After arriving at Cloud Tower, the students were beyond tired and headed straight to bed after receiving lecture from Ms Griffin about messing with fairies. However she merely gave them a small wink. Once everyone was in bed Ediltrude and Zarathustra sneaked into the Mayhem class.

The magic mirror however was broken so instead Ediltrude grabbed one of the crystal balls, set it up then started the spell:

Amnari Re'cai
Invacatem thy
Mentali

The ball began to glow, finally Zarathustra finished the incantation:

vediamo nella sua testa
e nel suo pensiero rompere
il suo muro di ferro forte
e lasciare i suoi ricordi scuri versare

An image appeared into the ball "It's working!" exclaimed Ediltrude. Zarathustra let out a low grumble 'Obviously it works; it was after all my spell!'

The two sisters stared into the images that were shown to them:

Griffin was washed up onto the beach, her dress was ripped, arms cut and bruises were all over her face. "Get back here!'' she turned around to see an angry man with a rope in his hand, an evil glint shone in his eyes. "Leave me alone! I don't want to hurt you!" she cried desperately.

"Nice try witch! I won't be fooled by your tricks" he laughed. "Nope but you will be fooled by mine!'' they looked up to see a young blonde boy. Smirking he shot three energy blasts at the witch hunter knocking him into the tree. "You ok kid?" he asked slightly amused.

Griffin scoffed "I'm fine, you do realise that I can defend myself blondie!" "I like you kid. What's your name?"

She looked uneasy "What does it matter!" he laughed "Alright but if you don't give me your name then I will give you one… Griffin!" "What?"
Snickering he replied "I told you!" Griffin sighed "I'll tell if you tell!"

He smiled "My name's Victor but everyone calls me Valtor!" Griffin's eyes widened "Well… My name is Marcie but… I like Griffin, so just call me that!"

He stopped smiling "Are you Princess Marcie of Helmish?'' Griffin/Marcie sighed "I was until my family died and the planet was destroyed!" Valtor took her hand "So you know who I am, I am sorry about your kingdom and family! Mine met the same fate last year!"

Griffin smiled "I'm sorry too." Valtor grinned slightly "Well we were betrothed but that was to unite two kingdoms so how about we be friends and if we turn into more than just friends then we will fulfil our parents' wishes!"

Griffin nodded "Alright but don't ever call me Marcie and I won't call you Victor. Those were the names given to us when we were royalty by our parents, now, just like them we are dead and this is the start of our new life as Valtor and Griffin!"

"Deal! Come on Tharma will be waiting for me, she's not patient though!" "Who's Tharma?" "She is a member of a coven of witches who saved me during my planet's destruction. She and her sisters took me in and I know they will take you in as well!"

The two headed into the forest where a tall, skinny lady with curly hair stood "Valtor! Where have you been?" she stopped when she saw Griffin "Who is this?" "Tharma this is Griffin, she's a witch who had to deal with Jager! But she barely needed my help!"

Tharma groaned "That idiot…what am I going to do with him! Well Griffin, it seems you are quite the little daredevil! Where do you live? I'll walk you home seeing as you helped Valtor?" Valtor's jaw dropped "But I…" "Valtor the odds are she kept her cool and you immediately shot at him?" Griffin giggled "Were you watching?" Tharma chuckled "No! I just know that my habits have been picked up by him!" 'Girls' he thought.

"Thank you for the offer Ms. Tharma but my parents died last month, I don't really have a home!" Griffin stated. Tharma smiled "You can come with us if you want? My sisters will alright with it and seeing as I am the one paying the rent I choose who gets to live with us!"

Griffin smiled "I'd like that very much!" Tharma nodded "Valtor said you were a witch, so my sisters Belladonne, Lysliss and I will help train your powers and maybe you can show Valtor a thing or two!"

The flashback ended, neither twin said a word, Ediltrude began searching the books in the room. "You are totally disorganizing my classroom! What book are you looking for!" Zarathustra practically screeched.

"The Helmish! I heard about it before and I heard about the deaths of the royal family, I just need the book to remember what happened!" Ediltrude replied. "Why?"

"Because I remember hearing about a curse that was placed upon the family and if I am remembering the curse correctly it will bring the ancestrals back to life!"
