Heh, the magic council must have really screwed themselves over this time if they were asking mages to clean up what in theory should be their responsibility. This world never ceased to amaze her with their ignorance and stupidity.
The rain poured down in harsh and heavy sheets of cold water over the grassy fields that surrounded Magnolia. Which was funny, seeing as how the forecast for today only spoke of overcast with temperatures in the mid seventies. A warm fall day, in other words. The weather channel was wrong on occasion, but never this wrong. It would baffle any other person, if they were unaware of the source of this suddenly cold downpour. But what they did not know, was that this weather was in fact not natural. Mother nature did not have a change of heart based on a whim. No. Rather, this was caused by a person.
By a certain witch.
The pink haired magi walked calmly through the storm, the only thing shielding her from a wet a miserable afternoon being a single black umbrella held in her hand.
Any normal person would probably have tried to seek shelter by now. But not Kim. There was a reason for her being out here today, and at that causing such a mess of a storm. Witches may be connected and grow stronger in storms, but it's not like she caused them whenever she felt like it. That would be annoying to say the least, and then nothing would get done. It was only on occasion that she changed the weather like this. Even as a care free individual she knew it wasn't smart to mess with the rules of worlds like that. This was a special occasion, and one she needed a storm to clear.
Bare feet squished each time she stepped onto the wet ground with her feet. A bit chilling, but spending time barefoot in the jungle where there were constant thorns and other various things getting stuck into your skin Kim had formed a thick layer of callus on the bottom of her feet. Surface to say, she didn't feel much there anymore, and a little bit of dirt and cold water never hurt anything.
"Hm" the witch hummed to herself quietly, stopping in place. Lazy amber eyes stared around at the field in front of her. Nothing but trees, flowers, and more trees. But she could still feel it, a certain darkness surrounding the area. It was like a mist. A sticky mist. One that stuck to your skin and gnawed away at your flesh until eventually it burrowed under and infested your mind. Normally it would be effecting her due to it's naturally dark and chaotic nature, but having the rain pouring down as it did it was managing to wash away any drastic effects it might otherwise have. Even so, all it did was weaken it. It was still here, all around her.
If she was right, this mist is what was effecting all the monsters around here and making them crazy. The source? She could not pinpoint. But that's what she was here to do. To pinpoint it.
Normally, she would not care for such things. But seeing as how the monsters rampaging would interfere with her work and daily life, she found the energy to do something about it. Plus the council had a nice little jewel reward out for anyone who helped, and a little extra cash was always nice to have.
"Vesta" she called over to the young witch, who had hopefully been following close behind her.
"You've got those card summons, right? The one that can fly and the fast thingy? Try having them look around for any signs of those monsters."
There were none around here, at least not close. But then again rain tended to interfere with senses. It would be easier to find them the beings purely made to help out.
