I don't want to think what they might do to you!” “Menos hold still will you!” Fina growls as she tries to tug the robe over the much larger being, “You know we can't let anyone see you here. You came out of the magilith, you can count on my help! But, we'll need to get past the pirates who captured me first.” Velvet looks towards Kuro and nods, “Yes, of course I'll help you. We need to get back to the main land, can you help us?” You can come with us and we'll explain on the way. I don't mean to be rude but Fina is right, we don't have time to stand and talk. “999,” Kuro quickly answers, “The year Fina and I are from.

“I beg your pardon?” Menos inquires, giving Velvet a confused look, “My disappearance? I have not gone anywhere,” Something suddenly clicks in his mind, “What. Oh, this is amazing! This day keeps getting better and better! Do you have any idea how many thousands of pages have been written about your disappearance? And yet here you stand right before my very eyes!” And his hair was such a strikingly bright blue, his right horn broken off, the stone collar around his neck, maybe a picture instead? Her face suddenly brightens in realization, “Menos, Prince of Demonia! General and heir to the throne! That must be you. Menos, why was that name familiar? Surely she read it somewhere. Velvet either failed to hear Fina or was simply ignoring her as she tried to process the large purple Demon in front of her. Can I explain once we get back to the main land?” Look, like I said, it's a really long story and I'm not sure how much time we have. Who started that rumor anyway?”įina suddenly jumps between them, “Wait, wait, Velvet. Menos groans and cross his arms, “I am not going to eat you. “Ahh!” Velvet screams again and backs up, “A D-d-demon! D-don't eat me!” “Menos!” Fina chirps happily, “Thank goodness, you came here as well.” what a headache.” he groans then turns to face his friends and new comer, “Who are you?” my head.” a deep growl sounds out from behind the magilith as Menos rises to his feet, “Time travel. Well, humans and a d-” she suddenly gasps in horror, “Oh no! Menos! Where is he? Don't tell me he got trapped in the future!” Kuro shakes his head, “Wait a second, Velvet, we aren't Magi.”įina nods in agreement, “We're just humans. There are theories that the magiliths were used for time travel, and if what you say is true, then the theory is correct. “What disaster?” Velvet questions confused then suddenly gasps with an idea, “You two must be Magi!” she suddenly states as she pulls out a book, “I've been studying them my whole life. We have a chance to change the future and the stop the Great Disaster! Thank goodness indeed!” “We did it Kuro!” Fina shouts in victory, “We're back in our own time. “Oh thank goodness,” Kuro breathes in relief. The new year and millennium is going to fall on the 50th year of the Empire's victory over the Demons.” Velvet takes a second to readjust her glasses before answering, “999 but only for a short while longer. Who are are you? Wait, you came out of the magilith!” Her eyes suddenly grew nearly as wide as the large glasses sitting on her nose, “How did you do that?!”įina shakes her head, “Velvet? Oh, sorry. “M-Menos?” the woman shakes her head, “No, my name is Velvet. “Huh?” Fina and Kuro jump up and back and turn to the unfamiliar voice, “Ah! Menos!” Fina yells in terror, “What happened to you!? You turned into a woman!” “Gaahh!” an unfamiliar woman screams at the sudden appearance of the trio. A bright light engulfs the trio once more and pulls them into the swirling vortex. Menos remains back for a moment before also standing closer to the magilith, wanting to insure that we has taken this time rather than attempting to avoid it. Kuro was the first to step towards the glowing pillar, he cast Fina a hopeful look as she steps forward to read the inscription. Menos looked at the glowing magilith, still not trusting the ancient monument after it had unfairly pulled him from his own time and away from his people in their hour of need. Fina was just happy the old professor was right about the Magi ruins here, she was overly eager to return to her village. The trails it took to gain the Stone of Time were over and the horrendous smell of 'smug' would not soon leave their noses, even on this deserted island. It was time to leave this horrid twisted future they had found.
