”I keep telling you Diabloa, I’m perfectly fine. My magic is not overloading or whatever you called it.”

”After your energy nearly cost this manor it’s garden I beg to differ. Now stop fighting and just do as your doctor says child!”
_____Kaede grumbled to herself for a few moments before looking out towards the garden from the medical room of the manor. Outside she could see the hole that appeared when she supposedly blacked out while having one of her astral magic visions. Moving her arms upward kaede pulled away the top of her dress to reveal her back to Diabloa, and her chest to anyone in the garden looking up to the second floor. A blush along Kaede’s face as she felt the cold metal along her shoulder.

”It seems like the curse seal I had set on your back has weakened along with you learning to control the magic more, but…”
_____Kaede tried to look back at Diabloa to see why she had stopped mid sentence before the clod metal moved down her spine causing Kaede to grip the sheets at her sides and arch her back. She seriously hated how the woman set the curse marks where Kaede disliked cold touching her. Hands gripping more as Diabloa moved the metal back up Kaede’s spine to her other shoulder.

”I’ve only seen this two other times in all my years alive Kaede… The other time was with that woman you described who gave you this magic… Your body, while it has many mysteries to me like every person who as you said ‘hails from another world’ this marking style of magic is that of Cosmic Retribution.”

”Cosmic what now?”

”Allows you to use astral magic for combat, highly destructive and very powerful even at the start. If my theory is correct that magic result in the garden might have been your body misreading or reacting to your vision as more defensive.”

”I still don’t get what your… AHH!...”
_____Kaede’s words cut short as she felt he back ignite in flames, the same it had done when Diabloa set the seal on her because the astral magic was to strong for Kaede to handle. No matter if she knew it was only temporary, or the fact it would leave no mark did not seem to reach her mind or nerves to stop the pain as she shrieked out in pain again with a far greater tone. The woman behind Kaede simply mumbling words as black flames trailed her finger and she kept working until it was done and the trail vanished into Kaede’s skin.

”Until I can be sure you won’t go cosmic explosion again I’ll seal your magic fully. If you try to draw from it, that pain is going to remind you to stop. Now off you go Kaede, you have the next few days free from any politics once I talk it over with your ‘father’ that it is unwise to have you leave.”

”Great, so I go from house protection after people tried to kill me to medical supervision at home… With a day of freedom between that was spent passed out after my magic decided to go momma bear.”
_____Kaede’s tone was greatly annoyed as she pulled her dress back over her upper body and rose. Diabloa moving to wrap her arms around kaede’s neck and kiss the girl’s cheek before whispering something in her ear. ”Think of it this way, you can use this time to test a few of my new toys with some of your lovely friends… and not worry about the visions until I find a way to ease you into the magic.~” Kaede blushed as she looked down to see a few things in Diabloa’s hand. Kaede’s focus broke as the someone knocked on the door before opening it.
”Lady Kaede, there is someone here to see you… Did I interrupt something…?”

”Nothing at all… Diabloa just leave the medicine in my room, lead the way Elizabeth.”
_____Kaede’s face shifting to her noble smile and relaxed features as she rose and followed the maid towards the main gate. For the first time Kaede had no idea what was going to happen or who it could be, for the first time in so long she was left curious and to be honest it made it very hard to remain composed like most those of the manor knew her to be.
