Many glowing white feathers appear and are flying around them.Shiloh: Woah....Hou Ren: What is....As the feathers flew, their aura had their energies combined and it crafted two new cards. The cards slowly fall down until it reaches their fingertips. Looking at it with curiosity, they are surprised.Shiloh: Two cards....Hou Ren: were created?As they look at the cards, the feathers turn into beautiful white birds. They are flying around the scenery. It was completely angelic. Radiant so to speak. The stars shines bright aligning with them.

She bow in response with a curtsy.Shiloh: Of course you may, My love. (Takes of her shoes and proceeds to take Hou Ren's arm)Hou Ren: This reminds me of a song.As Romantic Music plays in the background, The couple dance in a classical ballet duet style. It was elegant smooth, passionate, graceful. The water ripple and glisten even more as they dance. It's a fascinating sight to see. It was certainly a fascinating sight to see. Suddenly Halfway, Shiloh lose balance. As she's about to fall, Hou Ren catches her just in time and they both look at each other eye to eye while blushing.Shiloh: You didn't have to do that....Hou Ren: I kinda did...didn't I?The duet smile and continue their dance. In one last moment, Shiloh and Hou Ren pulled themselves towards each other and wrapped their arms around each other while smiling.Shiloh: Since when you can dance?Hou Ren: Hey, there's a lot you don't know about me.Shiloh: Come Here.The two embrace and kiss each other once again. It's completely passionate, loving, warm. Just like the first time when they express their feelings towards one another. But as they kiss, suddenly, Large Beautiful Angel Wings appear behind them. Feathers flew out of it and the two stop themselves in shock and are very surprised to see their new wings. Hou Ren: Wha....You...You got Wings!!!Shiloh: Y....You too. How is this...possible?Hou Ren: I don't know...but...this is amazing. So does this mean...Shiloh try flapping her wings and all of the sudden, she's flying in the air.Shiloh: I....I CAN FLY. (Flies around in Joy)Hou Ren feels incredibly surprised as he watches her fly in the air. Joy is the only emotion that's currently displayed and he also flaps his wings and fly in the air. Shiloh: (Stops Midair) You're Flying Too.Hou Ren: I know. This is incredible. I get it now. When I gave you powers via the Mirage Crystal, and when your emotions becomes heightened, you must have unlocked your new wings.Shiloh: I don't think my emotions have to do with it. I mean you didn't give yourself any new powers. Hou Ren: Maybe. Then I guess it's true what they say. Love makes anything possible.Shiloh: (Flies Forward) And I love you. (Pecks his cheek)Hou Ren blushed cutely and smiles. The two kiss each other for a few seconds.Hou Ren: Shall we go down?Shiloh: Sure, but I want to fly some more.Hou Ren: I know you do. But I had some work to do. Shiloh: Aw. Okay. I understand. Let's fly down.The two fly down and land on the waters. Then Garga enters the Arena.Garga: Hello You...(Stuns and Shocked) WHAT? Hou Ren: Garga!!!The two were surprised as they close their wings. Hou Ren: I can explain.Garga: Where did you both acquire those wings?Shiloh: Is that a bad thing?Garga: What? No. This is Wonderful. But How?Hou Ren: Long story short. We kinda talked, received new cards, did a dance and...well it's mostly Love stuff.Shiloh: Yep. What he said.Garga: I see.

How does it work?Hou Ren: While this spell card can be used in all worlds, you need to pay 1 gauge and 1 life in order to activate one of the two abilities.Garga: You can either nullify an opponent's card when attack of your card fails, OR, you can nullify the card activated by the opponent during the their turn.Hou Ren: Basically, it nullifies cards as mentioned.
