Chapter 4

Meeting the Enchantress of Love and the Enchanter of Water

May finished her dinner and went to the headmistress' office. Her first thought Oh, wait, I don't even know where her room is! She stressed out. She went to ask Iota.

"Iota, where is the Headmistress' room?" May asked

"Oh, her room is on the top floor. It shouldn't be hard to find after that as her room is the only room on the top floor." Iota answered.

May went to the emerald green vacuum pipe which is a magical pipe that takes you to it's destination by reading your mind. Go to only the green lighted ones. May heard that if you step in the red lighted ones, you are most likely to end up in the hospital, as in you will collide with the person in the tube that is still using it.

Oh well, there's one now! May thought and the pipe shot her up to the top floor. The light of her tube turned from green to red.

May arrived at the headmistress' room and the door was opened a little. An eye was on the door observing her with interest. She heard two people talking.

"Well Colette, you have your ways of prophecies." says a young man's voice from inside.

Colette? Is that the headmistress' name? May thought

"Of course, what do you expect, Enchanter of Water? You have already recognized Matthew here, a hero of magic! You somewhat know prophecies here, don't you." Colette asked. The headmistress' voice sounded very normal, a voice you are able to stand everyday. Her voice sounds as if she could sing anything. On top of that, her voice is perfect. May wouldn't to be able to stand a sickly sweet voice everyday nor a very ugly evil voice. Colette's voice is just perfect.

"This prophecy is very important, Enchantress of Love, you know that Colette. These words came from the Leader of Elemente himself!" The Enchanter of Water spoke.

May knew who they were talking about as May is as intelligent as she is beautiful. She kept listening.

"And, let's not go into further details, not with your 'hero' outside" as the door opened. May gasped. The eye floated from it's frame. May realized that the eyeball is made of ice!

"You are the Enchanter of Water and Ice!" May gasped in surprise. Leaders ruled Planet Elemente and there were fifteen leaders to be exact. The Leaders each owned at least one school of magic because the leaders own at least one element of magic such as water, fire, ice, earth, that stuff. Higher leveled Leaders were called Enchanters for boys and Enchantress for girls.

"That's right, May! Did you already know my name, or did you hear Colette say my name?" The Enchanter of Water asked with a very dangerous edge to his tone. There was a boy beside the Enchanter of Water who looked about the same age as she was. He had brown hair, slightly lighter than her little brother's hair and was quite tall for eleven. He wore a shirt that went down slightly lower than his knees as the boy's uniform from any element would go down to and dress pants. She could see his inside blue shirt just under his neck. He had a very confident look on his eyes and had rosy cheeks.

"Oh, I already knew. Thank you very much!" May answered, smiling as her mother told her smiling would get her out of most dangerous situations. Even if she had to fake smile it realistically.

"Thank you very much?" The Enchanter of Water laughed, Colette rubbed her head with a smile. May looked at the boy and saw it pink.

"Enchanter of Water? Does he have natural rosy cheeks?" May asked.

The Enchanter of Water looked carefully on Matthew's face and said "Matthew you mean? No, May. Colette, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Hmm, I see what's going on. The Leader of Dark Arts told me the same thing between Abby and Nicholas! The other, you know" Colette confirmed

"I see, well, come in May!" The Enchanter gestured.

May walked in the Headmistress' room. It is made of pink topaz, a truly beautiful room. She took a seat beside Matthew on a magenta sofa. What she is stunned by is how the Enchanter of Water even found out her name without anyone saying it!

"May and Matthew, you are given your first assignment." Colette spoke "Your job is to go to the planet of Sealifeco and locate the augury of love and water. The Planet Sealifeco is the planet of time, and there are twelve auguries in each tree of the hour. You are to go to the second tree and the fourth tree to retrieve the auguries. Your powerful magic is needed to retrieve the auguries. Our enemies will most definitely want to stop you. Whatever they do, give them no mercy. Do whatever you have to to retrieve the auguries!"

May was very confused. She was supposed to go to a planet and battle evil to retrieve these auguries! She was very horrible at Elemental Magic, let alone this!

"Don't worry May, this is why Matthew is here. I brought him here to prepare you two for this mission." The Enchanter of Water spoke "Besides, you have plenty of time to prepare your Elemental Magic, but for all I know right now, you are really concerned about that, aren't you?"

May realized that the Enchanter of Water read her mind using her name as evidence as to confirm that the Enchanter of Water indeed knows how to read minds.

"How much time exactly?" May asked nervously.

"Oh, we are about to listen to the prophecy May, so just relax" Colette interrupted "We don't have much time right now. You might have to pack up right away after this so listen!"

Colette revealed a crystal orb.

"Uh what magic is this?" May asked

"Oh, this is orb magic, the third branch of magic. Orb magic is used in two different ways. The Enchanter of Water uses this magic." says Colette and she gestured at the Enchanter of Water, as he brought out his wand. It was a very beautiful weapon. The wand is longer than a foot with a crystal clear ocean blue orb at the end with the water symbol inside the orb, secured with mythril coils around half of the blue diamond rod.

"This magic is a powerful variation of Elemental Magic. It requires powerful mana control and delicate mana control, as way too much mana is used in this magic. The power in orb magic is so powerful, it beats standardized magic by ten times!" Colette explained "and the second way to use it is to tell the future. A mysterious voice comes out of all the orbs, which I do not know why. But here is the prophecy"

"Which one?" May asked

"Right, this prophecy is the mission you are on. After your mission, you will come back here to listen to the hero prophecy. Understand?"

"Yes ma'am" May answered.

Colette tapped her wand on the crystal orb and mist came out of it.

The first crystal is your cousin's

that requires a female in the oven

The second crystal is more difficult

as the male will be hit with a spike-pult!

This is found in the planet of time

and you will be mocked by an evil mime!

Only the pink jewel's daughter can

defeat the evil mime and have him banned!

Complete it within the next Christmas you hear the prophecy

Or you will lose the sight of see.

"I totally do not understand" Matthew complained.

"I do" May blurted out. "ish"

All three pairs of eyes immediately shot her the feeling of attention.

"Ish? ... Very well, please explain what you know" Colette answered.

The first crystal is your cousin's

"Well, you said that we are going to retrieve auguries, and I know that they are special kinds of crystals that some people cannot touch." May explained

"Very good, please continue" Colette confirmed

The first crystal is your cousin's

"Well, the female refers to me right? And the first crystal is my cousin's..." then May stopped. Because at this point, she realized that her cousin would become an extremely important part of this prophecy. She does not even know her cousins! She wished that she had paid attention to who her family members are!

"But I don't know who my cousins are so, I'll skip that" says May nervously.

"It doesn't meant you are the one May" Colette spoke "There might be others that go too. Another female, possibly"

"Okay, that makes things more complicated." May groaned. She read the next line of the prophecy.

that requires a female in the oven

"A female will be cooked? Somehow? In a giant oven to get the love augury?" May exclaimed in horror. She might be the one cooked. She did not like this prophecy.

May realized she did not understand the prophecy that well. Being smart does not help in such prophecies.

The second crystal is more difficult

The third line is not that important as everyone knows

as the male will be hit with a spike-pult!

"Matthew, you will be hit with a spike ball. Or some other male." May blurted out.

"No fair girl!" Matthew complained and punched May in the arm. "I hope it's not me!"

This is found in the planet of time

"The planet of time is Sealifeco, as you just mentioned" May continued

and you will be mocked by an evil mime!

"I'm guessing that one of us will be harassed beyond repair by a mime, and…"

Only the pink jewel's daughter can

defeat the evil mime and have him banned!

"I do not know what this part is talking about. Who the pink jewel?" May asked

Colette looked like she wanted to say something but she just wouldn't, as if she already knew the answer.

"No idea, continue May" Colette spoke unevenly.

"He will be defeated one way for sure but what is, oh." May said surprisingly.

Complete it within the next Christmas you hear the prophecy

Or you will lose the sight of see.

"Oh, this must be completed before the next Christmas as in…"

"Probably in Year 2" Matthew replied, finishing May's sentence

"I see, when do we go?" May asked

"As soon as I pack your bags, May." Colette spoke "Iota should be coming with it right … now"

Iota came in the room with a fancy backpack. May held the pack. It was truly amazing as it is stylish! Better than any purse you find in Paris! May did a walk around the room. Matthew giggled.

"Thank you so much, Professor!" says May gratefully.

"You're welcome" Iota responded as she left the room.

Colette got back to them and continued "Ok, now you two must get going. You will be accompanied by…"

SLAM! A woman with a tornado burst through the door.

"Mother!" Matthew yelped

"Oh, great!" says May

"Wonderful! This quest is about my Matthew? How wonderful!" Matthew's mother yelled, obviously delighted.

"Tornada, you should get going. And don't forget to keep an eye on my cousin as well" Colette spoke "You have the teleporter?"

"Of course. Thank you Professor!" Tornada said, bowing to Colette as they left.

They were outside the School of Enchanted Love. Tornada had her car parked in front of the door. Matthew and May got in the backseat. Tornada hit the ignition and the car flew in the air. Or was it an airplane?
