The Lost Elements aren't things to be handled by kids, but if used correctly, she wouldn't have to worry about Circe too much to send her to missions.
"Well, that's what we needed from you for intelligence," said Baldwin, ready to go.
"Hold on, since you both have been so kind to me not to kill me for this entire conversation, I shall give you a small gift. That gift would be what you asked me to do from the beginning. Follow me," instructed Old Man Pond as he got up.
He then went to the muddiest part of his swamp and snapped his fingers, where a colossal mud tower shot Old Man Pond upwards. Poison Elemental Nergy then swarmed around the Poisoned Pond and his new tower, while they were all being attracted to his cane's top.
"Hail, from the emerald cliffs of old. Let my precious pets play and rise high beyond the dawn. Strike everything in sight, O' Venoms... Send your biggest roar!" shouted Old Man Pond as he raised his cane into the sky.
Six huge mirages of emerald green serpents flew out from the top of the cane and bolted in different directions. After a split Tick, Old Man Pond kept his cane and hopped off from the mud tower, collapsing it instantly.
Meanwhile, all Five Domains were now scared, and Gillian's surveillance Familiars were going out of control, trying to determine if those giant serpents were their enemies.
Raiyen nearly had a heart attack as he was spying on the Tribe's Camp in Urnsfield when the mirages appeared. But the Time Mage quickly used Glitch to hide swiftly and away and commanded Tomoe to join him in Urnsfield to take down that camp via telepathy.
'Can't it wait for tomorrow or at least tonight? I'm out here shopping with Stickboy for his armor...' complained Tomoe.
'As soon as you're done. This is an order because we might not get a chance as good as this,' replied Raiyen, annoyed that he gets a Familiar as stubborn as him.
'Oh please... We can still pull it off-'
'All of the leaders in the Tribe Camp here have been moved to the main base since they have a meeting there to release the Dragon. Not only that, I hear the Syndicate is on the prowl to destroy the Tribe Camp at Teuton. I do not want to waste this chance, you hear me?!'
'I hear you loud and clear. Let me at least get this kid home!'
Tomoe sighed heavily as he nearly wanted to break the wall beside him. However, he only managed to scare some Mages away with the terrifying Elemental Aura that flared up around him.
"I bet that both Mavislin and Gillian finally did something to Old Man Pond to convince him to bring down the forcefield," said Tomoe as he finally found the perfect helmet for Phanm.
"Is he someone that I should be wary about?" asked Phanm, whose eyes were on the latest sniper rifle lined up on the street pavements.
"Yes... But you can count on him this time since that man has a burning passion for killing Pyromancers. Besides, with the barriers down now, you should focus on dealing with Tribe before the shields go up again," explained the Kitsune, grabbing Phanm away.
"So... Where are you taking me?"
"Back to the Old Chapel so I can run off and help my annoying and demanding master who is stuck in Albion," grumbled the angered Kitsune, stomping down the streets.
"You seriously need to talk it out with your Master..." said Phanm, pulling Tomoe's grip away and walking on his own.
"All you need to do is figure out a plan with Wald to settle one of the Tribe Camps, got it? I'll handle my Master's issues on my own."
"High ho, high ho... It's off to work I go..."
The instant Phanm was at the Old Chapel's doorstep, the Kitsune was gone.
"Hmph, reminds me of how my mother placed me at the Orphanage..." murmured Phanm as he went in.
Well, more specifically, the door swung open to reveal Ysabeau confused and holding a tanned human baby, who was overly chubby.
"Am I in an Orphanage by accident again?"
"No... And this is baby Kai. Say hello.." cooed Ysabeau, holding up the baby's tiny hand to wave hello to Phanm.
The Underworld King of the Campania sighed as he realized whose baby it was and approached it. After playing with the little guy, Phanm resumed his usual expression and asked the High Queen about Wald's recovery.
"He is fine, but..."
Ysabeau's voice trailed off as she tried to describe Wald's condition without revealing the truth. Phanm seemed desperate to know his partner's well-being and put on his best pleading face.
