Sorry for the wait any readers I had.. if I still have them Computer ended up going into the shop for a bit and now I'm waiting for a New one to replace the one im using as of this being posted. Sadly I haven't pushed through that bit of writers block I was having as Im stuck trying to write something without enough Ideas for it. Anyways onto what reviews I may have

Whwsms: The Kami-yan disease is nigh unstoppable and Touma has no control over it. Yes that is a dangerous fact about Othi isn't it. Oh please we all know Sphinx is truly a god above gods. We'll see what I will say is that Megoi Arisa/Shutaura aren't gonna be immediately prevalent

Now let this tale of Infinity commence once more.

Chapter 13

Love art and violence

"Megoi Arisa? You mean the girl who was thought to have possibly been the next saint?" remarked Itsuwa

Index was trembling slightly and she asked shakily "wh-where is Celt stationed? Where is she hiding out?"

Muireann looked at Index and her gaze grew sympathetic "You were friends with Megoi Arisa weren't you?" Index nodded and Muireann continued "Well then she's been hanging out in a hotel in district 3 I would take you there myself but I'd rather keep a eye on things here and make sure Kamijou-sama doesn't get attacked by any fey taking advantage of him being in the hospital." Muireann seemed nervous when she said that, as if there was more behind her reason to stay behind.

Index had her suspicions as to why Muireann would want to stay behind. But they were of no importance at the moment, nor were they a threat to Touma or herself so she nodded "Thank you Muireann, anything else that we should know?"

Thames then spoke up "last we checked which was two days ago, she was close to completing her preparations to take down Kamijou Touma she'll be ready today at least, tomorrow at most" she then sighed "its a shame really, she has no idea she's being led on"

Tatemiya nodded and spoke "Indeed, thank you all for the info though I have my own question" the fey looked at him curious "you wouldn't happen to know what kind of power, magic or innate fey capabilities Celt Eislyn has do you?"

Muireann, Thames and her brothers all looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking their heads. Gentle Annie then shook her head and spoke, Othinus having returned next to Index satisfied at the results of her prior examination. "No none of us knows what she can do, she was very careful to show what she was capable of around us. She trusted us sure but she knew that you don't need to be willing in order for others to get such knowledge from us."

Tatemiya frowned "So we're going in blind again, Index do you have anything that could give us a clue of what to look out for?" He turned to Index.

Index closed her eyes and dove into the sea that was her memories, oddly she didn't find much about the Leanan Sidhe, but she found some hints that would help. "Leanan Sidhe are generally associated with artists of all kinds, like a muse of sorts. So if Celt has power it'll likely be related to that" she then frowned.

"Other than that I can't find anything of use. They were often vague when described, never was it ever specified what exactly they did or what they could or couldn't do. All I know is they could inspire poets, artists, writers, and even well singers like Arisa. Anything that is considered an art or trade could give those who worked in them a inspirational boost. Generally a relationship with one is consensual though, however what counts as consent is not specified. Other than their love, what exactly qualifies as the love of the one being inspired could be more broad then we realize."

Itsuwa then turned to the fey "I assume you understand we can't bring you with us, even if you are willing to help us, we had to capture you."

Itsuwa took a breath before continuing "And that was reported to the church meaning we cannot let you go free. Muireann is different as she had taken a valuable ally to the hospital and even went so far as to apply a binding pact. So because of that Muireann?" she then turned to the selkie who looked a little confused as to why she was being addressed

"Yes? What is it Itsuwa, It is Itsuwa yes?" Muireann asked appearing nervous

"It is, and If it's alright with the ponifix, I'd suggest putting You in charge here until we get back. Not only are you capable, but you also have personal connections with most of the Fey here. Not only that but because of those personal connections you can mitigate the likelihood of any fey attacking Kamijou. You may even be able to win them to our side." She turned to Tatemiya who smiled broadly and nodded

Muireann nodded and said "I, Muireann Conan will fulfill the role you have given me, to the best of my ability." She held her hand up to her chest before finished "I promise"

With that Index, Itsuwa, Othinus, Misaka, and the Amakusa made their way towards district 3 where Celt Eislyn the Leanan Sidhe resided. They reached the hotel where she supposedly was staying.

Muireann didn't know the name but knew where it was, but couldn't come with them.

While she had met Celt, Thames said she had never actually been to the hotel in which Celt stayed; her brothers had no idea either. It was Gentle Annie, the Black Annis who provided the name of the hotel and they now stood a little ways from it's front entrance. It was around 9:30 in the morning by then and as they observed the hotel Index noticed something.

"There's something off about the mana in the air around the building." She remarked

"What exactly do you mean? How is it off?" Tatemiya, who was next to Index asked

"It's almost as if the mana has been contaminated and diluted by some other form of energy" Index said as she continued to inspect the mana around the building.

Something was indeed off with the mana, Index wasn't sure exactly what it was but she suspected that it may have had something to do with what Touma mentioned about AIM possibly being used to substitute for creative energy. Either way their spells would likely put strain on their bodies if they entered the building.

Misaka who was on a roof nearby then pointed to the entrance of the building where people were leaving in a trance, even the employees appeared to be exiting. "I think we've been noticed" she shouted

Itsuwa nodded from her position "Yeah I'm detecting a people clearing field, It's odd though almost like an inversion of some other spell." she frowned.

None of the people leaving the building even glanced at them as they passed by, but Index noticed a space of normal mana in the building getting closer to them. After the crowd had cleared and there was no one left, an enchantingly beautiful woman exited the building. Pale silver hair, lavender eyes and an unnaturally beautiful figure that some would compare to a fairy queen.

The woman smiled as she faced those who would oppose her. "Well I expected you to find me sooner or later, however. I must say that I was hoping you'd take one more day. I assume this means you beat the others, and don't go thinking that your lies will fool me."

Index glared and stepped forward Tatemiya by her side, Othinus on her shoulder. "Celt Eislyn I presume?" she asked to confirm her suspicions.

"Indeed I am, And You're the Index of prohibited books I guess? You're quite cute I must say, shame we are enemies" Celt bowed, smiled and then winked at Index causing her to feel a bit flustered. "But I'm afraid we are so" Celt then put a communications spell to her ear "dear would you be so kind as to sing one of your lovely sad songs?"

The speakers inside the hotel came to life, and a voice Index recognized but was oh so slightly different began to sing. It was a sorrowful melody that gave Index a feeling of guilt and regret. Index's strength left her, and she felt like she didn't want to fight back, didn't want to defend. Like she deserved to die.

Looking around, Index noticed the Magicians around her as well as Misaka also seemed to be affected by the song. "Arisa!" Index Shouted.

The Leanan Sidhe smiled and began humming to herself as she began to dance slowly at first towards Index. She then pulled out a Ivory blade which when fully drawn suddenly clicked and lit up like a lightbulb. The moment the blade lit up Index suddenly felt like she needed to get close to the blade she wanted to touch it.

At that moment Index realized what that blade was. A replica of the sword of Nuada, It had a few names including Claíomh Solais. It was said that it shined like a candle in the darkness. And that those whom it was drawn upon would find themselves inescapably drawn to it. If it cut her she would be unable to avoid it as those cut by it would be unable to escape as per the legend.

Othinus who was on Index's shoulder was unaffected by the sword as she was not the target. Itsuwa seemed to be muttering a prayer along with the Other Amakusas, and Misaka seemed to be trying to use Index's habit's pins to move her away from Celt.

Celt was in front of Index, the song echoing from the building and the blade swung high. Index found herself trying to move towards the blade instead of away. It swung down, and just before It could hit Index she found herself yanked back by the pins in her habit. The blade struck the ground somehow causing the pavement to shatter and split. Index saw in her peripheral vision, Tatemiya and the Other Amakusa charging at the Leanan Sidhe weapons ready.

Now next to Misaka and Itsuwa both of whom seem to have thrown off the song's effects. Itsuwa knelt next to Index and casted the spell which she and Amakusa had used to defend against the Banshee, this time by designating Arisa's Song as 'Evil'. as soon as the spell completed Index could no longer hear the song.

Quickly casting it again for Othinus Itsuwa then turned to see that her fellow Amakusas weren't having as easy time against Celt Eislyn as they should. She was somehow weaving and avoiding every one of their attacks. Her dance, a beautiful trance, her humming an anthem of war. Every strike she made launched the Amakusa back despite her supposedly not having such strength.

Celt then used her communication spell mid battle while dodging attacks. "Dear that's enough for now, I'd like you to sing one of your more, energetic songs."

As soon as she stopped speaking her movements suddenly became a blur. Like her speed strength, energy had skyrocketed. She knocked the Amakusas back and charged Towards Index the blade at the ready. Index Incapable of fighting back as she was drawn to it's glistening edge. Had she been able to Fight back, she might have noticed how the tune Celt was humming corresponds to her increase in strength. The term Bard might come to mind for those who play a certain role playing game.

Before Celt could reach Index, Misaka and Itsuwa cut her off. Ironsand erupted from nearby creating an impassable wall in front of Celt. Itsuwa swung her spear down from the side, hoping to catch Celt. But all Celt did was smile, she had suddenly moved out of the path of Itsuwa's spear. And around Misaka's Ironsand wall ready to strike Index with her blade. Index reached out towards it, and just before It hit Othinus kicked it off course causing it to miss. Celt jumped over Index but by that time the Amakusas had regained their footing and reached her.

Celt began to hum an oppressive Tune and Index, the Amakusas, Tatemiya, Othinus, and Misaka suddenly felt heavy as if chains were weighing them down. Fear welled up within them as if an overwhelming force had appeared, like an immense army had come. The Leanan Sidhe then began to push the Amakusa back once more

Othinus kicked Index's face causing her to close her eyes for a split moment. But that made it so Celt's sword no longer had a hold on her and she could use that to her advantage. "RTAOTBATIOTU (Reverse the Allure of the Blade, and Turn it On the User)" she shouted and the moment she opened her eyes she saw Celt's eyes wide as she quickly sheathed the blade before Index finished. Thus avoiding the effects of the spell.

Celt quickly retreated back towards the hotel's entrance "As much fun as I'm having playing with you all, especially you" she flashed a grin at Misaka and Itsuwa. "I can't let this go on." She then grinned as Index noticed the odd mana from within the building billow out over them.

Someone who's face she did not recognize but she knew all the same stepped out her eyes glazed slightly as if she couldn't quite see what was in front of her, her mouth moving as if in song. Itsuwa and the Amakusa suddenly gritted in agony as the contaminated mana touched them. Only a small area around Celt appeared clear, and even then. A concentrated stream of that odd mana seemed to flow into her from the one who had stepped out. Megoi Arisa, Shutaura Sequenzia two people one body.
