Star's POV-

About an hour after Aqua defeated that strange Firebird, we arrived in Granite Village. The village looked like a typical village that had houses made of stone, a blacksmith's forge near the edge of the town,a an inn, and a well at the center of the town.

Another fact about the village was that it was surrounded by a stone wall, possibly to protect it from monsters or any other threat.

The first thing we did was go to the Forge to see if we could get some weapons made for us so we could search for the Escudo Ore. Thankfully, among the supplies the villagers gave us was the currency here in Cephiro which is known as Ceph.

Ceph is in the form of coins and according to what we were told how much Ceph is worth depends on the color of the coins.

Bronze Ceph is worth $1, Gray Ceph is worth $5, Silver Ceph is worth $10, and Gold Ceph is worth $20.

In total, we had 5 gold Ceph, 5 silver Ceph, 4 gray Ceph, and 10 bronze Ceph. Which meant, in total we had $200 total in Ceph.

When we reached the Forge we saw a tall man with black hair and brown eyes who looked to be in his 40's with his hair greying with age.

"May I help you?" He asks in a deep voice with a tone that clearly didn't tolerate any foolishness.

With a nervous gulp, I answer.

"Yes, we'd like to know much it costs to purchase weapons, such as swords, bows, and spears." I say in as calm a voice as I could at the moment, this guy unnerved me alot.

As for why we were getting a bow and a spear, well Sky surprisingly had skill in the use of using a bow and Aqua was trained in how to use a staff or spear in combat. So, it was decided we'd get a sword for each of us, a bow for Sky, and a spear for Aqua.

He frowns at me before answering.

"Well, a sword costs $50 each, a bow costs $20 each, a spear costs $30 each, and arrows cost $4 each says the man."

We look at each other before I answer him

"Thank you, that's all we needed to know."

With that, Aqua, Sky, and myself walked out of earshot and view where we had a discussion about what we should do.

"This isn't good girls, we won't be able to get all the equipment we need!" I say in a quite voice that had a hint of panic in it.

"Well, you could get a sword, I could get a spear, and Sky could get a bow." Says Aqua.

"Yeah, accept if Sky runs out of arrows she won't have any way of defending herself!"

"Aqua thinks for a moment and realizes that I'm right and sighs.

"Alright Star, what should we do? Asks Aqua.

I think for a moment before answering.

"Lets see if anyone is willing to hire us for a short period of time."

With that, we split up and began looking for temporary jobs that would pay us.

Meanwhile in the Dark Zone...

Raimon's POV-

I had just gotten the report that the Magic Knights had destroyed Shadow Firebird. This told me two things. 1. The Magic Knights were stronger than they appeared to be and 2. I'd need to send a stronger Shadow Beast after them if I am to be successful.

However, I'd need to get Lord Phantom's permission in order to do this since all Level 2 and higher shadow beasts were off limits without his permission. On that line of thought however, I decided to go with another idea I had.

I then walked to the throne room and bowed to Lord Phantom.

"Lord Phantom, I regret to inform you that Shadow Firebird was destroyed. However, there is something I wish to test, with your permission of course."

Lord Phantom looks at me before answering me.

"Go on Raimon, I'm interested in what your plan is." He says in a calm voice.

"What I suggest we do is send the strongest Level 1 shadow beast after the Magic Knights. If it's destroyed we send level 2 shadow beasts after them, if it succeeds the Magic Knights won't be a problem anymore. If we fail however... we'll have to send stronger Shadow Beasts."

Lord Phantom appears to ponder on this for a moment before answering.

"Yes, this plan seems to have been well thought up, I approve of this plan Raimon. Send the strongest level 1 Shadow Beast after them and we will see how it goes from there."

"Thank you, Lord Phantom, I will do so right now." With that, I bow and leave the throne room and head to where the Shadow beasts are kept.

Once there I find the Shadow Beast I'm looking for.

"Shadow Armordillo Beast, it is time to test your might against the Magic Knights."

With that said the Shadow Armordillo beast opens it eyes to reveal they're glowing red.

Meanwhile, back with Star, Aqua and Sky...

Aqua's POV-

I groan as I fall face first onto the bed at the inn we're staying at. I had worked as an assistant to a Clothes Tailor for 3 hours and made $30 in Ceph and I was currently waiting for Star and Sky to meet up with me.

Suddenly, the door opens and in walk Star and Sky looking just as exhausted as I was.

"What did you guys do and how much did you make?" I ask tiredly.

"I worked at a florist shop and made $25." Says Sky.

"I worked at a Library and made $25 as well." Says Star

"So, in total we've made $80 in Ceph, combined with the $200 we already have, we have $280 in Ceph.

"This is gonna take a while, isn't it?" Star groans as she falls face first on the bed, just as I had done.

Just as I was about to answer her, a loud noise outside made all of us go rigid.

"What was that?" Asks Sky in a nervous tone.

"I'm not sure, but it probably wasn't good." Says Star as she gets up and heads out of the room to see what's happening outside.

"Star! Wait up!" I yell as I follow after her.

"Oh dear." Says Sky as she follows after the both of us.

When we get outside, we see that a building had collapsed and that there was another monster, this one looked like a giant armadillo with a metal shell and glowing red eyes.

"It must be another monster!" Yells Star as the Armadillo beast turns into a ball and rolls at us at fast speeds.

We barely get out of its path before it crashes into the stone wall that surrounds the village.

"I'm going to use my fire magic on the monster, keep it distracted!" Yells Star.

Sky and I nod and distract the monster for her.

As we kept the monsters focus on us it didn't notice that Star was sneaking up behind it.

"Fire Arrow!" Yells Star as she fires her attack at the monster, only for the shell to neutralize it and for the monster to turn to her.

"Hey! Stay away from her! Water Dragon!" I yell as water blasts from my hands and hits the shell, causing cracks to appear the creature then turned back over to me.

This got me thinking, if Star and I continued to attack the shell with our Fire and Water attacks...

Star seemed to have the same though process I did as she fired another Fire Arrow at it and once again it turned to her. The second time I used Water Dragon on the shell, it cracked even more and broke into pieces.

"Star now!" I shout as it turned to me one final time. Star used Fire arrow one last time and when hit the monster, it turned into purple smoke.

Once the monster was defeated, Star and I fell to our knees breathing heavily. Eventually we looked to see the villagers clapping and cheering. Sky rushed over,asking if we were okay. We nod our heads as she helps us up.

"What's going on over here?" A familiar deep voice asks.

We look over and see it's the Black Smith from earlier and he looked surprised.

"Well, that monster attacked the village and Aqua and I stopped it using our elemental magic." Says Star, not understanding why he's surprised.

"Do you by any chance know Mage Master Clef?" Asks the Black Smith

I nod my head

"Yes, he's the one who sent us to find the Escudo ore." I answer.

"I see, I'm guessing you were at the forge earlier to see if there were any weapons you could use to help you on your journey."

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Asks Star just as surprised as me and Sky were.

"I don't believe I've properly introduced myself, my name is Reginald. I'm the towns blacksmith as you know. I know Mage Master Clef, he asked me to have 3 swords made for the Magic Knights."

"It's nice to meet you Reginald, my name's Star." Says Star with a smile.

"Hello, my name's Sky." Says Sky.

"I am Aqua" I say in a serious manner. After all, this was official business

"An honor, please come with me and we'll get the weapons you need ready."

With that, we followed him to the Forge and he gave each of us a swords, I got a spear, and Sky got a Bow with 15 arrows.

Once we received our weapons we headed back to the Inn and we rested for the night. In the morning the village thanked us as prepared to leave.

"Hold on!"

We turn to see Reginald rushing over to talk to us.

"What is it Reginald?" Star asks concerned.

"I know where you need to go next. You must go through the Woods of illusions to get to Mana City. There you will find those who can teach you to use your magic more efficiently. However, the Woods of Illusions will test your will with your worst fears."

I nod in understanding.

"Thank you for this information Reginald."

With that, we leave Granite Village and head to the Woods of Illusion wondering wondering what we'd see in there.

That's a wrap! Sorry it took so long, I've been busy with other things. Anyways this is PK-GamingDrew:Omega signing out!
