Nope, but that would have been smarter

“You understand you would be making an enemy of the guild by doing this?” I asked. “The woman before you is my sister, not yours. You dumb bastard.”

“You think I wouldn’t recognize my own sister because her hair color changed?” Henry shouted. “She’s a wizard, so be careful. Be don’t let my sister escape.”

“Sister,” Julia said. “What should I do?”

“Fire lance!” I said as I slammed it near point blank on the ground causing a burst of fire around. The two guys backed up for a moment.

“I got this sister, don’t worry,” I said as I knelt down. “Goddess of Beauty, hear my prayers, and-”

The men ran towards me. They didn’t plan to let me finish the prayer. Smart, or it would be but, I flipped up one of my wands. “Tremor stun,” I said as I launched the vane amplified earth spell towards both of them. The instantly crumbled to the ground.

“Yeah, fucking with an expert wizard wasn’t your smartest move guys,” I said. I saw town guards coming. I would need to wrap this up while I was still justified. I grabbed the wind spell wand I had ready and began the process of activating the vane. “Gale, listen and heed my commands. Send these three home.”

With a wave of the wand, all three men shot into the sky before blasting off in another direction. The guard that arrived drew a sword towards me.

“Did you just kill them?” he asked.

I shook my head. “No. That spell just sends them safely home. I already submitted a complaint with the guild. So they will back up my position.”

“Let me see your guild card,” he asked.

I took it out as Julia hugged me. “Is he safe?”

I nodded. “He will be fine.”

“What about his business?” she asked.

“That too. I could ruin it if I complained but I don’t plan to.”

The guard handed the guild card back to me. “I’ll follow up with them. But stay in town for at least three days.”

I nodded. I turned to Julia. “How far is how home?”

“Vale,” she said.

I scrunched my face. That was going to be an unpleasant ride. Like a three week horseback ride. Though, a vane enhanced gale could probably do it in like, seven hours? He was probably gonna be feeling sick. I tried to warn him.

The simple fact of the matter was. For my little sister. For my family. I would be brutal if I had to be. I looked at the bag Julia was holding. Peeking inside, everything looked good.

“You ready to see my ultimate brew?” I asked her.

She nodded excitedly. Well, technically this was my second best brew. But any day I did the absolute best brew was a sad day. Even charmed, I wasn’t sure I could consider myself being willing to use that for Master. I’d do anything else for him but that was just… Enough of that. He won’t need me to brew that. If we have enough funds I can brew extra special fun things too.

“Definitely big sister!” she said.

I smiled. We worked hard. It was time to see the results of some of that hard work.
