Ch:48 – Magi the Labyrinth of Magic – 3-2

For a couple of minutes we stood there in a daze, unmoving. The snakes never came. There was not even the sound of there movement.

Chris:''Tama.''

On my word Tama went into sprite form and went to have a look. After a couple seconds she came back with a weird look on her face.

Tama:''Master...you might want to see this.''

Following her back the way we came we get back to the mirage, it.....was weird. Just in front of the mirage the ten snakes were just lying in front of the mirage, looking around like there were lost, or they lost us.

Sakura:''They can't see us?''

Jade:''Tama, is this some type of magic?''

At first I was shocked but got over it fast, we are in a magic world after all. As Tama was studying the mirage the snakes started to leave. As the snakes were leaving Tama started to move her hands in front the the mirage with her hand glowing.

Tama:''It's a type of reflecting field. Anything inside the field can't be seen or heard, so no mater what we do or say no one or anything outside the field won't perceive us.''

Jess:''How is this possible!''

Turning around to see who was there, we all were. Even Jill and Jacob was seen in the background listening.

Tama:''The field is a combination of water and wind magic, the water magic is used to bend the light which is what we see in front of us. On the other hand the wind magic is used to keep all sound inside the field.''

Reaper:''And what made the snakes leave?''

Putting her hand back on the mirage before answering.

Tama:''It's part of the water magic, fire based lifeforms and the like would not be able to last long in the field. Put that together with not being able to see or hear us, they decided to go back.''

A safe zone, it was a safe zone. In a world like this a safe zone was a life saver.

Jade:''It makes sense if you think about it, God doesn't want us to die. He wants us to survive, he wouldn't put us in a no win situation. There are probably other things we could find to help us, and not in just this mission but all missions.''

She was right, she said herself that the worlds we go to and missions we do are like a game. And in all games had tricks to get through the quest or things to help kill a boss or strong enemy.

Tama:''We might be able to take the field with us.''

Everyone:''WHAT!''

Tama took us back to the wall we ran into before.

Tama:''When we first came in here, I felt a strong pull of mana to something in here. The same mana in the mirage is the same mana I feel in here. That means something around here is drawing in the mana and casting the field, if we can find it we can take it with us we wont have to worry about the creatures anymore.''

Right away everyone started to look around for anything that looked special, even Jill and Jacob helped(Jill didn't even yell or argue with us). As the others looked around for anything that looks unique, as the others did that, I tried my new skill I got back home ''Dragon eye's''.

At first I was a little disoriented but got over it fast, it took at bit of time but I was able to get my eyes to see the flow of mana in the air. It was beautiful. The world turned gray, but in the air was filed with colors. I was mesmerized for a couple of seconds, every color under the rainbow was there, even a couple I had never seen before.

Getting my mind back in the game I start to try and fallow the flow of the mana. After a couple of seconds of looking I started to see that all the mana was moving to the same spot. Going closer to see what it was I take a look, going to the middle of the wall I see a red gem in the wall.

Taking a closer look at it I could see all the mana in the room was moving into the gem, looking closely I could see weird symbols on or in it. After seeing it I called the others over to see it.

Chris:''Tama, is this it?''

Tama went up to the gem and touched it, as soon as her hand touched the gem it started to glow. She lefter her hand on it for a little bit before the glow went away and she took her hand away.

Tama:''Ya this is the fields core. The gem draws the mana in the dungeon into it's self and cast the field.''

Chris:''Since it's safe here lets take a rest before we do anything with the gem.''

We started to spreed out, since we haven't had a decent rest since this mission started we all started to get some food in our stomach's. We rested for about an hour before we got back together to discus what were were going to do next and with the gem.(Jill and Jacob refused to come over though)

Reaper:''So Tama, how do we get the gem, and how do we use it?''

As we look at Tama you could see all her tails moving back and forth. She was really liking the attention she was getting.

Tama:''OOOKKKK! First we can't just pull it out, I'll need time to study it to be 100% but by the looks of it there is a trap rune or something on it. If we try to take it by fores it will go off, what will happen I don't know. As for using it that's simple, give it to someone with mana or something simpler to it like Jades negative energy and they will be able to make the field we are in now. If you give it to someone without any mana the gem would only cover the one holding it.''

We stayed and talked for a little bit longer before going to get some sleep, normally we would keep a lookout as we sleep but we were all exhausted, even Reaper and Jade went to sleep with out a word about it.

That's when shit hit the fan.

As we were sleeping someone was sneaking around, slowly moving to the gem.

RUMBLE!

The room we were in was starting to shake, we all got up with a start.

Jess:''WHAT'S HAPPANING?''

We all start to look around to see what's happening, looking over by the gem we could see someone trying to poll the gem from the wall.

Chris:''JILL!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!''
