Meruin frowned. So that was it. She thought something felt off with her theory when she saw Liz fighting Chase. Well it was nice to know she was close enough at least.

"Of course Meruin is clever, I taught her," said Reina, with a hint of pride in her voice. "Although I must say I wonder how a young girl like you ended up with an elemental inside her. They don't usually like getting sealed.

"Oh, and it's impossible to control more than one Aeon," she continued, placing a hand on Liz's back to inspect the seal.. "Aeons are what make up this universe, and all of them serve different purposes. Having two of them is well, it's like trying to put water and fire in the same container; they'd cancel each other out. I mean, can you imagine Chase's Destruction working well with my Creation? Also, it's not just elements that allow you to reach an Aeon. Like I said, the highest form of any practice becomes an Aeon."

Straightening up, Reina smiled, looking satisfied. "There we go. I've improved your seal a bit. While I'm sure you never want whatever elemental is inside of you to take over, I'm sure you wouldn't mind the extra power. I've placed a sort of mental 'on-off' switch on the seal. It will allow you to control when exactly it can come out and when it has to come back in. The trade-off is that it's going to take some mental strain to actually activate the 'on' seal, so it while it won't come out without your consent, it's going to be a bit harder to draw out now."

Chase nodded, and her eyes flashed a brighter gold for awhile. For a moment, so did James eyes. Then it was done. The Golden Empress grinned. "I don't know why your brother placed that seal on you, but I imagine he'll be pretty pissed once he finds out it's gone," said Chase. Just like Reina, however, she added her own changes to his seal. "One thing: I've refrained from removing some of your abilities. Some where had to inevitably be destroyed, and all of the remaining ones have gotten weaker, but I imagine that you won't particularly care now, will you? Anyway, those that remain are abilities that are now completely your own: yours to use and abuse."

Mutt ran from the cave with Kevin, covering his nose and stumbling several times along the way. He couldn't possibly fathom how any object could smell so wretched! As soon as the group was out of the cave and away from the dastardly torch, much pounced a small dirt hill, an buried his snout within it. He rolled about several dozen times in rapid succession as many dogs do, until his coat was coated with clots of dirt and dust. He even went so far as to scoop handfuls of it over himself. One might have sworn he had just been sprayed by a skunk."AAAGH!" He would shout over and over again. "WHO WOULD MAKE SUCH A THING?!?!?!"

Kevin banged his head against a near by tree screaming. " THE SMELL IS RAPEING MY MIND!!!!!!" After about the fiftieth bang against the tree Kevin stopped and turned towards Mutt. "I don't know whatever did that , but I'm sure as HELL not going back there to find out!" He walks towards the school whipping the tears from the stench out of his eyes.

James smiled. "Thank you." He pulled out a deck of tarot cards, and he quickly looked through them before grinning. "Good. They're all here." He looked at Chase. "I promise to keep my end of the deal," he said. Of course, the tarot cards he was holding not only had the normal cards, but also had the extra cards that were in the Thoth tarot.

Liz nodded and lowered her shirt before hugging Reina "Thank you very much for all your help." She pulled back "I got the water elemental sealed inside me against my own will and thats why its trying to take over~, I had to drown for the ritual which was quite the wake up call one night." Liz grinned now in a more happier mood "I do have a final question though, would it be possible to have more elementals sealed within me. I know it would probably be risky like the ritual to seal a water elemental but its just an off thought."

Tyler smiled as he considered the information he was given. "Thank you for the information." He walked away but then noticed James who had what appeared to be Tarot Cards. "James right? I'm Tyler. Would you mind reading my fortune?"

James looked at him and chuckled. "Okay. But, unlike most people who can supposedly tell fortunes, I actually have powers with it. For me, the cards' pictures can become inverted. So I can do a true fortune telling," he said. "So my cards will tell your true fortune."

Reina was a bit surprised when Liz hugged her. Outside Meruin or Chase, she didn't usually interact with people. Still, she didn't mind and smiled a bit. "You're welcome. That must have been quite the ritual," said Reina. "As for having multiple elements sealed . . . well, as with all thing magic, it's theoretically possible, but in practice, it will be immensely difficult."

"Good. I hate fake fortune tellers." Tyler responded. "Tell me, what does my future hold in regards to power?" He asked.

James chuckled. "Well..." He sat down on the ground, then shuffled the deck and laid five cards face-down. "Sit down across from me, and I'll show you your fortune. This is a true divination though, so I have no idea what the cards will say until I reveal them."

Sol eargerly rushed over behind Tyler and sat down, "Me next me next!" he called out excitedly. He had never had his fortune read before.

James chuckled. "Jeez. You guys are lucky that I'm feeling generous today. I usually charge a lot for this."

Tyler sat down and smiled. "Money isn't an issue." He crossed his legs like James did and waited.

James chuckled. "Well, today's sessions are free." The first card he flipped up was the Magician, but the picture was upside down. "The inverted Magician. It's telling me that you have much more latent power that has yet to be unlocked." He then flipped up another. It was the Lovers card. "Hm...haven't seen this one in awhile. Your relationship with a specific person will be important to your improval." He flipped up the third card. "The death tarot. It's telling me that you will go through a significant change, though it's not saying how soon. It could be five minutes from now, or 50 years from now. Even I don't know." The fouth card was then flipped up. "The star. It's saying that there is something that will soon inspire you to try and become better, to become stronger. It may be a person, or an event." Just then, though, the last card flipped up on its own. James's eyes widened. "The world inverted...It's not saying anything, because it always means the same thing: Lack of completion. And you should know what that means."

Tyler frowned. "I see... Thank you for the fortune.' He pulled a thousand dollars in hundred dollar bills out of his pocket and dropped it in front of the cards. "This is a tip. Thanks for telling my fortune for real." He got up and walked to his room. He opened the door and walked into his room. He looked through his bookcase and pulled out a specific book. it appeared to be gibberish on the front cover but it actually said Master Water Magic Final Volume. He opened it up and slowly began translating it.

"Oooooooooh aahhhhhhh." Sol gasped as the cards came up and the final one flipped over on its own, "Me next me next." He cried out excitedly. Not that Sol had ever really believe in fortunes but he loved doing new things and this whole fortune thing looked like a lot of fun.

James simply stuffed the cash in his pocket then put the cards back in the deck and shuffled it again. "Okay. Sit down and we'll start."

Sol carefully sat down and took a deep breath and waited for the cards to reveal themselfs brimming with curiousity.

Reina clapped her hands to get Meruin and Chase's attention. "Well, why don't we get that picture now, right?" she said. "Also, I remember saying that I wanted Meruin to wear her old uniform. My, it's a good thing you didn't grow all that tall. I barely had to make any modifications."

The mage snapped her fingers, and at once, the plain dress Meruin was wearing was replaced with a more practical but very beautiful looking outfit. It was a sleeveless white tunic with golden trims, and a a golden sun design around the chest area. It had detached sleeves of the same color, and a skirt with an open center, revealing the snug white pants underneath. "There! Alright, now Chase, just go to her left. Good? One, two, three, cheese!"

A floating camera clicked and three of them smiled. The two masters would soon be leaving after this.

Kevin banged his head against a near by tree screaming. " THE SMELL IS RAPEING MY MIND!!!!!!" After about the fiftieth bang against the tree Kevin stopped and turned towards Mutt. "I don't know whatever did that , but I'm sure as HELL not going back there to find out!" He walks towards the school whipping the tears from the stench out of his eyes.

"Never ditching again!" Mutt shouted as he went with Kevin back to the school. Along the way, he stopped by his pile of fig leaves and rummaged through it until he found his gym shorts, and a shirt with the sleeves torn off. He slipped into the outfit and transformed before going anywhere near the school. By now, everybody had known he was a werewolf, but he still didnt need to walk onto campus all furry.

As he walked, he tracked massive amounts of dirt. Stumbling about pointlessly, the filthy Mutt managed to find Meruin taking pictures and had to choke down a laugh, which ended up sounding off as a half bark, half sneeze. He couldnt imagin meruin in such a uniform, and the sight before him just seemed funny. He didnt want to insult anybody, he was just taken of guard.

The headmaster walked up to the three mages and scratched his head ruefully, "Well i'm a little ashamed to be asking this of you ladies but we how shall we say... lacking teachers at the moment. I don't suppose one of you beatuiful ladies would consider staying and teaching a class for a bit. Your explaination of the workings of magic was phenomanal and i'm sure the students here could learn a lot. What'd say?" the headmaster asked leaning on his cane and looking up at them through his bushy white eyebrows.
