Transe

Sasarai and I, we are this year in fourth year of the small class. Tione isn't our teacher anymore. Our teacher is another Sister of the Earth. She's called Cantarine. Today, Cantarine came to seek Sasarai during the sport lessons of Dahlia and he leaves.  I wonder why, we didn't do anything silly recently... It worries me.

As soon as the bell sounds, I leave  without removing my sport clothes. I hide near the director office, where Sasarai is. He didn't leave yet, but I don't dare to approach too much. I can't use my magic either, the other priestess would feel it, and they would discover my Rune. They should not. _
Klaus joins me. He always knows when something happens and we await Sasarai. When he leaves the director office, we can see that he wants to cry. Then I take Sasarai by the hand and I drive him in my room to discuss quietly.
Jilia: Sasarai, what happened?
Sasarai: There's a Earth great demon, and they want that....  that I go alone.... to... to kill it...!
Sasarai starts to cry, but I understand what he says.
Sasarai: I ... don't..... want .. to go! I don't want.... to go alone... like the last time... I'm afraid ..
Jilia: Don't cry, Sasarai, we will go with you. Right, Klaus?
Klaus: .............. _
Jilia: We will help him! _
Klaus: Yes, but don't speak so loud, there are.... _

The door opens abruptly on two girls who say: "We comes to help Sasarai too!!"

They are classmates , Cherez and Ghamina. They're always together. Two good magicians, but they're only two small ordinary girls. It would be too dangerous for them... _
Jilia: It's too dangerous. _
Cherez: And what? It's dangerous for you too! and I'm as strong as Sasarai in Suido (harmonia martial art for magician) !
_Jilia: Klaus, say them that's dangerous! _
Klaus: Mmmmm, it's a very good idea... _
Jilia: Klaus? _
Klaus: We need your assistance, both of you, but you must promis that you will never say anything to anybody. It's promised? _
Cherez: Yes, promised! _
Ghamina: it's promised.
_Klaus: Then listen to what we will do....

After Klaus explains to the two young girls what they had to prepare, he gave them rendez-vous behind the game area. Then they left and we stay all the three. _
Jilia: What do you have in your head, Klaus? We doesn't really need them, I can do myself what you said them to do. _
Klaus: I know, but you will have something of more important to do. Jilia, Sasarai, it's serious. I asked Rune, and I discovered that the demon was summoned by somebody.
Sasarai: Somebody? Why? _
Klaus: undoubtedly somebody who wants to kill you, Sasarai. _
Sasarai: But why... I didn't do anything wrong... _
Seeing that Sasarai is loosing his confidence , I shake him a little. _
Jilia: Don't worry. I will take care of this malicious men, and you won't have to worry anymore! _
Sasarai: It's true? _
Jilia: True! Go, we will prepare !
 

After a few minutes, we gather behind the game area. Cherez and Ghamina brought back Haku, a boy in fifth year class, like Klaus ask them. He's  strong in teleportation. Everyone has his magic wand, and Sasarai has his crowned lance, Diamantine. We didn't warn Tione, she will worry too much.
What worries me, it's that we will miss a lesson....
 

When Klaus gives the signal, Haku teleporte us in the neighbor forest, where the demon was seen. Klaus gives his last instructions. _
Klaus: especially, you stay together, Ghamina and Haku. Cherez, you stay with me and Sasarai and Jilia will be together. Sasarai, you will attract the monster, since you're teh faster runner. Ghamina and Haku, you will tighten the trap. Cherez and me, we stay not far from Sasarai to help him if there's a problem. Jilia, you go further, to run after the demon if he try to escape. Understood?

Everyone make sign that yes. The three children aren't reassured, but they don't give up.

I leave alone. To tell the true, my real mission is to seek the human who's summonig the demon. The image which Rune gave me isn't clear, but I'll be able to find him, he can't be distant more than 900 meters of the demon. Very quickly, I find the weak trace of his magic and I run towards him.
He's there! He's... He's an Earth Priest?????  I don't understand... Klaus feel my undecision and recalls me his order. I must get rid of him to protect Sasarai. _
Rune, please, lend me your force to beat him, I must save the Earth. _My eyes take a red color while the strenght flows into my body. The priest who's concentrated in his incantation doesn't felt my magic... but somebody of other located it...!! _There is  another person not very far from this priest... Quickly, I must kill him before the other intervene!!! _The urgency of the situation stimulates Rune.In a flash, I leaped out of my hiding-place and I launch my claws, sharper than blades, on the throat of the priest. A flood of  blood spouts out and he dies. Rune says to me that he died. He won't hurt Sasarai anymore. _
Now, the other person, where is he?...... there! He saw me killing the preist! I must.... analyze! _Ah, error, there're two people, but the second is hidden. They're priests too, but their dress is red... they are priests... of theCircle?! They're people who have a small sister of the circle encrusted in their body? _Ah, then, the one I don't see is the Shade. And the man... no, the woman I see, she's the Circle. She analyzed me too. She isn't in fighting Transe. She don't seem to attack... what could I do?

I feel that Klaus and the others began the fight against the demon. It's locked up by the trap of Wind and Earth, but they aren't able to kill it. Klaus calls me, he needs assistance. I disapear quickly in the bush, still under the Rune power. But I left a spell behind me, in order to listen the red priests.
The woman: You saw it, Alexandre, this child... she was in Fight Transe. She's so young.
Alexandre: She can master her Rune really well, but she isn't registered among the carriers of Circle. Do you manage to see something, Jade?
Jade (the woman): No, She manages to hide her identity against my Rune. _
Alexandre: But thank to her uniform, we can say that she's student in Blue-Stone. We'll find her easily. _
Jade: What must we do with the priest Hochi? She killed him with the blessing of Circle Rune, since she was in fright. but an inquiry is needed... _
Alexandre: Jade, there is more urgent. _
Jade: Holy Runes!!

there, I don't hear anything anymore, they discovered my spell. I'm close to the clearing where the demon, now out of any human control, struggles against the liana nets of Ghamina, the attacks of the Funeral Wind of Haku, the Berserker Lightning of  Cherez, and the earthquakes of Sasarai. But it's strong, and the attacks do little damages. Sasarai's lance doesn't manage to reach it, it's too fast. Even for me, it's too fast.

I start when I feel that the both Circle priset are just behind me, I didn't feel them arrive! We must now face against two ennemy! I make sign to Klaus that I take care myself about the priests. But they don't seem to want to attack... _
Jade: We made it in time. _
Jilia: What do you want? _

Jade looks at me... then she surprise me when she asks:_"Do you know the Alia Transe, the trance which allow to amplify the magic capacity of another person?"
I think. I don't know it, and  Klaus either... but Rune reacts, it knows. _
Jilia: Rune knows, but I can't start it. _
Jade: Then I will help you to do it. You want to save your friend, the carrier of the Earth, no? He isn't yet strong enough to overcome this demon, but if you support him with Alia, he will succed.

Oddly, Rune agrees to trust this "Jade". Alexandre beckons Klaus to come and we begin the incantation.
The flow of energy of my true Rune and of the  Jade's circle flows into Sasarai and support the true Earth rune. Sasarai doesn't have anymore to do but to leave his body and his voice being guided by the Earth. The earth inflates then breaks down under the demon in a mud lake which sticks it on the spot. Then Diamantine transpierces its head. The demon disappears in dust.

Haku, Ghamina and Cherez were very afraid, even Cherez cries. I feel my Rune calms. There's no danger anymore. Jade and Alexandre went to comfort the three children, Klaus and Sasarai joined me. _
Jade: You are sought, the children. _

Indeed, we hear the voices of the Sisters who call us. They noted our absence. Jade and Alexandre lead us towards them and explain the situation partially. The sisters are impressed by the courage of Sasarai and the three others, and they don't thunder us. They must think that our fright is the best punishments. I wasn't afraid.

Jade and Alexandre ask Klaus and me:" Do you want to become our pupils?" _
We have to learn much about our own Rune. And we can't do it alone. _
Klaus and Jilia: " Yes. "

The End.
