts. When they made it to the end of Unicorn Way, huge double doors presented themselves in front of the two. Clarisse pushed them open to see an amazing garden surrounded by hedges. Bright fairies flew around above the hedges, giggling. There was a straight path to the middle of the maze where an angel-like creature with a warm smile stood.

"Hello," boomed the angel-like creature as the two made their way to her, "I am Seraph! If you come to help the fairies, welcome!"

"We were wondering what's wrong and what we could do to help." Ryan explained.

Seraph beamed. "Well, I am not exactly sure what is wrong, but you could find out for me. Defeat two Dark Fairies and bring me the remains. My fairies are turning evil and I would like to know why."

Ryan nodded and told her they would be back soon. The fairies giggled as they left. They were confronted by two Dark Fairies immediately after they left the hedge maze. One was larger than the other, and Ryan realized later that it was a Queen Dark Fairy. Clarisse pencil dived towards the ground and transformed into a bright blue snake which then shocked the Dark Fairy. Ryan was so amazed at the transformation that he almost forgot to turn into a Fire Cat. He shot flames out of his mouth at the Queen Dark Fairy and experienced a strange sensation. He felt the heat emitting from his mouth, but his actual mouth felt like it was frozen. The Dark Fairy seemed severely injured from Clarisse's attack, but the Queen Dark Fairy was in better shape.

The fairies both zoomed from their spots and spun around Clarisse and Ryan, dazing them. Then both fairies flew at the speed of light towards their chests. Ryan tried to evade the attack but couldn't in time. Clarisse was too dazed to even attempt and an evade. The fairies knocked the breath out of the two and they fell to the ground. Clarisse was the first to stand up and attack again. This time, the Dark Fairy was shocked and then went limp. As it fell to the ground, it turned to ash. Clarisse put the remains into a pouch in her robes as Ryan attacked again.

The Queen Dark Fairy laughed and evaded Ryan's fire breath and picked him up by the shirt collar. Ryan swatted dumbly at the back of his head as the fairy brought him higher. The fairy would have brought him to a height that would have killed him if Clarisse hadn't grabbed his ankle. The Queen Dark Fairy was forced to let go of Ryan and drop him to the ground. Clarisse then turned into a snake again and shocked the life out of the fairy. Ryan scooped up the Queen's remains, and the two walked back to the hedge maze. They set down the ashes in two different piles.

"Ah, yes, I can tell that you killed a regular Dark Fairy and a Queen Dark Fairy. Good thinking." Seraph smiled warmly.

"Err... Thanks." Ryan said, who hadn't really known that they had killed a Queen Dark Fairy.

Seraph waved her hand over the two piles with her eyes closed and had a concerned expression on her face. "This is bad. I can sense that the goodness was sucked out of these fairies and replaced with evil. I will not send out any of my fairies for fear that they will end up like these two." She said, indicating the ashes.

"We better head back to our dorms." Clarisse said apologetically, realizing how late it was, "We will help all that we can tomorrow."

Seraph thanked them for their work and concern and let them go. Besides, that would give Seraph time to think about how she could fix the mess that they were in. Ryan and Clarisse rushed to find Jake, who had just defeated a Lost Soul. He was relieved to see them.

"It's lucky that I have until Friday to kill ten," Jake explained, "I've only defeated four so far."

Jake told them about his battles and Ryan and Clarisse told Jake about the predicament with the fairies on their way back to their dorms.

They were in Ravenwood when Jake asked,"So... the fairies are just turning bad?"

"Yeah. I wonder why..." Clarisse wondered.

Ryan began thinking about how the fairies turning evil might have a connection to Malistaire...
