Epic of Bee

I turned back to Helaina and smiled.

"So, are you ready to get going to find Rai Cait?" I asked, but she was still looking at Sakura, who was staring at her.

"So this is the creature that General Kiliada was so worried about?" Helaina asked me as she stared.

Then Helaina squealed and ran over behind me as Sakura shifted back into her massive tiger form with the burning pink tails and paws. I was going to yell at Sakura, but Helaina came out from behind me right away and slowly approached Sakura.

"Wow, you are really big and beautiful! I can see why Ashia wanted to capture you," Helaina said as she circled around Sakura, the brief fear that she had was replaced by intrigue as she examined the Ninetails.

"Yes, she is quite the magnificent creature, but you can oogle her later. Let's get going on to the next one, Davo, and hopefully, we can avoid fighting," I said, but I didn't really have a lot of confidence in my statement.

p Helaina turned back to me from her inspection of Sakura and nodded her head, and Sakura shifted back. The two girls looked good together as they walked back over to me, but now it was time for me to focus on what was coming up, and I turned myself to face up the tunnel that we were now heading towards.

"What happened to the creature that you said you were going to face?" Atom asked me in my head, and I shook my head.

"It was far stronger than I expected, and nothing that I was using was having any effect on the creature. It was immune to everything, and it was able to regenerate faster than I could kill it," I explained, and I felt Atom nod in my head.

"I am sure that you will figure out how to deal with it, and if you don't, then you can always ask Rai Cait about it. He was the one that put her in there after all, so if anyone knew about the monster, it would be him, right?" Atom asked me, and I nodded as the girls followed behind me, talking.

Helaina was talking to Sakura about the pink fire that covered the tips of her tails and the tops of her paws. I listened because I was also more than curious how a creature could be on fire like that.

"The pink fire comes from my Gem Heart, and it is the Medium that I use for all the Magic that I can use. I can't use other elements alone, but my fire is not like normal fire," Sakura explained and then switched back to her human form.

"Does that mean that you can do special Spin Magic like the other Ninetails? I know that they are no more because of what the Meccat did to your people, but I have been taught about your people," Helaina explained as I slowed to fall back beside the girls.

I was interested in this Spin Magic, and I had never heard anything about it before. I was also curious about the pink fire that Sakura produced.

"Yes, I can use the MagiSpin, but my Gem heart would allow me to create offensive spells because of my Gem Heart. My Gem Heart is called The Blossoming Heart Fire, and all MagiSpin that I use affects the emotions," Sakura explained, but that was only part of what I wanted to know.

"What is this Spin Magic that Helaina is talking about?" I asked, and then I lifted the three of us into the air.

"Woah! What are you doing?!" Sakura asked in shock, but I shook my head.

"Same thing as before when you first met me. I can control the gravity around me with my GraviBee's. Now, tell me about this MagiSpin. Can anyone learn it, or is it only designated for Ninetails?" I asked after answering her question.

"Interesting, I have never heard of someone that could use more than just gravity Magic, and I have seen you use a bunch of different elements. Who taught you to use them? You don't use the circle, so you won't be able to use MagiSpin yet, but it is not purely for the Ninetail race, but we are able to learn it easier than most other creatures," Sakura explained as we floated forward.

"Okay, so I need to learn more about the circles, but you still haven't explained what MagiSpin is," I said, and Sakura nodded.

"Yes, sorry. MagiSpin is using, in our case, our base element and then pulling in natural Magic to mix with it, rather than using Magic that you already know to combine with it. The effect is that the two Magic will spin together, and the spell creates more than just one effect. When you gain a better understanding of the runes and circles, you will be able to use specific parts of the Magic or the word and mix them," Sakura explained, and I nodded.

"So that is how the barrier was built then, right? That Giant Mecha-Hydra-Sect must be using the same thing then, right?" I asked, and Sakura nodded.

"Yes, my father was especially good, and he used stone and metal for his mediums mostly, so he will be hard to best while inside of the mountain," Sakura explained.

"Then there must be a way to unspin the Magic then, right?" I asked, and Sakura laughed.

"Unspin? Yes, but that isn't how it works. MagiSpin is only called that because it is a process you use to separate the basic Magic into the more specific elements and then combine it into the spell. Think of MagiSpin of dividing Magic up into all the parts that make it up," Sakura explained.

"So that is why there were so many different rune names on the Barrier circles. So if I learn how to use MagiSpin, will I be able to create new Magic?" I asked, feeling a bit of excitement rise in my chest.

"Exactly," Sakura said, and I grinned.

"Then you are going to have to teach me."
