[At the cursed land]

Searching. With time not on our side (even when three of us received the Blessing of The Holy Beast of Dark, Az the Timekeeper...), we are now soaring up in the sky, while the boys group are on the watch at the New Headquarters preparing for the worst. The citizen are given notices, expecting the worst to come, and here we are, searching, soaring in the sky, looking for The Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda.

I'm anxious. All of us are. Anxious that those devils will strike the new headquarters at moment notice. Anxious that the boys will find it hard to protect other while they're getting bombarded by devils left and right. Anxious that Saint Louis, Saintess Rumia, and the other, will fall prey to the devils.

(I know that this is nothing but a bad thought, but I can't get rid of it no matter how hard I try) [Charlotte]

Still, the best course of action now will be, to look for The Rampaging Garuda, receive the blessing of the wind, and persuade the holy beast to aid us to defeat the devils. That's the best course of action that Saint Louis believe.

"The tools, they're detecting the presence once more" [Mara]

"But as usual..." [Kara]

"Just where are the holy beast?" [Charlotte]

We look everywhere for it. Up. Down. Left. Right. Again. Nothing. We just stay there, looking at each other, bewildered by the fact that the same result keep repeating itself over and over again, before the other calls us, telling the exact same thing again. The tools show a positive results, without the presence of the holy beast.

Frustrated, we decided to land on the ground first, taking out our lunches and start to have an early lunch. While we are at it

"The tools isn't broken, right...?" [Kara]

"No. Of course not. Plus, remember what Saintess Rumia said" [Charlotte]

"Then what could possibly happen?" [Mara]

"Beats me. We soar as high as we could, but then again, we can't find even a single feather from the holy beast" [Kara]

As we munch the lunch, a random thought crosses my mind

(The devil suddenly appearing and start destroying the new headquarters... The Holy Beast of Wind, Rampaging Garuda also did the same to the country back then, but...) [Charlotte]

It's coming together. As if the knots that are there preventing me from making a connection between one point to another slowly being solved, one by one, the knots disappear, before I come up with one interesting hypothesis

"What if, we actually did find the holy beast all this while" [Charlotte]

""Pardon??"" [Kara, Mara]

The two looks at me, feeling curious as to why I suddenly said it like that. The sandwiches on their hand were put into the plates as they wanted to hear my thoughts regarding it

"What if, the holy beast of wind, is simply, well... nothing more than a wind?" [Charlotte]

"Charlotte... You did realize that the holy beast did attack the new headquarters in the past" [Kara]

"Even Saint Louis and Mr Gilbert themselves saw it with their very two eyes. A giant Garuda with feathers of a rainbow. We even hold the feathers, don't you remember" [Mara]

"I know, but think about it. First, how did the event happen?" [Charlotte]

"Going by the history, the royal and noble of the country drafted their citizens and mobilize all their assets to capture the holy beast" [Kara]

"Which, as we all know, ended up with failure. A big failure, especially after the holy beast rampage through the land, which got it the title, Rampaging Garuda" [Mara]

"And how did it escape and become untraceable ever since, or even a better question, how did it enter the country in the first place?" [Charlotte]

""That..."" [Kara, Mara]

This is the very first thing that suddenly crosses my mind as I tried to formulate this hypothesis, as I was wondering about what would happen if the devil suddenly emerge and attack the country. Obviously the devil have the portal stone on their disposal to make it possible, or they could just hop on any portal that were opened by their gods, get out and wreck havoc, but the holy beast? None. Even the Holy Beast of Water, Ice Dragon Reshir uses some sort of space magic mechanism to summon us into his place, but that wasn't his mana at all

"Then can you explain the part where everyone were looking at a garuda during that time?" [Mara]

"That's the thing, I can't really explain it. Not like the holy beast carry around mirage mana" [Charlotte]

"It doesn't, but you know what carry the mirage mana around here?" [Kara]

""You mean..."" [Mara, Charlotte]

Kara just pointed us toward the air that surrounds us, as she keeps making a small spiral of wind using her finger, concentrating all of it. She gather around her wind magic, sucking in the concentrated amount of mirage mana in the air while expelling out other mana as best as she could before

~Poof~

A cute little bird with feathers made out of rainbow comes out, playing around Kara's finger

"It's an illusion!" [Charlotte]

"Your wind mana and mirage mana combined, giving rise to this illusion!" [Mara]

Yes, that's it! Other might not be able to do it! But, for something like the holy beast of wind, this is actually plausible! No, I dare say it's our trial, to figure this out!

"I think all of us got it!" [Mara]

"That seems definitely the case here!" [Kara]

"I will call Elise, Lara, Farhah and the other now itself!" [Charlotte]

"We should probably tell the other about it as well!" [Kara]

And that we does. Ignoring our lunch that's becoming cold, we dial up our phones and one by one, they start answering our phones, and one by one, they're all nodding, believing our explanation.

"Then what are we waiting for!?" [Zerolith]

"Hold it demon priest! Don't you forget something!" [Mara]

That's right... This pose another problem. How do we get them here? Wouldn't this be a great time for the devils, to strike...
