Chapter 6

Vormund held his master in his arms and activated a healing spell to heal her injuries. He closed his eyes and concentrated all his magical energy into it to stop the wounds from bleeding. Alazne's wounds started to heal little by little but her face stayed paled and her consciousness didn't return.

"Just like I thought, all I can heal is the physical damage. My spell can't alleviate her weakened state and the worst part is her linker core has started to erode. I knew purifying one Item will lead to this but…" Vormund held his master tighter. "I really did make a mistake bringing her back to this path didn't I? Caliph-sama, Regina-sama."

As he mull over on what he should do he felt four magical signatures surround them. When he raised his head, he saw Fate and the others looking at them with their devices ready for battle. The moment Alazne lost consciousness the bind and barrier holding Fate and the others deactivated. Vormund knew this but his first priority was healing his master that's why he didn't bother doing anything.

"4 versus 1, looks like a little unfair don't you think?" Vormund said calmly.

"Sorry… but the circumstances we're in won't let us do otherwise. This will be a little unethical but it will increase the rate of us taking you both into custody. I ask you to come with us peacefully." Signum said.

She, Vita and Erio riding at Fried position themselves into their fighting stance. Fate on the other hand just stayed still in her position, her eyes fixed at the unconscious woman in Vormund's arm. They all saw what happened to the woman calling herself Alazne. Fate was shocked at what she just witness and Alazne's earlier actions towards her made Fate even more uneasy. Vormund upon noticing Fate's expression said…

"Don't worry Fate-sama, the Princess is okay. I have healed all her wounds so her life is not in danger… for now that is." Vormund said dolefully.

Without knowing the reason, Fate felt her chest tighten from the words she just heard. At that moment, she was feeling a whirlwind of emotions in her heart preventing her from thinking calmly. Who is this woman in front of me?, Why do I feel like I know her?, Is she really the person I think she is?, If so, why is she concealing her identity from us? From me?, What exactly is happening? All this questions flash in her mind making her even lost. Fate tried to say something but got interrupted by Vita.

"I think that's enough Fate, we can ask him and that woman all the information we want after we bring them back at Aegle." Vita said with a glowering look.

"I don't think that's going to happen though." Vormund said grinning.

"Let's see about that." Vita charge towards Vormund but his target disappeared from her sight.

"Vita behind you!" Signum shouted.

Signum swing her sword and slash through Vormund but she felt nothing. Vormund yet again disappeared from their sight. Vita and Signum stood back to back searching for their enemy.

"You guys should just give up. When I told you earlier that 4 versus 1 is unfair, I didn't mean it in your favor… but in MINE." Vormund said as he appeared behind Erio.

"Strada!" Erio shouted.

"Sonic Move."

Erio moved in lightning speed and strike Vormund from behind but even before his attack landed on Vormund, the said guardian stopped Strada with his right hand pointing finger. And then he kicked Erio away but was hit by Fried's breath of Fire.

"Erio!" Fate said as she catches Erio from falling into the sea.

"Did that get him?" Vita asked.

The four mage stared at the figure burning in front of Fried. It continued to burn without a sign of life when suddenly the smoke coming from the fire envelope Fried.

"Nachtruhe."

The smoke caused Fried to lose consciousness and fall from the sky. Signum tried to catch him but before she can even move…

"Schykel."

Chains wrapped around the four mages binding them once again. Vormund slowly appeared in front of them still holding his master in his arms with Fried in her lap.

"That attacked surprised me a little; you and this little dragon must be really close to each other." Vormund said looking at Erio.

"What did you do to him?" Erio asked.

"I just put him to sleep; there is nothing for you to worry about." Vormund answered. "Fire attacks do not work on me because it is my element but it is not the same for my master. Putting him to sleep is the only choice I have to prevent him from getting hurt; I can't guarantee his safety if he keeps attacking me while I'm holding my master. Now that you guys are settled can we talk a little?"

"Talk? You want to talk right after attacking us?" Vita said in a sarcastic tone.

"You attacked first though. Besides it is a guardian's duty to protect his lord, as a fellow guardian you should understand my actions." Vormund said.

"Guardian? Are you saying you are like us?" Signum asked.

"Yes I am, General of the Wolkenritter. Just like you, I only live to protect my master." Vormund said seriously.

He and Signum stared at each other for a few minutes before Signum said…

"I understand, let us talk then. It is okay right, Enforcer Testarossa – Harlaown?"

Fate look at Signum but all she got was a nod. It took her a few minutes but she decided to agree. With a snap of his fingers Vormund deactivated the binds holding the four mages. He also handed Fried back to Erio.

"I promise not to do anything as long as you don't do anything against us. I really just want to talk, you can trust me." Vormund said.

"Said the person who is still jamming our communication lines. You're the ones preventing us from contacting our ship, right?!" Vita said.

"My apologies but I don't want the bureau recording this conversation, it will just make the situation complicated for my master that's why I will not deactivate the barrier around this planet right now." Vormund said.

"How about our comrades who went inside the forest, what happened to them?" Erio asked.

And as if on cue Teana, Subaru and Caro appeared on the land below them. Subaru was about to charge in using her Wing Road but was stopped by Teana.

"I deactivated the barrier I placed around them earlier, the same time I freed you from my bind. Now that everyone is here, I think it is about time we talk properly." Vormund said.

"You are right, we do have lots to talk about but first, can you please tell us your name?" Fate asked.

"Ah, Forgive me. I still haven't introduced myself properly huh, that totally slipped my mind."

Vormund introduced himself to the seven mages and the others did the same. After they descended to the land, Vormund slowly laid the still unconscious Alazne under a tree before facing Fate and the others.

"Is she really alright? I can use some healing spell on her if you will allow me?" Caro asked shyly.

"No, that is fine. I have already used one earlier, right now all we can do is look after her." Vormund said.

"Did that thing, the relic that you call Holy Item, did this to her?" Fate asked worry showing in her voice.

"It is a side effect in sealing the Holy Items. I will explain it to you later on." Vormund said.

"I hope you are not just messing around with us because if you are I swear I will pulverize you." Vita said.

Vormund couldn't help himself and laughed at Vita's remark. He did this reflexively with no bad intention.

"Sorry, Sorry, I could not help it. Don't worry this is really worth your time. But before we start, I would like to ask you something very important if you will let me Fate-sama?" Vormund asked.

Fate who is still intrigue on how the guardian addressed her said yes in a form of a nod.

"If the person you love is in danger will you save her even it means abandoning everything and everyone else in the universe?" Vormund asked in a very serious tone.

Fate was taken a back by the question and she doesn't understand why but she instinctively looks at the woman under the tree for a few seconds before answering.

"Yes."

"(Sigh.) You didn't even think huh." Vormund said with a hint of sadness in his tone.

"But…" Fate continued. "But that will make her sad. Nanoha… the person I love will not like it if I sacrificed everything for her. She will definitely tell me to give up on her if it means saving others, she is someone like that."

"So you will give up her?" Vormund asked again.

"No." Fate answered firmly. "It is true that I probably won't be able to save her if the entire universe is my enemy but… I will never give her up. She taught me that every problem has a solution and if I can't find an answer alone, my friends will surely help me. As long as I don't give up everything will be alright. I have friends with me who will surely help me… no, help us whatever happens that is why even if we are face with a big ordeal I believe that we will surely break through it together. Definitely."

Signum, Vita, Subaru, Teana, Erio and Caro smiled at Fate's statement and stood beside her.

"That's the answer that I want to hear." Vormund said as he walks towards Fate. "Attaining something by sacrificing another will never grant you happiness whatever the circumstances. It is true that sometimes we can't avoid making a sacrifice but we should only accept it if there is really nothing more we can do and that time is not now. As long as there is still hope, I refuse to make that sacrifice. Magic is there to protect what means most to you. A power that we possess to make our wish come true. Those are the words of my master that's why I will believe in magic and put my trust in it and to you."

He took something out of his pocket and handed it to Fate.

"This is?" Fate asked as she looks at the object handed to her.

"That will help you take one step forward to getting back your happiness." Vormund said smiling.

"Nanoha..."

"Who is there?"

"Nanoha..."

"Fate-chan?"

"I'm sorry Nanoha."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I am going to leave you for now."

"Huh?"

"But I will definitely return to your side soon."

"Where are you going Fate-chan?"

"Wait for me, okay."

"Wait... Don't go Fate-chan... Don't leave me alone… Fate-chan… Fate-chan!"

As the rays of the sun shone on her face, Nanoha awoke from her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a vast sea meters near the place where she is sleeping.

"It was just a dream huh." Nanoha said.

She tried to move and regretted it instantly. Her whole body screamed in a silent cry of agony. She couldn't move a single part of her body without cringing in pain. She feels as if her skin is peeling off her body because of her high fever. She was also having a difficult time breathing properly. She moved her body to her side and grasps her chest tightly. Tears started flowing out from her eyes as she calls out the name of the person she needed the most.

"Fate-chan…"

Inside the Spaceship, Aegle

Commander Office

Two days after the contact with Alazne and Vormund

"Are you really sure about this Enforcer Harlaown?" Hayate asked.

"Yeah. It is a really difficult decision for me but I think this is the best." Fate answered.

Hayate felt the determination and conviction of Fate in her voice and decided to agree. In fact, she also agrees that this is the best and only option they have.

"I understand. I will arrange everything as soon as possible." Hayate said.

"Thank you very much Commander Yagami." Fate said.

"Formalities aside I still can't believe you agreed with this plan. Are you really okay with doing this Fate?" Hayate asked again.

"Yeah, sorry for worrying you Hayate." Fate said as she smiles at her best friend.

"Don't worry about it, if you're this serious there's no point in stopping you. Besides, I also think this is a good idea. Difficult but plausible." Hayate said as she stood from her chair and walk towards Fate.

"I will go back to Mid-childa with Shari today to prepare; I will be back as soon as I finish the preparations." Fate said.

"Okay, we will proceed with our operation the same as usual. I will keep you updated." Hayate said.

"Yes Ma'am." Fate answered while saluting to her superior.

Somewhere on the planet Aurantiaco

It's been seven days since Nanoha purified Daeira. The soreness of her body is still there but she can now move again without feeling pain in every movement. It took her five days of complete bed rest to be able to sit alone and six days to be able to stand. Now, she is standing at the shore, staring at the sea while holding Raising Heart in her right hand.

"Whole body scan complete." Raising Heart reported.

"Yes, thank you Raising Heart. Your findings?" Nanoha asked.

"External Injuries: Completely Healed. Magical Energy: 100% Recovery. Body Condition: 75% Normal. Linker Core Condition: Red." Raising Heart answered.

"I see. Just like I thought my linker core has inflicted some damage huh." Nanoha said in a sad tone.

"Don't worry, my master. I will always be with you." Raising Heart said.

This remark from her beloved device made Nanoha smile.

"Yeah, I know. Thank you Raising Heart."

"It's an honor, my master." Raising Heart said.

"Princess…" Vormund called out to his master as he emerges from the forest.

"Vormund. Where did you go?" Nanoha asked her guardian who just returned.

"I searched the forest for something to eat. Let's go back and eat dinner." Vormund said as he shows Nanoha some fruits. "You should stay rested until we pick up a signal from the other Items."

"Okay." Nanoha said.

Nanoha sat near the bon fire under a tree and watch Vormund prepares the food.

"Hey Vormund." Nanoha called out.

"Yes? My Princess." Vormund answered.

"What happened after I passed out?" Nanoha asked.

It took a few seconds before Vormund answered. They are still on the planet where they sealed the Holy Item Daeira. Nanoha wasn't in a good condition right after purifying the Item and the force from teleportation might worsen her that's why Vormund decided to stay on the planet temporarily.

"Just like what I told you a few days ago, after you passed out Fate-sama and the others tried to bring us to their ship. We fought a little and when I saw an opportunity, I concealed our presence and hid in this forest." Vormund said without looking at Nanoha.

"Just like that?" Nanoha asked.

"Yes. Just like that." Vormund said seriously.

A hum was all Nanoha made as she hugs her knee.

"Princess… are you somehow disappointed that I escaped easily." Vormund said when he saw his master sulking.

"Ah! Um… No... I didn't mean that. It's just that… I have always known Fate-chan to be the stubborn type so I was expecting her to give you a hard time just to get information on how to get me back." Nanoha said blushing.

"You are definitely a maiden in love." Vormund blurted out as he walked towards Nanoha.

"Jeez." Nanoha said as she punches her guardian on the shoulder.

Vormund couldn't help but laugh at his master.

"It can't be helped my Princess, I was just too strong for them you know. Plus Fate-sama didn't know that the love of her life was just in front of her being cradled by some stranger. If she knew, I doubt that even I can escape there unscathed. What do you call that again? Ah, I remember, the power of love!" Vormund said grinning at Nanoha.

Nanoha blushed yet again and hid her face between her knees.

"You can still go back you know... back at Fate-sama's side." Vormund said seriously.

Nanoha felt her chest tighten at the words spoken to her by her guardian. She shook her head with her eyes downcast.

"I will not go back." she said firmly.

"But – " before Vormund can say another word he was stopped by Nanoha's finger on his lips.

"That is enough Vormund." Nanoha said with sadness evident in her voice. "If I go back now, I won't be able to move as freely as I would like. If the bureau found out who I really am, they will definitely not allow someone like me to roam around without heavy restrictions; it will be the same with what they put Hayate before. They will not let me search for the Items without sending other mages beforehand. I won't let anyone get hurt if I can help it."

"Well, you are indeed a much rarer existence than Hayate-sama." Vormund said nonchalantly.

"Can you please not sound as if it doesn't concern you." Nanoha said.

"Hahaha you are right." Vormund said laughing.

Then, after a few seconds they both fell silent.

"Putting the bureau aside, you miss them don't you? Your friends, your family… especially Fate-sama and Vivio-sama." Vormund said breaking the silence.

Upon hearing Fate and Vivio's names, tears threatened to drop from Nanoha's eyes and once again she found herself hugging her knees.

"I do… I do! I so want to return to their side right now and hold them, and tell them that I love them so much but I can't. I miss them so much it hurts…it hurts but when I think about them getting hurt because of me…" Nanoha trailed off. "When they see me slowly weakening… slowly dyin – "

"You are not going to die!" Vormund shouted. "That will never happen. Don't ever say that again, my Princess."

"But it's reality. I don't want to admit it too but after purifying Daeira, I understand now more than ever that my body can't stand the process of sealing. Sealing a single Item took me a week to be able to stand and my body will just get worse as we seal the others, and we still have six more to deal with. We also don't have enough time to wait for me to recover because we don't know when the other Items will destroy a planet or hurt people. Al Hazard only had 4 months before it crumbled into extinction right after the Items became tainted, I… I'm scared! I don't know if I can seal them all! But if I fail everyone will… everyone will… " Nanoha said as she cried.

"Princess…" was all Vormund said as he put his left hand on his master's right shoulder.

Nanoha rested her head in Vormund's chest and felt strong arms hugging her gently as she cries her heart out. It was a different feeling from when Fate hugged her, it was like how she feels when her siblings hugged and comforted her. Familial love and concerned, a feeling that tells her that she is not alone.

"But… even if it hurts and painful right now, I will continue to walk this path. I will make sure that all the people that I care about will have a future… even if that future doesn't include me."

Vormund tighten his hold on his master and asked. "Will that make you happy, my Princess?"

"Yes, you will help me right Vormund?" Nanoha asked.

"That is not even a question my Princess. Of course I will. If that is your wish I will do everything in my power to make it a reality." Vormund said with conviction.

"Thank you and I'm sorry, Vormund." Nanoha said.

"But I also have my own wish. That is, for you to return to the side of your friends and love ones someday after everything is over. It is something that will make me happy, that's why I will definitely make it come true. Don't give up yet my Princess. You are not alone. You have never been alone… ever." Vormund said in a very serious tone.

Nanoha couldn't say anything more in front of Vormund. Her guardians' words are more than enough encouragement for her and she felt happy and glad that she has someone like Vormund beside her right now.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't give up yet. Everything will definitely be all right because I'm not alone. I can fight through this because I have you and Raising Heart with me." Nanoha said regaining her spirit back.

"Of course!" Vormund and Raising Heart said at the same time.

"And your friends and family is also with you my Princess." Vormund said.

"Yeah. They are aren't they. Always." Nanoha said as she smiles while looking at the sky above. "I am just a single person. I can't possible protect something as big as the universe but, I am not alone that's why I can still stand… I can still fight… I can still do my best!"

"Yes, that is right. Being scared is okay because no matter how strong and powerful you are; you are still a human being. That fear will be your guide and the courage that you will need to continue moving forward, back to the embrace of the people you love." Vormund said.

"Yeah." Nanoha said as tears flows from her eyes.

"Here." Vormund said as he gives Nanoha another bowl of fruits. "You should eat and rest a lot, so both our wish will come true."

Nanoha smiled, that signature smile of hers, as she reach the bowl of fruits that's being handed to her… but suddenly, a strong and painful wave vibrated inside her head and made her drop it.

"What wrong my Princess?" Vormund asked as he quickly kneels beside Nanoha.

"My head is throbbing… I feel like something is calling out to me." Nanoha said as she tries to stand.

Vormund looked at the Holy Items in Nanoha's wrist and saw them resonating to something.

"An Item is active. What do you want to do my Princess?" Vormund asked.

"You don't even need to ask… of course we're going." Nanoha said as she puts her white robe on.

"Looks like we won't be able to rest today after all." Vormund said as he also puts his blue robe on.

Vormund activated a magical circle and search for the location of the active Holy Item. Once he sensed its magical energy, he grasped it and set the coordinates.

"Coordinates set. Ready to teleport."

"Yeah. Let's go." Nanoha said.

Inside the Spaceship, Aegle

Commander's Room

The sound of the emergency alert woke Hayate up in her sleep. She got up on her bed and as she puts her uniform on a communication screen appeared in front of her.

"Hayate we received information that another relic has activated." Rein reported.

"Where is it located?" Hayate asked.

"In a planet called Altstadt." Rein answered.

"Altstadt?" Hayate asked.

"Yes. It's under the supervision of TSAB and was used before as the main base for trying out new technologies but a few years ago it was declared abandoned by the bureau and didn't allow any civilization to live there even now." Rein reported.

"What was the reason?" Hayate asked.

"We don't know. The reason wasn't included in our archives." Rein said.

"Is that so… I'm on my way there; I want everyone to be assembled by the time I arrived!" Hayate ordered.

"Yes ma'am!" Rein answered.

"Another unexplained report huh." Hayate thought to herself as she walks the hallway towards the bridge.

Hayate arrived at the bridge and saw Signum, Vita, Teana, Subaru, Erio and Caro with Fried already waiting for her.

"What's the situation?" Hayate asked her staff.

"The planet has been checked for dangerous elements but we didn't detect any magical signature. Living things or the unidentified relic." a man reported.

"What do you mean?" Hayate asked.

"Looks like the relic is concealing its presence. We can't detect any magical energy confirming that it really is in that planet." a woman said.

"So we are not sure if it is there or not. But we did receive information that it is in that planet right?" Hayate confirmed.

"Yes ma'am." Rein answered.

"I understand. All we can do right now is believe that information and trust that it's the truth. We will send a group of mages to investigate that planet." Hayate said.

"Mistress, let me and Vita go alone. She and I will be enough for an investigation; furthermore I also want to talk to that guardian again." Signum said.

"Me too. I want to talk to that master of his." Vita said.

"I understand what you both are feeling right now but I can't approve it." Hayate said.

"Why?" Signum and Vita both asked.

"Because I am the one who will talk to them." Hayate said.

"What?!" Everyone in the room said at the same time.

"Calm down everyone." Hayate said trying to calm her staff.

"The commander can't go and leave her ship to face the enemy alone!" Teana said.

"That's right. What are we going to do if something were to happen to our commander." Subaru said.

"I'm not going alone and I don't think anything is going to happen." Hayate said scratching her cheek.

"There is always something happening in the front lines, you should know that the best!" Vita said.

"That's not what I mean Vita." Hayate said.

"Then what do you mean Mistress." Signum asked seriously.

Hayate look at her guardian and said.

"I know as your commander that I shouldn't leave this place and just let you do everything for me but staying here won't help me understand our situation. It is true that all the information and reports you guys brought helped us a lot but they are things that I can only understand by being in the field. Plus I want to meet those two personally; I doubt that they will visit me here to have a chat." Hayate said.

"We understand your point but…" Erio said.

"It's still dangerous." Caro continued.

"I want to see what's happening down there with my own eyes. That is why I am going." Hayate said.

"In that case I'm going with you." Signum said.

"Me too!" Rein and Vita both said.

"No, you are not." Hayate said.

"What?" her guardians and device said at the same time.

"The Forwards are the only ones who are coming with me. You three stay here." Hayate ordered.

"Mistress! We won't agree with this." Signum said.

"I need the three of you to guard Aegle. Once we go in Altstadt, I'm sure a barrier will be cast and we will lose all communication. I need people to stay here to protect our ship and decide in my behalf if something does happen." Hayate said.

"But -." Vita said but was interrupted by Hayate.

"Enough! You three will stay here, this is an order." Hayate said.

Hayate walked towards Signum and Vita and placed each of her hands on their shoulders.

"Everything will be alright, have a little fate in me will you." Hayate said as she winks at her guardians.

Signum sighed in defeat, she knows that just like Nanoha and Fate her mistress is also a stubborn person. Once she decides to do something no one can stop her. She is still against it but decided to agree.

"I understand. If that is your order I will obey but I have one condition." Signum said.

"Condition?" Hayate asked.

"Take Rein with you. If you want us to let you go there I want you to be in your full gear as a mage." Signum said.

Rein flew near her Mistress and smiled at her.

"Okay. I understand." Hayate agreed.

"Okay, okay I'll also let you go but Hayate, be careful down there." Vita said.

"Yeah, I will. Prepare the teleport pads. Forwards, get ready to head out." Hayate ordered.

"Yes ma'am." Her staff and the Forwards said.

"Let us go, Rein." Hayate said.

"Yes, Meister." Rein answered.

On the planet called Altstadt

"This is strange; I can't detect any response from the Item anymore." Nanoha said.

"It might have concealed its magical signature when it detected our presence." Vormund said.

"You think so? Each Holy Item really does differ from each other huh. It's like it has different personality." Nanoha said.

Altstadt's timeline is different from Aurantiaco, in this planet the sun still haven't set. When Nanoha and Vormund arrived, they immediately lost the signal to the Item that's why the two of them are now soaring in the sky looking for its presence.

"Well you can say it like that. Each tainted Item have different reaction to their environment when they activate making them more dangerous than they are already are, plus even though we know that they have all activated we still can't detect them unless they are going berserk or being used by someone / something." Vormund said.

"In other words we can't find them unless we put a planet or someone in danger first." Nanoha said with a sad tone.

"Yes." Vormund said while looking at the ruins below them. "Just like what I thought, this is really "that" planet." he thought to himself.

"Is there something wrong Vormund?" Nanoha asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all. I am the one who should be asking that my Princess, are you okay? You shouldn't strain yourself too much." Vormund said with a worried look.

"It's alright, I am still fine." Nanoha said firmly.

"Really? You shouldn't be stubborn in this situation you know." Vormund said.

Nanoha couldn't help but giggle at her guardians' remark.

"I know. I am not being stubborn, I am really okay. My body is still sore in some places but I can fight." Nanoha said.

"If that's what you say I will believe you but remember this, What ever happens don't you do anything reckless like using a Holy Item before we seal the one on this planet. Because if you do, it might cause you your life. Do you understand my Princess?" Vormund said seriously.

"Yes, Yes, I understand Big Brother." Nanoha said in a teasing voice.

"I am the same age as you, you know. Actually you are older than me, so act like your age Big Sister." Vormund teased back.

The two continued to laugh and tease each other while they soar the sky looking for the Holy Item. Times like this let Nanoha forgets even for just a few minutes the ordeal that she is facing and the loneliness that she feels without her friends and family beside her.

Somewhere in the planet five mages arrived on the ground.

"Looks like they are here." Vormund thought to himself when he felt their presence. "My Princess looks like the TSAB Mages have arrived. I will place a barrier around the planet now to block their recording and communication lines."

"Yeah, I noticed them too but why? How did they know that a Holy Item is here so quickly when it's concealing its presence?" Nanoha said a little bothered.

"I have no idea my Princess but the fact that they are here means they somehow knew about it. What do you want to do?" Vormund asked.

Nanoha pondered on what to do for a few minutes before stopping in the sky. Vormund also stopped and waited for the decision of his master.

"Let's go and find them. We can't let them get hurt if they happen to find the Holy Item before us." Nanoha said.

"As you wish, my Princess." Vormund said with a smile on his face.

"Raising Heart if you will." Nanoha ask her device.

"Voice Changer Activated." Raising Heart answered.

"Thank you." Nanoha said as she puts a mask to cover her face.

The two haste to the location of the TSAB Mages hoping that they still haven't encountered anything that will put their lives in danger.
