Looking past the three Twelve Stars from Falos in front of me I watched as the girl with
Long Brown Hair, Brown Eyes a young male with curly white hair, blue eyes, grey pants, a white collared shirt, and a grey vest walks away.
"Those two," I said very faintly.
"Val something wrong" Eriko taps my shoulder.
"No, I am okay" Once again I told a lie one of many. "What is this sensation that I am feeling." Out of the many times I felt this sensation the urge to do something about it was unbearable. "Excuse me" as I walk past my fellow Twelve Stars. I left the group as I felt their gazes following me to see where I was going.
"Yo Valerus where are you going?" Ezekiel's voice calls out as I continue to pursue the two that just walked past us. I exit the alleyway my feet guiding me to row 2 of the shopping district.
"Hey, Valerus Marina where are you going?" another voice calls from behind me although very faint as I didn't realize how fast I was walking.
"So how are you guys enjoying Aiz so far?" Eriko attempts to conversate with the other Twelve Stars.
"It's great to see a change of scenery" Rowen responds despite Valerus's uncharacteristic behavior.
"So he's Pisces" Ai says watching Valerus disappear from her sight.
Xi "Hmm"
Albeck and Rose look at each other. "We'll follow him" As they were about to leave the alleyway a group of people arrived as soon as they walked out.
"Albeck what happened? I was watching-" Jericho says.
"Wait you were watching us?" Rose says.
"Hey dont blame me these girls were watching us as well"
"Sorry Rose" Suneeta, Lily, Azalea, and Bella apologize.
"Ugh whatever helps us find Valerus Marina"
"We saw him head towards the 2nd row of the shopping district"
"Those two your friends?" Xi asks.
"Yea we're going to compete with them tomorrow in the final stage"
"I see." Xi thinks for a moment "it should be no problem I expect to see at least you two to make the team" Xi comments.
"What makes you say that?"
"My blessing that I have bestowed is Aries the Strength allows to me see the amount of mana each mage has"
"Really how bout me" Ezekiel says as he points to himself with a happy smile on his face.
Xi stares at Ezekiel as through her eyes his mana glows a dark red outline as well as Eriko next to him. "Your mana levels are completely not comparable to those two even without doing anything your mana levels are far superior than theirs. That is why you two with pass. Although compared to Valerus his mana is quite questionable"
Ai "Which means whoever your opponents are you'll beat them"
"We'll just have to see. We will meet again Ezekiel and Eriko" Rowen says.
"Although am predicting your victories do proceed your battles with caution," Xi says. The three Twelve Stars from the Falos Region say their goodbyes for now.
"So that's Sagittarius, Aries, and Capricorn" Eriko.
"They said they'll see us at the Magnificent Magic Games but there were only three of them."
"You're right there fourth wasn't with them. I wonder what kind of mage they are?
-------------------------
Falos snow falls from the sky making the entire region look like powder.
Achoo
Uhhhh
"Stupid cold"
A young man lies in his bed.
"I wonder how the others are doing right now. Too bad I couldn't go. Ai and Xi must be really happy that there out of this cold"
"But then again" he looks to the side of his nightstand where an arrow rests on a nightstand as he grabs it and picks it up.
Rowen did give me his arrow so maybe. Ah, maybe I'll get to see them after all."
ACHOO
"Maybe not with this cold"

In the east Zellar the City of Law Court of Mages Room
A gentleman walks into, A room lined with 3 rows of chairs. 12 in each row. 3 chairs in the back of the room. One labeled faith to the left and one labeled truth to the right. A lone young lady sits in the middle writing on a piece of paper with the nameplate of Justice with a scale engraved in it. With blonde hair, orange eyes, a black coat, a white undershirt, and black pants, The two bing closer to ground level while the other one is another level above it.
The gentleman stops a couple of feet from the 3 chairs.
"Sorry for the interruption Miss Johanna we are letting you know that the final Twelve Star has been found its-"
"In Aiz. Do I stand correct"
"Yes, Miss. Also, I heard your brother did a fantastic job at proctoring the Magus Exam 2nd Stage"
"Oh did he?"
"Yes"
"Is that all?"
"Yes Miss Johanna"
"Alright thank you for the information you are now dismissed"
STEP STEP
"So how strong have you become little brother?" Johanna questions herself.
---------------------------------------------
Capitol City of Oriana Shopping District Row 2
"Where"
"Where"
I walked into a crowd of people.
Looking frantically for those two.
"Where did you go"
"Dammit did I lose them?"
"Hey," a voice calls from behind me.
A turn to see Jonathan Fultear wearing black pants, with a grey hoodie, and black coat.
"Something wrong Valerus?" he asks walking closer to me with my guard up.
He stops and looks at me "Hold on hold on am not here to fight the newly blessed Twelve Star no no no no I would never do that" he says in a calm but calculated manner. "Why would I invoke a battle in a place like this?"
"What do you want?"
"You look like a lost puppy looking for its owner or wait hmm you like an animal looking for its prey"
"Forget it I dont have time to play games"
I storm off past him as he still maintains a calm smile on his face.
"You're looking for the awfully pretty girl and her curly-haired friend right?"
A stop and turn back around.
"Where did they go?"
"Valerus!"
Footsteps can heard behind me.
Albeck, Rose, and Jericho arrive.
"Jonathan" Jericho calls.
"You!" Rose yells.
Albeck stares at him.
"Hello, partner" Jonathan waves to Jericho.
Rose steps forward about to summon her weapon "You I'll-"
NGHH
"Let me go"
Jericho and Albeck hold her back.
"Rose save it for tomorrow" Jericho pleads.
"It's not worth it now," Albeck says.
Jonathan smiles as he walks away "Valerus I'll see you tomorrow keep an eye out for those two" as he disappears into the crowd.
Jericho and Albeck release their grip on Rose "Those two?" he talking about us?
"Who cares am going to destroy him," Rose says.
STEP STEP
Albeck comes up to me "Valerus are you alright?"
I nod my head as he heads back with the others.
STEP STEP
"He was in close pursuit of us but that boy's magic"
"ZIP IT!"
Tay storms to Farz walking fast with Owen.
"That damn kid how did he do that"
"I was using my spell but he reflected it then he let me go. How humiliating I'll be sure to get him next time.
--------------------------
Later that night in the Northern Part of Aiz Andele
The five flowers prepare to head to bed in their sleeping clothes.
"Am heading to bed. Good night girls"
KNOCK KNOCK
"Azalea could you get that" Rose asks.
"Okay!"
"Who is it" Azalea aks.
"It's me," an older male voice says.
The girls stopped what they were doing.
CREAK
The door opens to reveal Headcaptain Alistar Honorson.
"Hello again Mister Alistar" Azalea says.
"Hello Azalea how was your day today?"
"Fine just went out shopping for a bit"
"I see that's nice it was a good day for it. May I come in? I wish to speak with Rose."
"S-sure"
"Rose come down please"
"Hello girls," he says as he removes his hat when he enters the living room.
"Hi," Lily says.
"Hello," Bella says,
"Headcaptain," Sunneta says
"Alistar. Why are you here" Rose asks.
"I just wanted to see if everyone is alright from the second stage and I wanted to congratulate you on going to the third"
"Yeah, we're good its all thanks to you. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to make it to the academy. You provided us with his home, food, and even Quill. So on the behalf of all of us thank you"
"Thank you, Mr.Alistar"
"You are very welcome girls after what happened on that night 10 years ago I couldn't just leave you guys there. If you guys need anything let me know."
"Before you leave Alistar I wanted to ask you something regarding the matchups for the third stage"
"Hmm what is it Rose?"
"Is it possible to make me be matched against a certain individual?"
Looking at Rose after the request Alistar responds "If that's what you want Rose I shall adjust the matchups to your liking" with an earnest tone.
"Thank you, Alistar" as he puts her hands together and does a little bowing motion.
"You welcome Rose"
"Well, you girls have a good night big day tomorrow for you Rose. I'll be watching good luck"
The girls wave goodbye to their adoptive father.
"Rose you dont have to do that were perfectly fine now"
"Yeah we okay"
"It did kind of follow the guidelines of the exam"
"No. Am going to beat him"
"Okay"
