Earth's Greatest Magus

Klea had only ever seen the girl named Morgana during the Battle of Camelot. Their encounter was brief  as the girl was incapacitated from the battle, her condition quite severe.

The fact that her name stuck in her mind was solely because of the impression she had of how much Emery cared for her. The last thing Klea remembered was that Emery took care of her body and placed it in the Gaia Shrine.

Hence, when she saw that her body that should be here was nowhere to be found, Klea couldn’t help but feel curious.

“She’s not here? Then I assume she’s up and well by now?”

Surprisingly, Tyra didn’t seem able to directly answer her question which should have been easy.

It was only after some persuasion that the oldest of the Fey sisters finally revealed the matter, explaining from the start how the girl actually had woken up shortly after she and Emery had left.

Since then, when she got out of the forest, she would be assisting the Kingdom of Britain in stopping the Roman army soldiers and the so-called outsider.

After hearing Tyra’s recount of everything that happened after their departure, Klea could finally be sure that this Morgana was the Witch and Sorceress the locals had been talking about. Because of the deeds she had done, the girl had made quite an impression on both the New England and Rome sides.

“Actually, she’s been in a bit of a situation these past few weeks.”

Such words naturally piqued Klea’s interest. “What happened?”

To her dismay, Tyra herself wasn’t quite sure what exactly the situation Morgana was in. The last thing she heard from the girl was about three months ago. The latter had apparently sensed the arrival of an ‘outsider’ at the Roman garrison located and decided to head out to investigate its existence.

Being sisters of the same bloodline, Tyra and the others actually could feel that something terribly wrong was happening to her.

“We can feel that shes hurting”

Hearing that it was started three months ago, several thoughts came to Klea’s mind.

The timing seemed very coincidental with Julian’s return to Earth. Still, Klea would not rule out the possibility that the Kronos faction might be involved in this matter.

Having so many mysteries and yet so few answers, Klea took a deep breath. The current situation, coupled with what Gaia had shown in a vision earlier, made Klea think that something really was going on with this girl named Morgana.

Now that she knew she couldn’t find a solution to save Emery from Gaia, Klea couldn’t help but place all her hopes elsewhere. The reason why she returned to Earth and insisted on taking Emery with her:  The sub-dimension of Khaos.

“Yes, We know the place. We will accompany you there.”

However, the sun was about to set; hence Tyra invited Klea to stay at the village for the night.

As she lay resting on one of the hut, Klea cant help to stay awake. She was so close to the solution to Emery’s condition. Unable to sleep, she decided to get up and sneak away in the night, taking the cat and the tube, and walking into the darkness of the Forbidden Forest.

“You’re not afraid, are you, Tivali?”

Purrr purrr

Walking alone through a pitch-dark forest might be a terrifying experience for an ordinary girl, but certainly not for Klea who might be the most powerful person on Earth right now. In fact, the journey was actually a soothing and relaxing experience; now that she had returned, she truly felt that no other planet could replace the beauty of one’s own planet.

Klea expanded her spirit reading, taking in the sights and sounds of life in the forest.  The past few years had shown her how big the universe really was and to once again return was a uniquely grounding experience that helped calm her nerves.

After an hour of walking, if her memories didn’t fail her, she should be arriving at her destination soon enough. The open plains where the rock formation should be in her sights shortly.

It was this time that she suddenly sense a powerful figure had just entered the Forbidden Forest and it was swiftly heading in her direction

She sensed the figure had an energy signature very similar to the other Fey sisters, but much stronger. Not only that, their signature also bore great similarity to what Emery had. Followed by the echoing howl from the distance, she knows who it was that came.

“This must be her.”

Although slightly surprised by her sudden appearance, Klea wasn’t intimidated in the least. She casually made her way towards one of the nearby hills and waited for her to arrive.

“Tivali, you stay on watch”

Moments later, the figure finally appeared from among the treelines. The bright moonlight shining through the forest revealed a beautiful yet wild-looking woman covered in dark fur with a half-human, half-wolf form.

Even though the claws and fangs might terrify many, her feral appearance actually made a smile appear on Klea’s face as her transformation looked too much like Emery.

“You’re Morgana aren’t you?”

Instead of answering the question, the girl only growled and howled where finally Klea could feel the full extent of her power.

“Rank 9?! How could someone reach rank 9 so quickly?”

The girl didn’t even go to the academy but could reach such a level.

Klea’s previous calm demeanor quickly turned to alarm as she quickly prepared herself to fight if needed. Still, not wanting to hurt her, she said, “I didn’t come here to fight.”

However, although Klea tried to be as harmless as possible, the wolf girl still moved forward like a hunter ready to pounce on her prey.

Klea let out a faint chuckle when she realized her powerful mental attack that was capable of troubling most of the acolytes in the Magus Academy wasn’t able to faze her. Instead, it only made her angrier.

Morgana’s figure disappeared from sight as she shot Klea at breakneck speed. Knowing that she couldn’t afford someone like her to get close, Klea immediately cast a spell and created an ice wall to block her advance.

The claw strike was not strong enough to break the ice, however to Klea’s surprise, dark flames erupted from both of her palms, which were powerful enough to explode the ice wall and send them both several meters backward.

The wolf girl, however, did not chase her. Instead, she rushed toward the floating tube.

Upon seeing the body lying within, she cried out a long howl, one that shrieked through the forest.
