Meilin-chan, are you alright now?

There's so much that I don't understand. But Xiao Lang's right, things have become more dangerous now. I need to practice my magic some more and learn to defend myself better, so I won't get in anyone's way. I don't want any of my friends to get killed again because they were protecting me.

Brave girl, very well, if you require something to practice against ask me. I can get you something to work on.

[scarredmistress]

H-Hai! I'll do that. Thank you.

... Anou, are you that guy from the wedding?

[whitenightking]

You're welcome.

Which guy? There were more then just me.

T-The one helping out at the church, I mean. I didn't catch your name.

What's going to happen now, Sakura?

[scarredmistress]

I really don't know, Meilin-chan. But we'll have to be ready for the worst. We could be attacked again.

Anou... I heard from Albel-niisan that there's a way to learn magic...

[cynicalmeilin]

I-I've been trying since I could walk, Sakura. You have no idea...I just can't do magic!

[scarredmistress]

Sheifa-neesan learned how to do it.

Meilin-chan, I just... I don't want you to be scared anymore. Maybe learning magic can help. I just thought...
