Returning to the Magical World was something Dissain or his familiar Bethel didn't look forward to at all. Not because on the way there they had to share a ride with candidates and their own familiars, or the fact this SMALL journey was classified as a field trip. All supervised by what had to be a drunk Jewel unable steer. Leaving the driving of the item they used to shy Ava acting as Jewel's assist the whole time. Making the arrival to a certain location within the Magical World up to Ava. Since Jewel under influence had forgotten where they were going for this appointed fieldtrip.
Leaving Ava to re-plan for whole trip since drunken Jewel still had no regulation of what she had planned her self. The only thing that came to Ava's mind was she needed to refill her potion ingredients. Gathering them on her own would take her weeks since materials she used could be found within the Magical World. She had an extra pair or hands with two of them needing to prepare for Exam.
"All right all here is what we're doing..." She tried to swallow her shyness when if came to facing these children she needed to come to know. As she started to dressed them ignoring Toffy's foul mood as she tried to speak loud enough. Telling them they were to individual gather certain types of potion ingredients.
"Do we really have to do this?" Toffy wasn't up for this.
"Give it a chance." Lolli couldn't wait.
"Think of this as a way of getting ready for that exam you'll end up taking." Dissain suggested.
Toffy had to think about this one since what her brother was talking about had to do with something their mother partook in. She couldn't remember exactly what was told to her since she never listened to what was told to her. Leaving her to pull her puppy eyes expression on to her brother for more information. On a subject that was brought up by him since his memory was acting correctly. Just to be pulled from her form of pleading by Viktor reminding to her stay focus. Bethel on other the hand just sat on his master shoulder wishing Toffy would quit the drama queen act.
Leaving Lolli and her own familiar to stand wait for Ava to further hand over three baskets filled with single sheets of paper. Were handed out to them with instructions of them to individual gathering everything. Had to return to this location before the crescent moon set in the sky.
"So stay safe and be careful." Ava tried to be heard.
Before she could see them off she had to tend to tipsy Jewel chatting to some tree-like it was one of her flings. Leaving the three teenagers with allowed help from their own familiars to work on their own. Not wanting to waste time Toffy and Viktor were the first ones to split off from Lolli and Dissain. Leaving them to watch her disappear into the lush foil of a forest Lolli's father once lived in.
"I never figured out where she gets her insaneness from...mom or dad?" Dissain asked him Bethel.
"I say she takes after the young version of your mother." Bethel squealed.
Lolli agreed with Bethel that Aunt Chocolat was behind Toffy's own brand of crazy that made Dissain laugh. As he ended up escorting Lolli to the tree line wishing her good luck before he disappeared from her view.
"Lets get this over with..." Lolli tightly clenched her basket's handle.
Looking for Red-eyes Black Dragon hors was hard for anyone since the fire-breathing lizard usual was awoke during the day. Leaving them to look for cast off horns instead of going through process of trapping the beast, and removing it's horn by sawing it off. Wouldn't be hard for person looking for item if the knew they're way around this forest. That person was known other then Dissain and Bethel looking for those horns. Its just them being back in Magical World wasn't pleasing matter for either one.
"You think he knows we're here already!" Bethel squealed concerned.
"Knowing Ferice..." Dissain looked ahead, "Who knows."
Talking about the main reason behind Magical World was something Dissain was still trying to forget. Since why he left was because of a scandal in the form of a sexual fling he had with someone. That someone was the eldest son of Captain's Queen Royal Guard years older then him. He knew the same sex relationship with someone older then and high in social latter would get him trouble. He just never knew how bad and was glad Jewel was willing to allow him independently study Magic under her roof. Allowing distancing him self from a person he thought he loved, and thought loved him in return.
"Let's just look for these." Dissain showed Bethel the list.
This made the mouse forget about the wall of muscle that his master once held close to his heart. Crawling to top of Dissain's head to he could get a better view of where they were to locate possible item. What his little eyes lay upon was familiar patch of hair with red coloring made him leery.
"Um..." Bethel tugged on strains of Dissain's hair.
Knowing the hurt person he was pointing out and re-directing attention too could be who he thought he was. Didn't stop the mouse from convincing him master to at least check on the unmoving person. That Dissain decided to do to get Bethel to stop bothering him so he could get back to search. This had him climbing through some heavy foil toward patch of redden hair Bethel spotted. Each step he took toward this harmed person the image of someone he still loved took form within his still healing heart.
A body like harden iron got this person the nickname of Wall of Muscle because he was unstoppable physically in a fight. The clothes and boots worn by this person were molded or tailored to sculptured form. Went with his natural looks of boyish style hair cut color of chestnut with sky color eyes and slightly tan skin. Would make any woman that gone through puberty swoon with pleasure. Wasn't enough, vast knowledge of combat and weaponry spells more then impressed anyone.
"Just adds to the pain." Dissain waved that image away.
He had to ignore the aching pain in his heart of hearts because it missed the person he once laid with. Where he forced him self to focus to get pass hanging vines and large leafs he pushed out of the way. To only came face to face with a few tree branches that blocked him from the trials end. Gave him the gave to put to use his Baki Rose set by using one of the eight options he had pick from. Had him reaching up toward his left sleeve where his wand was well hidden from strangers' eyes. Where he barely touched a chain made of glass with 8 links hung on the end. His fingers brushed one of these 8 links to bring fourth a sword in very shape of budding rose.
Handle he took hold of was a thorn few stem colored the lushes green leading up to hilt beg mixture of thorns and pedals. Surrounding larger pedals that swarmed around a single blade made of elongated pedals. Almost pink colorings beside multi shades of green made the blade stand out. He would end up using to cut down the branches with a few slashes to clear the path he was on.
"Why do I always forget how good with sword you are?" Bethel asked Dissain.
"Thanks to those lessons from dad." Dissain cut the last branch.
The joyful memories of how to handle or use a sword came from times spent with his father, Pierre, lasted minutes. When the sight of someone Dissain thought he left behind in this world appeared. What they found was severally injured familiar face covered blood and gashes that needed to be treated. His torn apart clothes were covered in dirt and further soiled to hem line. Leaving him in an unconscious state to anyone like Bethel and Dissain to find like RIGHT NOW.
"I knew he would show up!" Bethel was no help.
"Just go get help." Dissain allowed his sword to return to his wand's chain.
Not like Bethel was to argue with his master knowing the person they had found needed treatment. Off his master's shoulder he went for the dirt covered ground before running off to find Ava, or Jewel. Leaving Dissain to handle the person before him revealing their name.
"Damn it...Ferice..." Dissain set his basket down, "You always knew when mess my plans up."
He then ended up kneeling down to check the damage out of this Ferice's body to make sure he wasn't hurt badly. Making him completely forget about the assignment that was given to him by Ava. Figuring that Toffy was going to rub her accomplished assigned in his face when she found out about this. Not like he had to worry about Lolli since the girl would want to be here to help him. Their familiars weren't going to be any help since Lolli's frog still hadn't given a name, and Viktor was practically blind.
"At least this beats Lolli seeing me naked." Dissain couldn't help but laugh about it.
"...Di!" This Ferice mumbled.
Before Dissain knew it a hand from this Ferice's side reached out toward his face in slow matter that seem like torture. Within inches of one of his cheeks the his fingers would stop trembling in painful state. Would not once touch the blushing face of Dissain as he was called Di repeatedly in soft voice. Was where Dissain fought the urge to lean toward that hand and that would trance his face.
"Conserve your energy until help comes...sir." Dissain lower the person's hand.
After he placed the same hand back beside Ferice's side without further interaction between them. Had him sitting back needing to think of something to do before anyone showed up. Had him choosing to look for Ferice's wand since it seemed to now be on his person. Dissain ended up turning away from Ferice to look at the surrounding area if he could spot it. What he eyes laid on was just more and more plants that hadn't been trampled over by him and Bethel.
What his eyes laid upon was the item he been looking for covered in dirt and blood with scratched surface. He did have to get up to retrieve thanks to one of his icy breeze spells from one his wand. That lightly blew what looked like a damage wand over to his out reached hand taking hold of it. He picked up and placed in his basket before inspecting it to see if their wasn't any real damage. Leaving him to spent a few more hours of loneliness if wasn't for yelling from Ava and Lolli.
"THIS WAY!" Bethel's voice brought hope to Dissain's ears.
"Seems you'll be out of here In one piece." Dissain addressed Ferice.
All he got was a goofy expression from Ferice calling him Di before his body started to warm up. Would go unnoticed until someone got close enough to feel his forehead and get quite a shock.
The ride back to the human world from Magical World was something Dissain found soothing instead of nerve racking. Between Toffy's endless string of comments about how she finished first. Would make anyone want to not pay attention to her ranting and raving about her amazing talent. Like Lolli or her own brother who were to busy making the ride back comfortable for their guest. One was making sure bandage wounds on this Ferice were secure and tightly placed. Other kept a cooling spell on Ferice in tune with the guy's bodily functions to keep his fever down.
"We're lucky to have found him like we did." Ava tried to sound positive.
Jewel ended up telling Ava and Toffy to keep it down as she held her head wondering what hit her so hard. She was now regretting heavily drinking that day with one of her human flings prefer this. Didn't mean she disapprove of the way Ava came up with alternative plans to the fail fieldtrip. She just wished she could remember how they arrived with out crushing with the state she was in. Aside from the fact she was able to make the right choice about being the hurt Ferice with them.
"When we get back," Jewel slurred. "We need to get a hold of his mother."
This was something Ava told Jewel she already did using one of her lower level spiritual beasts before they left. Not like a tipsy Jewel cared in the state of mind she was in wanting to rest when she gets home.
