-After School

        Mizuki enters the centenary, Vena in her hands, as they walk through the corridors looking for Alan.

"Seriously, I'll never get used to this" Mizuki groaned

"You know you can always Teleport to Alan" Vena said

"I can?"

Vena opened to a page reading "Teleportation"

"Cool, okay. I just have to think of where I'm going, that's easy, to Alan!"

"Then you have to do the ancient symbol when you master the art, I doubt you have to do that"

Mizuki closed her eyes and moved her fingers, suddenly she found herself in a Crystal hit cavern.

"Creepier and creepier" She shuddered as she looked a little scared, she spotted Alan at the far end of the room.

"Hey, Alan!"

Alan turned to her shocked.

"Mizuki, what are you doing here? how did you get here?"

"Teleportation, and it's so cool!"

Alan looked at Vena 

"Guilty as charged" Vena sighed.

A loud roaring was heard at the far end of the room

"What was that?"

"Nothing" Alan panicked" Nothing at all"

The roar came again but in a pleading tone.

"There it is again" Mizuki started running to the wall

"Mizuki don't, it's too dangerous"

But Mizuki didn't listen, she ran until she came to the wall with a button.

"What does this do?"

The roar came from the other side of the wall, clawing and scratching could be heard.  Mizuki pushed the button as the wall slowly opened to a cage. Mizuki gasped.

     Silver eyes met dark grey ones as Mizuki was staring at one of the most beautiful creatures she had ever seen.

Inside the cage was a magnificent sleek black tiger, one gold streak on his right ear and dark grey eyes, he looked at Mizuki pleadingly.  All at once, thousands of memories flashed through Mizuki's mind, she saw the creature being held in chains, being beaten almost to death, and locked up in prison as a black-cloaked figure walked up to him.

"you, dear creature, will help me find the goddess, as you definitely belong to her." The figure laughed menacingly.   At once Mizuki spoke.

"Dyphinous, that's your name" 

"And you must be my mistress" a voice spoke in her mind.

Mizuki moved forward as she scratched his right ear, where the gold streak lay.

"Your fur is so soft"

"Mizuki, oh what have you done to yourself,"  Alan's voice said coming towards her, he stopped in shock as Mizuki had her hand on Dyphinous.

"You, you're his Mistress"

"According to him yes"

"And she's the one who will defeat Raka"

"What did he say"

"Something about me defeating a Raka dude"

"We'll get to that later, but really, I knew you had power but not this much power"

Mizuki was taken back.

"What do you mean?"

Alan waved his hands "Never you mind"

Mizuki started to get angry for a bit then calmed down.

"Where did you find him?"

"He's been here for quite a while since I discovered this place"

"I've been here since the Palphé war, taken under imprisonment by Raka"

"The guy I saw in the vision?"

"Yes"

Mizuki looked tired and shocked, things were happening so fast and she couldn't understand what was happening around her anymore.  It seemed Dyphinous had read her thoughts because Mizuki heard his voice.

"If you want I can slow down the time for your-----"

"Yes please---- Wait, what, you can't do that"

"He is the Beast of Time" Alan commented

"One of the 5 Legendary Beasts of Palphé"

"That's so cool"

"Now if you don't mind I'll like to get out, please"

Something in her bag started to glow

"The blue hourglass Ayana gave me"

   Dyphinous started to glow too and disappeared from the cage. And the hourglass started to write a few ancient runes on its rim.

"Dyphinous, Beast of Time" Alan read, and the hourglass sand turned black.

"Cool"

"Gosh Mizuki it's past lunchtime, you best get going to class"

"You're right Alan, I'll see you later, bye"

She ran out of the centenary, and Alan sighed with a smile.  Picking out his phone, he dialed a number-------

➕ Hey Alan, how's it going➕

➕ She's found him➕

The person on the other end gasped

➕ That's progress, the mistress will be pleased, speaking of her, she needs you at the palace➕

Alan sighed

➕ I'll be there in 5➕

➕ See ya➕

The call cut and Alan put his phone back in his pocket.

"I just hope we're able to convert Mizuki well before he does"

A man stood by a great table that was stacked with papers, maps, and documents, he wore dark blue robes and had white hair tied back in a ponytail.  The doors burst open and a man in spectacles and a white flowing beard came in.

"How's it going son"

The young man sighed "The mistress has said we should navigate the best route to Palphé across Raka's borders,"

  The man scratched his beard "The Beasts"

"Word from the palace says the to-be Goddess has found The Beast of Time!!"

"That's---- reassuring"

"I've located the Beast of Flame around South Cardon but he keeps wandering"

"We'll deal with that later, you'll have to gather the forces to capture her though"

  The young man rubbed his temple with frustration. His face turned around

"If we don't speed this up, Raka will be able to pass and take the remaining saved lands"

"Don't think that son, we'll fix it before the council, I hope"

"I'm home Mum"

  Hiro looked up from the book he was reading.

"Your mum's out for a charity event, how were your extra lessons"

"What?"

"Your mum said that you'll be home late cause you have extra lessons"

"Oh, it went well

Mizuki ran upstairs to her room and lay on her bed, feeling tired, and fell asleep.
