Moon Mages

Part 3

by Sept Winner



The next day after his lesson with Wufei he went to Iria's where he meet a new woman named Sept. In short she was beautiful. She had long black hair that was down. It went straight to her knees. She wore a simple blue dress that brought out her eyes and leather boots. She seemed to be a healer.

She tried her hardest to help Iria get better but her attempts were in vain. Carol came again, when she did Sept took Matthew and left. Duo stayed a little while longer before heading back. It was getting dark outside. He told Quatre about Sept.

"I don't know who Sept is," he said slowly, "wait did Carol have Winner family looks?"

"Yes, why," Duo asked clueless.

"Carol is my sister and she died over two years ago. We have to get to Iria's house now. She maybe in danger." (A.N. For those of you who have seen Fushigi Yuugi.. I did use what happened with Shoka to kind of perform this part. ^_^)

The five ran to the house to find Carol in the mist of trying to kill Iria. When she say Quatre she smiled a leering evil smile.

"Ah, they reason why I'm here has finally shown up," she sneered.

"What do you want Carol. Why aren't you in your grave," he asked.

"Simple little brother. Don't try it Yuy. It won't do any good. Dear, dear Quatre you may not remember this. 'I hate you Carol. I'll make sure you know what I can do. I'll never let you leave me til you know," she said in his voice. "I was a child and angry. I never meant those words," he cried.

"Too late and look whose suffering," she said pointing to Iria, "her and everyone in this town just about has went through this sickness."

"I won't let you do that," cried a new voice.

"Sept," Duo asked staring at her, she had a sleeping Matthew in her arms.

"What can you possibly do," Carol asked amused.

"I am a moon mage. I am the daughter of a confessor and Mr. Winner's abandoned daughter," she answered as she became alight with power.

"Your magic won't affect me," Carol smirked. "But I can," Quatre said.

"You could," Carol said before shooting a knife at him.

"Noooo," Duo screamed jumping in front of Quatre. He collapsed before the other boy. "Quatre. I always thought of you as a brother," he said weakly.

Before everyone's eyes the two began to glow. Sept watched with a smile as Quatre's high magic dispensed into the air. He was being given wild magic. When the glow faded the dagger was no longer in Duo but on the floor. Quatre and him stood up. Facing Carol Quatre began to speak.

"I have something new. I can feel wild magic running through my veins. Now you have seen what I can be come and I release you Carol. Go back to your faraway grave," he said in a completely calm voice.

"You can't do that little brother," she screamed.

"I can and I will," he said still clam shooting a bolt of white magic at her. (A.N. Remember Quatre's second time on the Zero system. He was so clam and in control it was weird.)

She and it dispelled on impact. Sept placed a sleeping Matthew next to his mother. She ran up to Quatre and rapped his arms around him tightly. She then let him go.

Bowing slightly, "Hello Quatre, Heero, Trowa, Wufei and lastly," she said smiling, "Duo." Heero pointed his sword at her, "Explain."

"All right, " she said as the sword lowered, "that white light when Duo got stabbed was called the brother bond because he is a confessor and Quatre is a high magic mage.... Duo's wild magic connected them as brothers. Magic brothers. They are what is called moon mages. They have all the powers that I do. Which is everything a confessor and 2nd class high magic mage can do. You'll meet my other half tomorrow."

"Why," Trowa asked.

"Because my friend and I are coming with you."

"You are not invited," Wufei snarled.

"Maybe not but your facing the five first classes. Even a brother or sister bond with soldiers it will be impossible to defeat them. It's impossible. I'm offering some help. Plus I'd like to get to know my brother."

"This is a war," Heero said grimly.

"Yes, I know. I'm excellent with swords and magic. You might find me valuable. My friend Helena is a very good tracker. We will prove ourselves when needed."

"What kind of women are you," Wufei spat, "acting like men when you should be at home with a husband or in an office somewhere as a secretary."

"My friend and I are descents of Amazons. Warrior women if you would. One more stupid comment saying men are better than women and I'll cut off an ear."

"Don't do that Sept. Wufei is the top fighter," Duo warned.

Sept only grinned, "So this is Wufei. I remember you. When you were learning there was a girl with very short black hair. She had blue eyes?"

He nodded.

"I'm that girl that always beat you in sword fighting. I can do it now," she said pulling a sword from it's place on her back smiling happily.

Wufei only stared, "Ganbatte ai," he asked.

"Yes, it means 'Good Luck Love.' My Aunt called me that until I was fourteen just before she died. When she did she told me the name she gave me when I was born. My real name, Sept Quatrina Winner."

"Quatrina was my mothers name," Quatre whispered.

"You were name after your mother as am I. I named after my mother, Sept and yours cause they were the best of friends. I don't know why the both gave birth to his children."

"This just gets weirder and weirder," Duo muttered, "I going to the inn and back to bed."

The other soon followed except Quatre. He stood there and stared at Sept.

"I don't understand," he whispered.

"What don't you understand," she asked in a gentle voice.

"About you, about me, Duo. Why I never knew you," he whimpered.

"I'll tell you everything I know tomorrow. Except this. I'm your younger sister. I was born three minutes after you. We're basically twins. Meet me in the town square."

Quatre smiled as he headed back to the inn. He now had two sisters he could rely on.
