Dr. Kintovar listeteo Risebelle.

  “It was... the Magic Academy’s elite squad,” Risebelle admitted. “They had their 4 most powerful mages leading them. I couldn’t get close to the maractors without risking my life, but to be fair, I fought all 4 of them at once.. It seems that ohey spot a creation of yours, they will have someone summoher 3 to surround and eliminate. Funny that they needed all four of them to nearly take me down.”

  After Risebelle had finished speaking, Dr. Kintovar didn’t hesitate. She stepped forward, embrag Risebelle tightly. Risebelle was taken aback, her protests stammered as she tried to resist the affeate gesture.

  " Kintovar, please, there’s no need for this nonsense,” Risebelle protested, but her cheeks slightly flushed. “I’m perfectly fine, and I don’t o be treated like a child! I-I’m your creation, not your daughter.”

  Dr. Kintovar held Risebelle at arm’s length, looking into her eyes with pride. She spoke with a warm siy that only a creator could have for their creation.

  “Risebelle,” Dr. Kintovar said gently, “you’ve earhe right to be treated as my own. You’ve faced incredible challenges and have always exceeded my expectations. You’re not just a creation; you’re my first creation, my eldest, and you’ve carried your responsibilities with grace. I’m proud of you, and I want you to know that.”

  Risebelle’s protests softened, and she couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth and gratitude for her creator.

  “Thank you, Kintovar. I... I appreciate your , and I’ll do my best on the mission. Just... don’t make a habit of embarrassing me like this, got it?”

  Dr. Kintovar nodded with a knowing smile. “You always have been the serious one, Risebelle. But that’s what makes you so reliable.”

  With that, Dr. Kintestured for Risebelle to follow her, leadio the rejuvenation tank on the sed floor. It was a familiar routine for Risebelle, a necessary part of their preparations for their mission.

  As Risebelle stepped into the rejuvenation tank, Dr. Kintovar watched over her with a sense of maternal . She khat their missions were not without risks, and she couldn’t help but worry for the creations she had grown to care for deeply.

  “Rest well, Risebelle,” Dr. Kintovar said softly as the rejuvenation process began. “You’ve ear.”

  With that Risebelle closed her eyes, ready to rejuvenate and prepare for the challehat awaited them on their mission.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The night had passed, and the new day dawned on the boratory. Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle stood in formation. Dr. Kintovar, perched atop a special ptform, prepared to address her creations.

  “Attention, everyone,” Dr. Kintan, “I have two signifit annous to make today.”

  Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle stood at attention, their anticipation palpable.

  “First,” Dr. Kintovar tinued, “I’m pleased to inform Roselle and Runebelle that their new outfits are ready. They have beeiculously desigo enhance your abilities and provide the necessary prote during missions.”

  With a wave of her hand, she revealed outfits. An assistant robot handed each creation their respective attire.

  “Roselle, Runebelle, please accept your new outfits,” Dr. Kintovar instructed.

  As Roselle and Runebelle received their new outfits, their eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. They carefully examihe garments, running their fingers over the intricate details and the magical gems embedded in the fabric.

  Roselle now had on an e mage-type outfit with a matg hat adorned with yellow gems felt like a perfect fit. She marveled at the craftsmanship and the way it seamlessly incorporated her lightning affinity, which was represented by the yellow gem on her hat and skirt.

  Runebelle, in her green and pink nurse-inspired outfit with its pink gems, felt a sense of fort and belonging. It was as if the outfit had been designed especially for her, taking into sideration her unique green energy affinity.

  Roselle spins around to Runebelle with an expet smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “What do you think, Runebelle? Do you like your new outfit?”

  Runebelle remained sad, but she managed a small, genuine smile while looking down at her green and pink nurse-inspired attire. “I do like it, Roselle,” Runebelle replied softly. “It’s... it’s very pretty, and it feels ‘right’, somehow…”

  Roselle’s smile widened with satisfa.

  “Now, for the seatter, it’s a grave . As you may have already heard, the mystical forest’s mana is being rapidly drained. My estimations suggest that the Academy of Magic has drained approximately 45% of the forest’s mana by now. The Maractors they have scattered over the forest poses a signifit threat to my pns and our existehe academy’s as are going to leave the isnd drained of it’s magic properties, and we ot allow it to tinue.”

  Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle listened ily to Dr. Kintrave annou. The threat to the mystical forest’s mana was a matter of utmost , and they uood the implications of such a loss.

  Risebelle, as the eldest and most experienced among them, spoke first. “Kintovar, we ot allow the Academy of Magic to drain the forest’s mana any further. We must take a. Say the word, and we will elimihem.”

  Dr. Kintovar nodded in agreement with Risebelle’s assessment. “You are correct, Risebelle. We ot afford to let the Academy of Magitiheir unchecked exploitation of the forest’s mana. We must take a decisive a to protect our is and ensure our own survival.”

  Turnitention to Roselle and Runebelle, Dr. Kintovar tinued, “This mission will require the expertise and unique abilities of all three of you. Risebelle, as the eldest and most experienced, you will lead the operation. Roselle, yhtning abilities will prove invaluable in dealing with any magical defehe Academy may have. And Runebelle, your unique affinity for Natural energy will give us an advantage in our approach.”

  Roselle and Runebelle nodded in agreement.

  Dr. Kintovar took out her own Maractor, a device desigo siphon the mystical energy from the surrounding enviro. It was a shiny piece of teology, adorned with gem-like structures that shimmered with magical energy.

  “This is the key to our mission’s success. With the energy we collect from the Academy of Magid the forest itself, we will have the power to create a bridge that will extend over a thousand miles, allowing us to cross the o and access the city.”

  Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle watched in awe as the Maractor worked its magic, colleg the vital energy they would need for their mission. The prospect of accessing the city and fronting the Academy of Magic was ohat made them feel strangely resolute in their desire to do both things.

  “Once we have collected enough energy,” Dr. Kintovar tinued, “we will proceed with our mission. Risebelle, you will lead the way, and Roselle and Runebelle will provide support. We must be prepared for any challenges we may face, and we must succeed at all costs.”

  Dr. Kintovar sidered Risebelle’s carefully before presenting a pn. “Risebelle, I appreciate your willio front any challenge, but if it es to fag the headmaster directly, I have a pn. We will use a code phrase: ‘Lip Gze.’ If any of you e face to face with the headmaster or feel their presence, yell this phrase immediately.”

  Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle exged puzzled g the seemingly absurd phrase. Risebell in particur leaned in with a face that said: ‘are you kidding me?’

  Dr. Kintovar tinued, her tone resolute. “Trust me on this. ’Lip Gze’ will be nal. If it’s spoken, it means that I will intervene personally. I have a way to front the headmaster, even if it seems unlikely.”

  The three of them remained silent, doubt lingering in their mind, but they trusted in Dr. Kintovar’s judgment. Roselle and Risebelle khat the headmaster of the Academy of Magic was a formidable oppo, and they would need every advahey could get.

  “I’ll join you shortly. Trust in your abilities, and remember the pn. Now, off you go.”

  With those parting words, Dr. Kintovar turned her attention back to her preparations, leaving Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle to step outside into the mystical forest.

  The moment their feet touched the forest floor, they noticed a profound ge in their surroundings. The once vibrant forest had taken on a darker and more ominous hue. The trees loomed taller, their branches casting long shadows that seemed to daninously within the now darkened forest. The air was heavy with an eerie silehat was broken only by the faint rustling of leaves and the distant murmurs of the wind.

  Roselle,” Risebelle began. “this is not how the mystical forest normally should look or feel…Something is very wrong here.”

  Runebelle, who was experieng the mystical forest for the first time, couldn’t help but shudder at the uling atmosphere. “Is this what the maractors have doo the forest?” she asked sadly

  Risebelle nods “The forest’s mana is truly being drai an arming rate. We must hurry and find those maractors before it’s too te.”

  While venturing deeper into the forest, the extent of the devastation became apparent. The once-lush undergroithered and lifeless, the vibrant colors of flowers and foliage now reduced to shades of grey and brown. The wildlife, once abundant and full of energy, now moved sluggishly through the shadows.

  A faint rustle caught Roselle’s attention, and she turo see a small bunny emerge from the underbrush. Its fur, which should have been a healthy, vibrant hue, was now a dull and lifeless grey. The bunny’s eyes, once bright and curious, were now dull and gzed over, as if the very essence of life had been drained from it. It moved but struggled to keep its bance.

  Roselle felt a pang of sadness e on her and raised one hand to her chest. “Even the animals are suffering,” she whispered. “Poor thing. If only we could help you...”

  Risebelle shook her head. ” If we find aroy those maractors, we start to reverse the damage. The forest and its inhabitants might have a ce to recover.”

  The three sisters moved on. They moved, hidden in the dense foliage of the mystical forest. They soon came across a clearing with many mages. They watched the regur mages of the Academy pce down a maractor. Risebelle’s eyes narrowed.

  “Maintain cover,” Risebelle whispered. “When I give the signal, Roselle, take out one of the maractors. It should create chaos and distract them long enough for us to engage.” Roselle gripped her trusty on-like on, her lightning energy crag with anticipation around her body.

  Risebelle carefully gauged the situation, waiting for the right moment. When the opportunity preseself, she raised her hand, fingers f a signal that only her sisters could uand. It was time.

  Roselle’s lightning shot pierced the air with a thunderous crack, striking the maractor infront of them with pinpoint accuracy. The extractor exploded in a burst of magical energy, sending shockwaves through the ranks of the academy’s mages.

  Chaos erupted as the mages scrambled to respond to the ued attack. Risebelle, Roselle, and Runebelle seized the moment, emerging from their cover and charging into the fray.

  The silencer mode of Risebelle’s on proved to be a deadly asset as it dispatched the academy mages guarding the now-destroyed maractor with ruthless efficy. The element of surprise and the ck of warning allowed her to elimihe threats swiftly and without any survivors.

  However, when the echoes of the silenced shots faded, the forest remained eerily quiet. Risebelle turo her sisters. “We o move fast. They’ll be ing, and we have to find the remaining maractors. Roselle, keep your on ready. Runebelle, stay close, and remember to use your abilities strategically. Let’s go.”

  Meanwhile a report of the situation was delivered to someone from the Magic Academy who sat gracefully upon a crafted ice chair within the heart of the mystical forest. Her pale blue hair cascaded around her shoulders, and her frosty blue and silver robes billowed gently in the forest’s ethereal breeze. She exuded an air of elegand aloofhat befitted her station.

  As she rested, a female messenger, with a respectful demeanor, approached Aliana with a report

  “Princess Aliana,” the messenger began, a polite bow, “I bring you important news. One of the Seven Maractors has beeroyed.”

  Aliana’s lips curled into a deceptive smile, her icy blue eyes glinting with intrigue.

  “Ahhhh? Intriguing.” Aliana replied with a sereone “Do go on, my dear. Tell me ‘everything’ about it.”
