PART EIGHT: WON'T YOU DO THE HONOURABLE THING FOR ONCE? "Are you really a wizard, Kyuske?" Hitomi gasped. "Does this mean you can poof us up some cupcakes?" asked Erika. Kyuske shook his head. "I have yet to receive access to my powers. I’ve actually been waiting for the past four years, but unfortunately, nothing has happened yet." He sighed.

"Kirara will most definitely strike again," he insisted, "and her next attack will be far more unpredictable and reckless.

Elaine's Expedition
The sky was on fire.

There was no denying that the sunsets from the dock of her home on Krawk Island were beautiful. Tonight’s display was a mix of pastel oranges and vibrant pinks – a view that could not be captured in a picture.
