Dear Journal.

Zukin wont stop bugging me about Puck, I don't get it. It's like her and mom know something I don't. And it's so confusing.

Keep asking when I'll bring him over for dinner, I just give them weird looks and then going up to my room to study something.

oh, I forgot to tell you about the first part of my... something.

I was hanging out with Puck, right? And Tymiko, his guardian, attacked him... so I attacked her... then.... I feel horrible for doing it.

But Puck was gonna get hurt!!!

Oooh, three exclaimation marks, you must really like that little elf boy!

Hey! Ugh, I go get a drink and Zukin's writing in you, what a loser. Ugh. Well I have to go, Zukin came up to call me down for dinner.

Dear Journal.

I was on my way to Traverse Town when I saw a fountain, I tossed a few of my allowance coins into it and made a wish. But I wont tell what it was, because then it wont come true, after all.

I met this boy named Korcha, he's definitely... interesting. He's very nice, although the first words he said were 'do you want to marry me'?

Marry? We're only kids, and I had just met him. It was definitely something I'm not used to. Boys being so foreward, that's weird... then again, I am only used to Puck's way of things I guess.

I wonder if most mortal boys are so... forward, I've only met Korcha and Puck, so no help there. I wonder if boys will grow out of weird things like that, grown up stuff. Yuck, who needs it?

Anyways, I helped get some fish in a big fountain where he wanted to fish, he seemed so happy. He even said he would teach me how to fish sometime before he left!

He asked me about the wish I made, but I can't tell anybody because then it wont come true, right? but I could always put it here though, since this is just a journal...

> ::I hope Puck finds a good true immortal friend he could spend eternity with, so he'll never be alone and lonely.:: <

I wonder where Puck is, I hope he comes back soon.

So I was reading up on a certain magic spell today, when I met a girl there. It turns out she's one of three triplets...

Meeting Hermione

Soul Calibur Event. (Minerva/Yunalesca)

Minerva frowned as she looked around her, the world had changed again and this time she didn't like it one bit. This definitely wasn't as nice-looking as Wonderland, and this time she was all alone.

She didn't like being alone at all.

It wasn't just that she was alone, she was now unarmed... well, not unarmed, but her wand was gone, and in it's place was a little sword, or a dagger, she also still had the shield that Puck and her had found. She didn't like the thought of having these weapons in her possession, that meant that she might have to use them.

"Hello?" She called out, looking around warily, the town didn't look all that bad, just different... but different wasn't always a good thing. Even her clothes were different, a pair of light green pants with a darker green.. kimono top? Minerva wasn't sure exactly what it was called, but it was weird.

This was definitely not what she had thought would happen when she went out. Things were supposed to go as planned, at least once. Yunalesca wasn't walking through Traverse Town anymore. Not the same Town she knew, anyway. The entire place was changing right before her. And it was not looking good. She sighed, and continued on.

Now her staff was gone. She wasn't happy about that at all. A much longer wooden weapon was now in her hands. It didn't have the same feeling to it -for one, she could feel no magic in it at all. That pleased her even less, considering the staff helped her a lot when she needed it.

But a little farther off, she could see someone. Maybe they knew what was going on... She walked up quickly, not hearing the girl speak out. "Excuse me..."

Minerva turned at the sound of someone's voice, a young girl like herself. "Hello," She smiled "I'm Minerva... you don't happen to know what's going on, do you?"

This new person definitely didn't seem happy about the new changes either, she was probably another resident of the former Traverse Town. "This change is like when 'Wonderland' happened, you think?... I think I'd prefer that weird and happy place compared to this." She said while looking around, almost in awe at the changes, it was almost the complete opposite of that twisted wonderland world.

Yunalesca smiled back to the young witch. "Sorry if I disturbed you. My name is Yunalesca. I want to ask if you knew, as I myself have no idea." She sighed lightly. "But I'm pleased to meet you, anyway."

She put her hands in front of her. Now, the Bo staff she now had was in front of her. She was used to holding her staff that way, and still had not had time to adjust. "I wouldn't know. From what I've heard, I came after just after this Wonderland appeared." She nodded, affirming her own statement.

Minerva smiled "Oh dont apologize, you didn't disturb me in the slightest, you'd have to do more than talk to do that!" She giggled, thinking about all the things Puck and her had gone through, nope, talking wouldn't scare her in the slightest.

"Yunalesca, was it? It's a pleasure to meet you as well!" Looking at the bo staff, she tilted her head slightly "what is that?" She asked, not used to seeing weapons, the one in her hand had shocked her enough.

"All right." She smiled back to the girl. "But please, tell me if anything's wrong, so I can try to make it better." She meant that in the sense that she might be doing something incorrectly, although it sounded a little different when she said it.

"Well, this is..." She looked down at it, and examined the new weapon closely. "...I really have no idea." She laughed. If she did, then it might have made her less uncomfortable. She kept thinking that she'd accidently hit someone with it -after all, it was taller than she was.

Minerva grinned and nodded "I'm sure that wont be necessary, but I'll keep that in mind."

She leaned forward slightly and also examined Yunalesca's weapon, "well, it looks a lot less dangerous than this blade I got stuck with... then again, I don't really know what it is, so I can't really assume anything." A pause and she frowned slightly "I really wish I had my wand with me, I don't feel safe at all with this thing."

Yunalesca's eyes moved back to Minerva, then moved down to the wooden weapon. She moved it, only to find that it was easier with both hands. She sighed. This would definitely take some time. The only thing she could hope for was that she wouldn't have to keep it for that much longer.

"I'd much prefer my staff, as well. I don't even think I can use any magic with this..." She had barely learned any, anyway. Only a few basic elemental attacks. "What are these even for? Do they have a purpose?"

Minerva shrugged "I don't know, probably just to make us fit in with the change of scenery, when Wonderland hit, everyone had different clothes and accessories, just like..." She burst into a fit giggles at remembering what Puck was stuck wearing as an outfit.

"I sure hope we don't have to use these, you don't think there are any dangerous people we'd have to fight here, do you?" She looked around again, the giggles instantly gone.
Yunalesca looked at her clothes to make sure they hadn't changed. "It looks like other than this and the landscape, nothing is different. I don't have a tail, or anything like that."

"We can't say that for sure... Not yet, anyway. But if it comes to that, than we may have to." She nodded. It really wasn't what she wanted to do. She could, if needed. She wasn't really partial to fighting strangers, or even people she knew.

"Really? That's interesting, I got new clothes, I usually just have a green dress." She looked down at her outfit and the blade again before finding something she didn't see before, a slot for the blade. She slid it in carefully before holding the shield with both hands in front of her.

"I sure hope not, I mean maybe if I had my wand and magic, I'd be able to make someone levitate and fly away from where we are... but I don't want to hurt someone." She paused, "I guess if I have to though..." She trailed off before a grin spread across her lips.

"Wanna stick together? We could go on an adventure in this new world?"

"I'm glad that I kept my own clothes." She dusted off her skirt. It was easier to move around in her normal outfit than it would be if she was wearing something that had come with the world. Her only problem was that she had no place to put the large staff. She'd have to carry it around, no matter how inconvienent it became.

She sighed. "I think I'm going to have an interesting time beating anything. Magic is much easier to use." She grinned slightly. "Only if it comes to that, though."

"It'd probably be much safer that way. Who knows what's here?" She had a feeling that if they heard loud noises, then it probably wasn't a boiler or a furnace. Even without all her magic, she could tell that this place was dangerous.

Minerva nodded in agreement, she didn't want to think about fighting anyone but the idea was becoming not so foreign to her at the moment. If she had to... then she had to, end of discussion.

"I don't even think I could begin to guess at what's here, I mean... there could be anything..." She started walking down a little pathway and grinned, her attitude was slowly starting to change, she wanted to go on a big adventure. "I wonder where everyone is, this place is a little quiet, even for the world change."

Yunalesca had no idea where they were, let alone where anyone else was. There were certain people she didn't want to see -not here, anyway. Possibly never again, if she was lucky. Though she probably wouldn't be.

"Or there could be anyone... Maybe we should try to find someone who knows what's going on. They'll be able to help. Hopefully." It occured to her that the people might not want to help them. They could only hope that they'd locate someone they knew quickly. She kept walking. "I pray it stays that way for a while, at least."

"I wonder... who would know what's going on? Is there someone in charge of all the world shifts? That's kind of a scary thought, because of what could go on in a place like this."

Turning to look at Yunalesca briefly, she glanced back at the road in front of her "then again, considering that... I think I agree with you, quiet's a good thing, right now anyways."

Yunalesca sighed again. "If there really is someone who's in charge of these, I'd love to get a memo about them."

She looked forward, making sure there was nothing ahead of them that would block their path. Nothing so far, but it would be easy to miss on a small path like the one they were on. "If we could find a landmark or building, then maybe we could find people." She pointed out.

Pausing in her step, she took a longer look at the world around them. "What about the castle? In Wonderland, the castle was still in the same spot, just... different looking. If we can find the castle, I'm sure we can find... well, anyone."

"The only problem is, how do we get there... you can't fly, by any chance, can you?"

Yunalesca searched around them. For some reason, she couldn't spot the castle. "We might be able to find Traverse Town. I don't know where it'd be, though. Probably close to the castle. So if we find one, we'll probably find the other." She nodded.

"I guess we'll have to stick to walking, because I don't know how to fly. I don't think so, anyway."

Minerva shrugged, she wasn't used to having to walk, but she'd deal with it. "Alright, and... that's right, I never noticed the positioning of everything, hopefully we'll find something soon... I mean, I see a few buildings up ahead, they could be houses... maybe?"

Yunalesca continued walking. She was usually got around that way, after all. Though flying did sound appealing. "There's only one way to find out. If they are houses, then hopefully we'll find a person who lives there. Someone who lives in a house here mgith know about this world."

"Or maybe they're just more people like us... let's hope for the former so we can figure something, well anything out." She said before giggling.

"I'm such a fool, how could I possibly forget..." She turned to face Yunalesca and held out her hand, a grin on her face. "We want to go to the castle, right? I can get us to the castle in a second." How could she forget the second thing she ever learned as a witch, "But you gotta take my hand."

"Even if they are like us, they might know more than we do." She optimistically hoped. There was still the chance that there was no one there.

"What?" She questioned. It wasn't that she didn't trust Minerva, but... She didn't know what would happen. She decided to chance it. "All right." Her hand grabbed the witch's. What was she planning to do? If it got them to where they wanted to go, then it couldn't be that bad.

Minerva smiled, glad that Yunalesca had trusted her, with a wink she held onto her hand a little tighter "this might not be the most fun thing you've done..."

She closed her eyes and concentrated on where the magical castle was, and the girls were instantly enveloped in a puff of smoke. A few seconds later it disappeared and Minerva was shocked, to say the least "What happened to the castle!?"

Yunalesca held onto the other girl's hand. She really didn't want to find out what would happen if she let go. That was incentive enough for her. "That was strange, to say the least." She checked to make sure she still had all her limbs. Amazingly, her staff had come with them. She had half expected it to stay there. "This can't be right..." It was surprising, to say the least.

Mistaking her words for confusion at the magic, she grinned "no it's right, this is the castle... oddly enough, it changed during Wonderland too, but... yeah."

Not really caring if Yunalesca held her hand or not, she held the other shield with her free hand and looked up at the new castle "then again, if we had weapons... should we really be going into the castle now? It might be a santuary, or the exact opposite..."

"It doesn't even look like the castle anymore." Her gaze panned across the area that used to look very different, trying to locate anything that looked familiar. It looked much less inviting than it had before.

Yunalesca found that the staff was hard to hold with just one hand. She moved the other away from Minerva's and onto the staff, supporting it with both. How she was even supposed to use it was a mystery. "This is the only place that we can guess is inhabited. We should go in, just to make sure."

Minerva nodded in agreement, "it doesn't like any place I'd want to go in... but I guess we don't have much of a choice, hm?" She grinned and started walking, wondering what kind of creatures they might encounter, but more important to her... was Puck alright?

"I guess we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best," she said with a smirk, she had said she wanted to go on an adventure, she shouldn't be complaining. With a big shove, she opened the door.

Yunalesca again trid to find something she could identify. Again, there was nothing. "Even if we had a choice, it looks like someting we should check in on." It wasn't the castle, but it was nice. For a moment, her thoughts drifted to her siblings. She hoped Wisp would be all right on her own... Of course she would be. The little belt packed a punch. And she could always color them to death.

Her fingers crossed, she followed after Minerva. The doors were now open, so all she had to do was walk through them. "This isn't the castle. Not at all." She smiled to herself.

Minerva walked through the doors with a big grin on her face, her eyes wide open. "This place... is gorgeous." She said softly as she spun around, trying to take in all the sights at once.

"It's definitely not the castle, but I don't mind right now, let's go explore!" She ran for a set of stairs before pausing and turning back to Yunalesca "Hey.. by any chance, you don't happen to know a boy named Puck?" A worried frown sat upon her face, Minerva was always transparent with her thoughts and emotions.

Yunalesca was amazed by the inside. It was obviously a mansion, she just didn't know who it belonged to. Although she felt more at home at the castle, this place was very comfortable. Lots of space. "You're right..." She looked around, trying to take in everything she saw.

"All right, let's get on our way, then." She followed the girl, running quickly. She stopped when Minerva did. "Puck... I've never met him, but I have heard of him." She smiled slightly to the girl. She didn't really now much about him. Just what he looked like.

At Yunalesca's words, her spirits dropped, but she put a smile on her face anyways "Really? Well, it was a long shot anyways, what have you heard about him? Probably something bad or trickster-ish if anything?" She asked as she gave up on walking and floated up the stairs, a grin on her face as she looked around at the details in the building.

She really hoped he was alright.

She smiled back to the other girl. "Not much, really. Sirius just said he was a fae." She nodded. "He mentioned you, too. But I wasn't really listening to him, I was too angry." That was what she remembered, anyway. Half the time she wouldn't listen to him because of that. She was still mad at him, even now. Most of the time she saw Sirius, she tried hard to ignore him. It didn't always work, and sometimes she even ended up yelling at him.

"Oh, you know Sirius?... If you see him before I do, can you tell him I'm sorry? When I met him I wasn't exactly the best company." She said as she got to the top of the stairs peaking around a corner into a hallway.

"Yup, he's a fae all right, a real sneaky one," she muttered before glancing at the other girl, "You were angry, at him?" She paused before grinning "sorry, it's none of my business if you don't want to tell me."

Yunalesca sighed deeply. "Yes, I do." She felt responsible for her brother and sister, so most of the time, she didn't even want to know what they'd done when she wasn't looking. She worried about Sirius even more than she should have. "I'll make sure to do that." She smiled.

"I'll keep that in mind when I meet him." She nodded and grinned. "Yes, and I still am. My brother can be extremely frustrating sometimes." She rubbed her eyes. "Don't worry about that, though. I don't mind you asking."

Minerva grinned, it seemed she knew Sirius very well if she was going to sigh about it. "Thank you," She said, a smile on thanks on her face.

"Yeah, if you meet him... you probably wont like him, he's sneaky and tricky and... well you might, in all honesty, it's just a friendly warning."

Oh, they were related, that makes sense. "I think everyone can be extremely frusterating, you just have to be lucky not to catch them in their moments." She giggled.


"I'll be careful around him. I can only hope that when I do meet him, you'll be there. That should make things a bit easier." It was always better for her to meet someone when they had someone they both knew there. The person was sort of a bridge between them. She went quickly up the stairs, into another amazing area of the mansion.

"With Sirius, it seems like every minute is a moment for him." She sighed, before smiling again.

"Sure, alright... I'll be there." Yunalesca's words made her frown as she followed her into the other area, Puck probably wouldn't go anywhere she was. She looked around as she looked at everything there, it was all so amazing, yet... something was off. Probably the fact that it was from another world, there was just something different about it.

She flew off the ground to inspect a picture high up on the wall. The girl shown on it was pretty, she looked like she was royalty... or, she acted like it anyways. Maybe this is her mansion? "Well, then I guess he'll never be bored, if he's always having a 'moment'," she grinned.

She headed over to the window and stood on the windowsill, poking her head out and looked down to the ground and around the area briefly, looking for the girl, or for someone else, she wasn't entirely sure.

"I wonder who we're going to find in here," she spoke as she hopped back to the ground. "There's no way this mansion is going to be deserted."

Yunalesca didn't know about what had happened before -Sirius had conveniently left that part out. She glanced at everything that she could see. The mansion had a lot of amazing things in it. She couldn't sense any real problems with it. Though after a few minutes of gawking at every item she saw, it did feel a little too amazing. A little too perfect. That sent shivers down her spine for a moment, before a large portrait grabbed her attention along with Minerva's. It wasn't completely in her view, but she could see most of it.

"Yes." She'd never admit it, but she actually had fun, too. But whenever Sirius did something, she'd make a comment about it being childish. Then he'd normally remind her that that was what childhood was for, then move on to the next task.

For a moment, she thought about who could live here. The mansion was large enough to have servants somewhere... It wasn't like it was built for only one person to live in it. "Maybe they're all off trying to find out what happened. Or maybe they didn't notice. I agree, though. There has to be someone here. We'll just have to keep looking until we find them."

"And hope that we find the right person, don't forget that part." She grinned as she ran into the hallway, she didn't want to admit it, but that room was giving her shivers.

"Hello!?" She called out, listening as her voice echoed throughout the hallways, "I don't think anyone's here, unless they're in another room... you want to search them all?" She asked as she headed up for the next room.

Opening the door, it swung so loosely that it ended up hitting the wall and shaking the contents of the room, which happened to be weapons. A few swords and other things Minerva didn't recognize fell to the floor in a big series of crashes. Minerva quickly shut the door and backed away from it, a sheepish grin on her face "I'm going to take a guess and say nobody's in there? On to the next room!"

"I don't want to know what will happen if we don't find the right person." For a moment, she had to think about who else they could find there. With any luck, no monsters. Because she couldn't defend herself all that well yet with anything, let alone a big wooden stick she'd only just gotten.

"Is there anyone here?" Her voice echoed and mixed in with Minerva's, until it was impossible to tell what they'd even said in the first place. "We'll only have to search them all if there's only someone in the last place we look!" She grinned and continued on.

Yunalesca jumped back slightly. She hadn't been prepared for a room full of weapons, let alone ones that made loud noises. Now she could only hope that there would be no more rooms like that one. And that there would be no more loose doors. "I'd say that that would be a good guess." She pointed forward, and randomly picked a door. She peeked in through a small crack before opening the door this time. Inside, there was a room that looked like a person could live there. It was pretty bare, though. Other than a few large windows and a very huge bed. But no people, again. She sighed and closed the door. "Nothing there, either."

Soul Calibur Event. -3 (Minerva/Yunalesca/Puck/Sirius)

"Looks like this place had the same idea you did." He pulled down on the bottom of his shirt so that he could get a better look at the chestplate. There was a dog there... Someone had a sense of humor. "I'll make sure it's ready to send someone flying." It wasn't as though he could send them that far, even if he had to. Was the door locked? He pulled on the handle, and it was. "Want to look around first, or should I open it?"

"I have a feeling it's more than just an 'idea' that we share," Puck replied cryptically. "And am I to take that as a threat?" Since the abrupt halt of his own ability to fly, he had grown much more cranky than usual, and mean-tempered thoughts filled his mind. Fortunately he was too occupied concentrating on his task, however, to voice or act on them. In his recent state, it was not likely he'd have been able to.

With the door being locked, his impatience only increased. "Open it, if you can."

Minerva frowned, she felt bad that she burst off without making sure the others could follow, and that they didn't find anybody either.

"Why don't we take a break? Maybe give Glenn a chance to catch up... if he even knows where we are that is." As she spoke, she looked around the room again, before she heard a familiar voice, coming from a place not too far away.

Minerva's eyes went wide as she looked around again, before she leaned out the window and spotted the two, Puck and Sirius! And it appeared that the world had affected them as well. "Yunalesca, come on!" She instantly jumped out the window and started running/gliding up to them.

Unaware of Puck's state, she tackled the boy in a big hug, but not with enough force to knock him down, she didn't need him to get mad at her again. A big grin appeared on her face as her eyes sparkled with happiness, "I can't believe you're here! I've been looking everywhere for you, please don't be mad at me anymore Puck, I don't think I could bare it if you were." She giggled, all her earlier frusteration was gone, she just hoped that he wouldn't be moody this time around. "Hi Sirius!"

"Yes, but not for you." Sirius had been just about to open the door. He saw no need to at the moment, considering Puck was occupied by the girl who was literally clinging to him. He moved his wand back down to his side so he could still use it if needed. "Hi, Minerva." He waved with his other hand. Out of the corned of his eye, he saw a second person climbing out the window. He turned to look at them, to find it was his sister.

Yunalesca was taking her time getting out. She hadn't seen who was outside, nor was she as excited as Minerva to see them. But when she was out of the window, she did run. It only took her about a minute to reach the small group of people that was now forming. She didn't really recognize the person in armor, but he gave her a feeling like she knew who he was. Probably Puck, considering Minerva had attacked him like that. "Hello, Sirius." She hugged him, which was surprising. It only lasted a second, but she did actually embrace him. It was a little less of a reason for Sirius to smirk, considering she smacked him in the back of the head after. Yunalesca finally regained her composure. "Next time something like this happens, I should know where you are."

"Glad to know you were worried." He rubbed the back of his head, smiling.

The fae boy was just about to inquire on whom Sirus planned to send flying, when he heard a distant shout and instinctively looked up. It was noneother than the little green witch, Minerva. Only, she didn't look so much like a witch anymore. It took a moment for Puck to recognize her with her hair up and her dress replaced with pants of a martial arts style.

"M-Minerva! What - ?!" When she tackled him, he tried not to wince as the links in his chain mail were pressed against him. Despite that, he was glad to see her; possibly just as much if not more. She looked all right to him, though her stick was no where in sight. Instead, a special dagger-like weapon, something like a kai knife, was sheathed and strapped to her left leg.

For all her new looks, however, there was no mistaking that undeniable grin and those happy, hazel eyes. He had forgotten to take care in avoiding them...after all, hadn't he just sought her out to make sure she was okay? He hadn't meant for her to notice him, though he doubted he could have accomplished such a task with his own new attire. A part of him was glad to know she still cared, though. He didn't like the thought of facing this new world without her.

"I-I'm not mad," he told her, finding it startlingly difficult to breathe as she hugged him. "Calm down!" He would have asked if she was mad at him, but if she bore him any ill will, he decided it wasn't the best time to remind her of it. Her new weapon, though not a wand, seemed formidable, especially with someone like her weilding it, and with his arms pinned to his sides, he was feeling rather uneasy. "Minerva - I can't - move!"

In managing to turn his head the slightest fraction, he could see Siruis embraced by a second girl, this one unfamiliar to him. Puck frowned, surprised the wizard seemed to know her.

"We came to see if..." he paused, racking his mind for something to say. Anything but the truth. It was odd how often he had almost come to spilling it recently. "...if anyone was in the mansion who might be able to tell us what this place is," he continued. "It looks like you beat us to it. Any luck?"

Minerva's face tinted a light red as she let go of Puck and took a few steps back to give him space, forgetting in her happiness that he might like to be able to move with an attachment. It wasn't her fault she couldn't help it, she was just so happy to see him, especially since he said he wasn't mad. "I'm glad," she spoke simply as she looked at the two boys.

"Well, we didn't find anyone who owned the house, just a boy hanging upsidedown in a closet.... Speaking of Glenn, he didn't follow us into that room, did he?" Minerva asked Yunalesca as she glanced back to the window she had jumped out of earlier. "I sure hope he's alright."

As soon as she turned back to face the others, her gaze focuses on Puck. Something was wrong, she couldn't believe she didn't notice it before. Puck wasn't flying!

She took a step closer to his and lifted a hand, touching a piece of the chain mail that was just above the glove on his hand. She didn't know much about metal, especially the different kinds, but if Puck was not acting like himself, her best bet would be that he was covered in iron. "Are you alright?" She asked him quietly, not sure if he would want the other two to know about is weakness.
