Notes: Eh... Weird ending, ne? ^^; But... *claps* This one's done, now we can skip on to the sequel! ^^; It won't be picking up here, though, it'll be sometime between episodes 4 and 5, and that's basically how most of the next fic will work.

I think I need to set a new page limit... -.-;;

Oh! I have something new to reccomend, this time a fic! It's called "Wise Beyond His Years" by Mina and it's THE BEST Orphen/Majic shounen ai fic I've ever read! And if you read it, make sure to let the author know if you liked it or not. Because it's well-written if nothing else, so I think she deserves at least that much.

The young seer was blinded by the sudden vision. It wasn't the colour; there was no colour when searching with the mind. No, it had been the sheer shock... And what a shock it was.

Rai got to his feet grimly, abandoning all pretense. Someone had to be told... Now.

He fought not to appear anxious beneath his cloak as he swiftly made his way through the hallways of the Tower. There was so little time; Childman had to be warned-

"Rai?"

The single-eyed one stopped in his tracks, turning to face a concerned-looking Hartia. Childman's right arm... Of course.

"The Bloody August is after the Sword," he murmured in such a voice that only Hartia could hear. No need to alarm the entire school; this was strictly private business and was to be kept that way. "It has found Krylancelo and the Sword in a town called Totokanta."

Hartia paled so that his freckled stood out like dark specks on his white face. "I'll inform Childman right away. Thank you." He turned to leave but was halted by a firm grip on his wrist.

"Hartia." Rai graced him with a rare glance, tilting his head so that the light caught his visible eye. "Be careful."

Oddly touched and uncomfortable for a reason he couldn't explain, the taller sorcerer nodded. "I will. Thank you."

Rai said nothing but did release him, his own arm dropping back to his side. His face fell back into shadow as the red-haired man disappeared and he couldn't help but feel melancholy. 'As Krylancelo is determined to protect Azari, I am to you now... Hartia.'

His hand caressed the glimmering crystal orb in his hand, pressing it closer to his chest as a child would have a stuffed toy for comfort. He allowed himself a small inaudible sigh before he turned to leave. Hartia would faithfully deliver the message; this he knew. And he still had his job to think of.

He could watch the battle from afar.
