It was down pouring, personally the little witch would've preferred to stay inside with weather like this. Maybe curled up in some blankets reading a nice book or do the chores if she didn't already do them when the day was like the weather forecast said it was going to be. She could also practice some things she'd been meaning to practice; cooking, sewing/knitting/crocheting, calligraphy, etc. etc. Well, if she even had any of the materials to do any of those things. Hopefully she did for some, otherwise she'd have to save up some money to get the things she wanted. She was glad that as being a mage, it was at times actually rather generous in it's payment. Not that Vesta was a money loving person, no that's very far from the truth, no she just would like to be well off. And since she lives in this cruel world, a lot of things are based in how much money you have. Not something she liked, but something she learned as the rather mature and responsible girl she is, for only being a nine year old.
She followed a few strides behind her mother, and like her she also held an umbrella to help block the rain to stay off of her, though she doubted she'd stay dry once they actually got to doing this job. The summoner held her umbrella, which was clear and had pink cherry blossoms a top of it and raining down it, in one hand. In the other, he held her wand. A long pink staff with the head resembling that of a bird and the feathered wings of one, something she required when using her magic. She'd transformed it from it's key form earlier, before they head into the forest. Figuring it'd be more convenient to do it ahead of time instead of having to have her mother cover for her while she did so. It was bad enough as it is having to do so with her magic. It was a rather inconvenient thing that she disliked about her magic, the amount of time it took to actually summon. It barely took a minute, but that could be a lot of time wasted in a battle. Someone could get seriously injured in the shortest amount of time. And being the person that she is, she'd hate that. She'd also hate having to burden her mother with anything, she hated being dependent on others.
Her soft green gaze shot all around her surroundings, though she could sense the presence of living creatures, she was still worried that they might attack unexpectedly. Though she tried not to show any nervousness on her expression, which she managed to accomplish, but her knuckles whitened gripping the handle of her wand and umbrella. The forest extremely dense, with immense amounts of ferns, bushes, weeds and other things of the like. It was also unnaturally dark, even more so then one would think it a dense forest would be in the rain. Everything had a sort of darker tone to it, like the shadows that shaded everything was somehow infused into the nature. And besides the sound of the rain beating up against the leaves and their umbrellas, it was eerily quiet. Thankfully Vesta wasn't one to be easily scared, being a very brave young girl, but it was still sort of unsettling.
She would usually fill the silence with small talk, but she know her mother wasn't a fan of such, so she bit her tongue (figuratively). But then her mother spoke in her usual aloof tone, calling her name. The girl stopped and listened, responding with a slight 'hm?', to make known that she was indeed listening and close by behind her. Then her mother asked about her summons and told her to use them. The witch was surprised that her mother actually remembered her magic and vaguely remembered a summon of hers. It put some warmth in her chest, that she actually remembered because usually she seems to nonchalant and apathetic about everything. Plus she was depending on her for something. She wasted no time in responding and doing so. "Right" she said no more then that not wanting to make anything awkward.
Then she clamped her staff between her thighs to she could remove the backpack from her back and get the red book from it. Quick as she could she removed the cards needed and put everything back. She sighed as she had to set her umbrella aside, so she did so on some bushes beside her. Then she started the ritual necessary, she threw the two cards up in the air, which magically floated their as she spin her wand. A glowing yellow magical circle appeared at her feet as she spun her staff and chanted "Fly Card! Windy Card! Find that which we're here to dispose of and make them known to me! Fly Card and Windy Card! Release and dispel!" and with her last words, she slammed the beak of her staff on the cards. The cards glowed multiple colors, and dissipated as they turned into their forms. A massive crane-like bird white in color, and a tall and elegant fairy looking woman that was a mixture of yellow and green.
They wasted no time in flying off to do as commanded, while the Windy's exit was more of a pleasant breeze. The Fly's was more intense, with a few flaps of their wings the wind pushed Vesta back a bit. Then they were gone, soon to return. The witch was left with a smile on her face, proud that she successfully summoned two cards at the same time for the first time, and that she did so in front of her mother. Though she wasn't sure if she'd be proud or what not, she was at least proud of herself. Though she was a tad tired out, it took a bit out of her doing so. Her body felt slightly weaker, not enough to completely disable her in any way, shape or form, but it would slow her down. She guessed this was the cost of having multiple summons out, at least now, when she was less experienced with her magic.

The little girl let out a sigh, her green gaze watching her mother as she approached. As the pink haired young woman placed a nimble hand upon her light brown hair, she let herself lean into her, so she wouldn't have to carry all her weight for at least for a little while. She felt the cold rain no longer soaking into her clothing, turning them a darker shade not that they were soaked from the rain shower. She appreciated no longer getting rained on, but she was starting to get cold, which was bothersome. Goosebumps appeared on her fair skin, she tried to prevent herself from shivering and her teeth from chattering. She looked up at her mother's lightly tanned complexion as she spoke to her, listening to her words. In response she nodded and gave a cheery yet weary smile. Then upon hearing large thudding and slight grumbling sounds, her gaze followed Kim's to were the sound was coming from. Though Vesta didn't know what kind of monster it was probably until it's arrival, her mother said it's name before it did so.
The thought came to her head as the young woman said it, she would no longer need her summons due to these cyclops coming straight towards them. Though her summons were not longer needed she was glad she was able to at least summon two at once, successfully even if this is her first time doing so. She waited for her to finish her sentence, assuming the meaning of what she was getting at with her pun as she called out into the thickly inhabited (by both creatures and plants) forest. "Windy! Fly!" she shouted out into the rain, they were obedient summons, probably why it wasn't as hard to summon them together. She was thankful for all her cards, but especially the ones with a calm and almost nonexistent temperament. The witch started her wait for their return, which shouldn't take to long, so she turned her soft and tired green eyes back over to their enemies.As she did so, the feline snapped her fingers, immediately the rain clouds above them got darker. The young maiden watched as they swirled, a crackle was sent through the sky and a large bolt of lightening struck the group of Cyclops, that of which she didn't have enough time to count before they were all obliterated.
It was an odd and sort of scary thing to watch, but the the nine year old didn't look away, but just watch in awe of what her mother could do. Perhaps she could eventually do something that looked and felt so powerful herself? Though the smell that came after was horrible to say the least, she'd never smelled something as bad as with. The stench was that of already grotesque creatures' corpses burning, and she'd never smelt a normal corpse burning or had even seen one if she was being honest, which she was. So the first thing she did, and something to be expected, was turn away from her mother and squat down before puking from the mere stench of it all. Because she was emptying the contents of her stomach, she did hear what the young woman now behind her because Vesta turned away from her, but she wasn't quite sure why she swore in distress. Though when she managed to no longer be grossed out and throwing up, she stood up and turned. Then she saw her mother's problem.
"Oh no" the girl muttered under her breath, her petite hands covering her lips that were slightly separated. Thankfully her two summons returned, which pulled her green colored optics from the flames. She straightened her figure, she twirled her baton, her large golden magical circle appearing at her feet, the girl proceeded to chant "Fly Card, I command you to return to your power confine, Fly Card!" then she held it in place, the large bird became an assortment of swirling tendrils as it returned to it's card form. She caught the twelve inch card before it continued it's gentle fall to the wet forest flooring. She slipped it in her backpack, not having enough time to return it to the book. She thrust out her staff towards the direction of the fire, giving a mental command to the Windy to help put the fire out with immense wind. Though she knew air fueled fire, she also knew to much of it could also put it out. The elegant summon resembling that of a fairy did as told, a slight smile on her face as if she knew nothing of how crucial this was to do. Which was probably true, she wasn't off this world, the girl actually didn't know what world she was from.
Vesta stood firm beside her panicked mother, in a tone that was trying to disguise worry that her summon and her mother's rain wouldn't be able to put out the fire. "I've been told that there are two headed creatures nearby along with another mage, then there is a mixture of creatures all in one, at least two headed our way. That's all they could get before I called them back. Well from what I can understand anyway." she muttered the last part, it was odd how her summons spoke to her. They didn't have their own voice, but spoke as thoughts in her voice within her mind, so they could only use words she knew and they weren't well versed in the human world so they sometimes got confused with what things meant. But from what the witch could tell, it seemed rather accurate, though this was only an assumption. Only time could tell, to see if this was the truth. Vesta was sure curious who this other mage was, if she concentrated she could tell there was something that wasn't a monster somewhere close by.

The little girl's head turned at the sound of a familiar voice, her light brunette turned dark from rain bangs, blocked her vision for a bit before she reached up her free hand to push her rain soaked hair to the side. A slight smile appeared on her expression upon seeing the regal young woman who stood elegantly as always. "Likewise" the witch said politely in response to the redhead, her green gaze followed as she went over to her mother and introduced herself in the well mannered way that she almost always appeared to act. At least from what Vesta could see, from the one other job that they'd been on together. The girl listened to the people elder then her speak as she glanced around, searching for where she'd set her umbrella. She very much liked that umbrella and wouldn't want to loose it, that would be a waste of money that she doesn't have much of. Gladly she found where she set it when she was casting the spell to summon the two persona's of her cards. The maiden reached down and grabbed her pink and clear umbrella with her free hand, the other still holding on to her sealing staff. She lifted the tool above her head to protect herself from the rain, which was kind of pointless at this point since she was already soaked to the bone. It was very uncomfortable, having her clothes cling to her petite figure, and it was very chilling, hard to keep her teeth from chattering.
The girl trotted back over to the two young women. Upon seeing the, what Vesta assumed to be illusion, that her mother casted, she giggled. Covering her small, lightly pink colored lips with her delicate fingers as she laughed at it. The feminine forms of the monsters were so cartoon like and unrealistic that it was hard to believe that they actually fell for it. Regaining her composure she looked at her summon, the graceful green and yellow fairy looking card summon looked at her with a soft gaze and smile to match it. She pointed her wand in the direction of the monsters, that of which were currently distracted by the female monsters, some were dressed in frilly undergarments and heavy make up. The witch gave mental instructions to trap the strongest one, or at least do what she could to do so. She figured that if they got rid of the strongest, that they would've acted as the monster's leader, and that if they were gotten rid of the creatures that were trying to escape would recede.
