Chapter Twenty One
Corroboree Part 2: The Spirits' farewell
Bixlow strolled to the center, raised his arms wide and the heels of his feet together. "Come one, come all. Feast your eyes on my pretty babies!"
Two totem dolls fly up and started giving aerial acrobatics. The owl and bear dolls came from above and started flying around the mages. The two pauses on Areca and Anise and flies patterns around them. The bear leaves and heads for a grinning Raul and starts pulling off his bandages. As Raul struggles to keep his bandage another doll appears with was a pretty cat doll that had the girls giving out gasps of delight at its pretty dress. The cat doll quickly body slams the bear doll away from Raul.
All the mages laugh at the activities of the dolls. They looked on in interest as the bear ends up flying straight to Cruciferae's face. The guild master quickly catches the toy and held it up for Hikari. The cat doll moves on to fly around the twins and Solana. Bixlow grinned and bowed down at his audience. He held his arms wide with his palms up and the two totem dolls landed on them.
The three dolls that remained by the mages suddenly started glowing. The owl had a bright blue light around it. It then gave Areca and Anise a kiss on the cheek. Anise giggled and hugged the doll as Areca stared at it with wide surprised eyes. Meanwhile the cat doll was nudging Solana and the twins to form a line. Once they stood on the line, the pretty doll glowing in a soft red light started distributing kisses on each of their foreheads. Solana caught the scent of a familiar rose on the cat, stiffened and stared at it with wide disbelieving eyes as the twins hugged the doll between them.
The bear showed off the pale yellow light around him as he levitated in front of Cruciferae and to Raul. It turned back and floated to the cat and owl. Together the three dolls hugged Cruciferae as the guild master burst out laughing the cat doll kissed his cheek. Eyes now wide he looked on as the three floated to Raul. The three hugged the light mage as the cat gave him a kiss as well the owl patted his shoulder with his wing and the bear was ruffling his hair. Raul took a step back and muttered "Impossible." Cruciferae approached the baffled mage and together they stared as the three dolls hugged the Wolfsbane female members.
The dolls wove, duck and flew patterns around the Fairy Tail mages. They formed a line and bowed at them as if thanking them for something. The owl flew towards Lucy, Lia and Eshkale and bowed to them. The owl then flew to Lisanna and Happy and gave another bow. The three floated to Wendy and gave her a hug which left the sky dragon-slayer feeling as if three people had just told her their thanks and had hugged her. The three floated in front of Bixlow. The two totem dolls floated to the three and together the five flew around for a while. They bowed low at Bixlow, the seith mage also bowed down to them as if thanking them. The two totem dolls levitated around Bixlow.
The cat flew back to Solana and the twins, the owl went back to Anise and Areca and the bear flew to Cruciferae and Raul. Solana held up her hand for the cat to land on and uttered the name of the person who made it possible for her and her sisters to be here now. "Bellise-sama." The twins looked on in surprise as their sister cradled the doll who had now stopped glowing. Solana held up the doll and said "It's her rose scent." They sniffed the air around the doll and with teary eyes they hugged their sister and the doll.
The bear flew to Cruciferae and Raul. It quickly started ruffling Raul's crew cut hair, Cruciferae grabbed the doll and smiled down at it. "The clothes on this doll, looks a lot like Damian's favorite pieces of clothing, huh?" He asked this gruffly at the quiet Raul. The doll suddenly stopped glowing. The two men quickly look up to the still glowing doll before Areca and Anise.
The owl doll was floating in front of the two girls upside down. It also kept kicking its feet in front of them. Everyone sweat drop at the strange display. Anise whispered to her big sister "Nee-san, what do you think it's trying to tell us?" Areca stared at the wiggling feet of the doll and shrugged at her sister. Just then Bixlow laughed and approached the bewildered girls. "He wants you to have the two rings on his leg."
"Eh?" Areca and Anise exclaimed. They squinted their eyes and saw that the bird indeed had two rings on it. Cautiously, they took hold of the doll and carefully took away the rings. Once the rings were off the doll stopped glowing. Anise took hold of the doll and hugged it to her. Bixlow grinned and told the girls to read the inscription on the rings.
They read it out loud. "We love you. D. & K. Aconictus"
The two frowned and Raul quickly came near them and asked to inspect the rings. Raul closed his eyes and concentrated on the objects. He gave back the rings and gestured for the anxious Wolfsbane guild master to come near. "The ring. It has Derek's light all over it."
At his words Cruciferae closed his eyes and shook his head. "Raul, enough. I am better now you don't have to go so far as to say that this two are- they are-" The old man couldn't finish and merely gulped down.
Raul shook his head and grabbed the older man's arm. "Please. At least just look at them and this picture I found a week ago."
The guild master shook his head and step back. Raul shook his head and said "Please Father. Just look."
"Eh? Father? What-mmmph" It was Natsu who exclaimed this and was quickly silence by the women who were caught in the drama that was unfolding before them. Makarov, Gray and Freed sweat drop at Natsu whose face was now a purple color at the many hands that covered his mouth and nose. They turned back once again to the scene when Wendy gave out a "shhh".
Cruciferae stood still and stared at the lightning mage. "That's the first time you have ever called me father." He gave out a wry grin. Shaking his head he held up his hand to Raul.
Raul smiled, searched his pocket and explained. "I have long written a letter to each surviving relative Derek's wife if they had any pictures of her, Derek and their children. I received this a week ago from one of her cousins. She also explained to me that most of her relatives have long migrated to other towns."
Raul placed the object onto Cruciferae's outstretched hand. It was a miniature of a pretty woman. Her hair had flowers woven into them and she was smiling so happily. The painter had managed to capture the silkiness of her light brown hair and the beauty of her lavender eyes. Cruciferae held up the miniature and looked from the puzzled girls to the woman in the picture. They looked just like the woman. But Cruciferae still had doubts, seeing this Raul gestured for the guild master to turn the miniature around. He looked down and saw a name on the back. It read quite simply. "Kristine Zelphi" He close his eyes and remembered that for every letter his daughter-in-law ever sent him it always ended the same way. "You're loving daughter, Kristine Z. Aconictus."
Gasping for breath, he gave the miniature to Areca. The two sisters looked down and gasped "Mama!" The picture held a younger version of their mother. Thanks to Lia's power they were able to remember how their parents looked but not their names since the memories were from a time when they were still very young. They had also remembered that Nana wasn't their aunt but their babysitter.
Raul came closer to them and asked, "What does your father look like? What was your last memory of him?"
Anise was still busy staring at the picture so Areca decided to answer the older man instead. "He has dark brown hair and silver eyes. Our last memory that we retrieved from Lia-san was of him leaving us for a bit because he was going to visit his family. He left us with Nana who was actually our nanny. Before he left, he-he told us that when he comes back we'll probably leave to be with his family and hometown. He told us that- that his father, sister and brothers were all mages."
Anise spoke up while still staring at the picture. "When we learned that we had mages for relatives we were so thrilled. We thought that we might have magic to. Before he left he told us to listen to Nana and that she would keep us safe. Nana was a mage you see, Papa hired her to make sure nothing bad happened to us." At this tears started to fall down her cheeks. Cruciferae quickly hugged the two girls, who at the man's touch ended up crying more than ever.
Areca choked out, "You are Grandfather aren't you? Papa-papa died together with our aunt and uncle." She buried her face at the older man's shoulder. Cruciferae hugged them tighter and answered gruffly. "Yes, I am your grandfather. You have me and the guild. We are your family. And you still have your uncle Raul who has never stopped looking for you, even when all hope seemed to have disappeared." Cruciferae looked gratefully at his remaining son.
Solana and the twins were silently crying as well. Erza with misty eyes gave Solana a handkerchief. Pantherlily came and offered handkerchiefs to the twins who quickly hugged the Exceed and cried. Gajeel was patting a crying Wendy. Charle and Juvia both delicately blew their nose on tissues and laughed at each other. Freed was trying to comfort a crying Mirajane and Lisanna. Lia and Eshkale smiled at the reunited family. Lucy was trying to keep it all in with Happy by her side also trying not to cry. Bixlow was laughing with the two remaining dolls chanting "Hurray! Hurray!" Gray and Makarov were grinning at the whole scene. Levy and Bisca were crying softly with Alzack by their side trying to calm them down. No one noticed Natsu who was on the ground and appeared to have died due to lack of air.
Raul walked up to Bixlow. "It was Ajowan who killed them." Bixlow calmed down and nodded his head. Natsu revived and said "Let's beat the guy up!" Freed intervened his in a rune wall that only the authorities can enter. Let's leave it to Magic Council to deal with him."
Cruciferae spoke up, "I admit I want revenge for what he did to my family. But I can't afford to let my emotions get the best of me. I have no wish to be arrested and to lose the chance to be with my granddaughters. I'll trust the Magic Council to deal with him."
Natsu and Gray frowned at this. Makarov nodded in agreement to Cruciferae. Raul strode away at this Cruciferae spoke up "Don't do it Raul. The guild and your nieces need you more. Never forget what is truly important."
Raul clenched his fist and Bixlow patted his arm. "Your brothers wouldn't want you to do this. Especially Derek."
Raul frowned at the seith mage. "The souls in those dolls were Damian, Derek and Bellise?"
Bixlow nodded. "When I made a contract with them they wanted me to tell their families that they were alright but they didn't know who their family was."
At this everyone's eyes widened. Bixlow held up his hand, "These souls remain in our world because of a strong sense of duty that won't allow them to rest until they are able to fulfill it. When I saw Anise, Derek's memories flooded to me and him. Those dolls with you aren't just any ordinary dolls; they wanted to tell you guys who you were but now seith mages would have a hard time feeling them. So I reconstructed the clothes they used to wear when they were alive, the same clothes from the same fabrics of the original ones. It was hard finding the fabrics from which they wore when they were alive. I was just glad they were branded items."
"Why did you have to reconstruct it?" Lisanna asked.
Bixlow sighed. "Long ago the original seith mages needed the hair and items that which the soul's bodies were buried with to be able to strengthen the spirits they had contracted with. But this was harder than reconstructing the clothes since the spirits don't remember where they died and where they were born. Lots of seith mages spent the rest of their life time looking for it that they end up neglecting their original contract. Then a renown seith mage decided to reconstruct the items that they loved when they were alive to strengthen them."
"I don't get it. If they don't remember anything about them how is it easier to make the stuff they liked when they were alive, wouldn't they not remember those items as well?" A frowning Natsu asked. Everyone stared at Natsu in surprise. Gray muttered "For once you ask something useful." At this Natsu glared at him as everyone sweat drop.
Bixlow laughed. "Well you see the spirits are attracted to the things they liked when they were alive. Like those earrings that cat is wearing, there are only two of those earrings in the world. The first was bought by a powerful earth mage."
The twins stared down at the earrings and gasped. "You're right this is the exact replica of what Bellise-sama wore when she was alive."
Bixlow grinned. "It wasn't easy getting it but it worked after I was able to reconstruct and buy the things they loved back then. My spirits grew more powerful and our bonds deepen to the point I was able to use their magic skills."
"Eh? That's amazing Bixlow. But wouldn't that be dangerous? Using a magic that isn't yours to begin with." Lucy asked.
Bixlow grinned. "Your right it does. It takes me twice the magical power needed for a certain spell. When I first tried it, I ended up almost draining all my powers away and I had to recuperate for about a month." He snorted this last bit.
"Then how did you get these rings? Are they also a reconstruction?" Anise asked softly.
Bixlow stared at the girl and smiled. "Those are original. I found them at a pawnshop at the southern islands. The clerk told me a woman with two girls had pawned them for money so that they could leave and live at the mainland."
"Nana." The two sisters spoke at the same time.
The twins flew towards Bixlow and asked. "What about these two necklaces?"
"Oh that. After I learned the name of the mage who bought the earrings I figured it had to be my spirit so I contacted some people to find out if she bought anything. It turns out she had commission for two necklaces to be made and they had to be exact and identical. She was also asking around for the twin of her earrings. When the jewelers asked why she told them she was buying it for her three girls whose birthdates were coming up. I was lucky enough that the jeweler for the necklaces hadn't sold the necklaces, so I bought them. These jewelries are for the three of you." Bixlow said staring at the twins and to Solana.
"She would have wanted you to wear them and not the doll." Bixlow gently said to the twins.
"How did you know that it was us?" One of the twins asked.
Raul answered that. "Seith mages are able to communicate to the spirits whereas most people aren't able to even hear them. The silver fastenings on the cloak of the bear?"
"Oh that. The bear, I mean Damian, dragged me into a junk shop one day for a broken bracelet. Turns out a drunken mage left it to the owner thinking that the junk shop was actually a jeweler's he wanted it fixed, so that he could give it to his youngest brother Wolfie. The drunken mage abruptly left when the clerk and owner went outside all they saw at a distance was a dog who appeared to be walking as if it were drunk."
The whole place was silent after the explanation and then there was a snicker. Natsu was covering his mouth but they all could still hear his laughter. Natsu poked Gray and said "His brother calls him wolfie." Gray smirked. At this the two laughed, Raul smiled at the two younger mages abruptly their laughter died and they started shivering. Everyone else looked the other way pretending they didn't saw the dark dangerous aura around Raul.
Bixlow cleared his throat and continued. "They wanted you all to know they would always watch over you."
At this the Wolfsbane guild smiled. Cruciferae patted the two girls' shoulders and spoke to Makarov. "Mak, thanks for the help. Thank you my friend. If ever you'll be in need of help don't hesitate to call us."
"We'll do that." Master Makarov and Cruciferae shook hands.
The twins were saying their goodbyes to Pantherlily. "We'll miss you!"
Lily shook his head. "You can always visit us in Magnolia. If you do I don't mind at all showing you around the city. Also we Exceeds do come from eggs, if any of you end up finding a hatched or unhatched egg please take care of that Exceed for us."
The twins smiled and nodded. "We will and we'll definitely right to you if we find one or two!" Pantherlily smiled at them.
Solana was talking with Erza. "Thanks for helping me and everyone. We'll take and handle the Wolfsbane members who work for Ajowan. They wanted to torture the people here in Dark Cove."
Solana called for the twins, "Go and take away the Wolfsbane members under Ajowan and spread the word to the others that we're going home and that the master is safe. If they already know that the master is safe tell them to wait at the camp and we'll go home together for the celebration. Oh and take the ones tied up here with you." The twins saluted and became one with the wind. The mages who had been sitting on the ground were sucked in a mini tornado, and flew up to the air where they spun and screamed.
Levy and Bisca sweat drop. "I wonder if they were even fighting seriously with us." Levy muttered as she stared at the rapidly disappearing mini tornado. Bisca nodded glumly.
"Bisca-san, I think you were great back then. Th-thank you for getting us free." Alzack was looking at the ground blushing at this Bisca looked down as well and blushed. Alzack took a deep breath and murmured, "I was thinking maybe you'll ahm would like to go to dinner with me when we get back to Magnolia?" At this Bisca looked up her face very red and nodded vigorously.
Levy stepped away from the two as a light yellow background with colorful bubbles appeared around the two teens. As she stared wistfully at them, she felt a huge hand on her head. She looked up to see Gajeel grinning down at her. "You did good, shortstuff." Levy looked down and blushed. Gajeel started patting her head with force. "You used their weakness against them perfectly!"
"Eh?" Levy looked up surprised.
Gajeel smirked. "You used their weakness for the Exceeds and then you hid a bomb in the very thing they tried to protect. Gihehehehehehe." Levy glared at Gajeel she didn't want to remember doing such a mean thing.
Gajeel laughed maniacally and continued. "I know I told you that if you want my attention you'll have to fight with me. But seeing how cunning and resourceful you can get. Well it's kinda attractive too." Levy's eye twitched not knowing if she should be proud or insulted. As Gajeel smirked down at her, she figured what the heck.
"Ano Gajeel I heard that there was a competition of metal sculpting that's open to mages in a neighboring town near Magnolia. Maybe you would like to go with me and check it out?" Levy hesitantly asked.
Gajeel scratched his chin and asked "What's the prize for the winner?"
Levy blinked puzzled at the question. "We'll a year's supply of the metal of your choice and a rare book"
Gajeel laughed and patted her once again. "Alright I'll be your partner! We'll beat them all. I'll sculpt while you come up of what we'll make! We'll show them! Gihehehehehe."
Levy sweat drop, she just wanted to go there and watched but then if they'll work together they'll be able to spend more time together so she smiled up happily at Gajeel.
Solana smiled at Erza. "You're all invited to the celebration too." Erza smiled and held up a sword to Solana's throat. "I appreciate the invitation but there is one think I want to know if you only needed my help you could have just asked but you chose to trap me in a whole and then called for spikes that could have easily killed anyone else. Why?"
Gray, Wendy and Charle who were watching the two powerful women, saw the dangerous aura emerging all over Erza. Solana smiled and answered quite simply. "It was my way of greeting you." The three watching mages took an involuntary step backwards as the aura around Erza pulsed and widen.
Erza glared coldly at Solana. Solana smiled and spoke again, "By the way I sent you a present. I think it's already been delivered to your home now. It's called "Rosen Maiden Armor" It gives its wearer the ability to heal from the energy of the living nature around it without destroying or draining the thing's life. It also allows its wearer to become one with the surroundings and call forth the plants to fight for him/her. I also added the "Rose double sword" to it, one of the swords has the ability to reflect the enemy's magic depending on the magical power of the wearer while the other has the ability to create illusions depending also on the power of the owner. They are as sharp as any blade if at any chance the blade becomes destroyed all you have to do is sink them to fertile soil and they will be able to regain sharpness although not as sharp as that if it was restored by a professional."
The three mages admired Solana since around her long explanation Erza had slowly lowered the sword. The sword was now back in its sheath yet Erza was still glaring at Solana with intensity. Now grinning, Solana held up 4 photos to the requip mage. "A picture of the armor and the sword. Front, back and sideways."
Erza looked down at the photo showing the front of the armor. A mannequin was wearing the armor and holding the dual blades. Plated armor covered the mannequin's chest it was golden and had delicate leaf carvings in white gold; on the front was a short layered skirt of red and white that reached only mid-thigh. Looking at the other pictures she saw that it actually had a flowing train behind it although long it didn't reach the ground and stopped at the ankle. The train had the same red and white layered look as the skirt in front. She saw that the cloth was fashioned in the way it looked like soft pleated flower petals. The red 'petals' were always above the white ones. The stomach was uncovered yet looking at the side picture she saw there was a delicate weaving of silver and white gold leaves and stems. The neck of the mannequin held a delicate choker that dipped down to the mannequin's cleavage; the choker resembled the weavings of leaves and stem at the side. Looking carefully at the legs of the mannequin she saw that there was a careful netting of silver threads that served as the stocking at the foot were white ankle boots with the heels and lining the same red as the skirt. The blades were simple and basic in form; she saw that the hilt had carvings of leaves and that the blade also held carvings twining vines that crawled to the tip of the blade.
Gray, Wendy and Charle held their breaths as Erza continued to stare down at the picture. Suddenly the aura disappeared and Erza hugged Solana saying "Thank you for the beautiful armor!" Gray, Wendy and Charle face planted on the ground not expecting that from the requip mage.
Anise and Areca were thanking Happy and Lisanna for all their help. Lucy was saying goodbye to Lia as Natsu argued with Eshkale. Lia smiled and spoke to Natsu "I told you I'll give you a prize right? I could awaken the memories you have of your real parents if you like."
Lucy stared at the frowning Natsu. After a while Natsu answered. "Maybe someday I'd like to know them but right now all I want to do is find Igneel. If you have any idea where he is you can tell me that."
Lia smiled at him. "I don't know anything about your Igneel but if ever we do find out anything I'll tell you right away." Natsu nodded at this. "Well then see you when you call for me, Hime."
"Eh? Did you just call me-" Lucy shook her head. "Somehow hearing her say Hime is weird. I'll have to ask her to just call me by name next time, right Natsu?"
Before Natsu could reply Makarov spoke up, "Oi! It's almost dawn. I have to tell you all something. Regardless of what you did here if you don't get to the inn before the dawn comes, you'll get 'that'" Master Makarov laughed uproariously at this.
"EH?" The Fairy Tail mages exclaimed in shock.
"It's true. You guys should go now." Mirajane said and smiled beatifically. Immediately everyone ran from the place as if their worst fears were chasing them. The Wolfsbane mages sweat drop as they watch Makarov mutter to himself about the girls and outfits.
Mirajane came near Master Makarov and said "Master, I'll get angry." At this Cruciferae shrugged and everyone went their respective ways with Makarov having a perverted look on his face as he walked towards the inn with Mirajane by his side.

In the spirit world, everyone had just congratulated Lia and Eshkale for coming back permanently with them. Upon making her way to her celestial home, she hummed a happy tune while carrying her three most prize possessions in the pouch. Eshkale was walking and whistling in accompaniment beside her.
Upon reaching their simple house with the autumn orange roof and the finely mowed lawn, Eshkale sighed in happiness to be home with his dear friend. Their home was known in the celestial world for at the back was an orchard that had trees and plants ripe and ready to be picked or eaten.
Smiling Lia took out the set of keys with the sapphire leaf keychain. Before she could put the key in, the door opened and a pink-haired lady in a maid outfit was greeting her.
"Nee-san. Welcome back home!" she placed the keys back inside the pouch and hugged her younger sister tight.
Smiling Virgo hugged her back. "Did you like hime?"
Lia smiled and answered. "Yes, she is everything you told me she would be."
Eshkale came forward and bowed to Virgo. Virgo smiled down at the creature. "She is something, for seeing us and treating us like people, I suppose. I am just glad we are now reunited."
Virgo nodded and turned back to Lia. "Nee-san, Loki-nii is organizing a party in celebration of you joining us. Eshkale, Gemi and mini are looking forward to meeting you. I told them you know the best stories and they want to hear some from you."
Eshkale nodded. "Very well, I shall educate them. You have been telling them stories? Like what?"
Virgo smiled. "I have mostly told them about the legends and myths of the human world and here in our world."
Lia gave Virgo another hug. "Come let's get in the house and cook like we used to before the Spirit King asked me to stay in the palace to watch over and regulate my time in the human world and here."
Once they entered the house, Lia quickly excused herself wanting to put her stuff in her room. When she arrived in her room, she quickly took out the three items that housed Eshkale during her exile/learning experience. She placed the keys beside a lamp. She fingered the stone imbedded in the leaf form; it was a present from James and his father their way of welcoming me to the family officially. She smiled and took out the diary, flipping through the pages. Finally, she took out the photo container. She opened to smile down the photographs in it, on the left was a painting of her and Jeanne when she was still a child. On the right was a family picture of Jeanne carrying a baby James with her husband beside her. She placed it on the writing table and beside it was James' diary.
If she had one regret it was that Virgo and Jeanne never had the chance to meet it each other and yet she knew if they did meet they would have hit it off perfectly. She surveyed her room and stared happily at her most prize possessions.
She suddenly remembered her conversation with the spirit king.
FLASHBACK
(conversation only)
Spirit King: Why the photographs?
Lia: Not the photographs but the container. To remind me that for everything a person or spirit does there is always a reason for it and that I have no right to hastily judge them.
Spirit King: The diary?
Lia: To remind me that there are humans who do see us as they're equal. That humans are capable of being friends with spirits.
Spirit King: The set of keys?
Lia: My hope that someday, I'll find a stellar mage who is able to be my friend and contractor.
FLASHBACK
She quickly went down to spend her time with her own family.

At the inn Lucy and the others were able to arrive just in time to the inn. They were all huffing and puffing on the ground.
"I can't believe that old man, after what we went through." Gray chokes out.
The others nodded at this and stared at the stage when Master Makarov arrived. They saw that he was looking disappointed that they had arrived on time. Everyone tried to stop Natsu and Gray from doing something stupid.
The guild master ignored the commotion coughed and spoke, "Right, well to those who failed they will have to wear different costumes for the cosplay café just opened in Magnolia. You'll be the waiters and waitress. Jason, the Weekly Sorcerer reporter will be taking your pictures as you work and advertise it in the magazine." At this the reporter swung out his camera and started snapping photographs. "You'll be working at the café part-time for two months."
A reasonable number of mages ran away after the last bit.
Makarov continued on "Oh and you can try to run but you can never hide. (Maniacal laughter) Ahem. I am proud of those mages that were able to help out a fellow official guild and still manage to arrive here in time. It is imperative that you must never forget your true goal and job even when you have helped others." Makarov stands with his arms crossed.
Erza smiled happily at this. "Master, you were only trying to make us learn an important lesson with this test." Gray and Natsu shook their heads behind Erza while everyone else sweat drop at this.
Just then Levy and Bisca stared at the two totem dolls that were floating near them. "I feel bad for Bixlow-san, he lost three of his spirits." Bisca said to which Levy nodded in agreement.
Just then they heard Lisanna say "Nee-san, I feel bad for Bixlow he lost three of his spirits and now he only has these two." Everyone stared at the two dolls in her hand and at the two other floating dolls beside Levy and Bisca.
Finally, Lisanna came up to Bixlow. "Bixlow are there four floating totem dolls?"
"What? Of course not, babe." Bixlow turned around to show that he was holding one. "There are five of them!"
Eyes wide, Lisanna asked. "How did you get three others?"
Bixlow laughed and then answered. "Oh that there are a lot of spirits here. When we were running three powerful ones wanted to make a contract with me. Oh and the spirits sure had fun with the test of courage as well."
After Bixlow's statement everybody from the guild ran away, far far away.
"COOOL! Ghosts do exist!" Jason screams while taking pictures of Bixlow and his dolls as well as floating fireballs by the still dark forest.
A/N: Let's dance to Fiesta by +PLUS! I've finish the story! Woohoo! I hope everyone is alright. It seems the world now is full of typhoons, earthquakes, and hurricanes and such.
