So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

A spell just to make someone hurt? That's horrible.

Mostly?

Well, that's why it is classified as one of the 3 unforgivable curses.

Is anyone every OK when they have this app?

Do I want to ask about the other two?

Well, okay. Mostly okay is probably fine then.

Do you really want to know?

How about this: What do you think the other two Unforgivable curses are? and I'll let you know if you're close.

Something unforgivable? I guess..killing?

[Since that is murder and all. She figures that's still not acceptable even for wizards. Not that she is sure yet on the other Unforgivable Curse.]

BINGO! You got one of them.

Do you think you can guess the next one?

Um. I'm not sure. That was just the first thing that came to mind. That there's a spell for killing or torturing is bad enough. Let alone another one.

The Imperius Curse. Its a curse that forces a person do do exactly what you tell them to do.

Imperius Curse? But that -- what if they don't want to do it? That's...ah, probably why it's one of these three 'Unforgivable Curses'.

Exactly. Most people don't like being force to do something against their will.

Kero-chan should take lessons. It isn't like it was exactly my choice to end up with all the cards back home and all.

Though that -- I was mostly helping because I didn't want others getting hurt or anything. Not like this, with the spell.

I doubt this Kero-chan has the ability to command you to kill yourself if the thought ever so came to him.

[This is the crap Draco as taught at age 14. Your age Sakura. So he's not holding back on informing you now.]

Well, there was the Judgement with Yue-san, but. That wasn't quite like that, no.

[That thought, of someone using the curse to command someone to kill another or themselves. How this magic could be used in such a way, it was kind of terrifying.]

What was that like? The Judgment with... Yue-san?

I had to do it. If I failed, that would mean everyone who had anything to do with the cards, they'd forget their most important person. I'd forget.

Yue-san was the other Guardian of the cards.

This Yue-san sounds like a jerk. Who made up those... really messed up rules?

I guess it would have been Clow-san? He made the cards and all, so. He was probably the one that figured any rules with it.

A guy made cards... that you had to collect... and then be tested in such a awful way? Was he some evil wizard or did he just have a warped personality?

I'm not sure. I don't think he was evil? It's just he wanted to make sure the cards went to someone who could handle it?

Well he had many screws loose. How old was the other you when she was pulled into this?
