The rain thumped heavy, as the drops echoed in the cave. The only thing keeping it from the area being surrounded by complete darkness was the single fire light that flickered back and forth. The group was located in a murky cave, as Rose had been knocked unconscious as a ritual of sorts have been prepared.

"Ashraeh, Sai... ready?" He asks.

"Y-Yes." Ashraeh said softly. She had never met Sai before, so she was shy. But now was not the time to worry about shyness. One of her friens needed help help to remove a curse. And she was going to do everything in her power to do so.

Sai nodded as he looked to Rose... he felt that this was also partially his fault from the attack, and it was part of his redemption. "Of course..." he said, though as he turned to look at them they would notice the dim red glow in his eyes, he had to check something. Though in the dark cave he would seem quite threatening and more of a demon than a helper. He looked over to Rose to see that she did in fact have a curse, he recognised the black magical energy that was mixed with the usual white. He had seen it with Larita a very long time ago.

"I am not sure what will happen after I do this.. both of you be ready" he then turned to Rose and knelt next to her momentarily, his hand would gain a silvery glow as he placed it on her stomach. In his other hand, the curse would slowly be drained away in essence, forming into something... though what it was seemed a little vague.

Rose though unconscious had squirmed slightly in the process with a slight "Ngh," mumble now and then. To some, it may look like shes getting hurt, while to others, it would look like she's having a bad dream. Rose could feel the heavy chains of the curse be slowly lifted which gave her a inevitable smile.

William smiled as Sai's spell began working successfully, "That's a relief... it was partly my fault. If I thought logically, I could've summoned her away from getting cursed with my artifact card... Instead of rushing in... Sigh..." William blames himself looking down at the floor for his insecurity. William could see the curse being formed into a weapon, slowly and slowly. But, from what he could see, it was only a handle and far too early to tell what it actually was.

The curses side effects looked like they were taking a toll on Rose, "Ashraeh, could you heal her? I'm not sure if she's feeling pain or not, but her squirming is an odd sign..." William requests.

"R-right. Aequora, addo pacis... Tui gratia jovis gratia sit, Cura!" From Ashraeh's hand, a blob of water flowed out, glowing in the dim light. It enveloped Rose, giving her a translucent appearance.
I hope this helps...

Sai continued, the spell itself was slowly working as it drew out the cursed magic and the weapon continued to form in his other hand. It began making black coloured links that came from the handle. All of these links looked something like a small blade. As the curse was lifted further, more links were added. ”You just have to keep her stable, don't worry, you are doing fine” he said as he continued, trying to reassure Ashraeh, who seemed to be a little nervous.

"Thank you!" She smiled shyly, quickly averting her gaze back to Rose's trembling form.

Rose's erupt shaking soon stabilized and she was calmly laying down as if she was in a harmonious sleep. "Thank you," She mutters in her sleep, not that it had any meaning as she didn't know what they were doing. She only got here because she was knocked unconscious or dosed with sleeping pills. Maybe even both, she wasn't sure.

William simply sat and awaited for the time to arise where he could aid this inevitable event. "You guys can do it, you're both pretty amazing..." He morally supports them.

Sai nodded to both Ashraeh and Will as he continued the spell, the weapon looked nearly completed. Apparently it took the form a a black, silver engraved bladed whip. It almost looked like something of a chain. The final part of the magic was completed as he finished the weapon, examining it as he watched Rose... the first part of the plan had been completed.

"So what are you doing now?" William asks as the curse seemed to have been lifted. Something was strange, the loud rain thumping onto the caves roof, it's not that it stopped, but the echoing sure did. It was much quieter in the dim cave. "Is everything done?" He also asks, hoping not to burden him with so many questions.

"Please say that it is." Ashraeh was filled with genuine worry for her unconscienceness.
"Is there aanything else for us to do?"

Sai continued to examine the newly formed whip, as he then moved from looking to it to Rose. "The curse is lifted... But she still seems to be tainted some how... But it isn't the curse, that is no longer a problem" he had no idea what else to do, this was the limit of his ability.

You're right... it's like another presence is here..." William utters, not seeing anyone else other than the original four within the area. "Are you sure you lifted the curse?" He curiously asks.

"Of course I did, this whip is proof. A perfect sealing spell... If it has been incomplete it would of been broken as well" he said, but as he turned to look back to Rose, a dark looking creature with brilliantly glowing red eyes sat atop her chest. "... that isn't good"

"But, who- what is it?" Ashraeh readied her staff to defend her friends in the event of an attack. No one would harm Rose while she was around. But, did she have the strength? No, she didn't. She was still weak, and lacked skill. What use was she?

"A-Ashraeh! Can you capture it? There's no water here, but there's a lot of rain! The air's moist, your magic may work pretty well!" William knew something like this would happen. Umi was never a user in curses, so he more than likely used an item or something to curse Rose, resulting in this. "Son Ta Rik, Ex Somno Exsistat Exurens Salamandra Inimicum Involvat Igne! Captus Flammeus!" William finishes chanting as he summons a rope of fire to wrap around and begin to strangle the enemy. At the very least, it could restrain the demon in its spot.

"Right!" With whatever little use she was, she would try her best.

"Ex Somno Exsistat Exundans Undina Inimicum Immergat in Alveum! Vinctu Aquarius!" The rain shoot inside the small cavern, as if a million miniscule needles were hurtled into the air. The formed a bubble around the target. Did she capture it?

Ashraeh's water and Will's flames completely dispersed. The demon had some form of magic cancellation. "W-watch out!" William alerts the others as the monster stamps on Rose's stomach, sending itself flying forward, launching itself at the three mages. William tried to kick it away, but as his leg makes contact, a sharp pain hit his leg. The monsters hide was as hard as steel.

"S-%*@!... this monsters strong, A-Ashraeh!" William shouts, as the monster swings its devilish spiked tail at Ashraeh.

Sai moved quickly backwards, the new whip in his left hand while he held his sword in his right. Before he decided to use his own magic. "Liberatio!" He hadn't ever used the whip, so he wasn't sure what the form would be, but, when the light ceased, he found himself to be looking through a visor of some kind. It had turned into a black suit of plate mail armour. Though, it wasn't heavy as he would of expected. Instead, it was quite light, and the others would see it was made perfectly for him. Though it would be the same for anyone else who could use it.

Before the demon could hit Ashraeh with it's tail, it would find itself deflected by Sai, who had decided to have faith in this new armour and it seemed to have worked. ”Get back” he ordered.

"Ngh..." Rose mumbles as the monster launches itself off of Rose and at the others. She got injured from the attack, possibly rupturing her lungs as there would be a slight amount of blood escaping her lips. Either way, fortunately there were no broken bones.

"Rose!" Ashraeh cried concernedly. She desperately wanted to rush to Rose, but Sai had told them to stand back? The least she could do was heal her. She incanted the spell, and the healing water flowed out to envelope zrose once more.

It was a failure. The monster chopped Saijun's arm, as his arm explodes. The arm had been cancelled leaving severe burns. "He's using magic cancellation merged with explosion magic...!! Son Ta Rik, Omne Flammans Flamma Purgatus, Domine Extinctionis et Signum Regenerationis, in Mea Manu Ens Inimicum Edat! Flagrantia Rubicans!" William sends a twirling stream of flames at the monster as it consumes it completely.

"Lightning Gauntlets, on!" William shouts, dashing after the monster aiming to give it a flurry of lightning charged punches.

Rose slowly awoken from her sleeping stated. She was dazed at the fact a demon was aboloshing the group. "W-what's happening...?" Rose realizes that her body feels lighter and there's no magical present around her... the curse had been lifted. "W-what?! I-Is everything better now...?!" Rose asks, not realizing it's not nearly the time for such antiques.

Rose quickly pieced together what had happened, but she couldn't fit in where that demon came from...
