I was fighting with all my might and probably going extreme on the extreme magic, but I could, the joys of channeling the flow of ruhk. "Audria," Yukino's voice shattered my thoughts of battle. I few back to the gathering of the AR. All seemed tired beyond belief, which I could believe. Over a distance away was the Kou metal vessels, also not fighting due to the unsustainable magoi. Jouen had gotten to the point of pulling a pillar from the ground to make a lava flow.

"We can't keep this up much longer," Glea told me, a tired look on her face as well as the rest of them.

I scanned them all. "I can barely maintain flying anymore," Calipso confessed with an apologetic look.

I had tried this spell before, but not with this many recipients, it's want I would do to show them the ruhk. But in this case I would be changeling the ruhk I would get from the flow, rendering me needing to use my own magoi. "Altezc," I called out my djinn to be next to me. I handed her a single sword as we needed as many people as we could. As well as I would struggle to maintain the spell and a djinn equip at the same time.

I concentrated for a moment, finding all twenty four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, thirty targets. The ruhk used me as a transfer node, like the y shaped piece you would connect a pipe to to have water flow into two. In this case it was pure life energy and into thirty. All seem invigorated, while having no idea why. I continued to fight using light spells, the type of magic that comes most naturally to me. Of course it is less effective then djinn equips, but Aladdin and I working together made it all the better.

"Aty," Aladdin called for me, the first time referring to me with the nickname Altezc uses for me. I looked to my brother with a serious face. He was no longer my little brother. We were equals now, and will be for forever more. "What are you doing?" he asked on worry, "And you're ruhk."

I knew her could see me pouring the ruhk into everyone else. Then my ruhk, the way it was so special. It was half black, half white, and balanced together perfectly. It wasn't like Son's where he had both Co existing, I should probably do something about sooner or later. Mine was one. It was gray. "What I must," I told him, "And I hope I can explain to you later. I'm not sure of it myself, I think it has something to do with my previous lives."

Having a conversation as you're fighting is tough, so it ended there. The fight continued, and I was getting more and more tired. My speel had become more complicated and more frequent using quantities of ruhk previously thought only capable by magi. But I was using my magoi alone. When the seven sea alliance and everyone else showed up, most of the AR fell back. I refused. I returned into my djinn equip from and conti used fighting. I might have fallen had it not been for them all having my back.

I couldn't continue channeling ruhk anymore as it was using up too much of my own. Luckily a light filled the sky. Scheherazade. I would have given her a distant thank you had it it been for how heavy I was breathing. Myself, along with Aladdin, were the only ones who were not granted the magi's final magoi, but I still fought. I joined in the final attack of extreme magic as well as the metal vessel users of AR.

I was barely able to stand when I got back to the ground. I manged by using my swordsas a crutch. All that was left, was for Aladdin to handle. He looked back at me for a moment, getting a smile of encouragement. He had this, and even if I didn't know it there was no doubt in my mind. I gather the AR, all still there, going around and fussing on everyone, healing even the smallest of wounds. They stayed by my side, even if it was one last battle.

Our group of cloaked ones was quickly surrounded by everyone else. From all places except Sindria. I glanced at Sin, surprised to see he was purposfully avoiding my gaze. I would deal with that next. "Reveal yourselves," Kouen commanded to us all. His sword thrusted at us threateningly.

I forced myself to be at the point of that sword, I would not let him threaten my friends. "Becareful to whom you speak," I hissed relying on the voice of a ruler I forced to have. "We bring no harm."

"Says a group who hides there faces," Kouen pointed out. I could tell many of my friends reached up to their hoods. The hoods hadn't been my decision, but there's. They were all misfits and outcasts, scared to be seen for who they are. But at AR I gave them a place to be those people. They still wanted to hide it from rest of the world, so I granted them the curtesy of hoods. It's the least I could do for all they do for me.

I kept on a glare, trying to remain as threatening as I could. I was running low on magoi, which was a first. "The only face you need to know is that of the leader," I pointed out. "These people standing before are the strong and couragous members of Atiyah's Rift. We've dedicated ourselves to prevent happenings like this in the past, and will continue to do so. The hoods are to protect ourselves from the orginization that causes it all. If you do not believe me strike me down, but spare the rest."

Everyone backed put away their weapons, finding the truth in what I said. I felt someone come and step next to me. "No," it was Yukino, "I want the world to know you are the one I stand with." He pulled his hood down. Next came Kansi, then Mei, the Kouei, and everyone else. Those who recognized someone was quick to be stunned.

I just glared at them. "What wad the point of using hoods if you were all just going to do this?" I asked them, tapping away with my foot.

Mila was the one to answer. "Because they're cool," she declared flipping her hood back up. Quickly those who knew one on other were discussing.

I snuck away from it all, going to await Aladin and Yamriaha's return. I felt someone approaching from behind me. "How's Dunya doing?" I asked him, "She's got to be worried, I didn't tell her anything before I left." Time was looming short on me, the my knowledge of the future inching closer and closer to none.

I looked over to see a hurt look on Sin's face. I quickly gasped and covered my mouth with my hands. "Didn't you find my note...." I paused, "That I forgot to write."I scolded myself, by pulling at my hair." I didn't want to worry you, but I did it any way. " There was a sob in my voice.

A hand came and grabbed my upper arm. "So, you didn't runaway?" he asked, hope in his dazzling gold eyes.

I frantically shook me head. "No Sin, I love you more than the world. I just left the ring behind cause I dint want it to get damaged. I was going to explain it in the note, but I forgot to write one." A smile appeared on his face, along with pure relief. Our conversation was cut short due to Aladdin's reappearance.

I rushed over and gave him a hug, knowing he needed one. I let him go join his friends while I sat down next to mine as she mourned of her departed father. "I'm here Yam," I told her, setting a hand in her back and let her cry it all out. I just needed to wait for the time to tick down and then everything will start again.

It felt nice to sit and regain my strength, but it felt like I was forgetting something. It hit me like incoming water. Hakuryuu. I bolted up and started getting a sloppy running start. You always fell worse after resting a bit. "Audy," Yukino came over and stopped me. "You need to rest."

"I can't," I cried, "There is something I need to do." I managed to fly. I got up to a nice hight and went at the fastest speed I could. I soon saw to dark figure floating in the sky. "Hakuryuu," I cried out on the top of my lungs.

The prince and magi stopped and turned to face me. "You," Judar sneared, "What do you want Audria." Hakuryuu's face lit up at realization at who I was. I still had on my djinn equip. "This is not the way," I informed him. Floating was just slowly wasting more and more of my magoi. A risk I was willing to take. "Revenge like this will get you no where. The one to kill your family was not truly your mother, but the horrible person that is controlling her. Killing her will just cause them to take oflver your sister. So please for yours and everyone's sake don't." I begged, slowly getting lower and lower.

" Then how do we stop this person? "the prince asked, with no doubt I was telling the truth. I earned his trust in a much more trustable way. With the truth. He knows I would never lie.

I sighed, feeling the end getting near. " I don't know, but we can find out together, "I assured him with a smile. That was the end. All my magoi was used up and I was plummeting to the ground. The last thing I saw was Hakuryuu flying after me.
