ENJOY!!!!
"So, how did you like your first battle?"
Fuji glared at the cat-eared girl. "How did we like it?! Who could like a battle? Why are we fighting these strange creatures? If this is a world of impossibilities, then why are there wars? Wouldn't someone wish or want for no more wars, which is an impossibility on Earth?"
Ajian grimaced, "First, I said that with sarcasm, Fuji-kun. Second, we have a human leading this world, not a Dryin or a Neirlad like you guys. Farlor has no magic and therefore is completely powerless to create impossibilities except when the gods give him the power. The only way Juju was able to conceive a human child was because an evil god allowed it. And even then, Farlor's only power was to rape her. So he resorts to what he knows best and is his human instinct: war. We may wish for no war here in Arienai, but that doesn't mean that it can't happen. You humans are always at war, whether most of you know it or not. Here, we are at war only when someone interferes and argues with the gods and their plans."
Fuji growled and pulled Ryoma close to him. He still didn't like it. If this was a world of impossibilities, then how come it was at war? And why were they needed? Fuji remembered that Ajian had said something about them having powers, but none of them had showed any magical abilities. Fuji felt an arm encircle his shoulders. Tiredly, he slumped into Tezuka's embrace.
"What powers were we supposed to have?" Tezuka asked. Apparently he had the same question.
Ajian glanced at them. "Even though I said that to Ryoma, I didn't actually expect your 'special' powers to burst out today. Yes, all of you have magic that you can use at will, like the bubble breather, but you also have a 'special' magic that only you have and that only you can use. And while I said it was possible that your powers might awaken, I had sincerely hoped not. Because if it had, without supervision from me or Ryoma, you could have easily burned out your energy and died. These special powers of yours are not like those of Arienai's people. They can only be stopped by a master or someone familiar with the weaknesses of that type of power. So, while you would have certainly gotten rid of the Kyraneths, you most likely would have taken Kokopelli along with them as well as yourself."
Fuji and Tezuka looked at her with slightly horrified faces. "When will we be able to control these powers of ours?" Fuji whispered.
Ajian's ears flicked backwards and then back in Fuji's direction. "That's a very good question. Now you see why Ryoma wasn't so happy that you guys were supposed to fight on instinct. The control comes with practice and knowledge. You see, you have to know what your powers are to control them. The only problem with this is that you will never know your powers until you use them on accident. Basically you risk killing yourself with your own power before you even know what it is so that you can control it. Do you understand?"
"Not precisely, but please continue." Fuji said wryly.
Ajian grinned. "Take the power of Fyre. It's spelled differently than you know. F-Y-R-E instead of F-I-R-E; but anyway, discovering your powers is a little difficult. If you didn't know you could control Fyre, and then your powers surfaced spontaneously, you could burn yourself to death before you could even realize that Fyre was your power. That's why it is important to have a master around. Because we know all the powers."
Fuji nodded slowly and Ajian shrugged. "Let's go, Lonnie should be reheating breakfast." Fuji was about to stand and carry Ryoma when the boy was taken from his arms. Fuji looked up into Tezuka's eyes, which held love, tenderness, and affection.
"Kunimitsu…"Fuji whispered. Then he smiled and stood. They walked back to the house in silent companionship.
---------------------------------
Everyone in the dining room nearly had a heart attack when Ryoma came bursting through the door.
"Ajian! The Final battle. In. three…months. In…ah…Desert's Coven!" Ryoma cried, gasping.
Ajian looked at him, then down at her food. She put her chopsticks down and stood up gracefully. She turned and walked over to the mirror on the wall opposite the door.
"Spliene, Spliene,
Falvne sa tur,
Spire awr Dentrv,
Qinlu, Troun.
Shaou Louan
Spawntr sa Fleor,
Aveela nascul da la seowl,
Siyou hash shu nao."

"Mirror, Mirror
Tell us all,
Spring and Summer,
Winter, Fall.
Silver Enchantress
Show us Fate,
When the clock strikes twelve,
The world shall break."
Ajian chanted the song twice, and then waited. Almost a full minute later, as if a drop of water hit a pond, a small ripple swept across the mirror. Slowly, a large, black, fan started to be pushed out of the mirror. Ajian grabbed the end and pulled the rest straight out. As soon as the fan was out of the mirror portal, a long, large, wooden tube started to come out. Ajian grabbed the end with one hand and pulled it out as well. Then she nodded to the mirror and with a fingertip, gently made another ripple on the mirror.
Ajian turned slowly back towards the table. "Ryoma, we have to do it."
"NO!" Ryoma cried. "No! We can't do that to them!"
"Ryoma! I don't like it either, but we have no choice. Your visions are always true. If we have three months, then that means there is no time to wait. I know you don't want to put them through that, but we have no choice!" Ajian said softly.
"Bunlin sho na, duani.(1)" Ryoma said reluctantly. He turned and walked out.
(1) - Bulin sho na, duani - whatever you say, Princess.
Ah! so the first battle is over and now there is only three more months before everything ends. WHat is it that Ajian wants to do to the twelve stars? Why does Ryoma not want them to go through with it? well, we'll find out in the next installment on January 28, 2009!
