"Wha--wait a second here..." It was like the whole thing was a dream. Did they really get attacked just now? Some part of Bree's eye looked to the moon for the answer, but it was silent as always. "Yeah, I guess so." She answered her question reluctantly, disillusioned really and continued to nod absently as Kira told of the situation at hand. She hadn't the time, but she could have wondered what it had to do with her.
"You mean this is what it's all about!" Bree turned her head away. "I didn't... I didn't sign up for this. All I wanted to do was learn. Now we're dealing with things that kill grim reapers for fun? That's not ok!" Mulu looked back and roared defiantly.
"... Oh." Bree wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and looked to Kira. "I'm sorry. The contract was for me to help protect justice-or whatever, and in exchange Mulu here will make me able to cast spells and learn about Black Magic." Finally a smile. "So it looks like I'll have to come after all."

 Ｋｉｒａ Ｄｅｌｐｈｉｎｅ ╠═══════════════════════════════╣
Kira Delphine looked at Bree as she had grown worried."Do not worry, my friend. No harm will come to you, I swear on my life. Now, before we leave, I will teach you a simple spell." Kira turned around and took a deep breath. She turned back around to face Bree."Necromancy is a bit tricky and can go very wrong without the correct foundations, so for now, we shall do a simple binding spell. Now black magic is traditionally a ritual, but once you get the hang of it, you can cast on the spot if need be, depending on what it is your doing. Wait here."
Kira ran inside of the church and found a white stone, easy to chalk pavement with, and a lit candle. There was a small paved bath beside the church which Kira led Bree too. Kira had also found a cat inside the church, and carried it outside. She gently pulled a piece of fur from the cat, then placed the cat in front of Bree."Now this binding spell will temporarily allow you to control your subject, in this case the cat. Strengthening your technique with this spell will allow you more control of your subject, as well as the length of time. Being able to do this with animals is a great way to spy or collect information, as opposed to an actual person. Plus, once you get the whole subconscious mind involved and the complexities of a non-animal's brain, things get messy."
Kira handed the fur to Bree, then pulled a black ribbon from her bag and handed it to her."Now gently wrap the ribbon around the fur and tie a knot. The fur represents the personal item of the subject. For a person, most choose a photograph or an article of clothing. The ribbon represents the binding. And the flames from the candle seal the deal. It doesn't have to be a candle, but it's easier to carry around. Now, I want you to focus on the cat. Think about what you want. Black magic is about wanting something. It's about selfishness and thinking only of yourself. You want the cat to do what you say, if only for a moment. You want nothing else. Once your mind is focused, you will chant I bind you from the front, I bind you from the back, I bind you by day, I bind you by night, as above, so below, so mote it be. As you chant this, set the fur and ribbon on fire with the candle. Do not worry about the flame burning you. Perform the spell correctly, and you will remain unharmed. Give it a try."Kira stepped back to let Bree try it for herself.
✿Thinking:She can do this...✿Feeling:Calm✿Company:Bree"Deep in my heart I'll keep myself strong and fighting.
And that's how I stay strong even now." Kira's Scythe

"Oh... Yeah, ok!" Bree nodded and made these kinds of sounds the whole way through the explanation. It wasn't so much that the information was defeating her so much as it was the situation; being caught off guard by the frying pan/fire treatment. But when you consider they'd almost had a fight earlier this might've been the reverse.
"Um... I don't mean to question you," said Bree when the selfish desire bit was mentioned, "but my whole contract with Mulu says I'm supposed to protect others; basically not be selfish; how am I supposed to be selfish now?"

Ｋｉｒａ Ｄｅｌｐｈｉｎｅ ╠═══════════════════════════════╣
Kira Delphine thought about Bree's response for a moment."Sometimes, being selfish is not always a bad thing. It means you want to gain something for yourself. You want to protect others so you may keep your contract with Mulu. I'm sure you still care about those you're protecting, but do you not want the contract with Mulu for yourself? That's the difference between black magic and white magic. But it is how you use the magic you learn, that matters. I'm a reaper and I collect souls and help them. That is my job. I use black magic to stay hidden and secretive, for my own sake. But by remaining hidden for myself, I am also helping the souls. You can be selfish by wanting to only help others. It's a difficult concept, I know, but you will learn."
Kira put a hand on Bree's shoulder."Think of how bad you want to help others. Think of how that makes you feel. That feeling of pride, that will help guide your magic. If you don't think of yourself, you cannot perform Black magic."

"Oh... Right!" Said Bree nodding blankly as Kira explained all of these paradoxical solutions to her. They were really dizzying. Maybe that was because Bree hadn't an affinity for philosophy like her parents thought she ought to, in the times they thought Breanna was perfect which happen to run independently of their current understanding in a time all their own, or maybe it was the expectation, the idea of which, which made Bree slightly remiss at not studying Plato. Now was a different time, though, and outside all of that Bree was taking her life into her own hands. She still wanted to study, but she just wanted to study Black Magic too. Helping people is nice as well. When you think about it, there was really nothing selfless about Bree's impromptu altruism except its paradoxical aim to benefit man thanks to a third party... And here we are again.
"Right! Let's do this." She closed her eyes and thumbed the cat's fur. It was so lovely: all the essence of the cat, all its loveliness, all its fury, all the ways in which it could tell time merely by walking along a certain path. Breanna felt them all. She found herself for a moment wanting that to be hers forever. At that moment the feline jumped and stood still, like a pointer, at Bree.
"Ah! I did it, Kira!" The cat seemed to respond to her glee by spinning around a couple times and doing a backflip, coming to rest on its hind legs.

Kira Delphine smiled as Bree performed the spell. She watched as she performed the correct actions, resulting in the cat being controlled by her."Yes, excellent Bree! Well done." Kira looked up at the sky. It was growing late."It's growing late, and I should get going for collecting souls. Since you mastered the spell quicker than anticipated, I think you should head back to the dorms. I want you to keep practicing. Practice with flies or small creatures. Don't practice with people just yet. I think I should get the souls on my own. I just want it to be quick and done with so I can go to the other Reapers and tell them all that's happened. I'll see you later, Bree."Kira's voice trailed off a bit. She wanted to figure things out and was afraid that Bree wouldn't be able to handle the children just yet. Kira wasn't sure how the bodies would look, and she didn't want to traumatize Bree by having her see everything. Plus, in case they were attacked, Kira wanted to ensure Bree's safety. She had to let the Council know what happened to the two other reapers, and what happened to her in class that day. She turned around and waved her hand at the wall of the church. A black shadow appeared."If you step through there, it'll take you back to the academy campus. I have to go."After that, Kira disappeared in a cloud of black smoke and was gone.

"Yeah... I... I did it!" It was slow to hit her, the magnitude of controlling another creature? Yes, that should be something to celebrate... In doses, a defense mechanism for some--from some?--level of Bree's mind; a new weapon sharpening itself on a selfish slate.
"Oh, ok... If you think that's best. Come on, Mulu..." She was only a little bit disappointed. The pauses mostly came from tiredness. Apparently she'd still a ways to go to get her stamina up. "Um, Kira?" She said near the exit, "Would it be alright if we practiced again tomorrow? I want to get better at this... To help you." Bree hardly even waited for the answer, so tired was she she could barely think.

Kira landed in front of the chapel doors. She opened them with a shadow and walked in. She lay Bree on the floor near the alter. She turned around and waved her hand at the door, using a charm to lock and seal them inside.
Kira knelt down to her friend."My friend...are you alright?" she said quietly. She was trying to focus on caring for her friend in order to distract herself from her maddening mind and thoughts. She let out a sigh and began to cry. Everything was happening so fast and intensely. She was thinking of killing innocent people, and began to ask herself if she ever would. She knew she was different from other Reapers in that she physically couldn't kill any beings with a soul in them. However, so much had happened that she began to wonder if perhaps she would be able to because of the darkness that swirled around inside her. She wiped her tears and tried to focus on her friend. That's where her energy was needed right now.

"... I... I'm sorry, who are you again?" The new hair maybe? Definitely the eyes were something new. Bree looked like a lost pup, taking a quick glance around to note her surroundings.

Kira forced a smile on her face and folded her wings back. She looked at Bree."Bree...It's me, Kira. I know I look different but I'm still-"Kira couldn't finish speaking. She wanted to say me but she couldn't. She didn't know who she was anymore. Was she someone different, or was this who she really was all along? She shook her head. She tried to repress the confusing thoughts until after she made sure her friend was okay.

"... Kira? I'm sorry," said the young rookie black mage with a blank look, "I don't know a Kira." Are ya sure, doc?? Yes, I'm sure... It's AMNESIA. Whatever process brought this on was subject to supposition, but there was one truth about it that couldn't be revoked, and that was that it was here and it wasn't going away anytime soon.
"Look, you seem nice and everything, and I really like your horns--so real!--" she said as she went to feel them, "but I have to get ready for school tomorrow. It's my first day, you know, and I really don't want to..."
"Wait a second. Isn't it a little early for Halloween?" Bree didn't really know how she got here either, but she seemed to be focused solely on Kira's non-conformity with this world right now.

Kira's face completely dropped when Bree had not remembered who she was. She covered her mouth and a few tears dropped. As Bree went to touch her horns, she drew back. She quickly scrambled to stand up. She stood there, looking at Bree, unable to say anything. What was there to say? Hey remember me? I'm the Reaper who was overtaken by darkness and now I want to kill pretty much anything that breathes except for you. We are friends, remember? She took a deep breath. She thought of what she should say. Kira knew better than to try to overwhelm Bree with information. Amnesia wasn't something you could rush to get better, assuming it even could.
Kira cleared her throat and wiped her eyes."Y-yes. I suppose it is. I just like to try new things I suppose...I'm sorry for the confusion, I thought you were...someone else..."She thought that the girl in front of her was her friend Bree, but it seemed that she was someone else entirely. But then again, so was Kira. Here were two girls that were close friends, and now they were both new strangers.
Dark thoughts began to run through Kira's mind. A voice inside her head began to speak to her.What's to stop you from taking the girl's soul? I mean...she's not really your friend, right? She doesn't even remember you and she thinks you are a costume! She dare mocks you! You are a powerful demon and she makes fun of you...You should show her what you've become!Kira shook her head, repressing the dark thoughts as best she could. Shadows began emitting from her hand, and she tried to resist violent urges. She walked to the door and released the charm she had placed on it to lock it."You should go. If you turn at the end of the street, there are signs that will guide you to the academy."

"Hey, are you ok?" Bree pulled her hand back and held it like it had been burned. "... I'm sorry. I don't know who you are, but you seem nice enough. You shouldn't feel bad about... Whatever it is you feel bad about." She decided it best to get the heck out of there, not having nothing to do with the fact she was just now seeing the place wasn't her home and that sinking feeling of lostness one feels upon realising they're no longer under the light of their North Star--if you will.
"Thanks for, uh, taking care of me. I hope we meet again! Only, you know, under better circumstances." A sheepish laugh before Bree turn and ran all the way home, searching her thoughts for shelter from this storm of worry as much as the physical plane for a home. But, seeing as it was still early in the day, she decided to at least check out the school to rule out bizzaro-world as an option.

  Ａｓｍｏｄｅｕｓ Ｆｏｌｌｙ ---Councelor--- Hello there~  A small circle opened and out of it crawled Folly having to get a knee up. The portal because of it's location made her a bit wonky. Blinking a few times then stepping up and through as the portal closed beneath her. As it did a bit of a groan could be heard and Folly quickly had to have her wings come out and came to a hover. Looking at the ground in disgust then crossing her arms with a hand on the side of her head. Looking around some unable to fully focus. Perhaps... this wasn't the best location...Blinking a few more times gaining her full composure. Then looking around the chapel. It was pretty. Giving a small smile. OOC:
