I guess I felt the sudden urge to write. Go me (6/13/16)!

Sky's POV

I raise both fists up to the door and slam on it as hard as possible.

BAM BAM BAM "SETO!" BAM BAM BAM "WE NEED YOU!" BAM BAM BAM

The door is then opened and I narrowly miss punching Seto in the face. He didn't even flinch.

"Hey, Seto, we were just wondering…"

I stop because I finally looked Seto in the eye. I guess everyone else did too because various echos of 'wow' or 'dude' resounded at the level of a whisper.

"Um… Are you okay?"

Now that I looked he seemed to be heavily leaning on the door frame. His eyelids drooped low over his eyes and he looked like he was basically falling asleep.

"Hey guys. I-I'm fine…"

And then he fell right on top of me. I caught him, but struggled to hold him since all his weight was dumped onto me all at once. By no means was he heavy. I mean, Seto is a small guy. Although he's tall, the second tallest of us with Jerome the tallest, he's skinny, the skinniest of all of us, and can seem frail if he hides in his robes just right, robes that can basically envelop him, robes that he wasn't wearing which was odd… But still I was shocked and unprepared, so I'm not weak, I was just caught off guard, and don't underestimate Seto! I've never seen him use all of his power, but the (what he called) 'fragments' that I have seen are just wow. In that small body is a mass of power that is just...uh...there are no words to describe it so...uh...He's awes-formid-magnif-tonishing-timidating-midable-impress-wow-nificent-onderful! Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

"Uh… A-uh-a little help here, guys?"

The others seemed just as shocked as I was, but that didn't stop them from jumping in when I needed them. Mitch and Jerome each grabbed a leg, Quentin and Ian an arm each, Jason the head, and Ty and I (hey, that rhymed!) supported his midsection. We then laid him down on the couch. We were all worried, and our faces showed it. Seto seemed smaller than usual, frail like I said. His skin was clammy and cold, his clothes and belt wrinkled and crooked. Even his hair was thrown out of place. It stuck up everywhere and the band was barely on his head. And where the heck was his cloak? He never takes it off, even when it's hot.

"Oh! Shoot…"

I went over to one of the side tables and opened the drawer.

"Hey, uh, Sky?"

"Yeah, Ty?"

"What are you doing?"

I shut the drawer after pulling out a pencil and paper.

"Looking for this."

I wave the objects in my hands and then proceed to write. I then hand off the finished piece to the person closest to me, which was Mitch and he reads it aloud.

"Seto, we think your powers are awes-formid-magnif-tonishing-timidating-midable-impress-wow-nificent-onderful! From, Sky."

"Well, put your names on there. Don't you want him to have something nice for when he wakes up?"

The guys glance at each other and then Mitch motions for the pencil, which I hand him.

"I can agree with this description." He writes his name. The others seem to be in agreement and sign their names. I take the paper back, fold it in half, and write 'To Seto' on it in my fanciest handwriting. I then set the paper on the coffee table and put the pencil back. I look back at Seto and see him to be uncomfortable. I grab one of the pillows that we had moved and put it under his head. He also seems to be shivering

"Hey, Ty, can you grab a blanket?"

"On it."

Ty lightly jogs over to the closest closet and pulls out a blanket. He then lightly jogs back over and helps me lay it over him. Considering Seto's living room is set for eight people, there're only four chairs left since he took the couch. Mitch, Jerome, Quentin, and Ian had grabbed the chairs, so Jason, Ty, and myself were left with an actually really clean and fluffy purple carpet.

"Oh man, I hope he's going to be okay."

I sink to the floor as I spoke.

"He has to be."

Ty came down too.

"Yeah, it's hard to permanently kill anyone, especially a sorcerer."

I look up at Jason.

"What if he's not dead. What if he's just gone."

Jason sits down as I speak and took off his helmet, which he sat next to him. The others lower their heads as the gravity of this situation finally weighs down on us. Wow, I can still be punny when one of my friends is sick. Not sure if I'm heartless or master of puns. Oh, that's right, One of my friends is sick. So, we sat in silence, each with his own thoughts. Well, we were until there were footsteps coming up the stairs.

Katie's POV

I slowly open my eyes as they adjust to the new light levels. I sit up and see that I'm not in the energy field anymore. Actually, I'm in some sort of hospital room. I feel a cloth fall from my chest and try to grab it to pull it back up but miss. Strange, my coordination seems to be off. I also notice something even stranger. Am I taller? My hands are bigger!

"What the… What?"

I look down at myself and realize that the, what I now see as a cloak, was there for a reason. I grab it quickly and cover my self. Also, is the room really blurry? I squint but that barely does anything. I get off of the bed and almost fall.

"I'm… I'm taller! But how?"

I take a quick glance around the room and see a small table with clothes and a note on top. I slowly walk over and pick up the note.

Katie,

Due to your body not aging normally like mine, I believe that your rapid aging is caused by a temporal anomaly. That anomaly being you. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that your body needs to catch up with time. Don't be alarmed. I have left some clothes for you to temporarily wear. I have also stepped out of the hospital room to respect your privacy. Once you wake up and dress, you can find me upstairs in the living room.

-Seto

I slowly set down the note. Oddly enough, this made some sense. If my body became a temporal anomaly, then it would have to catch up with time, right? Oh well, I guess I should get dressed and find Seto. We have a lot to discuss. I drop the cloak I was holding around me and pick up the clothes on the table. Hey, this is an Advanced Sorcerer uniform from Magicae et Praecantatio Schola, I'd recognize it anywhere. I guess he trained himself after we had… Oh well, I should probably put it on.

The robes themselves are very similar to the robes I saw him in earlier. In fact, the cloak I woke up in looks like it's part of the Graduated Sorcerer uniform, which is what Seto was wearing. The Advanced Sorcerer uniform is still in Seto's colors, purple, black, red, and white. Actually, it's very similar to the Graduated Sorcerer uniform, just less extravagant. The colored areas were smaller and there were less pockets on the belt. Some of the clothes that are longer on the Graduated Sorcerer uniform are shorter. Also, a few of the colors were a different one, like the red on the chest is black.

I notice that the uniform itself is a little big on me, but not by much. I then clip on the Advanced Sorcerer cloak and grab the other cloak as I try to find my way to the stairs. My entire world is blurry, so not fun when I run into practically everything. I finally find my way to the stairs and slowly start up. When I reach the top, I'm greeted with seven blurred out (what I assumed were) heads in what appeared to be a living room.

"Uh, hi." I say as I slowly feel my way towards them.

Sky's POV

Jason, Ty, and myself had stood up with the others when the footsteps were towards the top few stairs. We looked over and saw a girl in one of Seto's old uniforms and holding his cloak. Her hair ran down her back and bangs were crazy long and in her eyes. I don't even think they could be considered bangs.

"Uh, hi." Her voice seemed confused, almost on edge as she made her way towards us squinting heavily as she basically felt her way towards us. I was the first to speak.

"Um, can you see okay?"

"No, not really."

I walked over and grabbed her hand.

"Here, watch that table. Mitch move, sit here."

"I think I need glasses."

"Probably."

We had all gathered around the girl and were pretty close. I guess she could see us a little better now too since she was squinting less.

"So, uh, I'm Sky."

"Tyler, but everyone calls me Ty."

"Jason."

"Quentin."

"Ian."

"Mitch."

"Jerome."

"Hey, um, Quentin, was it?" She squints harder towards him.

"Yeah?"

"Are you a fish?"

Oh no, I can't believe she just asked that. We all share a look of worry and glance at Quentin, who lets out a sigh.

"No. Technically I'm a Mudkip, but you just met me and practically can't see me so it's fine."

I lean in a little closer to her and drop my voice to a whisper.

"He gets a little touchy if you call him a fish."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

She turns towards Jerome.

"And you're a…"

"I'm a Bacca."

"Oh, cool. I take it everyone else is human?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Thanks, Jerome?"

"You got the name right."

"Okay. So, um, have any of you seen Seto?"

I ran a hand through my hair.

"How do you know Seto? Wait, why are you in his clothes? No wait, why were you in the basement?"

Her face dropped to one of fear.

"I, uh, I woke up here, he left a note for me telling me where to go and to put this on, and, um, he's my friend."

"Well, we're his friends."

"Oh, I see."

"Ugh, guys? What's going on?"

Seto had woken up. I let out a relieved sigh and turned around to the couch, where Seto was now sitting with the blanket next to him.

"Last thing I remember is answering the door."

"Well, you kind of collapsed on me so we brought you inside."

"Okay. Sorry about that I'm just exhausted. Hang on. Evigilo."

He had brought his hand to his face and purple whisps came out of it. He seemed much more alert now. He stood up and stretched.

"Sorry about that, I didn't have enough energy earlier to cast a quick revitalization spell. That's much better. Wait, what's the problem?"

He must've seen how awkward we were standing or maybe my face betrayed me, but Seto knew something was wrong. I stepped aside.

"Well, she came out of your basement a few minutes ago."

The girl squinted towards Seto.

"Hey."

"Oh no."

All criticisms are welcome.
