Chapter 21

It's been a few day after their trip to the water park/Spa and the members of Wolves Pride felt much better and the guild was back to its normal self besides a few things. One was that Master Sara left with Jean to go to Wonderland's Heart and the other was the few new members the guild got.

"I take it they don't like us much." Urteil said as he was in his book drinking a nice cup of tea, he was at one of the tables within the guild sitting next to his was Xavier who had his head on the table and on the other side of the table was Thursday. Pretty much every member of the guild was staring at them with an evilish glare and they could feel it.

"Well I can't blame them." Xavier said as he kept his head down, but then someone walked up to them, they looked up to see it was DeWinter, she wore a very friendly face.

"Why all the long faces?" Winter asked them, she already knew the answer but she just wanted to know.

"Simple, everyone hates us." Thursday said before she sighed.

"Oh now that's not true, My Mother likes you, and Jean, and I don't have a problem with you." Winter told them as she looked at the other glaring members of the guild. "I'm sure once everyone gets to know you, you'll fit in just fine."

Suddenly the air was filled with a glare that made everyone shiver slightly as the sound of a door opening up was heard, they all turned to see it was the basement door slowly being opened and Melissa slowly stepping out, she had begs under her eyes which were blood shot red.

"DeWinter…" She said as she stumbled out from the door way into the guild, she looked around slowly to see the whole guild and soon found her little sister; she slowly walked over to the table with all the new members. "I need coffee and sweets… All of it."

Winter could only smile at her sister as she hopped up before saying "Sure sis." She made her way other to the bar. Melissa watched her sister walk away before her eyes turned over to the former dark mages, who looked slightly scared mainly Thursday.

"What's wrong with you three?" She asked them with a slight glare in her eyes, it wasn't like everyone else's glare it was just her normal face, Melissa then looked around slightly then got what was happening, She turned to face everyone else. "If anyone has a problem with them speak up now!" She ordered them as she crossed her arms.

The other members started to look around at each other before Isa was the first one to speak up, "I just don't know why they are here, they tried to kill us." Some of the other member started to agree with her.

"Your point?" Melissa asked as she stared right at Isadora, who was slightly taken back by this. "As I recall, our first meeting you tried to steal from me."

"I was on the street and…" "And had no other choice, well when a mad woman is holding your life by her finger tips some people do what they believe they have too." Melissa said cutting her off. "I'm not going to force you to make friend with them, but I will force you to play nice and stop during the mood down in here, they wear the mark of your family, like it or not, and if I hear any of you trying any funny idea's there will be a punishment." She explained to all them and they couldn't help but look away slightly or look down.

"Geez sis, you don't have to be so mean." Winter said as she walked back over with Pedro who had a two large barrels with the word Coffee on them as Winter had a lot of finger cakes.

"Good, take them to the basement for me, I still have a lot of work to do before I leave on another mission. Thanks Sugar." She said as the two bartenders took the stuff to the basement with Melissa following behind, leaving the guild quiet and slightly confused on what to do, but then the door burst open showing Master Sara walking in with Jean.

"We're Home!" Jean called out to everyone with a smile on his face. He and Sara walked in and she walked over to the bar as Jean went to his normal table where Scarlet and Suta was sitting.

"Y'all miss me?" He asked as he sat down.

"As if anyone would miss your ass Light Bright." Nora said to him from a nearby table with a smile on her face. "No one asked you, ya heartless witch!"

"Who you calling heartless, Shineball?!" Nora yelled back to her brother as she got up.

"You ya shedevil!" The two twin kept yelling at each other as they was soon head butting, this caused the guild to laugh lightly as they always loved watching the twins fight. They both quickly jumped back cupping their hands. "Lig/Sha-" They both was quickly cut off as an unknown force slammed them into each other causing them both to slide off each other falling to the floor knocked out. "Ughhh" was the only noise to come out of them.

"I will not have you two breaking things today." Sara said as he had one finger up, this caused most of the guild members to burst out laughing as other sighed.

(Newbies)

Mia was on a mission with the rest of her team, she was walking beside Theo with Fury in her arms as she enjoyed holding him. Tania was floating right next to her on her broom stick wearing a new light blue skirt with a matching top and a pink bow on the back. Mia liked doing missions with her team, even if most of them were a bit too safe. She hardly ever got to test her magic unless it was healing someone, which was a few missions she got; she really wanted to show everyone that she could fight. After her defeat to the boogieman she has been feeling a bit down as she couldn't protect her new family and she hated it.

She knew she could fight and win, she even trained with Winter when the Bartender had time, Mia would ask Morrigan but she's normally away and is really scary during training so no. But this mission was going to be so boring, they are going to go help a man find his wife's lost necklace, yay…

The soon reached the town after they had to walk from the nearby city with the train station, the town seem fairly busy as people was walking the streets and talking. It was a nice small town, Mia followed Theo and Tania as she looked around, Fury was right next to her.

They soon reached the man's house and he let the group in and they all started to look for the necklace, well beside Theo who found this task beneath him, so h just sat down and watched. Tania was wearing her gray witch hat and started to make a lot of the things in the living room float, even the chair Theo was in but it didn't seem to bug him. Mia and Fury went into another part of the house to look and about two minutes in Mia sighed.

"Mia, whats the matter?" Fury asked the young girl who sighed again. "Nothing, it's just… I don't know, I wanna do more."

"What do you mean?" He asked her as he walked over to the girl.

"I don't know, its just everyone is so amazing, Tania can do so many amazing things, Theo can make things blow up, the twins are amazing with Light and Shadows, Morrigan is super powerful, Isadora just got a new power, Akira can read mind and everyone else can do just as amazing things, even you Fury, you can turn into a really big cat with swords, as for me, I can't really do much.

"Don't say that Mia, you're amazing just like the other." Fury said trying to comfort the young girl.

"No, I'm not like everyone else, I can heal but only minor wounds, as Tania can do so much more." "But your light magic…" "It's nothing compared to someone like Jean or Cal's who does so many amazing thing, I couldn't even hurt the dark mage attack the town and he took me out in pretty much one hit. I'm pretty much useless."

"Neko…" Both Mia and Fury turned around to find Theo behind them and Mia felt a sharp pain on her forehead as she was plucked by him. "Owwwiee!" She rubbed the spot where he plucked with large tears in her eyes to see the male mage looking down at her before he placed his hands on top of had head petting it even with the headband in the way.

"You're not useless, Mia, You are a tough little girl, who has a lot of heart and courage, even when your back was to the wall you stood up to a deranged mad man to protect everyone." He told her as he kneeled down to be eye level with her. "So don't ever think yourself as Useless or anything like that, you are far above that."

Mia smiled lightly from the kind words that Theo said to her which was rare as Theo hardly every had anything nice to say. She nodded her head as she felt a bit better from him being kind to her; he stood back up before starting to walk away.

"Also hurry up, I would like to get back home soon Neko." He told her before he went back to sit down. "Theo would you help already and stop being lazy!" Tania's voice yelled in from the other room which caused Mia to giggle as she went back to hunting.

(Meow)

Isadora stood in a field wearing black short and a red tank top with black fingerless gloves, she had on her normal boots and her necklace was still hanging around her neck but this time she had it out to be seen, her hair was still in her normal ponytail as it kept it out of her eyes. She had a bit of a worried look on her face as she looked to the person across from her, it was Morrigan in a wore out Tunic that was black, she also had on a brown belt around her waist keeping the large shirt close to her body, she had beige pants tucked into her boots and a pair of brown gloves that matched her belt. Isa was not sure why she was dressed like she lived two hundred years in the past, but it worried her a lot.

"Let's get started Isadora." Morrigan said as she walked over to her, this got Isa attention; she was ready for this, for whatever Morrigan was going to put her through. "I want you to do your breath attack."

Isadora looked at her slightly confused but then remember that her brother did do attack from his mouth, what was it again… a Screech, but she was not really sure what to do, but Morrigan stepped forward.

"I will show you mine first, then you will try." Morrigan explained as she took a deep breath and then "War God's Bellow!" She fired a large rage beam from her mouth towards the sky, Isa was amazed by this sight as she has only seen her bellow once before and that was years ago. Once she stopped the bellow Morrigan turned to Isa before saying.

"Now you try."

Isa turned to face the open field as the two of them left out the City not to destroy anything, she slowly took a deep breath, and she let out a loud yell with her eyes closed sadly nothing else happen.

"….. Disappointing." Morrigan said as she shook her head. "Isadora you must feel the element within you, you must build it up deep inside you, then unleash it as a mighty roar. Now try again."

Isadora slowly took a deep breath before releasing it and taking another, she could feel a small warmth come from inside her, it was a weird feeling a new one as she only had felt her flames from the outside, thanks to all her training she became used to the fire and her own flames wouldn't burn her, but this felt so odd, it was like she was burning from the inside, but it didn't hurt, she felt her body get hotter and hotter, the flames felt so good, so right, She took a really deep breath and unleashed a powerful yell… but no fire came out again.

"Again." Morrigan said as Isa tried once more and failed, she tried again, and again and again all ending with nothing but a lot of yelling and a slightly hurt voice, but she kept trying over and over but she kept failing at it, she was at it for about a full half an hour before she noticed this was getting her nowhere and it started to upset her greatly.

"Again."

"It's not working Morrigan, I can't do it." Isadora said as she looked down, she felt like a failure with her own brother's gift.

"Isadora." Isa heard Morrigan call out she lifted her head before feeling a tug at her neck before hearing a pop noise that sounded like something breaki… "My Necklace! Give It Back!" Isa yelled as she reached out to take it back but was meet with a foot to her chest knocking her onto her rear. She looked up at Morrigan with eyes of pure anger as the war goddess as looking at the necklace closely before looking down at her.

"If you wish to have your necklace back, take it from me, or you can do your breath attack and ill return it." Morrigan said as she just stood there looking down at Isadora who was quick to get back onto her feet to try to recover her necklace, but Morrigan just dodged out of her way and then tripped Isa but Isa has always been good on her feet and was easily able to catch herself.

"Morrigan give it back!" She yelled as she jumped at the shorter older woman who just dodged out of the way again with ease, they kept doing this song and dance for a bit slowly sending Isa into a rage. "GIVE IT BACK!" She yelled as her hair started to catch on fire with her cyan flames burning bright.

"I might just keep it, it is nice." She said as she looked Black Rose on the end of the necklace, it was really nice. Just the sound of Morrigan saying that slightly caused Isa to snap as she ran up to the god slayer with a balled up fist.

"Give it back!" She yelled as she went for a punch which Morrigan moved out of the way of slightly, before she placed her hand on Isa chest and pushed her over. Isa found herself on the ground and quickly looked up at Morrigan, her eyes widen with fear as she slowly saw Morrigan who started to put the necklace around her neck slowly, Isa couldn't take it she had to get it back she had too!

"GIVE IT BAAAAAACK" She yelled as she felt an explosion start to come from her mouth and the cyan flames started to come out of it as she yelled to the heavens, as the flames came to a stop Isa looked in shock as she did it, she slowly got back to her feet as she looked down at her hands, she has never unleashed something that powerful before from her own body. She looked up to face Morrigan but she found her necklace in front of her, she was quick to grab it and she held it close.

"Your attack needs a lot of work, but it is a start." Morrigan said as she crossed her arms but she had a small smile on her face. "But I have grown tired and needs some cake.

(Meanie)

"Hi everyone it's me, Dark Hyena." I said right into the camera as all the lights turned on showing the stage. "And welcome to Ask A Mage!" I moved over to my seat and the last light turned on revealing today's guest.

"And today's guest is Mia!" Mia waved as she sat in the chair that was much too big for her. "Hi everyone!"

"Okay Mia, todays question is from Derekjay2000, They want to know how do you like living with Morrigan and DeWinter?" I asked her, Mia sat there for moment thinking about it.

"It's pretty fun and surprising that they had a spare room for me and Fury, as they only have a two bedroom apartment. Morrigan doesn't have many rules and I can pretty much do what I want as long as I keep my grades up." She explained.

"Oh that sounds fun, well I'm glad you enjoy living with them."

"Yeah, but sometimes it gets really noisy at night because they be training really hard."

"Oh dear god…"

"And they be kind of tried in the morning, and when I ask-" Mia was quickly cutoff be Winter covering her mouth with a blush on her cheeks.

"Mia time to come home, you have homework to do." DeWinter said as she walked away with Mia under her arm like she a small animal.

"What! Why?! But I did all my homework…" Mia complained as she was being taken away.

"Ahm, Well that seems to be all the time we have for this Ask A Mage, remember send your Questions to your favorite mage, and please… be careful what you ask out mages… Please. Until next time." I said as I waved good-bye with a smile.
