In the shadows a dark figure watches a small body on the ground. The body of a young child, a little girl, in the center of a giant magic mandala, with all the runes engraved into it except the rune 'Iwaz'. "My dear sweet child..." The dark figure says with an evil, twisted, yet sincere voice. "One day you will kill...but you need a 'key' for that..." The figure smiles evily. "I always did like the color of your hair...a faided blue...but now we shall have two of you..." He laughs evily and fades into the darkness.
"Why do I still look like I'm 20..?" Iwaz says to herself as she looks in a mirror "I look so young...not that I want to look old or anything..." She smiles to herself
"Iwaz..." Uruz knocks on the door "...Lofn is here."
"Great.." She says to herself "Tell her...umm...she can come in..." She sweat-dropped
Just as Iwaz finished her sentance a woman with long black hair entered the room, Lofn.She's one of those people who you wonder why you consiter them a friend, always saying something to ruin a good moment. But deep down you really love them, but you gotta dig pretty deep to find that love.
"Hiiii" Lofn says with a voice that rivals nails on a chalkboard
"Hi.." Iwaz says without even looking up
"Awww...My poor, dear, sweet Iwaz...how have you been...?" She asks with a flip of her hair
"...I'm sure not as good as you..." She smiles half-heartetly
"Oh...sure...ok..." She sits on Iwaz's bed "Oh yah...heres Sparky..."
"Sparky...?" Just as Iwaz finishes her sentance Lofn throws a little glowing ball at her
Iwaz catches the glowing ball and looks at it, trying to figure out what it is. After taking a few seconds to examine the orb, she figures it out. "Kari!!" She smiles and a little fairy pops out of the light
Iwaz sighs in releif as she looks at Lofn "I'm glad she's still alive..."
"Hey whats that suppose to mean?"
"Oh,nothing..." She says sarcasticly while petting Kari on the head with one finger
"Ooooohhhh....ok,I see whats going on..." Lofn says as she glares at Iwaz
"Whats going on...?"
"...You must have had a fight with your husband...thats prolly why your acting that way..."
"Acting what way....and stop saying 'prolly'...its very childish..." She says with a grin
"Childish!!Childish my ass...your just jelous that I'm 'cooler' that you."
"Oh please...dont even get me started..." She says while still petting Kari on the head
"Ah ha you have no come back line now do ya?!?"
"No,I'm just not going to stoop to your level." She says with a grin
Lofn just stares at Iwaz then turns away "...uhhh...hehe....well...oh thats right...ummm...have you seen Hel lately...?"
"No..why...did she do something that I might need to know about?"
"No...I just thought you might be keeping track of her since she is Hella's sister."
"Even so...she's old enough to take care of herself...plus Hella has a little tracker on her. Just to make sure she doesn't do anything she might regret." She stops petting Kari and suddenly stands up
Kari sits on Iwaz's shoulder as she walks to the door and opens it "I think its time for you to go now."
"Awwww....why now?" She asks in a child like voice
"Because..." She looks over to a clock on a dresser "Its almost time for someone to come home." She pauses for a second "And you know that person doesn't like it when you are here after a hard day of work."
Lofn frowns "I never did like her that much anyways." She walks to the door and Kari sticks her tounge out at her as she passes by
Lofn closes the front door and Uruz turns toward the door "Did Lofn leave already?"
"Yes."
"Why did she go?"
"Because its time for Manna to come home."
"Oh is it that late already?"
"Yes.." Iwaz walks over to Uruz and moves him near the door, puts his arm out, and waits for a short while till the front door suddenly opens.
"I'm home!!!" A young teen-age girl walks into the house, she throws her backpack onto Uruz's arm and plops down on the couch.
Iwaz smiles and takes Manna's backpack from Uruz and throws it back to her and hits her in the face with it
"Owwww!!! Iwaz what the hell was that for?!" She sets the backpack on the floor and rubs her now red face Iwaz looks at her and shrugs "After all these years..." She shakes her head "...just get rid of the spell, your not at school anymore."
"Is that it? You could have just said that without having to throw anything you know!" Manna sighs then writes a few words in the air, as she does a mist slowly starts to form around her and soon goes away. Just as the final shread for mist disapears Manna's face has changed. Under both of her eyes symbols appear that are shaped like pointed hearts. Her hair also changes color from a light black to a deep red, her bangs become a pinkish color, and her eyes also turn red.
Iwaz walks towards Manna and tucks her hair behind her ear "You didn't change these!" She pulls at her ears making Manna whine "You didn't give the spell enough time to wear off!!" Just as Manna finishes her sentance her ears become slightly pointed, Iwaz lets go and smiles
"Welcome home Manna!" Iwaz smiles and hugs her
Uruz shrugs " Some things never change
